What we do

01. Feasibility and modelling

Zolr works with developers from first feasibility through to a live, energy-sharing neighbourhood.

03. Installation coordination

We coordinate installation with your builders as the homes go up, with all electrical work carried out and certified by registered electricians.

04. Monitoring and settlement platform

Once live, our platform tracks generation and use across the neighbourhood and handles energy sharing. Zolr charges platform and service fees rather than selling energy - we build and run the infrastructure; the value stays in the community.

We assess your site and model the system against standard grid-tied solar and off-grid alternatives, including lines company charges, retail rates, and connection costs - over the full life of the development so that you can see the real long-term comparison rather than just the upfront number.

02. System design and engineering

We design the solar, battery, and microgrid architecture into your subdivision at consent stage, engineered for New Zealand conditions and compliant with local network and building requirements.

NZ Regulations

Navigating local utility frameworks

Deploying neighborhood energy networks requires absolute alignment with New Zealand electricity regulations. ZOLR manages the entire legal and technical compliance pathway, establishing Multiple Trading Relationships (MTR) and securing local distributor connection agreements.

We interface directly with Transpower, local lines companies, and retail partners. By structuring compliant virtual sharing frameworks, we ensure your development avoids complex network licensing while delivering legally secure, lower-cost energy directly to residents.
