Endless Energy is proud to have contributed to Goodman’s commitment to sustainable building with the installation of two Solar PV systems at their Roma Road development. The project included a 24.5kW and 21.4kW solar system, supporting Goodman’s vision for environmentally responsible industrial spaces.

The Roma Road site was transformed from a brownfield location—previously occupied by an old Foodstuffs logistics warehouse—into a sustainable redevelopment. As part of this transformation, four new warehouses were constructed, targeting a 5 Green Star Built rating g from the NZ Green Building Council.

The two solar systems feature a total of 90 510W Longi Solar panels and two 20kW SMA inverters, generating an annual production of 26,895kWh and 30,530kWh, offsetting a significant proportion of the building’s consumption. By integrating solar energy into the site, Goodman is not only reducing its operational carbon footprint but is also setting a benchmark for sustainable industrial developments. This initiative aligns with broader efforts to create energy-efficient buildings that contribute to New Zealand’s renewable energy goals.

A key aspect of this redevelopment was a strong focus on environmental responsibility. 90% of materials from the demolished Foodstuffs warehouse were recovered and repurposed into the new buildings. These materials included steel framing, roofing components, concrete, and masonry.

Other sustainability initiatives Goodman integrated into the new buildings include new bike racks & EV charging stations, using low-carbon concrete, rainwater harvesting systems, electrical submetering to enable real-time energy monitoring, and planting a native urban ngahere (forest) to increase biodiversity.

At Endless Energy, we are committed to supporting innovative projects that drive sustainable development. Our solar installation at Goodman Roma Road is another example in providing our client’s with resilient, energy-efficient and future-proof buildings that contribute to a lower-carbon future.
