In 1984 Power Technology began trading in New Lynn, distributing active and passive electronic components to New Zealand Electronic OEM exporters. Through our market research, strong connections and professional service we quickly grew to offer deeper and more diverse technologies. In 1995 the company moved to its current, purpose-built facilities in Henderson.

Thirty years after opening our doors we remain a leader in the design and distribution of electronic components, batteries, UPS, power systems, and renewable energy – trusted by major resellers and manufacturers throughout the country.

Power Technology has been operating in the solar sector for 15 years, with more than 750kW of panels supplied to residential, industrial and OEM consumers. Over the past decade there has been a rapid uptake of solar technology in the international community. This boom led to huge advances in technology and manufacturing techniques. It also led to unscrupulous manufacturers and salespeople flooding the market with inferior equipment, such was the case in Australia in 2010. To avoid the snake oil, insist on Tier 1 panels, top of the line inverters and a company with a history longer than the length of your investment.

Power Technology has strong relationships with our suppliers and work tirelessly to meet our customer’s schedule and budget – without lowering our expectation for the highest quality products. If there is a new product that will add value to your operation or a supply chain issue that is slowing your business down, contact Power Technology today and see what we can do for you.
