Who are the top 5 solar installers in Canberra in 2024?
Methodology
I looked at all solar companies in Canberra with at least 15 reviews on SQ in the last three years and ranked them on the highest average review score.
If scores were equal, the winner goes to the company with more reviews.
Top 5 Canberra Solar Installers
This year’s winners are:
First place: SunStak, based in Hume, with a score of 4.97/5 based on 16 reviews
Second place: Stored Solar, based in Beard, with a score of 4.95/5 based on 28 reviews
Third place: Huglo Solar, based in Mitchell, with a score of 4.78/5 based on 67 reviews
Fourth place: Solar4Life, based in Mitchell, with a score of 4.71/5 based on 49 reviews
Fifth place: ECG Electrical, based in Mitchell, with a score of 4.71/5 based on 48 reviews
Interview With This Year’s Winner – SunStak
We spoke with Richard Ko, one of the co-founders of SunStak, about why he thinks they took the top spot:
As a Platinum Enphase Installer and Tesla Powerwall Certified Premium Installer, we offer cutting-edge technology and reliable energy solutions. Our team of energy geeks loves empowering people with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their investments. Our bespoke service and consistent positive reviews highlight our dedication to customer satisfaction and genuine environmental change.
Specific Challenges With Canberra Installs?
We also asked Richard what he thought was unique about solar in Canberra:
Stringent local regulations and a strong focus on whole home electrification. The well-educated and loyal market here prioritises supporting local companies that are genuinely part of the community. We participate in programmes like the ACT Government’s Sustainable Household Scheme, offering zero-interest loans for energy-efficient upgrades, and ensuring all installations meet high regulatory standards. This approach not only addresses local demands but also fosters trust and reliability within the community.
If you’re considering solar for your home or business, my service provides up to 3 free quotes for solar, batteries, and EV chargers from installers I have personally pre-vetted and trust.
Fill in the form here, and I’ll connect you with great installers.
UPDATE: I mistakenly included Fased Solar as the third-place winner when they closed down in April – they have been removed, and ECG Electrical has been added as the fifth-place winner.

Finn,
That’s a very interesting post that you’ve made considering some of the companies in your list are not even in business anymore.
Consumers should also know if this is paid and unbiased advertisement, does not seem to be.
Grumpy,
Please provide specifics of which companies you claim have gone out of business.
No-one has paid us to put up this post. No one has ever paid for a post to appear on the SQ blog.
As the post says – the list is objectively based on average ratings – not anyone’s opinion (apart from the aggregate opinion of the reviewers expressed as an average rating).
Of course – some of the companies in the list (not the winner) are also in the ~500 strong SQ installer network and pay us for sales leads as described here when people go through the Get Quotes process.
Fased has been closed for a couple of Months
My bad. We have got a note on their account and review page that they closed in April – but somehow I missed it. Post will be updated.
Hey Finn and team,
Thanks for the recognition! We’re humbled to be featured among top companies in the ACT. We don’t acquire leads from Solar Quotes, so this recognition is especially meaningful as our clients have taken the effort to support us by leaving reviews on your platform.
We’re excited to continue installing solar panels, home batteries, air conditioning units, EV chargers, and heat pumps throughout the ACT.
We are dedicated to helping as many people in Canberra achieve energy independence.
Thanks to also our partners Enphase, Sanden and Tesla Powerwall to recognise us from a very early stage and believing in out commitments to delivering great customer service and quality products.
“… we offer cutting-edge technology and reliable energy solutions…..”
I spent the last 25 years of my employment in the ITC industry,LANS and WANs and there was a huge gap between advertising “cutting edge” and “reliable”, anything.
The saying around parts of the Industry was “let the Americans get the arrows on their backs”.
Being on the other side of the Pond, “reliable” was valued far ahead of “cutting edge”.
And with the global upgrade debacle the other day with corporates big and small starting to talk “damages”, only to be (tried to be) shut down by the Manufacturer by the talk of various clauses et al.
