At NCE Solar, we help businesses across New Zealand lower their operating costs and boost sustainability with high-performance commercial solar systems. Whether you're a small business, farm, warehouse, school, or large-scale operation — going solar is one of the most cost-effective investments you can make.
Energy costs are rising, and customers are expecting more from the brands they support. Commercial solar isn’t just about cutting your power bill — it’s a smart, long-term move toward energy independence, sustainability, and stronger business performance. Here’s how your business benefits:
Solar power lets you generate free electricity for decades — helping you reduce monthly power bills and protect your business from future price hikes.
Most commercial solar systems pay for themselves in 4–6 years. With low maintenance and long warranties, you’ll enjoy decades of free energy.
Add battery storage to protect your operations during power outages or peak demand hours. Stay in control — even when the grid isn’t.
Going solar helps you meet environmental goals and show customers and stakeholders you're committed to reducing emissions and operating responsibly.
If your system generates more than you use, you can sell the surplus back to the grid, turning unused roof space into a revenue stream.
Solar power adds long-term value, energy certainty, and brand credibility. It’s a smart move for businesses that want to lead, not follow.
We know that every business is different. That’s why we don’t offer “one-size-fits-all” packages. Our in-house engineering team will assess your site, energy usage, and goals to design a custom solar solution that delivers real results.

We provide solar solutions for a wide range of sectors across Aotearoa:
We know that upfront cost is one of the biggest hurdles for businesses considering solar. That’s why NCE Solar partners with trusted financial providers to offer flexible, low-risk funding options — so you can start saving without the heavy capital outlay.
Here’s how you can go solar without the upfront burden:
Get a commercial solar system installed with no capital investment. Spread the cost over manageable monthly payments while enjoying immediate savings on your power bills.
Access low-interest green loans from banks and lenders who support energy-efficient upgrades. These loans are designed to align with environmental and financial goals.
With a PPA, a third party owns and maintains the solar system on your site — and you simply pay for the power you use at a lower, fixed rate than the grid. Ideal for businesses wanting to reduce risk and lock in energy savings.
Some local councils and organisations offer funding or co-investment opportunities for energy upgrades. We’ll help you explore what's available in your region.
In many cases, solar installations can be classified as capital improvements and may qualify for tax deductions or depreciation. We recommend speaking with your accountant to confirm what applies to your business.
We’ll walk you through your options and help structure a solution that matches your cash flow, goals, and energy needs — so you can get the full benefit of solar, sooner. 📞 Talk to us today for a free finance consultation.
Costs vary depending on system size and complexity, but most commercial solar installations in New Zealand range from $15,000 to $250,000+. We tailor each system to match your site, energy usage, and budget — and we offer finance options to make it more accessible.
Most businesses see payback in 4 to 6 years, depending on usage patterns, system size, and available buy-back rates. After that, you’re generating clean, free power for decades — increasing your long-term profitability.
No — we schedule installation to minimise disruption. Most commercial solar installs are completed within a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on system size. We coordinate everything to avoid interrupting your operations.
Yes. Many NZ electricity retailers offer buy-back rates for surplus energy exported to the grid. We can help you choose the right retailer to maximise your savings.
We design systems with scalability in mind. As your business expands, we can add more panels, batteries, or smart energy tools to support your growth without major redesigns.
Not necessarily. Many businesses start with grid-tied solar systems and add batteries later for backup or load-shifting. If you need energy security or want to optimise peak-hour usage, a battery can offer added value.
