Overview

Solar power is a renewable energy source harnessed from sunlight and converted into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells or concentrated solar power (CSP) systems. This sustainable energy solution has gained traction worldwide due to its environmental benefits and long-term cost savings.

In New Zealand, solar power adoption has been steadily increasing as the country aims to reduce its carbon footprint and transition to clean energy sources. The nation’s abundant sunlight hours make it an ideal location for residential, commercial, and industrial solar energy systems. Government incentives and a growing emphasis on sustainability have further driven demand for solar power solutions in New Zealand.
