Cloudy Bay is one of Marlborough’s most recognised wineries, known worldwide for its standout Sauvignon Blanc and long history in New Zealand winemaking. With growing production and strong daytime energy demand, the site was an ideal candidate for a large-scale solar upgrade.

As part of a partnership with PPA provider Green Peak Energy, Trilect Solar delivered the full solar farm build for the multi-building winery, supporting Kiwi Solar in their role as EPC. Our team managed the on-site construction, installation, and integration across the winery buildings, ensuring the system was completed to the highest commercial standard.

This project highlights Trilect Solar’s capability in delivering complex commercial installations — especially for high-consumption sectors like wineries and agricultural facilities.
