Solar Hamilton is a residential solar service of 2E Electrical.
2E Electrical is an established Hamilton electrical contractor providing electrical and solar work across Hamilton and the wider Waikato.

Solar Hamilton brings that experience specifically to Hamilton homeowners looking at solar panels, batteries and home energy systems.
The 2E Difference
We're Electricians, Not Just Solar Salespeople
Solar becomes part of your home's electrical system.
That's why we think the electrical side of the installation matters just as much as the panels on the roof.
2E Electrical can handle the complete electrical scope around a residential solar project.
If the switchboard needs work, we can do it. If you're planning an EV charger, we can consider it. If you want a battery now or later, we can include that in the system design.
The homeowner shouldn't need to coordinate several different contractors just to get the electrical side of the project sorted.
What we handle on a solar project:
- Solar panel systems
- Inverters
- Battery storage
- Switchboard upgrades
- Electrical protection
- Mains and supply considerations
- EV chargers
- Associated electrical work
- Testing and certification
- Monitoring setup
- Local support
300+ Rural Installations
Residential Solar Backed by Broader Electrical Experience
Our solar experience covers residential homes, rural properties and local commercial installations.
For Solar Hamilton, the focus is simple: applying that experience to well-designed residential solar systems for Hamilton homeowners.
Residential Solar
Home Solar
Home solar systems designed around household electricity use, roof space, hot water, heating, batteries and future EV charging.
Rural Solar
300+ Rural Installations
More than 300 rural solar installations completed, including dairy and agricultural sites with substantial electrical loads.
Local Commercial Solar
Hamilton Commercial Experience
2E Electrical also designs and installs solar for local commercial and community properties, including Pukete Neighbourhood House in Hamilton.
Broader Electrical Experience, Applied to Your Home
Our experience across residential, rural and commercial solar helps us look beyond simply fitting panels to a roof.
The aim is still simple: design a solar system that suits the home and install it properly.
We consider:
- How the home uses electricity
- Roof orientation and shading
- Switchboard condition
- Existing electrical supply
- Inverter location
- Solar monitoring
- Battery compatibility
- EV charging
- Future electrical loads
- Testing and certification
Real 2E Project
18 kW Residential Solar in Queenwood
Our Queenwood case study is a good example of the way we approach residential solar.
The property sits amongst mature trees and has multiple roof levels and orientations.
Rather than applying a standard panel package, the system was designed around the usable roof areas.
The completed installation includes:
10 kW
North + flat roof
8 kW
South-facing roof
From January to September 2026, the complete system generated approximately:
10.8 MWh
Generated January to September 2026, from the complete system
3.08 MWh
More than this from the south-facing array alone
Local Support
Based in Hamilton, Not a National Solar Call Centre
Solar Hamilton isn't a separate national solar sales company.
It's a specialist residential solar website operated by 2E Electrical.
The same electrical contractor behind the installation is here locally for the electrical work and ongoing support.
We work across Hamilton and surrounding areas.
For farm, rural and larger commercial solar projects, Solar Waikato is the relevant 2E Electrical solar website.
One Electrical Contractor for the Bigger Picture
Solar rarely exists in isolation.
Homes are increasingly adding electrical loads and equipment such as:
Because 2E Electrical works across these electrical systems, we can consider how they fit together rather than looking at the solar installation in isolation.
- EV chargers
- Heat pumps
- Electric hot water
- Battery storage
- Ventilation
- Smart controls
- Switchboard upgrades
Our Approach
No Standard Package Before We've Looked at the Home
We don't start by deciding that every home needs a particular number of panels or a battery. We start with the property.
01
Understand the Home
We look at electricity use, daytime loads, roof, hot water, heating, EV charging and future plans.
02
Design the System
We work out an appropriate system size, panel layout, inverter and battery options if required.
03
Install and Certify
Our electricians install, test and electrically certify the work.
04
Support
We help get monitoring set up and remain available locally after installation.
Why a Separate Solar Hamilton Website?
2E Electrical works across many different types of electrical work and solar projects.
Solar Hamilton exists for one clear reason:
to give Hamilton homeowners a dedicated place to research residential solar and batteries.
This website focuses specifically on:
- Home solar
- Solar batteries
- Solar system sizing
- Solar installation costs
- Solar and EV charging
- Existing solar upgrades
- Real Hamilton residential projects
For rural, farm and larger commercial solar projects, Solar Waikato is the more relevant 2E Electrical solar website.
For general electrical work, 2EElectrical.co.nz remains the main electrical website.
