Take control of your energy costs and future-proof your operations with reliable, high-performing solar solutions designed for agriculture, manufacturing, logistics, and more. Our systems help you stabilise operating expenses and gain independence from rising power prices.
Rising energy costs and unexpected power outages are hitting the bottom line for many Kiwi businesses.
Commercial power rates are climbing, and businesses are often locked into long-term agreements with sudden price hikes. Solar gives you a way to cut these unpredictable costs and take control of your energy future.
At the same time, the pressure to operate sustainably is growing — from both customers and regulators.
Our commercial solar solutions give you a clear path forward. You’ll reduce your energy bills month-to-month, improve your site’s resilience during outages or peak demand, and cut your carbon footprint without compromising performance.
It’s a smart investment that helps you meet sustainability goals while staying ahead of rising power prices.
From rural dairy farms to large-scale warehouses, your energy needs are different — and so is our approach.
We design every system specifically for your site and your operation.
Whether you need to power irrigation systems, keep cold storage running, or reduce peak charges in a processing plant, we deliver solar solutions built for NZ conditions.
Battery storage options give you backup when the grid fails, and our hybrid and off-grid systems keep you running no matter where you’re located.
It’s not a one-size-fits-all package — it’s a fit-for-purpose energy solution that works for your business.
For businesses looking to transition parts of their fleet to electric vehicles, solar provides a cost-effective way to power EV charging infrastructure without relying solely on the grid.
Whilst being sustainable — going solar is a proven way to lower ongoing costs and improve resilience.
By generating your own power, you’re reducing operating expenditure, making your energy costs predictable, and protecting your margins against rising rates.
It’s a practical step that delivers long-term savings.
From your first chat to final install and ongoing support, we manage every step with clarity and care. You get a system that works, backed by local experts.
4-Step Process:
1. Site Assessment & ROI Forecast
2. System Design & Proposal
3. Installation & Commissioning
4. We ensure everything is working as it should and walk you through how to get the most from it. If you have questions or need help down the track, we’re just a call away.
Every step is designed to give you confidence in your investment. We’ll provide a clear ROI forecast before you commit, so you’ll know exactly what your savings will look like.
Our clients range from farms and orchards to logistics operations and manufacturing sites across the South Island.
They all came to us with a common goal — lower energy bills, more control, and less downtime.
What they got was a reliable partner who understood their challenges and delivered systems that just work.
When you’re running critical operations, you need to know your installer has the experience and track record to back it up — and that’s what we bring to every job.
Going solar is more than a financial decision — it’s a statement of leadership.
Your customers and suppliers see that you’re committed to doing the right thing, and your team can take pride in working for a business that values sustainability.
Investing in solar sends a clear message: you’re building a better, more responsible future for both your business and the environment.
Our solar systems are designed to deliver real savings.
Most commercial customers see payback in five to seven years, with many achieving ROI even sooner.
Every quote comes with a clear, transparent financial projection — no guesswork, no jargon.
You’ll know exactly what your investment will return, and how quickly it’ll pay off.
Plus, our systems are built to last, fully compliant with NZ standards, backed by long-term warranties, and supported by a local team that’s with you for the long haul.
We know solar is a long-term investment — and that the numbers need to stack up.
That’s why every proposal we deliver includes a clear picture of your return on investment, so you can make an informed decision with no surprises
You’ll see what to expect in terms of savings and payback time, based on real data and your actual site usage.
And if you’re comparing options or just starting to explore, we’re here to give you straightforward advice — not a sales pitch.
We understand the pressures of cash flow, so our goal is to provide solutions that make financial sense from day one, helping you save now and in the long term.
Is solar reliable in rural or cloudy areas?
Absolutely. We use proven technology that performs well even in less-than-perfect conditions. With the right design and optional battery storage, you’ll stay powered when it counts.
What happens if something goes wrong?
We’re local, and we back what we install. If anything ever needs attention, you’ll get quick support and real answers — not a call centre runaround.
What’s the upfront cost?
Every site is different. What we can tell you is that your quote will include a clear financial breakdown and ROI forecast, so you’ll know exactly where you stand.
Will it disrupt our operations?
No. We plan installations carefully to avoid downtime and work around your schedule. We’re used to working in live environments like farms, processing plants and workshops — and we get the job done without getting in the way.
Can the system grow with my business?
Yes. We design systems with scalability in mind, so you can expand generation or add battery storage as your energy needs grow.
What kind of maintenance is required?
Very little. Solar systems are low-maintenance by design. We use high-quality components built for NZ conditions, and we’re always just a phonecall away for any support you need.
Do I still get power from the grid?
Yes, unless you choose to go fully off-grid. Most of our commercial systems are grid-tied or hybrid, giving you the best of both worlds — solar savings and backup power when you need it.
Will solar affect equipment like refrigeration, pumps, or milking sheds?
No. Our systems are designed to work seamlessly with your existing equipment. In fact, some clients install solar to stabilise energy supply for power-sensitive operations.
