Celebrating the future of grid-connected solar
The SEANZ Aotearoa Industry Awards are all about recognising the people and projects leading the way in Aotearoa’s sustainable energy future. These awards celebrate success, showcase innovation and acknowledge the organisations shaping a cleaner, smarter energy system for generations to come.
As solar, storage and smart energy step into the spotlight, it’s more important than ever to highlight the projects that set new benchmarks for excellence. At Revolve, we’re proud to sponsor the Best Grid-Connected PV System Award, recognising systems that not only generate renewable power but also integrate seamlessly with the grid to deliver lasting value.
Best Grid-Connected PV System
A grid-connected renewable system is more than just solar panels. To be considered, entries must include onsite renewable generation, be tied to the national grid, and may incorporate energy storage and load control. These systems represent the best of what our industry offers — reliable, scalable and sustainable energy for Aotearoa.
