Sunergise Shines Bright at SEANZ Awards 2024

Sunergise Shines Bright at SEANZ Awards 2024!

We’re thrilled to announce that Sunergise, your 100% Kiwi-owned solar power company, has won TWO prestigious awards at the Sustainable Energy Association of New Zealand (SEANZ) Awards 2024!

Best Grid-Connected PV System 

Our Mānawa Bay project, New Zealand’s largest rooftop solar power system, received the Re/volve Energy Best Grid-Connected PV System Award.

Mānawa Bay, a 5 Green Star rated building, involved the installation of over 35 km of electrical cable and 4,600 solar panels. It showcases our commitment to large-scale electrification and local expertise. The system was meticulously designed to maintain the roof warranty, ensuring sufficient clearance beneath the panels for cleaning and providing strategic access to inverters and cable trays for future servicing and maintenance.

Ethical considerations were integral to the project. By partnering with ethical provider Maxeon and rigorously assessing the supply chain, the team ensured that suppliers adhered to strict standards regarding human rights and labour practices.

Best Large Business

We’re also honoured to receive the SMA Best Large Business Award, recognising our excellence in the renewable energy sector. The judges commented, “Sunergise’s unique PPA offering sets them apart” and “Their commitment to excellence, innovation, and sustainable solutions makes Sunergise worthy of recognition.” “Their engineering team has tackled some challenging installations and come up with elegant solutions” and “They have an obvious imperative to invest in quality assets, producing systems that will last.”

Following the awards, Our COO, Rogier Simons, reflects: “I’m super proud of the team for winning both awards. This achievement truly reflects what Sunergise is capable of and highlights the exciting future ahead as we continue to build lasting renewable assets for our customers.”

Sunergise Managing Director Paul Makumbe adds: “We are incredibly honoured to receive these awards. This recognition reflects the hard work, dedication, and innovation of our entire team at Sunergise. We’re committed to driving sustainable energy solutions for a greener, more resilient future.”

To our team, partners, customers, and supporters: Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, we’re powering a brighter future for New Zealand!
