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.

Can't say enough good things about Lightforce Solar.

Chose Lightforce over others as they listened to me and helped design a system perfect for me and my situation ... definitely not an off the shelf system that everyone gets.

Most notable was the attention to details. Everything is very tidy which I appreciate.

Total price very fair and in line with what I expected.

Recommended to a friend who now has a solar system also thanks to Lightforce. His first comment to me after installation was how neat and tidy the installation was. As a builder he notices things like this.

And remember, your installer will be your go to in case of a warranty claim so you want to feel comfortable with them. With Lightforce I do.

If you want a great system that works without issue immediately, make sure you get a Lightforce quote.

Thanks Lightforce.

Light Force Nelson provided the best quote(not the cheapest not the dearest ) that fitted my needs.
The team were fantastic from first contact to the finished install.
Great equipment through sigenergy and design of the install was brilliant and compact.
The addition of a EV charger with the ability to charge from solar just puts a bigger smile on my face.
The app is easy to use and very informative.
Highly recommend you see these guys for your solar needs.

Great experience with Lightforce Solar. From the initial contact and consultation, Jevan took the time to walk through the different options and assess the house to recommend what would work best. The installation team also did a great job working around some terrible weather while keeping everything moving smoothly. Highly professional and easy to deal with from start to finish.

Lightforce provided good advice and a competitive quotation. They followed up with a tidy installation and again provided good advice at commissioning. After 8 months, the system has exceeded our expectations.

Every part of the process was well organised, transparent and professional. From Pre-sales, through installation and post-sales Lightforce was fantastic to deal with. No question was too dumb and they were more than happy to answer our questions and take us through the journey. Would use again without question.

Great experience from start to finish. They made the whole process very simple.
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!

Well, today was the final day of our install and what a pleasure working with the team.

From the beginning, Sachin really knew his stuff. I’d done quite a bit of research about what I was after so I wasn’t jumping in blind, but Sachin was able to explain any of the knowledge gaps and was also able to explain why he was recommending something.

The office team were quick to respond and, as promised, organised me an earlier install date as one came available.

The two days of the install were smooth as butter. The team were professional and lightening fast. Every time I looked up it seemed like they’d accomplished major. There was only about an hour of downtime which was great as I kept working from home.

Overall I would recommend them to all, thanks for making everything easy for us and for a VERY clean install.

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.
