NZC Solar Intelligence
Practical analysis from the NZC Solar team on commercial PV, monitoring, billing, export, carbon allocation and NZCBS evidence — focused on what landlords, occupiers and renewable asset owners actually need to act on.
Editorial
Short updates on commercial solar, export, billing and carbon evidence.
Behind-the-meter PPAs and tenant recharges only work if the underlying metering, allocation and unit-rate logic is right. A short briefing on what to set up before the first invoice goes out.
How on-site solar PV evidences contribution under the UK Net Zero Carbon Building Standard, and the data the standard expects you to bring with you.
Underperformance rarely announces itself. It looks like a small drop in monthly export, or a single inverter quietly offline. A short briefing on the patterns to watch for.
Practical analysis for landlords, occupiers and renewable asset owners.
Generation alone isn't evidence. Landlords need traceable, meter-backed data, defined allocation rules and reporting that holds up against NZCBS, SECR and investor scrutiny.
Spilling electricity to the grid generates revenue, but it is not automatically a carbon claim for the landlord. A practical look at what's defensible under SECR, GHG Protocol and NZCBS.
NZCBS, SECR and investor frameworks all expect verified, meter-traceable data. Static annual figures don't survive scrutiny — what does is continuous performance evidence.
Watching live generation is the easy part. The harder problem is turning that data into billing, allocation, carbon and portfolio decisions across mixed hardware and operators.
Guides, templates and explainers for solar and microgeneration reporting.
A short reference guide to the three allocation buckets every multi-let solar building has to deal with, and the data you need to support each one.
A practical look at how PPAs work in shared-occupancy assets — landlord-as-generator, tenant-as-off-taker, common parts, and how to keep the metering coherent.
Evidence packs aren't a single document — they're a structured collection of metered data, allocation rules and carbon outputs that an auditor can follow end-to-end.
