Real numbers before you commit capital
An independent feasibility study built on your actual consumption data, not a sales proposal’s assumptions.

A good study starts with a year of your data
Savings depend on when you use power, not just how much. Half-hourly data shows how much solar you would use on site, how much you would export, and whether a battery makes sense.
EECA’s own guidance for commercial solar is that “it’s best to have one whole year of half hourly data to fully understand your usage”. That is the starting point for a SolarLink study.
Included where applicable
Your data
12 months of electricity data, with half-hourly analysis where it is available.
Generation modelling
Solar generation modelled for your site and several system-size scenarios.
Self-consumption and export
Clear assumptions on what you use on site and what you export.
The money
Indicative capex, savings, payback and IRR.
Network and battery
Network considerations, a battery scenario where relevant, and a written recommendation.
Choose the level of support you need
All prices exclude GST. Larger or more complex sites are quoted after discovery.
Commercial Project Discovery
A desktop look and a discovery meeting to confirm whether a full study is worth doing.
Commercial Solar Feasibility Study
Data-driven sizing, savings, payback and a written recommendation.
- Price confirmed once we see the data and site
Specification / Tender Support
Turn the recommendation into a scope installers can price like for like.
What a feasibility study is
An independent, indicative financial and technical assessment to support a decision. Capex figures are indicative until installers price a specification, and results depend on the quality of the data supplied. It is not detailed system design or an engineering assessment of the building.

What data do you need?
Ideally 12 months of half-hourly consumption data from your retailer or metering provider, plus recent bills. The Feasibility Data Checklist lists it all.
What if we don’t have half-hourly data?
We can work from monthly bills, but the results are less precise. We will be upfront about that.
Will you sell us a system?
No. SolarLink provides the study. If you go ahead, we can help you tender it so installers price the same scope.
Do you do studies outside Taranaki?
Yes. Most of the work is desktop-based and done nationwide.
