Canterbury's Most Trusted Solar Experts
Cut your power bill from $3,400 to $1,200 a year. Backed by 18 years of renewable energy experience, 600+ installations, and a team that actually picks up the phone.
Most customers see a 7–10 year payback — then essentially free electricity for decades.
Solar Done Right — From Day One
We're not a sales team with subcontractors. Every job is personally handled by Shane Woods — one of the most experienced solar installers in Canterbury.
Designed for Your Property
Every system is sized to your actual energy usage — not a standard package off a shelf. You get the right panels, the right inverter, and a system that genuinely performs.
Off-Grid Specialists
Shane is one of a handful of installers in Canterbury with genuine off-grid expertise. From Victron to Selectronic — he's worked across every major platform available in NZ.
No Hard Sell — Ever
If solar doesn't stack up for your situation, we'll tell you. Our reputation is built on honest advice and long-term relationships, not commissions.
Support After Installation
Most installers disappear once the job is done. Our customers know they can call Shane months — or years — later and he'll pick up.
Certified & Qualified
Shane holds an NZ Electrical Inspector qualification with Solar Endorsement. Green Energy Services is SEANZ accredited — the mark of a certified professional installer.
Brand-Independent Advice
We're not tied to one brand or one solution. With experience across Fronius, SMA, Sonnen, Victron and more — we recommend what's right for you — full stop.
A special thanks to Shane Woods, whose expertise made all the difference. He fine-tuned the system to maximise production and clearly knows everything there is to know about solar.
What We Install & Support
From a starter grid-tied system to a full off-grid setup — we design, install, and support it all.
Grid-Tied Solar
Reduce your power bill significantly with a system designed for your home's actual usage. Includes Tier 1 panels, quality inverter, full installation and compliance.
Battery Storage
Add battery storage to your existing system or include it from day one. Store your solar energy and use it when you need it most — in the evening and on cloudy days.
Off-Grid Systems
True energy independence, done properly. Shane specialises in off-grid design across all major platforms — for lifestyle blocks, rural properties, and remote homes.
Shane is brilliant. He knows solar like no-one else. We are off-grid and discovered the hard way that experts in this field are few and far between. He has become a favourite around our whole community.
How Much Could You Actually Save?
The average Canterbury household spends around $3,400 a year on electricity. Our customers typically reduce that to around $1,200 — a saving of over $2,200 every year.
With electricity prices continuing to rise, every year the numbers improve in your favour. Most customers see a full payback in 7–10 years — after that, it's essentially free electricity for the life of the system.
Green energy loans available through
Shane has been an absolute lifesaver. We had a so-called reputable installer attempt to install our system — after Shane came and literally re-did it for us, we've now had over a full year of trouble-free, reliable service.
Experience You Won't Find Anywhere Else in Canterbury
Shane trained in mechanical engineering in the UK before moving to New Zealand over 30 years ago. He's been in the electrical industry since 2000 — and exclusively in renewable energy for the last 18 years.
He was one of the first Fronius Service Partners in New Zealand and has hands-on experience with every major off-grid platform available in the country. His team completes around 200 installations a year — and their reputation means they're regularly called in to fix what other installers got wrong.
