Sunergise

What Sunergise does

Sunergise is a New Zealand-headquartered commercial solar energy company that designs, installs, and owns solar photovoltaic (PV) systems with battery energy storage integration for commercial and industrial (C&I) customers across New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. The company's core technology stack centers on grid-connected rooftop and ground-mounted solar PV paired with battery energy storage systems (BESS), with cumulative installed capacity of more than 50 MW of clean PV power and 43 MWh of BESS across 200+ commercial sites. Notable technical executions include the 5.3 MW rooftop solar system at the Fisher & Paykel Healthcare campus in Auckland — the largest rooftop solar installation in New Zealand — as well as the Kapuni solar farm in South Taranaki and micro-grid systems on Motutapu Island and in the Pacific Islands.

The business operates on a predominantly subscription-style Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) model under the proprietary SunPlus™ program, under which Sunergise retains ownership of the installed assets, eliminates upfront capital cost for the customer, and charges per unit of electricity generated — creating a long-duration, recurring revenue stream. Customers can alternatively purchase systems outright, or contract for ongoing maintenance and monitoring. The Sunergise mobile app provides real-time visibility into solar production versus grid consumption. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting asset-owning C&I businesses, supplemented by government and institutional tenders (e.g., Parliament House Wellington, Pacific Island government projects). The customer base spans healthcare, food & beverage, hospitality, retail, financial services, and government. The company has raised capital from New Zealand Green Investment Finance and won the 2025 SEANZ Best Grid Connected Award, signaling institutional and industry validation in the New Zealand renewable energy market.

Its flagship commercial model is the SunPlus Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), under which the company funds and retains ownership of the system so customers can access solar electricity at negotiated rates with no upfront capital outlay. The offering is complemented by the Sunergise mobile application for real-time energy production and grid-usage monitoring.

Product overview
