Good quality installation
I got a Solahart SunCell system with a GoodWe inverter installed 12 months ago. The sales process was great and the salesperson actually listened to what I wanted out of my system and made some great recommendations that I hadn't thought of, nor mentioned from others.The scheduling of the installation took more back-and-forth calls than I'd hoped but we got it installed in a reasonable timeframe.
The best part is the quality of the installation. Everything was installed with care and a very neat quality installation with the installer making some tweaks on the day to ensure a quality install.
Overall I highly recommend them
Panel rating: 5/5

Draining
Very bad customer service. After you sign contract for solar all you do is chase them for information. Sloppy work by office personnel organising things. Conflicting stories between salesmen, office staff and installers. I thought I would buy local, big mistake.20 March 2020

Yes!26 August 2019
Adelaide Systems fantastic
From first phone call from Adelaide Solar systems and a visit from the sales representative, was really friendly helpful and informative. The sales person followed up right until after completion.The installation went really smooth. The installers were really friendly, polite, informative and very efficient.
Cannot fault the customer service at all.
The whole process from start to finish was a really good experience.

I ended up getting it installed a couple of months earlier than expected because of someone else cancelling. I am really happy with the system so far, and have found their service and communications overall to be really good. I had an issue with connecting the SMA to wifi and they quickly arranged a site visit to help me find a solution, rather than just telling me to google, which is sort of what I expected!
Highly recommend

Adelaide Solar Systems were the only company to want to view the site before installation.Evidently if your switch board is asbestos,ETSA will not have any thing to do with it and you will have to make another booking.Their deposit prior to installation was more than reasonable and no question was considered unnecessary.8 months later we asked Brian: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"

I had even emailed them our shed plan where the panels were to be installed. The third person I spoke to was so pushy, obnoxious and condescending, who more or less forced me to have an appointment where he would assess our needs over approximately 2 hours, (the shed was not yet installed, and our home was a building site) that I cancelled the appointment the next day as there was no way I would deal with a pushy salesman he was from the Mark Group) and I had already done extensive research.
The panels face direct north and there are no obstructions and never will be however his aim was to baffle us with bullshit I presume. The initial call went for 25 minutes, in which he blew his and his companies trumpet - totally nauseating.
So, I went back to the drawing board, and purchased a 5 kW system from Adelaide Solar Systems who are local, have very good feedback on all internet forums, and promptly supplied me with a quote and further information without hassle.So whilst getting the quotes via you was a waste of time, the information on your site contributed to our choice.

There now seems to be a host of other offers for systems that on the face of it would seem cheaper than what we purchased. However we may not be comparing apples with apples.Also used the Govt. green loan to help finance purchase
29 months later we asked John: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
A bit disappointed in the overall power produced.It is annoying that if we add to the system we lose the 52 cent feed in tariff from AGL.
Also we should have waited as the system we have cost $10000 that we are still paying off with a green loan and the smae thing is now available for $3000

Obviously, since the system is not yet installed, we cannot yet judge the quality. Nevertheless, the salesperson (Bill Eckermann) made every attempt to inform and explain as objectively and comprehensively as we were hoping for.19 months later we asked Tilman: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Overall: yes. Next year we will have a better idea. We would be interested to learn how many kw's anybody with a system comprable to ours ( we have 18 panels with 190 watts each) and in a similar location as ours ( i.e Crafers,SA.)with a similar orientation (i.e.WNW) has produced between May 2011 to May 201218 September 2012

I had three quotes of variable costs. I chose Adelaide because the salesman had at least the decency to get up on the roof and gauge the amount of shadow I could expect during winter. He was forthright and didn't try to blind me with figures. There were cheaper offers in the papers, but I feel confident that Adelaide will provide the goods,25 months later we asked Patrick: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
I wanted to have an extra 2 panels added to the north roof but the cost was 1500+.However we have not paid for electricity since installation and had a rebate of $180.00

To some extent though performance outside of summer has been less, than expected it may have something to do with our usage patterns06 September 2012

Installer turned up on time and installation went smoothly.27 months later we asked Neil: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Our system has performed really well since installation. It has returned an average of 5.5kw per day over 22 months.05 September 2012

I found Adelaide Solar Systems provided excellent customer service. This was very important to me as the all transactions were completed, including the required forms etc., while I was working in Afghanistan. They provided answers and information and went the extra yards to provide me with an excellent system.So top marks to Adelaide Solar Systems and Solar quotes who started me off on the right path. Well done and I would have no hesitation recommending both firms to anyone.
28 months later we asked David: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes has performed to expectations04 September 2012

27 months later we asked Greg: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Pretty much.
Fast! Still to get fully going with it to grid.
Can't say for sure yet, digital meter is not yet fitted, but the system seems to be covering what we use MOST days*, and I've seen the old meter turning backwards slowly at times too.Following going with the quote, the system was installed within 2 weeks, and took 1-1/2 days, s good team.
There are 11.2kw of solar panels (x27) with SolarEdge optimisers.
I have had trouble getting return calls with some questions re *pre smart meter behaviour of the system, but I would expect solar companies to be very busy right now pre end of year (it just bugs me a bit with the lack of a return call).
Anyway, thanks for the great site, youtube channel, blog, and quotes from your recommended installers, your info has helped guide me to the best option for us I feel.
