Scott’s Super Solar Pack
Beauden has had a successful rugby career and is a household name both here in New Zealand and many other parts of the world.
With the rest of the Barrett family, Beauden grew up in the Taranaki coastal town of Pungarehu, about half an hour’s drive from New Plymouth, spending his mornings helping on the family farms and his afternoons throwing a rugby ball around in the backyard with his siblings, cousins and neighbours.
Beauden has gone from strength to strength in his rugby career. From winning the Ranfurly Shield with Taranaki in 2011, his first Super Rugby championship with the Hurricanes in 2016, to two-time World Rugby Player of the Year. Beauden now reigns as the highest overall points scorer out of any actively playing All Black and is currently playing for the Blues Super Rugby team.
Beauden and his wife Hannah own a holiday home not far from Auckland and have recently installed a state-of-the-art Lightforce Solar system on the roof of the property. The solar install is the gold standard and includes a 20kW Sigenergy 3-phase hybrid inverter plus 24kWh batteries allowing the family to store the power they generate, building resilience from power outages, reducing the power bill, and creating a sustainable energy solution. Beauden has signed up as ambassador for Lightforce Solar and will be working with the business to share a future proofed energy solution to all kiwis.
Scott Barrett holds the coveted position of All Black captain.
Following in his father’s rugby footsteps, Scott earned a reputation for being a formidable opponent in any scrum or lineout.
After graduating high school, Scott moved from the dairy farm in Taranaki to another regional powerhouse of agriculture and rugby, Canterbury, where he obtained a Bachelor of Science at Lincoln University. Shortly after moving to the South Island, Scott found himself in the red and black strip of Canterbury and the Crusaders.
As a high achiever his whole career, Scott has won a record-making six Super Rugby titles in a row with the Crusaders, captaining the side in three seasons. Scott’s biggest international accolade is being the current All Black captain, named in the role for the 2024 season
From university to rugby stardom, Scott has made Canterbury his home away from home, raising his family in Christchurch. He hasn’t forgotten his Taranaki roots, returning home to play for the province in 2021 in a 24-10 win against Southland.
Scott has partnered with Lightforce Solar as an ambassador and will have solar installed solar on his family home in central Christchurch.
