Commercial and Industrial Solar Funding
Large-scale commercial sites across Hawke’s Bay, from logistics hubs and cool stores to industrial processing facilities are well-placed to take advantage of national energy-efficiency support, green lending, and the region’s exceptional solar resource.
At this scale, a well-designed system can offset a significant share of daytime energy consumption, cutting exposure to volatile grid pricing and network charges. For operations running heavy machinery, refrigeration, or continuous processing equipment, savings compound quickly, often delivering payback periods that make solar one of the strongest capital investments available today.
There’s also growing pressure from supply chain partners and export markets to demonstrate credible sustainability credentials. For Hawke’s Bay exporters, where environmental stewardship is increasingly tied to market access, solar provides measurable emissions reductions that support ESG reporting and premium market positioning.
With co-funding available through EECA and banks offering generous green lending, the case for acting now is strong. DMAK Electrical works with large-scale commercial clients across Hawke’s Bay to design systems that deliver real performance and long-term value.

Large Scale Site Funding
Large-scale sites across Hawke’s Bay can tap into both national energy-efficiency funds and green finance tools.
EECA Co-Funding (Commercial) is suitable for:
Warehouses
Logistics operations
Packhouses
Industrial sites
Public sector or community facilities
Funding typically supports projects with clear savings and emissions reductions.
Solar is commonly bundled with:
LED upgrades
Energy management systems
Electrification of equipment
Battery storage for resilience
Sustainability Loans for Large Sites
Banks offer high-limit green lending for major solar installations, allowing commercial users to scale systems up to hundreds of kilowatts.
Why choose solar for your commercial property?
Large sites benefit from scale: big roofs = big savings
Rapid payback for high-consumption facilities
Strong energy stability for logistics, processing, and manufacturing
Significant carbon reduction and ESG advantages
Long-term operating cost control and future-proofing
