Solar panels in Taranaki

Taranaki is our second priority region after the Waikato. High sunshine hours, dense dairying and a strong energy industry make it a natural fit for farm, commercial and home solar.

Sunshine, dairy and big sheds

New Plymouth regularly ranks among New Zealand’s sunniest cities, and the ring plain around the mountain is some of the most intensive dairy land in the country. That combination is why Taranaki is our second priority region: dairy sheds from Waitara to Hāwera have the roof space and the daytime load that solar is built for.

We design shed roof and ground-mount systems for dairy and other farms across the region, model batteries against the evening milking, and handle the Powerco connection application and any consent exemption.

New Plymouth, Stratford and Hāwera

Taranaki’s towns hold the engineering workshops, retail roofs, schools and retirement villages that suit commercial solar, and New Plymouth’s energy-industry workforce tends to ask good technical questions. We answer them with a feasibility report from your interval data rather than a brochure.

Homes from Bell Block to Pātea

For Taranaki homes we take on hybrid, battery-ready systems from 8 to 10 kW upwards, designed from your bill and installed by SEANZ-authorised, EWRB-registered contractors in our network.
