For schools & community

Community & solar education

Solar, explained to everyone. We show up in the community as the local solar expert — making solar make sense for people of any age, clearly and without the sales pitch.

The short version

Good information is the best safety tool there is. As solar spreads across New Zealand, more people are living with it, walking past it, and making decisions about it — and most of what they hear comes from someone trying to sell them something.

SolarLink shows up where it matters: school talks, community events, library sessions, and field days, as your local solar expert. We break down how solar actually works, what’s safe, what’s worth knowing, and how to separate the facts from the hype. It’s clear, engaging, refreshingly jargon-free, and tailored to whoever’s in the room — from primary-school classes to retiree groups.

If you’re organising an event or programme and want solar explained properly, we’d love to be part of it.
