Another strong result. Nice work, Trinasolar

The best advice often comes from an installer who has already worked through a similar job. The Sungrow Aussie Installers Facebook group is also a useful resource for New Zealand installers. Despite the name, many of the discussions, installation experiences and practical tips are just as relevant on this side of the Tasman. https://lnkd.in/eTCqys9K Sungrow’s customer service and technical support remain available when formal assistance is needed. The group adds another layer, giving installers a place to compare experiences, discuss unusual site conditions and learn how others have approached similar installations. Sungrow Asia Pacific also has a dedicated service and support YouTube channel with practical videos covering its products: https://lnkd.in/eqTTUReh The Facebook group is private, so you will need to join through your personal Facebook profile rather than a business page. #Sungrow #SolarNZ #SmithsNZ

One of the most important parts of a solar project often happens before anyone gets on the roof. The best systems are not necessarily the ones with the longest specification sheet. They are the ones designed around the site, the customer’s requirements and the realities of installation. Straightforward to install, reliable over the long term and backed by people who know the products when support is needed. That is why we back the products we supply with in-house system design support, technical guidance and customer service support. Getting the product selection, layout and configuration right from the outset can mean fewer surprises on site and a system that is better matched to the job. As technology keeps evolving, keeping on top of it can be demanding. Our role is to help make the design, product selection and support side of the process as straightforward as possible. #SmithsNZ #SolarNZ

A major milestone for New Zealand solar. Reaching 1 GW of distributed solar shows just how far the industry has come, but there is still plenty of room to grow. The next gigawatt may arrive much faster than the first.

Different ranking. Same signal. Last week, we shared that Sungrow had been ranked #1 in the PVBL 2026 Global Top 100 Solar & Energy Storage Brands. Now, PVTIME market capitalisation data from 30 June 2026 shows Sungrow sitting at the top again, with a market value of 322.675 billion yuan. In a solar market where price pressure, product quality and long-term support are all under the microscope, brand strength matters. Choosing a solar and storage brand is not just about what is available today. It is about confidence in the manufacturer behind it. Congratulations to Sungrow on another outstanding result. Great to see one of our key supplier partners continuing to set the pace globally.

Every now and then it’s good to get the team out of the office, warehouse and day-to-day routine. For our mid-year work do, the Smiths team headed to Skyline Rotorua for a day of luge runs, ziplining and the Sky Swing. The luge brought out a bit of friendly competition. The zipline was a great way to take in the views. And the Sky Swing definitely got everyone’s heart racing. It was a great chance to spend time together away from work, have a few laughs, and enjoy a proper team day out in a location that's pretty hard-to-beat. A big thanks to the team for all the work that’s gone into the first half of the year. Back to the usual pace now, with a few good stories from the day. #SmithsNZ #Rotorua #Awesome

The C&I solar space is moving quickly. Bigger systems. More demanding sites. Higher expectations around performance, safety and long-term serviceability. The new Sungrow SG125CX-P3 looks like another strong step for commercial-scale solar, with a clear focus on active protection, simplified O&M and real-world performance. We’ll be watching this one closely for the NZ market. #Sungrow #SolarNZ #CommercialSolar #EnergyStorage #SmithsNZ
