The Lightforce SolarPort gives you reliable shelter for your vehicles, and high‑output solar generation that helps power your home and keep your EV battery charged while you park.

Built with reinforced double‑glass solar panels, integrated drainage, and coastal‑grade aluminium framing, it is engineered for New Zealand’s weather and designed to look good doing it.

  • 580W+ Panel Output
  • 100% Waterproof

Drive on Sunshine

SolarPort is designed with EVs in mind.
The structural legs include internal cable channels, allowing EV chargers to be mounted cleanly and safely without exposed conduits.

When paired with smart charging technology, your SolarPort can direct surplus power generation to your vehicle, helping you charge more often from pure sunshine and rely less on grid power.


Already have solar? Supercharge it.

SolarPort integrates easily with an existing system, adding more generation in a practical and easy-to-install external structure.
This makes it a great way to increase export back to the grid, or to help charge home batteries and EVs.

SolarPort can be installed to supplement your Rooftop Solar, connecting to your current inverter and battery to boost generation even when roof space is limited.

Social & Environmental Responsibility

As part of our commitment to communities around NZ, we pledge to gift solar systems to charities, organisations and community groups so they can free up funds that might have otherwise been spent on power, to be redirected to areas where they can make a real difference.

“Lightforce were great. They answered all of my questions to help make the decision to go solar. Installation was quick and effective. Since we’ve been up and running I have seen a drop in the bills and it’s always nice to see a credit for what we’ve put back into the grid. Next phase is getting the best Lightforce battery set-up so we can use it all ourselves!”
