Solar Array Installation - Taranaki
In early 2026, we are working with Tū Mai Rā Energy to install a solar array at our partner kura (school), Te Pi'ipi'inga Kākano Mai I Rangiātea, in Taranaki. Our largest project to-date, this valuable asset is projected to save the kura $16,000 and 8.2 tonnes of CO2 per year.
The Path to Energy Sovereignty
80 solar panels are being installed in the summer of 2026 with a total output of nearly 50kW and a 61.4kWh battery setup, allowing additional energy to be sold back into the grid on weekends and holidays.
We are excited to leverage this solar array as a learning tool that sits alongside our Solar Suitcase Programme, community energy literacy workshops, and career pathways and workforce development mahi (work) in Taranaki.
