Hawke’s Bay gets over 2,200 hours of sunshine a year, among the best in New Zealand. Solar here isn’t a lifestyle statement, it’s simply good economics. Best Forsyth Electrical designs and installs grid-tied and hybrid solar systems for homes, businesses, and rural properties, with every part of the job done by qualified electricians.
Electricians first, solar installers second
A solar system is a serious electrical installation: DC strings, inverters, switchboard integration, and export metering all have to be done correctly and certified. That’s where being Master Electricians matters. We don’t subcontract the electrical work or squeeze your switchboard to make a sale. If your board needs upgrading to take solar safely, we’ll tell you and price it upfront.
We design each system around your actual consumption, roof, and budget: panels and inverter sized sensibly, battery storage where it genuinely pays, and monitoring so you can see what the system is doing from your phone.
Homes, farms, and businesses
Beyond residential rooftops, we install commercial solar for businesses wanting to cut daytime energy costs, and rural systems for sheds, pumps, and off-grid applications. Combined with our switchboard manufacturing capability, we can deliver fully integrated solutions, including solar-ready boards for new builds and EV charger integration.
Straight answers on payback
We’ll give you a free assessment with realistic generation figures and payback periods based on your actual power bills. If solar doesn’t stack up for your situation, we’ll say so.
