Commercial Solar

Cut energy costs, boost your brand, and lock in long-term savings with a commercial solar solution tailored to your business.

The Hawke’s Bay Airport has made a major move towards the future of energy, by installing a large-scale solar system across their site. With 615x high-performance 640W panels, the system delivers powerful on-site generation designed for long-term impact. It is built to take full advantage of Hawke’s Bay’s strong sunshine hours. The system will generate a significant amount of clean energy reducing reliance on the grid while lowering operational costs for one of the region’s key transport hubs. By investing in solar, the airport is future-proofing its operations with a more sustainable, cost-effective solution cutting emissions while taking control of its energy usage.

Commercial Solar Solutions That Just Make Sense

Switching to commercial solar is a smart way to cut costs, boost efficiency, and showcase sustainability.

By going Solar with Ecoefficient, you can generate clean electricity, lower your bills, and future-proof your operations. We design and install customised solutions tailored to businesses of any size.

8 Reasons Why Your Business
Should Consider Going Solar

1. Cost Savings

Slash power bills immediately by generating clean energy onsite. Solar lowers overheads and protects you from ever-increasing electricity rates.

2. High ROI

Most systems pay for themselves in just 5 years, delivering reliable returns of 11–15% annually.

3. Flexible Financing

We offer 7–10 year finance plans, however most main banks offer low interest business lending for solar also.

4. Energy Control

Produce your own power and reduce reliance on the grid. Avoid outages, rising tariffs, and long-term supply risks.

5. Low Maintenance

With no moving parts, solar panels are nearly maintenance-free set and forget, with minimal ongoing costs.

6. Goal Alignment

Solar helps your business meet key financial, operational, and environmental KPIs supporting both performance and sustainability goals.

7. Asset Value

Solar adds long-term value to your property and increases appeal for buyers, tenants, and investors.

8. Reputation Boost

Show your customers, partners and community that your business is forward-thinking and committed to smarter energy solutions.

Simon Dunn, ATI

“The entire team at Ecoefficient Solutions were a pleasure to deal with right from the very start of the project through to the final handover. The project was carried out in a very professional manor with no stone was left unturned when it came to meeting our health and safety requirements.”

Russell Thorogood, Axis

“Power prices keep rising, so going solar was an easy choice. We saw savings immediately, and Ecoefficient made the whole process smooth. Highly recommended.”

Rhys Flack, Arataki Honey

“Ecoefficient provided a well-researched, cost-effective solar proposal and outstanding service. We’re very happy to recommend them.”

Installing Solar Helps Your Bottom Line and the Planet!

A commercial system with around 120 panels can save up to 26,000 kg of CO₂ each year

That’s the same as:

  • offsetting 109,000 km of driving
  • removing 5 petrol cars
  • powering 3 NZ homes annually.

As New Zealand moves toward carbon neutrality, going solar positions your business as part of the solution.

We recently had Ecoefficient Solutions NZ install our new solar system and couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. From the initial consultation and advice right through to the final installation, the service was excellent. Communication was clear throughout, the team were professional and easy to deal with, and the quality of the workmanship is outstanding. We were also really impressed with the quality of the products and equipment they use. The finished installation is extremely tidy and has been completed to a very high standard. It’s clear they take a lot of pride in their work. We’re very happy with the system and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ecoefficient Solutions NZ to anyone considering solar.

We recently had a solar power system installed by Ecoefficient Solar and couldn’t be happier. The whole process was handled efficiently, professionally and with great communication. As a novice, we’ve learned a lot about solar power and how to make the most of our investment. I would have no hesitation recommending and supporting this excellent local provider.

Exceptional service, great contact and communication. Felt like what we were wanting to achieve was listened to and did not try to oversell us what couldn't be done, or we didn't need. On install days the team worked really well together and had good processes in place. We would be very happy to recommend Shaun and the team at Ecoefficient. Looking forward to learning our new Solar world :) Thank to Shaun, Laura and the team.

Shaun and the team have been absolutely amazing to work with. No question was too stupid, no issue was too small. From start to finish extremely happy with the solar set up we have. Looking forward to those long summer days now knowing that we are producing our own electricity. Local to Hawke's Bay was a big plus for us as well. Thanks Shaun and the team. Highly recommend Eco Efficient. 10/10

We are very happy with our system design and install. Throughout the entire process communication was great and everything explained thoroughly. Special mention to the install team who endured possibly the 2 coldest days of the year on our roof! The ongoing support available post install with meter changes and app help was a key in choosing eco-efficient and has been excellent.

We are so glad we went with Ecoefficient, and it feels good to support a local business. rgds, Steve & Irene

Deciding on solar is a process that brings up numerous options, jargon and technicalities that can quickly become confusing. Shaun at Ecoefficient solutions guided us through the process of choosing a system that suited us, vs simply achieving a sale. Shaun’s knowledge, expertise and common-sense approach as well as his patience with our questions provided us confidence and the communication throughout the install process was excellent. The install team were friendly, tidy and treated our install as though it was their own house. Very happy with the results and the system and have great confidence in knowing the service continues past the system being completed.
