The climate is heating up far faster than predicted and some scientists believe we have only four years left to avert serious environmental damage from climate change. Our aim, starting with this pilot here in Nelson is to revolutionise the energy market in New Zealand and make a big difference in the fight against climate change.

As the nations leading manufacturer of solar panels we have put more Kiwi made panels on homes and businesses than anyone else.

Artline 0209 web1 150x120 Join our SolarCity Revolution!We are in business for a purpose – to put solar systems on the roof of every building in New Zealand and to make a difference.

Over 40% of energy consumed by an average home is used to heat water. By installing proven solar hot water heating systems we can cut this energy use by around 75% and generate a $450 tax free cash saving for an average family every year.

We have just launched phase 2 of our Solar City Pilot here in Nelson are looking for homes and businesses from across Nelson who want to join the Solar City revolution and be part of the world’s first pilot of a smart software system designed to optimise the energy and cash savings that solar hot water systems deliver.

The pilot is part of the initiative designed to establish Nelson as New Zealand’s first Solar City. The pilot is being funded by Solar City,  EECA and the Tindall Foundation and involves a large team of Nelson based businesses which  include Applied Research Services Ltd, BlueberryIT software development, Pacific.Net and the Cawthron Institute.

Nelson City Council is considering hosting a large scale Solar City Nelson programme and will use the results of the pilot study will inform their final decision.

Go to our website  and follow the seven simple steps to find out if your home is a good candidate to be part of the pilot.  If your home is not suitable or you’re not quite ready to “step into the sun” you can also find out about other options for reducing your climate footprint, like getting a home energy tune-up.

It’s easy.  Solar City will help you assess your home’s potential for solar energy and give clear guidance on the costs and the cash savings you will be able to generate from your roof. Then we’ll guide you through system selection and installation and give you regular feedback on how your system is performing and optimise it to deliver the maximum benefits to your family and business.
