Our Story

The Queenstown Solar story is born from the notion that one and one, make three.

With the combination of consumer demand for cheaper electricity and greater energy security, the demand for solar has been steadily increasing. Partners Dean Dunning and Paul Hollingsworth wanted to use their combined experience in the solar industry to be able to oer a local, expert, and tailored service to both Wanaka and Queenstown residents.

Paul cut his teeth in the UK’s solar industry, specialising in large scale projects. He and the team are looking forward to helping out Queenstowners with going solar. Based in Arthurs Point means we’re just around the corner, whenever you need us.

Our Team

We’ve harnessed a team of expert, passionate solar installation staff that genuinely care about quality products, our planet and providing you with the most efficient system possible. Think of us as your solar power perfectionists, armed with unsurpassed attention to detail and a friendly smile to boot.
