Commercial solar for New Zealand business
We design and install commercial solar across New Zealand for warehouses, factories, offices, retail premises and rural operations. Systems are sized to your actual load profile rather than your roof area, and most commercial installations deliver a stronger return than residential because business consumption happens during daylight hours.
Why commercial solar works better than residential
The economics are simply better, for one structural reason. A business uses most of its power during the day, which is exactly when solar generates. Where a household exports a large share of what it produces and receives a modest buy-back rate, a business consumes most of it directly and offsets the full retail rate.
That single difference is why commercial payback periods are typically shorter than residential ones, often materially so.

Premises we work with
The commercial case
Three arguments, in the order most businesses find them useful.
Operating cost
Electricity is a rising, uncontrollable line item. Solar converts part of it into a fixed, owned asset with a known cost.
Asset value
The system is owned plant on your balance sheet, not a service you rent.
Tenancy and appeal
For commercial landlords, a lower operating cost and demonstrable sustainability credentials both matter at lease renewal.
Depreciation and tax treatment depend on your circumstances and structure. Talk to your accountant.
