Auckland's Snowplanet has partnered with one of NZ’s leading commercial solar companies, Sunergise, to produce more snow for less energy. The new system features 2,317 ground-mounted panels on the hillside adjacent to the main facility, in order to create 80 cubic metres of fresh snow every week to keep the experience going for skiers. Snowplanet general manager Rojie Aguilar says the clean energy is a plus - and it will save the company power as well. "It covers 30 percent of our overall power bill, because we're a 24-hour operation. So during the day, it covers the whole - if it's sunny, obviously - the whole environment."
