Supporting 15,000 SolarZero Subscribers

Our story

On the 26th of November 2024 SolarZero Limited (in Liquidation), ceased operation. 
However, the 15,000 customers who had the foresight to become SolarZero subscribers continue to enjoy all the benefits the solar subscription offered.
Because those benefits are protected by law and sit outside liquidation, with a creditable party of funders and managed by a party not previously associated with SolarZero.
A knowledgeable team with SolarZero experience is assisting the manager.

The company currently trading as 'solarZero' is owned by Public Trust as trustee for trusts.  (Please note that the entities do not include any of the SolarZero companies in liquidation).

Shrinking your home’s carbon footprint, every time you flick a switch

Our solar power system isn’t just producing renewable energy, it’s reducing the amount of carbon used to power your home. Each system alone is estimated to prevent 15 tonnes of carbon over its 20-year contract. Over that same period solarZero customers are preventing 12,107 tonnes of carbon from entering the atmosphere. That’s the equivalent of planting 112,592 trees — no small feat for a Kiwi home.

Partnering with other leaders

We partner with businesses who are also committed to making a difference. As part of our Toitū climate positive certification, our whole supply chain is measured, and we also work with our partners from our supply chain to improve their emissions, too. 

One of our main business partners is Ecotricity, Aotearoa’s greenest energy retailer and our primary partner retailer. Also Toitū climate positive certified, they provide solarZero customers with renewable energy and work within their own stringent sustainability policies.
