With costs lower than ever before,

the time for solar

and batteries is NOW.

The price of batteries and solar has dropped 50% over recent years. At the same time, the price of power has at least doubled in most of the western world.

Local has the solution to benefit from this.

We’ll create cheaper and greener power for you, while decentralising power generation. Our power is more affordable - saving you up to 10% on your current bill, without all the issues that some other renewable approaches have. And our system reduces stress on the national grid, so we’re helping all kiwis. It may sound too good to be true, but it’s not!

Same service, better price, better approach, more local

With the help of super clever software, Local has revolutionised making the economics of solar and batteries work for you and your community. There used to be two main ways you and your community could try to access the benefits of renewables.

Put solar and/or batteries on your house, which generally still has ‘just OK’ economics in NZ and requires big spend; and you have to own the house
Put in solar and battery farms, which has OK economics but puts a lot of strain on the grid, which we all pay for, and isn’t slowing down the power price rises any time soon!

Local has found the middle place.

We put solar and batteries on local large buildings and we smartly mix this power with grid power, so that we have enough well priced ‘spare power’ to power a bunch of local houses too. The result is:

The economics are great
It’s super easy to join, and you can leave any time if you want
There’s immediate and long term benefit to your community
Everyone can join in and get the benefit
