“under time pressure to meet a code of compliance…”
Antony, Kanuka Forest (Solar) has completed a Victron, off grid, Solar installation for my 2 bedroom, 100sqm house at Waipu.
I had sourced new Victron batteries and Victron equipment and required the installation.
Antony was very helpful with his Solar knowledge and got the job done.
I installed the 18 panel frame myself and assisted Antony to install the panels.
Antony has a great electrician he works with and took the entire process to inspection and signoff with no issues.
I was under time pressure to meet a code of compliance deadline and Antony worked with a moon-boot to meet the time frames.
I am happy to recommend Antony and Kanuka Forest Solar.

Antony is very professional and was a life saver for me. I initially engaged another company to install my system but they proved to be unable to complete the job in a timely and certified manner, in fact they left the equipment in an unsafe state.
Thankfully Antony was recommended by the supplier of the equipment I had.
He corrected numerous errors that the original installer had made.
I now have a safe, certified and amazingly efficient system that is working better than I ever imagined. I would have no hesitation in recommending Antony for your solar system installation any day of the week.

About 18 months ago I was trying to install solar in my van myself. Watching YouTube, learning as I went, and basically hacking my way through it.
Luckily I came across Antony from Kanuka Forest Solar.
Not only did he kit me out with top-quality gear, the advice and support he gave me, especially with programming the solar controller, was way beyond what I expected.
Fast forward to two weeks ago. I was setting up another van in Australia and reached out to him again.
Honestly, I didn’t expect a reply.
Instead he jumped straight in and helped me troubleshoot everything. About 20 messages later I was fully sorted.
That level of support, especially long after the original job, is rare.
If you want a solar installer who actually cares and doesn’t forget about you a year later, Antony is your man.
Highly recommended.

On behalf of the Paparoa Sports and Recreation Association we want to thank you for your time and expertise in the provision of our new solar light at our entrance way.
It is just what we needed and has made it easier to see the entrance at night. That will be even more helpful coming in to winter. We really appreciated your help and advice.
— Libby Jones, Paparoa, March 2026“Exceptional product knowledge...”
Professional, knowledgeable and reliable, that’s how I would describe Kanuka Forest and Antony with setting up our solar system.
I’m extremely grateful to have picked Antony for our off grid solar system setup. Exceptional product knowledge, great to deal with, and very insightful. My family and I have a great solar system setup that will last for years to come. Thanks again Antony!!!!
