In Māngere, we completed a commercial solar installation that now delivers 36.9 kW of clean energy using 63 solar panels. This system was designed to maximise on site generation, reduce electricity costs, and deliver long term benefits for property tenants and owners alike.
With rising energy costs affecting operational budgets and tenant satisfaction, the property owner wanted a renewable energy solution that would:
- Lower ongoing electricity expenses for tenants
- Improve the property’s sustainability credentials
- Provide reliable generation throughout the year
We carefully planned and installed a 36.9 kW photovoltaic system on the commercial rooftop, using 63 Suntech solar panels optimised for New Zealand conditions. The layout was tailored to the roof’s orientation and shading profile to ensure consistent performance and maximise daily sunshine capture.
This system delivers a range of tangible benefits:
- Lower energy costs: By generating a significant portion of the property’s electricity on site, tenants benefit from reduced reliance on grid power – helping to ease operating expenses through lower utility bills.
- Environmental impact: Solar generation reduces the building’s carbon footprint, contributing to a greener, healthier Māngere community and aligning with broader sustainability goals.
- Future proofing the asset: Installing solar power enhances the property’s appeal and long term value by offering a modern, energy efficient feature that tenants appreciate.
Since commissioning, the 36.9 kW system consistently harvests sunlight during peak hours, delivering reliable clean energy day after day. Over its lifetime, the system is expected to significantly offset grid electricity use and contribute to ongoing cost savings for all occupants.
