Why MetroSolar

Metro Solar brings together Pioneer Manufacturing Limited and Dux Australia. These two companies are both market leaders in their own fields with proven technical design and manufacturing capabilities and specialise in ECO friendly yet technically oriented consumer products.

Metro Solar is a division of Pioneer Manufacturing Limited, New Zealands leading woodfire manufacturer and owner of the Metro brand. Metro has an extensive and highly competent retail network throughout New Zealand trained to service the ECO friendly yet technically complex products sold under the Metro brand, namely wood fires, pellet fires and solar systems.

Ecosmart is a trademark of Dux Australia who are market leaders in the design and manufacture of award winning hot water and solar systems. Metro Solar has specifically chosen the Ecosmart solar systems for the New Zealand market because of the systems emphasis on efficiency, simplicity and hassle free long life.

EcoSmart systems are very efficient and to maximize this efficiency we recommend in most situations using a direct solar circuit. This means the potable drinking water within the water cylinder is pumped directly through the solar collectors without the need for heat exchangers as this will continue to maximize efficiency. Ecosmart systems are simplistic and constructed to last the test of time with little ongoing maintenance required.
