Big news from TMRE: we are now Solassure Certified.

Solassure is New Zealand’s independent quality mark for solar and energy storage. Our certification means TMRE has been independently assessed against strict standards for system design, products, installation, business practices, after-sales support and customer care.

For our customers, that means greater confidence that their solar and battery project is being delivered by a provider committed to quality at every stage—from the first conversation to long after switch-on.

We’re proud to pair this national quality mark with the local knowledge, relationships and kaupapa that have always guided our mahi.

Heading home after an absolutely awesome day participating and supporting Ngā Tāngata Tiaki o Whanganui solar workshops☀️

It’s been massive for Tū Mai Rā Energy as we roll out solar installations across the Whanganui rohe. With 8 marae installs done & 22 more to go!

Huge mihi to the teams on the ground for the manaakitanga and hard work. It’s not just about putting panels on roofs; it’s about empowering communities to take control of their own energy future. 💚

On to the next one!

☀️ Big news for solar in Aotearoa — and for the whānau who've been locked out of it.

Today the Ministry for Regulation released its review of the solar installation process, and two changes stand out for us at Tū Mai Rā Energy:

🔌 Plug-in solar is set to be legalised — a low-cost way for renters, apartment dwellers and whānau in papakāinga to finally take part, even without a roof of their own.

⚡ Faster connections — accredited installers will be able to connect systems up to 100kW without the weeks-long wait for inspection that's held up mahi in rural and provincial areas.

For us this is simple: energy that's faster, more affordable, and stays in the hands of our communities. We've been advocating for these changes, and we're ready to help bring plug-in solar here. 🌱

Tū mai rā — the sun is ours to harness.

Mauri Ora whānau! ☀️

We're proud to share the near completion of a 10kW ground-mounted solar system at Kaputuhi Marae near — clean, resilient energy now grounded in the whenua and standing ready to serve the marae for years to come.

This install marks a special milestone for us. It's the first time TMRE is deploying Sodium-Ion batteries, as part of a deliberate move to test and shift towards battery technology that's more environmentally friendly and recyclable. Sodium-Ion uses abundant, widely available materials and steps away from some of the scarcer minerals found in conventional lithium batteries — an approach that sits well with kaitiakitanga and caring for our whenua for the generations to come.

A huge ngā mihi to the Marae Pact Trust for backing this kaupapa and making it possible.

Thanks also to our design & install partners & for their mahi on the ground.

And a big mihi to Matua Rore Stafford and the whānau of Kaputuhi Marae for your manaakitanga and for welcoming this kaupapa onto your marae.

Tū mai rā — following in the footsteps of Maui to harness the sun. ☀️

Mauri ora! 🌱
