Independent solar and battery advice.
Done right.

Revolve Energy is New Zealand's independent solar and battery specialist.
We help businesses understand what’s possible for their site and situation, and provide recommendations on the right products and approach for their project.

We don't sell solar equipment or install it, but we do make sure you get it right.

/ Why It Matters

Solar and battery projects are complex. Choosing the right partner can make all the difference.

Most businesses approach solar without a clear view of system sizing, battery opportunities, or full lifecycle costs. With multiple vendors involved and no single party accountable for the whole picture, it can be difficult to find a solution that delivers. Revolve's approach enables clarity from the start - a single, end-to-end process from strategy and design through long-term operations. A system that performs from day one.

Independent advice

Revolve isn’t affiliated with solar equipment providers or installers. Our recommendations aren’t shaped by a product catalogue or referral arrangement. We’re purely focused on providing impartial advice tailored to your project. We consider the context of your situation and your objectives, and develop a tailored solution.

One partner, start to finish

The same team stays involved from early strategy and feasibility through to ongoing operations. Nothing is lost between phases and there's no conflicting advice. You have a single point of accountability, focused on ensuring the system delivers as intended.

Managed for long-term returns.

Your system will be built to perform - and managed to keep performing. We're not just focused on installation, but on delivering against the original business case over the long term. We achieve this through design, verification, and ongoing monitoring and optimisation.

/ What's possible

What's possible with solar and batteries

Solar and battery can help your business cut energy costs, generate new income and enable your business to use existing assets to your advantage. Here's what's possible.

Reduce energy bills

Generate your own power and cut what you pay the grid. Most commercial systems pay for themselves in 7-10 years.

Reduce lines charges

Invest in battery storage that cuts peak demand and lines charges. For many businesses, the savings exceed what solar alone delivers.

Community energy

Share solar and battery across multiple buildings or tenants. Use your scale as a community to reduce costs and carbon.

Developer revenue

Set up solar as an income-generating asset on new developments. A well-designed solar project will add value to a building and create a revenue stream from day one.

/ How We Help

One partner from strategy to operations

Engage us across the entire project lifecycle, or on a specific phase where you need us most.

/ 01

Strategy & feasibility

Should we do this?

We help you establish your objectives, perform an assessment of your site and model the economics of your proposed build. We provide you with a clear go or no-go recommendation to help you decide whether to proceed with the project. You’ll have a clear view of the numbers, without any pressure to commit to build.

/ 02

Design

What exactly should we build?

We engineer the right system for your specific situation. We ensure the system is sized correctly, specified precisely, is fit for purpose from an operational perspective and is ready for procurement. You'll receive unbiased recommendations on materials and suppliers to help inform the decision-making process.

/ 03

Delivery

How do we get it built right?

Revolve manages procurement and construction to make sure the system is built to spec, delivered on time and on budget. With one point of accountability throughout, there’s no risk of the project being handed off or of knowledge being lost.

/ 04

Operations

How do we maximise ROI long term?

We monitor performance in real time and actively manage your asset to keep it delivering on its original business case. That includes fault detection and resolution, maintenance coordination, performance tracking, and ongoing optimisation - particularly for battery systems as conditions change.

The focus is not just on keeping the system running, but on ensuring it continues to deliver value - both now and into the future.

/ Action

Before the big commitment, understand the opportunity

A solar or battery project is a significant investment. Our scoping engagement gives you the clarity to move forward with confidence, or the honesty to wait. You'll walk away knowing exactly what's possible, what it costs, and whether it's the right time.
