giving you power

Our Story

Established in 2006, Current Generation has been a big part of the development of the alternative energy generation industry in New Zealand.

While based in sunny Nelson and locally owned, we have undertaken installations from Bluff to the Far North

We pride ourselves on our technical knowledge, customer service and the quality of our design and installation, drawing on the experience of a having installed hundreds of systems with providing solutions for an unparalleled range of technical challenges and customer requirements.

Our solutions are customised to your site and needs such that they maximise the resources available, give you the best value for money (not necessarily the cheapest!), work first time and look great!

We have many years experience installing some of the best products available from manufacturers such as BYD, Victron, Fronius, Powerlink-Kubota and Phono Solar.

Always straight talking, we’ll give you the facts, tools and support to understand the solutions we think are appropriate for you, allowing you to make an informed decision about how you power your future!
