Hi Murray,
Are you any good playing around with computer models? If so then go to www.nrel.gov/homer and download the computer programme called HOMER. It is a renewable energy system design and optimisation package whereby you can model such things to check 'sensibility'. You may have to play around a bit and get imaginative in the settings to model your particular situation but at this stage given your description, cannot see much difficulty. Where abouts in New Zealand are you?
