The Independent Energy Advisor.
Solar. Battery. EV. Backup. Owner’s representative — never paid by installers.
Most solar buyers get pitched. You should get advised. Packaged engagements that turn confusion into a defensible decision — from a 48-hour quote review to full project coordination from quote to commissioning.
Built by Arno Marten — designed and built his own off-grid solar system. NZ-based, NZ-priced.
Sound familiar?
- Installer quotes vary wildly — who’s actually right?
- Pushy sales tactics, and a decision you can’t easily reverse.
- Technical jargon you can’t evaluate on your own.
- A 10–15 year payback riding on getting it right.
- You don’t know what to ask — or what you don’t know.
