HALSWELL FLEX — HOW IT WORKS

Twelve steps.
Five of them are yours.

From your first data share to $4,999 back. The rest sits with Aotea and Orion.

WITHOUT SOLAR

No Solar? Works from day one.

No panels required. The AE-1 trades the market on its own – filling at 3am, running your house at 6pm. The saving starts the night it’s installed.

WITH SOLAR

Got Solar? Supercharge what you have.

The AE-1 captures what your panels generate, stores what you don't use, and trades the grid when solar isn't enough. Three savings streams instead of one.

INSTALL

Want battery and solar?
We fit them together.

Adding panels at the same time makes sense while the subsidy is on. We size the array alongside the battery and install both with our Canterbury solar parter – one quote, one visit, one team.

HALSWELL HOMEOWNER QUESTIONS

How does the Orion and EECA subsidy work?

The pilots's fund manager issues a digital Visa card once Orion approves the install. You use it to pay the balance.

What’s the benefit of the pilot beyond the subsidy?

Your battery helps you use cheaper electricity and avoid expensive peak times, which can lower your power bill while easing pressure on the local network. Orion and EECA use anonymised usage data and participant feedback from the pilot to help build a more efficient, reliable electricity system.

Do I need solar?

No. The AE-1 buys low and sells high whether you have solar or not. If you do, it will charge from your free excess solar.

OUR VISION

Power doesn't have to be owned by a few big players. A battery in every home turns households from customers into participants. Cheaper bills, a stable grid, and a country that keeps more of what it makes. We're building that here.
