Designed and built in New Zealand.

The Solar Trailer Co designs and builds silent, mobile, off-grid solar power trailers in New Zealand for demanding outdoor conditions. Three tiers, real specs, qualified compliance.

What we build

Three build sizes, each available on a trailer or on skids — from a 2.4 m Solo unit (Tier 1 — Solo) to a 4.8 m flagship (Tier 3 — Command) for major construction, multi-day events, film unit base camps and civil-defence response. Bolt-on modules (irrigation pump, espresso & hospitality, PA & lighting rig, tool & charging, insulated chiller) are planned optional add-ons rather than standard fitment.

How we work

We talk like a foreman who knows the spec by heart and wouldn't waste your time. Numbers, units and tolerances are the heroes. Every claim is qualified — kWh, kg, dB, NZD ex-GST. If we can't measure it, we don't say it.

Compliance

Our solar systems are installed onto purpose-built trailers that are supplied engineered and road-legal — NZTA Class TB light trailers (GVM under 3,500 kg) with a current Warrant of Fitness (WoF) at the time of delivery. The solar, battery, inverter and 230 V electrical systems are installed by EWRB-registered electricians and independently inspected by a Licensed Electrical Inspector, with a Certificate of Compliance issued for every unit. All tiers tow on a standard Class 1 (car) licence, provided your combined vehicle-plus-trailer weight (GCM) stays within your licence limit (6,000 kg on a full Class 1) — check your tow vehicle against the trailer's weight before towing.
