Ina oti te tāuta, ka taea e koe te tīmata ki te whakamahi i te hiko rā! Kei konei mātou hei āwhina i a koe ki te rapu i ngā mea katoa e hiahia ana koe ki te mōhio mō te utu me te tāutanga.

E hia te utu mō ngā panera rā? E ai ki a Money Saving Expert:

• Ko te utu mō tētahi pūnaha panera rā (tae atu ki te tāutanga) he tata ki te £6,500.
• Mā te pūnaha 4.2kWp ka taea e koe te penapena i waenga i te £165 me te £405 i te tau.
• Ka whakaitihia ō pire hiko mā te whakamahi i ngā panera rā.

He aha tātou me whakamahi ai i te pūngao o te rā?

Pūngao rāKei te piki haere te rongonui i te UK, ā, kua piki haere te utu me te ngāwari ake te whakaputa moni i tō mua.

Kei te rapu te hunga pēnei i a koe i ngā huarahi hei whakamahi atamai i te pūngao mā te whakamahi i ngā pūtake pūngao hou hei tiaki i te taiao.

Ngā painga o te pūngao o te rā

1. Pūngao Whakahou

Ko te pūngao rā tētahi o ngā puna pūngao whakahou tino whai hua nā te nui o te rā e whiwhi ana te ao. Mā ngā hangarau e ahu whakamua tonu ana ka haere tonu te whakamahi i tēnei puna i roto i ngā huarahi pai ake, ngāwari ake, me te iti ake te utu, ka waiho te rā hei puna pūngao whakahou tino tere te tipu.

2. Horoi

He iti noa iho te tapuwae waro o ngā panera PV rā (photovoltaic), ā, kei te mimiti haere tonu i te mea kei te hangarua haeretia ngā rauemi e whakamahia ana i roto.

3. Penapena moni

Tērā pea ka tino heke ō pire hiko nā te mea kei te whakaputa me te whakamahi koe i te hiko, ā, kāore i te hoko mai i tō kaiwhakarato.

4. Kāore he whakaaetanga e hiahiatia ana

I te mea e kiia ana ngā panera rā he 'whakawhanaketanga whakaaetia', kāore koe e hiahia ki tētahi whakaaetanga hei tāuta i a rātou ki tō tuanui. He iti noa ngā herenga me maumahara koe i mua i te tāutanga.

5. He iti te tiaki

Kia tāutahia, he iti noa te tiaki e hiahiatia ana mō ngā panera rā. Ko te tikanga ka tāutahia ki tētahi koki e taea ai e te ua te rere noa, ka horoia atu te paru me te puehu. Mena ka āraia e te paru, ka roa pea ngā panera rā mō te neke atu i te 25 tau, ā, he iti noa te hekenga o te whai huatanga.

6. Te Mana Motuhake

Mā te haumi ki tētahi pūnaha hiko o te rā ka iti ake tō whakawhirinaki ki te National Grid mō tō hiko. Hei kaihanga hiko, ka taea e koe te whiwhi hiko iti ake te utu puta noa i te rā. Ā, ki te haumi koe ki te rokiroki pākahiko, ka taea e koe te whakamahi tonu i te hiko o te rā i muri i te tōnga o te rā.

7. Whai hua

Ka whai wāhi atu koe ki tētahi huarahi whai hua ake mō te whakaputa hiko. Ko te tuku hiko mai i ngā tipu hiko puta noa i ngā whatunga whānui ki tō kāinga ka hua ake te ngaronga hiko. Ina ahu tika mai tō hiko i tō tuanui, ka whakaitihia te ngaronga, nō reira ka iti ake te maumauria o te hiko.

8. Whakamahia tō ake pūngao i hangaia i muri i te pō

Hokohoko ki tētahi wāhi rokiroki pākahiko pūngao rā mō te kāinga, ā, ka taea e koe te whakamahi i tōu ake hiko i te ao, i te pō.

9. Uara o te rawa

He pai te haumitanga o ngā panera rā mō tō whare. Nā ngā au o te mākete hiko o nāianei, ka nui ake te utu o tētahi whare kei roto ngā panera rā (mēnā ka hokohoko tikahia me te arotahi ki te penapena wahie me te utu taripa) i tētahi kāore he panera rā.
