Key Projects

Christchurch Boys High School

We have had a long-standing relationship with Christchurch Boys’ High School, providing trusted electrical services across several key projects including the rebuild of the Caddick and Caldwell Blocks and the full restoration of their heritage-listed Main Building. Our work on the Main Building, a Category 1 heritage-listed structure, started with a complete strip-out in 2020 and progressed through cable tray installation, power upgrades and pre-wiring over the following years. In 2024, we completed the fit-off of plugs, lights and commissioning, culminating with exterior lighting to enhance safety and visibility. Throughout, we have worked closely with the school to honour its heritage while delivering modern, safe electrical solutions.

Key Projects

Sunson Asian Food Market

Christchurch Electrical Solar scoped, assisted with the design, installed and managed the large-scale solar project at Sunson Asian Food Market in Wigram. The supermarket had 165kW worth of power installed via 368 panels with a 150kW inverter and a custom-fabricated cage.

To ensure continuation of business, the team worked outside of operating hours for the power shutdown and ensured critical equipment such as chillers were without power for no more than 2 hours. The original switchboard installer was located in order to obtain a matching switchboard and cabinet to extend the system capacity, and every terminal was torqued to the correct rating. Traffic management, accounting for wind zones, roof height and weight management of craned panels, was among the considerations for project management of the site.
