Is Solar a Smart Investment for You?

Feeling the pressure of rising power costs? You are not alone.

As electricity and gas prices continue to climb, many Kiwis—especially those approaching or in retirement—are asking whether investing in solar is the right move. For those living on a fixed income, rising utility bills can feel like a cost you can’t control. That uncertainty is driving more and more people to explore whether generating their own power could offer financial stability—and peace of mind.

But does it stack up as an investment? Is it the best use of your hard-earned savings? Or could those funds be better placed elsewhere?

What We will Cover

In this 30-minute webinar, Lifetime financial adviser Sam Walter and Astech solar specialist Jarrod McCallum come together to unpack the key considerations around solar—financial, practical, and personal.
