A renowned Central Otago winery producing award-winning Pinot Noir and other varietals. Your property at 247 Cairnmuir Road presents an excellent opportunity for a ground-mount commercial solar installation.
Site Details
ADDRESS
247 Cairnmuir Road Bannockburn 9384
ICP NUMBERS
6 ICPs (consolidating)
GROUND AREA
Approx. 800 m²
MOUNT TYPE
Ground mount system
BUSINESS TYPE
Winery & Vineyard
SOLAR REGION
Central Otago — 4.2 PSH
Why This Site is Ideal
- Open ground area ideal for ground-mount solar installation with no shading
- High daytime energy demand from winery operations aligns with solar generation
- Central Otago offers excellent solar irradiance — among the highest in New Zealand
- All groundwork and trenching to be carried out by the customer, reducing installation costs
Your Current Energy Profile
Based on 12 months of half-hourly meter data across all 6 ICPs (March 2025 — February 2026), we have analysed your consumption patterns to design the optimal solar system.
Monthly Consumption
kWh per month — Jul 2025 to Feb 2026
Daily Demand Profile
Average kW demand by hour — solar hours highlighted
Key Insight
Your winery maintains a consistent base load across all 6 ICPs, with daytime demand peaking during business hours when solar generation is highest. The plan to consolidate to a single ICP will simplify metering and maximise the benefit of a ground-mount solar system. With 61.8% of consumption occurring during daylight hours, a solar system will achieve excellent self-consumption rates — nearly all generated power will be used on-site, maximising your return on investment.
Commercial Solar Installation
We have designed three system options to match your energy profile and available ground space. Each option uses tier-1 monocrystalline panels and commercial-grade string inverters.
Tier-1 Monocrystalline Panels
580W high-efficiency panels with 25-year performance warranty and proven degradation rates below 0.5% per year.
Commercial String Inverters
High-efficiency string inverters with integrated monitoring, designed for commercial-scale installations.
Ground Mount Racking System
Heavy-duty galvanised steel ground mount system engineered for Central Otago conditions. All groundwork and trenching by customer.
Real-Time Monitoring
Cloud-based monitoring platform providing real-time generation data, consumption analytics, and performance alerts.
Choose Your System
Three options designed to match your energy needs and budget. All prices include equipment, installation, commissioning, and monitoring setup.
