Why a quality mark for solar

Solassure exists to help home and business owners navigate solar with greater clarity, trust, and confidence, while supporting higher standards and accountability across the industry

Building greater confidence in New Zealand’s solar industry.

Solar is becoming an increasingly important part of New Zealand’s energy future. As more home and business owners explore solar, energy storage, and energy independence, the industry is growing rapidly, bringing new opportunities, technologies, and providers into the market. But for many people, choosing solar can still feel overwhelming.

What Solassure Stands For

Different pricing structures, varying advice, technical language, and uncertainty around quality can make it difficult to know where to start or who to trust. Solassure was created to help simplify that experience. Our goal is to support a more transparent, accountable, and trusted solar sector by helping homeowners identify providers who meet recognised standards and ongoing expectations.

Trust

Helping homeowners make more informed decisions with greater confidence.

Transparency

Encouraging clearer communication, pricing, and customer understanding.

Quality

Promoting recognised standards across products, installation, and service.

Accountability

Supporting ongoing responsibility and professionalism across the industry.

How to spot a Solassure certified installer

Certification is not a badge anyone can buy. It means an installer has been assessed against the programme’s standards, and keeps meeting them. You can find this mark on installers websites, vehicles, quotes, signage & business cards. Every certified installer in New Zealand is listed in our directory. If a company displays the mark and is not listed, they are not certified.

Where you will see the mark

Every certified installer applies the mark the same way, so once you have seen it you will recognise it anywhere. Here is where to look, and what each one tells you.

Their website

Usually in the footer or alongside their other accreditations, linked through to their listing in our directory so you can confirm it in one click.

Their vehicle

If a certified installer turns up at your place, the mark is on the van.

Your quote or proposal

On written paperwork, the mark tells you the company putting its name to that price is certified today, not at some point in the past.

Site signage

During an installation, certified installers display the mark on site, so you and your neighbours can see who is working on the roof.

Business cards and email

Small things, and easy to overlook. Same mark, same meaning.

Our directory

Every certified installer in New Zealand is listed. If a company displays the mark and is not listed, they are not certified, and we would like to know.
