Xtreme zero waste: Recycling Centre
Description
Stendy Solar received a request to design a commercial solar power system for Raglan’s forward-thinking community-driven refuse centre, Xtreme Zero Waste. The centre generously offered its roof space for a community energy initiative. Our mission was clear: design a commercial solar power system that not only meets the daytime energy needs of the entire site but also generates surplus energy to sell back to the grid. This system translates into an income stream that directly funds projects aimed at supporting those in need within the Raglan community. By successfully installing this solar system, Stendy Solar not only provides Xtreme Zero Waste with cost-effective energy but also contributes to the well-being of the local community.

Craft Homes: Fully off grid passive home
Description
Toby Tisley, a prominent builder specialising in high-end sustainable passive solar homes, embarked on constructing his own family residence. Located on a remote rural site near Ruapuke, his vision was to create an energy-efficient home that would operate independently of the grid.
Toby sought the expertise of Stendy Solar. Their task was to design a custom off-grid solar power system capable of meeting the energy demands of Toby’s house and other structures on the property. The result was a comprehensive system AC DC coupled off grid system creating their own independent micro grid.
Key Features of the Off-Grid System
- DC-Coupled Solar on the Shed Roof: Stendy Solar strategically installed solar panels on the shed roof, harnessing sunlight with a DC charge controller. This charge controller charges the batteries even if the system shuts down providing emergency resilience.
- AC-Coupled Solar on the House Roof: The house roof has solar panels managed by an AC-coupled inverter, this inverter provides power to their micro grid and can power their loads when the sun is shining, while reducing battery cycling which in turn increases the life span off the batteries
Micro Hydro Turbine: In addition to solar, the system incorporates a micro hydro turbine. This innovative feature taps into the natural flow of water, generating electricity day and night.

What our clients say about our work
We selected Stendy Solar to install the Solar Power system at the Raglan Club. We looked at leasing options but there was very little return for the commitment involved so we opted to buy our own system. Stendy were professional and helpful from whoa to go. They took care of everything and I am confident in the availability and professionalism of ongoing support if needed. Our system is fit for purpose and we are averaging savings of over $1,000 per month on our previous years power bill. I would recommend getting a solar power system and I would recommend Stendy Solar to do the work.
- Debbie Dalbeth, President Raglan Club Inc 2024
We are delighted with our 10 panel solar installation by Stendy Solar. Our power bill decreased 30-40% in winter and in summer up to 90%.
Jeff and Liam were great to deal with, very knowledgeable and professional. We looked at a number of solar install companies, and going local was the best choice in terms of a personalised service, immediate contact, choice of product, fast installation, skills and experience.
- Rachael G, Raglan
From the first contact through to the commissioning of the system Jeff and the team at Stendy were great to deal with. They were responsive, thorough, efficient and professional. The quote was detailed and Jeff was very patient in taking us through it ensuring we understood everything and improving our understanding of solar significantly. The installation team were then on to it and super efficient in completing the install. We now have exactly what we wanted in a solar system and with us switching totally to EVs the savings are even greater than expected so the payback will be significantly better than projected. Thanks Stendys. Great job.
