Our Story

Our story is one of attention to detail, challenging the status quo and never settling for less when there’s potential for so much more.

It all began when General Manager James Kettle noticed a need for solar in Dunedin, there were very few options for local solar installers, and with his passion for renewable energy began training in the industry. James already had a good relationship with Dean Dunning and Paul Hollingsworth of Wanaka and Queenstown Solar and together made the decision to start a sister company in Dunedin Solar

Over the years, solar technology has evolved, while different panels, batteries and installers have appeared. We’ve invested our resources in the research and development of quality products to empower energy partners with relevant, unbiased, up-to-date information and the best solar systems available.

Today, Dunedin Solar are experts in Grid Tied Solar Systems, Hybrid Solar Systems and Off Grid installations.

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.

James
James
Founder | Installer | Electrician
After working in the Dunedin construction industry for over five years, as a qualified electrician with a passion for renewable energy, James realised there was a need for a Dunedin based company that was able to offer quality solar installs. So jumped at the opportunity to start Dunedin Solar. When not installing solar James enjoys spending time with his wife, daughter and dog, either rock climbing, going to watch the Highlanders or waking up at silly times in the morning to watch Liverpool.

Solar Installer | Apprentice Electrician
Grey has just started his pathway into the electrical industry and is excited to be part of a team who are passionate about what they do and what they can offer. When Grey isn't installing solar, you can find him either at the gym or enjoying food. When he is installing solar he's probably still thinking about the gym and food.

We're Growing

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 ,Queenstown 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 sourced 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.
