Powering New Zealand’s carbon-zero future
We develop and construct high quality community-scale solar farms across Aotearoa.
Lightyears solar farms connect to the local distribution network, to help meet the daytime energy needs of New Zealand communities.
Who we partner with
Businesses and corporate off-takers
We work with large organisations, businesses and corporations looking for reliable, sustainable power solutions.
The Lightyears team plan, design and construct utility-scale solar and infrastructure projects across New Zealand. Our projects enable businesses to offset their energy use, reduce energy costs and make better use of available land.
Investors
We work with individuals or institutional investors looking for solid, sustainable returns through investments in the renewable energy sector.
Landowners
We partner with landowners looking for better ways to utilise their properties. We deliver agrivoltaic solutions - allowing livestock to graze alongside solar panels.
Our projects enable landowners to maximise their land use, improve soil health, earn an additional source of income - and provide shade for their animals.
Featured project
