Installing solar power in seaside locations presents unique challenges due to harsh environmental conditions such as strong winds, salty air and corrosion risks. At AA Solar, we specialise in delivering robust solar panel installations that withstand these elements while maximising energy production.
Project Overview
Located on the Whangaparāoa Peninsula, this residential solar panel installation faced the typical seaside challenges: high winds and exposure to salt-laden air that can degrade standard equipment over time. The client had purchased their own solar panels and engaged AA Solar for professional installation.
Tailored Solution: Clenergy Commercial Tilt Frames
We specified and installed Clenergy Commercial Tilt Frames and rails to overcome the environmental challenges, engineered for commercial-grade durability and optimal solar capture. These tilt frames are designed to:
- Maximise solar panel orientation for increased energy harvest throughout the day.
- Withstand strong coastal winds with reinforced structural integrity.
- Resist corrosion from salt and moisture, ensuring long-term system reliability.
- Simplify solar panel installation and maintenance with modular components.
Results and Benefits
- Enhanced energy generation due to optimal tilt angle and sun exposure.
- Long-lasting performance suited for corrosive coastal environments.
- Peace of mind with certified electrical installation and safety compliance.
- A solar system prepared for the demands of seaside living without compromising efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
This section addresses common questions that homeowners frequently have when planning solar panel installation in coastal or residential areas.
Are Clenergy Commercial Tilt Frames compatible with most residential roof types?
They are designed to work with common roof types such as corrugated metal, trapezoidal roofing, and some membrane surfaces.
What maintenance does a coastal solar system require compared to a standard installation?
Coastal solar systems require regular cleaning at least once a year, ideally twice, due to the accumulation of salt spray, bird droppings, and dirt that build up more rapidly near the ocean. Using fresh water and a soft brush helps prevent salt and grime buildup that can reduce panel efficiency.
It's essential to monitor your system’s performance and check for any inverter warnings. Professional inspections every 1-2 years ensure all components remain safe and functioning optimally. For hard-to-reach panels, hiring a professional cleaner is recommended to avoid safety risks. Regular maintenance maximises efficiency and extends system lifespan in coastal environments.
How to install solar panels on roof?
There are several key steps to install one. First, accredited solar installers assess the roof’s structure, material, and orientation. Next, they design a layout that optimises sunlight exposure and complies with electrical standards. Mounting hardware is then secured to the roof, followed by the installation of the panels, wiring, inverter, and safety components.
