The Waimamaku Bar and Grill is setting a new benchmark in rural New Zealand by installing a comprehensive off-grid solar system to deliver reliable, sustainable power for commercial operations. As part of the larger "Resilient Waimamaku" initiative, this project enhances energy independence by integrating 51kW solar generation capacity with a substantial 302kWh battery backup.
The system includes 116 high-efficiency 435W solar panels divided between rooftop and ground-mounted arrays, supported by three state-of-the-art Deye Hybrid Inverters. Stage one encompasses 38 panels installed on the Bar and Grill roof, while 78 more occupy a dedicated 170-square-metre ground area.
This hybrid setup ensures seamless power supply even during extended periods without sunlight, capable of sustaining the venue’s daily energy needs for up to four days without any solar generation.
This cutting-edge installation showcases AA Solar’s expertise in designing bespoke off-grid solar systems tailored for commercial environments. The resilient energy solution not only removes reliance on the grid but also establishes the Bar and Grill as a pioneer in sustainable community energy infrastructure, demonstrating the feasibility and benefits of commercial solar systems in remote New Zealand communities.
