About us

Local sparkies who take solar seriously.

Zero Electrical & Renewables is a Christchurch based electrical team who specialises in solar.

Our story

Zero Electrical and Zero Renewables: one team, one standard.

We started as electricians: switchboards, rewires, the everyday work that keeps Canterbury homes running. When solar arrived, we watched sales companies flood the market and subcontract the actual work to whoever was cheapest that week.

We thought Canterbury deserved better: solar designed and installed by the same licensed electricians who’d answer the phone afterwards. That’s Zero Renewables, and Zero Electrical is still right here beside it.

Christchurch based, servicing from Amberley to Ashburton.
