New Zealand will need to dramatically upscale electricity generation capacity in the coming years, with solar set to play a central role. “Solar is clean, with zero emissions. From 2-8 March, (Figure 1) there was 69MW of mean daytime solar generation and total weekly generation. . Solar power in New Zealand is a small but rapidly growing contributor to the country's electricity supply. This makes up an estimated contribution of under 1% of total electricity consumption. Globally, solar PV uptake has increased significantly over the past decade. We achieve this by developing and constructing utility-scale renewable energy infrastructure. Freelance journalist Katie Kouchakji reports from Auckland.
