Solar Hub NZ is now publicly listed on Catalist. This step opens a new chapter for clean energy in New Zealand. One where Kiwis can invest in Kiwi rooftop infrastructure, helping local companies cut power costs and emissions while keeping long-term energy value here at home.
Why Catalist? A Market Built for Local Growth
Catalist is designed for New Zealand businesses with big ambitions. Listing here gives us:
A transparent, well-governed platform
Access to investors who want to back real, productive clean-energy infrastructure
The ability to scale our rooftop PPA fund faster, using local capital
Regular reporting that builds trust with customers and investors alike
For our customers, this means more stability, more capacity, and the confidence that Solar Hub is here for the long haul.
Why PPAs Matter for New Zealand
At the centre of our strategy is the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) — the simplest way for businesses, schools, councils, and organisations to switch to solar with no upfront cost.
Under a PPA, Solar Hub designs, funds, owns, and maintains the solar system on your site. You simply pay for the energy generated at a rate typically 20–30% below grid prices, locked in for 15–25 years.
Benefits for customers
Lower OPEX from day one
Zero capital expenditure
No operational burden — we handle engineering, installation, monitoring, insurance, and maintenance
Immediate emissions reductions with transparent reporting
PPAs remove the financial barrier to solar, allowing Kiwi businesses to decarbonise faster and more affordably.
Keeping Solar Investment Local
Until now, most commercial PPA assets in NZ have been funded by offshore capital. That means the long-term financial return—decades of contracted energy revenue—typically leaves the country.
Our Catalist listing changes that.
We’re building a Kiwi-owned PPA fund so that:
Kiwis can invest in Kiwi rooftops
Long-term solar returns stay in Aotearoa
More businesses gain access to clean, stable, affordable energy
This model strengthens NZ’s energy security, improves price resilience, and allows communities to directly benefit from the clean energy transition.
Where We Stand Today — Our Current NZ Impact
From our Financial & Impact reporting (see IM):
5MW+ installed across NZ
788 tonnes of CO₂ avoided every year
(Equivalent to taking 170+ cars off the road annually)
120% year-on-year revenue growth
8,600+ qualified leads generated in the past 12 months
The strongest commercial PPA pipeline we’ve ever had
How a Solar Hub PPA Works (3 Steps)
1. We design and install
A high-performance solar system tailored to your load profile — with zero upfront cost.
2. You buy the solar energy
At an agreed PPA tariff, typically below retail grid rates, billed monthly.
3. We operate and maintain
We handle monitoring, performance optimisation, warranties, insurance, and long-term care.
The result: predictable savings for customers and long-term, asset-backed revenue for investors.
What Businesses Can Expect
Immediate cost savings with lower, predictable tariffs
No operational headaches — we manage everything
Long-term certainty (15–25 year agreements)
Real-time reporting on production, savings, and emissions
For CFOs, operations leaders, and facilities managers: it’s the cleanest and simplest path to decarbonisation without tying up capital.
For Investors: Building a Distributed Solar Utility for NZ
Every PPA we sign becomes a long-term cashflow-generating solar asset — producing and selling energy for 15–25 years.
As our portfolio grows, Solar Hub is effectively creating a decentralised, rooftop-based solar utility:
Contracted, stable cashflows
Asset-backed enterprise value
VPP-ready infrastructure for NZ’s future energy market
A diversified network of installations across industries and regions
Shares are $1 each, with no minimum investment, meaning everyday New Zealanders can own part of the country’s clean-energy infrastructure.
