At AA Solar, we’re not just passionate about providing quality solar solutions, such as house solar panels for sale, to families and businesses; we also support community groups that embody adventure, teamwork, and sustainable living. That’s why we were excited to get involved when the Motutara Waimauku Scout Group asked for help powering their NZ Scout Jamboree camp at Mystery Creek Hamilton.
Helping Equip the Scouts for Success
The Scout Group approached us for help with off-grid solar systems to keep them powered during the Jamboree. Our team was happy to provide two high-quality solar panels, a battery, and leads to ensure a reliable off-grid setup for the scouts.

A Scout's Review: Lasting Impact in the Field
We recently received this fantastic feedback from the Motutara Waimauku Scout Group:
“Our scout group approached AA Solar for help getting set up for the NZ Jamboree at Mystery Creek, Hamilton. They were super generous in offering two solar panels. When collecting, Coen offered to supply a battery and leads. This was more than we expected, but it completed the setup for us.
We cannot thank AA Solar enough for their support in preparing our scout group for the Jamboree. I highly recommend them for all your off-grid solar needs. They are great people and great products. " Motutara Waimauku Scout Group
Along with their kind words, the group sent us photos showing their setup of one of our off-grid solar systems in NZ and the continued adventures powered by the system, proof that quality gear and a little support can empower young Kiwis for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn about off-grid solar systems, and how we assist community groups and organisations
What is off grid solar system?
An off-grid solar system works independently of the main power grid. Unlike a grid-tied solar system in NZ, it stores energy in batteries, making it ideal for remote areas.
Can community groups request technical guidance before choosing an off-grid solar system?
AA Solar provides free consultation and technical guidance for community groups, clubs, and organisations. In fact, our team can help assess expected energy loads, recommend compatible panels and batteries, and offer advice on safe installation and system maintenance.
How long do AA Solar’s off-grid systems typically last in field conditions?
Our off-grid systems are designed for durability and can perform for many years with basic maintenance. Solar panels often last 20–25 years, while batteries vary depending on their type
