GoodWe Case Study

New Zealand’s First Galaxy Lightweight Solar Panel Installation

Greener Solar Solutions is proud to have completed the first-ever installation of Galaxy lightweight solar panels on a PVC membrane roof in New Zealand! This innovative project is paving the way for sustainable energy solutions on roofs with limited load-bearing capacity.

This project was completed with support from GoodWe BIPV Solutions and Golden Solar, whose expertise helped ensure a seamless process from design to installation. Greener’s in-house team worked closely with these partners to deliver a system that meets the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and durability.

System Overview:

  • Output: 24.455 kW

  • Panels: 73 Galaxy lightweight solar panels

  • Installation Materials: 438 PPOE battens for secure and efficient installation

Why This Project Matters

The Galaxy lightweight panels are specifically designed for specialized applications where traditional solar panels are unsuitable. With an ultra-lightweight frameless surface and innovative installation methods, these panels are ideal for:

  • Roofs with limited load-bearing capacity

  • Buildings requiring non-invasive solutions, such as PVC membrane roofs

This groundbreaking installation demonstrates the potential for lightweight solar solutions to make clean energy more accessible to commercial buildings with unique structural needs.

A Step Toward a Greener Future

The successful integration of the Galaxy panels opens up new possibilities for commercial solar installations, particularly for businesses with unconventional roofing structures.
