Technical Delivery Standards

Open Invitation — Be Part of the Pilot

WE Share Community Power is growing our pilot programme and warmly welcomes SEANZ-accredited members from across Aotearoa to participate.
Whether you’re an established solar provider, qualified installer, or technology innovator, your experience and leadership are valued in shaping the next stage of community-powered energy.

If you’re among the many experienced SEANZ-accredited installers and solar companies already setting the standard in your region, we’d especially like to hear from you. Your expertise supports WE Share’s mission to model scalable, community-led energy systems nationwide.

Our collective goal is to accelerate integration of diverse inverter brands, system configurations, and smart-energy technologies to build an open, interoperable Virtual Power Product (VPP) network across Waiheke Island and beyond.
