SCOTT BARRETT - LOCKING IN A MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE, NOW.

As one of New Zealand’s most respected rugby players, Scott Barrett is used to leading from the front. Recently, he saw the potential in leading-edge, cost-effective and power-bill-lowering solar power with Lightforce Solar, and leapt at the opportunity for his home in Christchurch. 

“We’d seen a few modern homes with solar and thought it looked sharp – modern and smart. Plus, the benefits are obvious, right? Lower power bills,” says Scott. “We also tend to leave the lights and heat pump on all day, so that definitely played a part!”

As you’d expect from a national captain, Scott also sees the benefit of embracing solar not just for good for his household, but for all New Zealand. “We don’t want to be too reliant on fossil fuels,” he says, “and the more renewable sources we can tap into – especially ones that are cost effective to install – the better. It’s about energy security, both for the country and for individual households.”

Scott is excited to see the benefits at home first, but thinks there’s real potential for wider adoption too – especially in businesses.

“Who knows, maybe even the new stadium in Christchurch!”

ABOUT

SCOTT BARRETT

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.

Well the panels have been on the roof for nearly a year and they haven’t blown off but they have significantly cut my electricity bills. Seriously thinking of adding a battery. Perhaps Lightforce might like to make an offer?

We did a LOT of research on solar and solar companies before choosing Lightforce and so glad we did. The initial meeting with Steve was really positive, he gave us even more insight and did not try to pressurise us in anyway. The guys who came to fit the system over 2.5 days were professional, courteous, and hardworking - they were in fact some of the best tradies we've come across. It's not a cliche when people say they wish they'd done it sooner - I wish we'd done it sooner! Just do it!

We have just had 27 panels and battery installed while we were also having our roof replaced and what a team! they were fantastic at keeping in touch and also with the roofers so that it all could be done at the same time with no drama or fuss. They kept us in the loop through the whole process and I can really recommend them to any one thinking about going solar. The app they give you so that you can monitor the panels, grid and how much you are exporting is highly addictive! We cant help but check in to see what they are doing. Thanks team!

I recently purchased a solar system through Lightforce with the support of John McGlashen, and the experience has been exceptional. John provided all the information I needed to make a confident, informed decision. No question was ever treated as insignificant — and I had plenty!

What has truly stood out is the outstanding after-sales support. When I didn’t see immediate results from my system, John stayed in contact, guided me through the data, and ensured I understood how everything worked until I could clearly see the benefits myself.

I would highly recommend John personally. If you’re considering solar, ask for him — you won’t be disappointed.

Conor and team did an amazing job of installing and configuring our new solar system. They were prompt, professional and answered all questions that we asked and has been available since the install any time I've texted with more questions. I'd ask for him again if we were going to expand our system.

Conor and Tim and the team at Lightforce worked hard to install my solar and battery system, and in particular put in efforts to wire my system together to make it as foolproof as possible. Great work from a great team.

Had a great experience with our install.

Jamie arranging the changeover with good clear communication and updates.

Conor with the last day of work on the commissioning was fantastic to deal with, walked me through the app and settings to get the best for our system. The bit that set him apart though- txt me to fix something later that night and has followed up again a month later to make sure everything is still running right.

Have become an advocate for Lightforce, the processes and people, especially if they are like Conor

Lightforce are simply the best, no wonder the Barretts went with Lightforce for Solar. Forget the boat, the bach or the motorhome this is definitely the best investment we've ever made. I got three other quotes and Lightforce shone out above the others. Their staff were amazing, so helpful, answered every question I had straight off, I could tell they really were the best. The fitters were just amazing, so professional a pleasure to have working on our property and they left the place literally spotless. The equipment looks really good and is streets above the competition. The energy companies are going to be owing ME money! We are really happy that Lightforce has saved us from a future of ever-increasing power bills, and I unreservedly recommend them. The future is obvious and its Lightforce Solar.

Lightforce Solar was introduced and recomended to me by my wife's workmate. I heard good feedback that mede be decided to finally get in touch with Lightforce solar. I had a meeting with them to discuss intallation plans which I am totally happy meeting my goals during the meeting. Staff who installed my solar panels are very professional, and accomodating. They come to work on time and leave the place after they tidy up. All of my querries about solar energy generation were answered. I will definitely recommend Lightforce solar to my to friends and family.

We had 21 panels installed by Lightforce, along with a 16kWh Sigenergy battery and a 10kW inverter. The entire process was handled very professionally. Sohil took the time to explain everything clearly and left no questions unanswered, which gave us great confidence in the system.

The installation was completed to a very high standard — neat and tidy, with all connections cleanly installed inside the garage wall. Communication throughout the project was excellent, and we’re very happy with the result. We would gladly recommend Lightforce to anyone considering solar.

Great service from Lightforce, the new solar and battery installation has been outperforming expectations and working really well. The installation team did an incredible job of the fit out, really helpful, efficient and friendly crew. Special shout out to Connor the lead electrician on the job who was super thoughtful throughout the installation and has been available (even in weekends) for some follow up questions and guidance! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
