Building energy into New Zealand's neighbourhoods

Zolr was founded on a simple observation: the way we connect new homes to power is expensive, wasteful, and stuck. There's a better way, and it starts at the design stage.

The founder

Zolr was founded by Allen Antony, a civil engineer with a background in land development and subdivision delivery. Working across development projects, the same pattern kept repeating - grid connection costs climbing, energy infrastructure treated as an afterthought, and new homeowners left with no good options for solar once they'd moved in.

Zolr exists to change that, to treat shared solar and battery infrastructure as something you design into a subdivision from the start, the same way you design in roads and services.

Where the thinking comes from

Our modelling draws on real New Zealand data - measured household load profiles, local solar data, and long-running operational data from established New Zealand solar and battery sites. Grounding the model in real load and generation behaviour, rather than generic assumptions, is what makes the feasibility numbers trustworthy.
