About us

Our mission is to match you with the best solar systems. That’s our promise. We will provide the best service and never compromise.

Choose the Experts

We are experts in the design and installation of solar systems, batteries and off-grid systems. Through transparent advice and education we match our customers with the ideal solar system. We focus on having the highest quality components, installation and customer service.

Our Ethos

We are passionate about doing well, by doing good. Our vision is to champion a carbon neutral New Zealand through Solar adoption.

By giving genuine and transparent advice we offer the best outcome for every customer in design, installation and aftercare. We’re always challenging ourselves to be at the forefront of the technology and in doing so can pass on the best knowledge to our customers and community.

We provide a reliable service today, and continue that relationship for the lifetime of your system. That’s at least 25 years!

This means we can help people benefit from solar today and in the future.

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 offer a local, expert and tailored service to both Wanaka and Queenstown residents.

Being based locally 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.

We're Local

Due to the increased demand for solar, we now have three branches across Otago to better serve our local communities. As a group we have been at the forefront of solar innovation for the past five years and we are excited to have expanded our quality approach across Wanaka, Dunedin and Christchurch.

Individually each company is run by true locals. So we’ve always got boots on the ground that are just around the corner whenever you need us. But together we support each other with knowledge, skills and buying power as we champion a carbon-neutral future for New Zealand.

Our Partners

Because power is just one part of an energy and environmentally-conscious home or business, we have work with an expert team of like-minded partners to provide an efficient service, from design and consent through to completion. Together, we share knowledge and resources, then work together to build a brighter future for you and your planet.

Have your own architect, engineer, builder or subcontractor? Not to worry. We’ll happily work in with your chosen provider, but the sooner you consider your energy options the better.
