About

The difference with AG Solar is that our business began with two local qualified electricians, Trent and Daniel, having a passion for renewable energy. They wanted people to receive reliable information without sales tactics in an ever-changing space, which has now become essential for everyone with a home or business. The need for this honest information, quality products and high level of customer service in their local area led them to teaming up to form AG Solar.
 
In renewable energy there is consistently new technology and research so we think it is important to be passionate about the industry and always learning new information for our customers. We want to be able to inform our customers about any needs they may have including electric vehicles/charging and solar battery storage. We think if we stay at the forefront of the industry our customers will reap the rewards and won’t be supplied with outdated information and products. 

 

AG Solar value customer service and will ensure the process is straightforward, which begins with directly speaking to either Trent, Daniel or trained in-house employees. You will also have one of our four electrical in-house teams do your installation, not just any contractor that arrives. With over 20 years combined Solar experience we can design and install the perfect system for your individual requirements.

Would do it again with AG.

Great service from initial inquiry explanation of the deal and design to installation and post installation support. We were well informed, they answered all our questions and accommodated our particular site’s demands. Friendly and intelligent installers.
Very pleased with the whole process. Thank you!

Faultless Installation!

AG Solar installed a 7.79kw solar system on my property in April 2024. The whole process from start to finish was faultless. During the quoting process I was offered multiple designs of various sizes and brands. I ended choosing 19 × 410W SunPower Performance 6 Panels, a Fronius GEN24 6KW Inverter (with backup PV point) and a Fronius Consumption Meter. The end result looks immaculate with no visible conduit (which was something I was very particular on). AG Solar’s service, workmanship and products are all of the highest standard. AG Solar aren’t the cheapest option but you get what you pay for. Highly recommended!

Glad that we went with AG Solar

We researched and then spoke with a number of solar companies, finally deciding on AG Solar. We found the customer service to be excellent, the discussions informative, and the entire process of installation easy and efficient. We are very glad we chose to work with them.

Excellent after sales service

Luke and the team arrived punctually and were very friendly to deal with, completing the install in a very diligent and professional manner in difficult weather conditions. The install required a little bit of follow up the next day but Joel and Callum provided some great service on this front and helped to complete the install. Several days on and the system is working well. We would not hesitate to recommend AG Solar!

We had a lot of rain and therefore a stop start process no fault of the installer. Overall they were great. We look forward to seeing the same quality of the products as we did with Zac and his team.

Sales quoting - Adam was patient, professional and helpful. Installation as mentioned above was hindered by rain but Zac and his crew were faultless - well nearly faultless they need to call when they want to come to the house. Customer service so far exceptional.

Great work

AG Solar came to give us a quote in an efficient timely manner. Although not the cheapest quote, they recommended quality products and set a convenient date for installation.

The installation team arrived as arranged and completed the job within the promised time. They were efficient, polite and friendly and left the site in a tidy condition.

Great attention to customer needs

There was a lot of discussion about tours of systems, placements and costs. AG Solar did a great job looking at all the options and designed a great system for us. Installation was quick and efficient.
So far ... Nothing but good news about AG Solar.
19 solar panels added to our existing plus a 10kWH battery

Thoughtful planning and great installers

The sales rep spent considerable time working with me online to sort which panels would be appropriate for different areas of our roof. In fact we had two types of panels installed. The young team took two days and were very polite and professional; a credit to AG Solar.

Good response time, but issues getting the installation right the first time. Technicians had to come back four times to get everything up and running.

Technical issues with the installation lead to repeated appointments at home.
Team was keen to get the issues solved and did their utmost.
It seems like issues were out of their control. They just had to fix them.
Customer service was good.

Efficient and Reliable

After initial contact by phone, I received an email requesting a recent electricity bill and a photo of our main electrical board.
A professionally prepared quote document was received by email within 24 hours and a phone call to confirm receipt of same. AG Solar provided me with 2 quotes on different capacity systems.
The quote documentation was clear and informative with links to additional information on the panels and inverter as well as reviews.
I rang/emailed the company a couple of times requesting additional information which were responded to promptly.
Agreement was reached, with an installation date and time agreed.
The 5 installers were prompt and were employees of the company, not contractors.
They completed the job without any issues (to my knowledge) and throughout were polite and tidy.

They have called me out of the blue a few times to see if i’m happy and to see how the solar is going. they said they will call me again when i get my next power bill to go over everything!

Solar Made Easy

A very good company to deal with from the quotation to the final installation. Everything worked like clockwork. These guys have it down pat. No issues recommending this company to anyone. The quotation was quick, factual and gave me what I was after. The installation was competed on the day as promised and everything was left the way they found it. Could not ask for anything more from their customer service. When I had a query they answered my question very quickly.

Ultimate Professionals

AG Solar were incredibly professional from the outset.
We were provided with two very informative quotes for consideration on both a small and larger system with very clear outcomes.
Their customer service was excellent; the installers were punctual and extremely personable and their work area was left spotless.
A couple of days after the installation we were provided with everything necessary for grid connection and warranty registration.
I will happily recommend them. We are very happy with our choice.

Great service. The system is now pumping!

Trent came out and, on inspection, made some small mods to the design. The Quote was extensive and simple to understand.
The boys arrived on time and kept the site tidy. The only issue they ran into was a lack of a five sided socket to remove the existing panels, originally installed by SolarShop some 13 years ago.
Couldn't log onto my inverter post-install, until Tori from the office told me I was logging in via the wrong server.
Once installation was completed, AG Solar got straight onto Origin to have my smart meter installed

From initial phone call to completion the whole process was fully explained and carried out in a timely manner.
I would highly recommend AG Solar for anyone’s future Solar needs.
Good to see an Australian company competing in a competitive environment employing local people who are committed to doing a good job.

Everything went as planned

The whole process was easy and straightforward. From quoting to discussing details to installation, it was smooth sailing. We were clearly told what to expect and when, and it all went exactly as planned. We had to move the installation for one day when we weren't in the house and they easily accommodated to that.
I couldn't recommend them more, it's very refreshing to receive this level of service with no issues, attitude, restrictions or dramas.

Amazing installer, super smooth quoting process, professional installation and amazing. customer service

AG Solar just installed our 8kW system and both the pre-install process, the actual installation and the customer service afterwards have been flawless. Your calls get answered, your emails are replied to, and every time these guys are on point, extremely professional and super friendly. Highly recommended!

Efficient and professional response.

Very quick and professional response to questions and knowledgeable. Was not the cheapest but the quality of the product and the service behind it swung us. They installed on the promised day even though the weather was not good. No problems since but early days yet
Probably would be good if they came and did a technical run through on all the operation and interpretation of the enphase app with suggestions on how we adapt to our new world. A bit of after sales bedding down would be good. May still happen. We have 24 Sunpower 380 black panels with enphase inverters 9.1 kw system.

10 months later we asked John: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"

. Yes. The summer months were exceptional and we have reduced our regular payment to approx 45% of the previous proposed payment plan and we have built up a credit with our energy supplier to cover the down period in the winter months. The system is performing to expectations but we went for a high spec model up front 9.2kw and 24 sunpower 380 panels with microinverters.

Great team. Great communication. Very happy with my system.

Quotes were via email and communication via email and text message. I was informed on acceptance of quote 10% was payable and the balance on installation day. Estimate was 5-6weeks from acceptance and installation occurred within that time frame.

Highly recommended

I bought a solar system through AG Solar who were professional throughout. They happily answered all my questions and questions and checks recommended by Solar Quotes. Their quote system was very clear and informative and their install team was in-house and not subcontracted. This was very important to me. The other company recommended by Solar quotes was equally good but my decision was based on the quality of panel and inverter quoted. I paid more than intended but was pleased overall as I know I got a quality system and quality install. Original ratings

Great communication and efficient service

Trent and his team were great to deal with. Our solar journey was a bit bumpy but not anything to do with Ag Solar who were always quick to respond to any queries and who were willing to meet any requests I had. Our electrical system was old and could not meet the demands of an upgraded solar system. Although this was communicated to all of the quoting companies, Ag Solar were the only ones who sent an L2 electrician (thanks Adrian) to actually look at the system on site. Google maps and photos can only give so much information. Sometimes an onsite inspection is required. Ag Solar dont sub-contract so all of the people I dealt with were pleasant, efficient and knew all aspects of the whole project. The grid connection was seamless as we already had solar panels and were upgrading. The installation team arrived on time and after a problem free installation they cleaned up thoroughly. Great work guys! A shout out to the office staff (Amber, Lilly) who were helpful both on the phone and by email. The main reasons I chose Ag Solare were that they were a local company and they didnt sub contract. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Very Professional service

It was very easy to get a quote and the installer was able to answer any questions we had before the installation. The installation itself was done very efficiently and in a very professional manner. It was installed and working within about 3 hours of their arrival. AG Solar organised all the paperwork to have the meter changed, and were very helpful with post-installation support.

Great Service, Highly Recommend

I recently had Solar installation done by Daniel and his team and am extremely happy with the result.
As the saying goes “you get what you pay for!”

From the detailed quotation and extremely helpful guidance from Daniel and Lilly, to the excellent work from the installation team this was overall a great experience.

Highly recommend AG Solar to anyone looking at taking the leap and getting Solar!!

Exceptional customer service

Purchased a 7kw system from AG Solar in early 2023. I dealt mainly with Daniel, who was great with the information he provided as part of the quote and also sent through several quotes on request from me for different systems configurations. The installation was smooth with good communication in the weeks leading up to installation date. The guys who attended was punctual and left everything in good order. Lastly, when I did notice an issue with the system after installation and the AG Solar team was extremely helpful in looking into the issue and we were able to come to a solution. My experience with AG Solar's customer service has been top notch and I have no hesitation in recommending them for anybody in the greater Sydney area.

So far so good

Information from Finn assisted me to start exploring and learning more about solar systems. I spoke with various companies, each of whom had something slightly different to offer. In the end we chose the biggest system we could afford, through a local provider, who offers good customer service so far. Our system is being installed next week. I'm unable to rate all areas of my experience yet as we haven't had the system installed. I am grateful for the guidance thus far.

Top quality products, great price, delivered everything they promised.

This is a local company and recommendations from multiple sources were all positive. The price was competitive however their product choices were higher quality than others. They delivered the system on time, they communicated very well and were very easy to talk to.

Wonderful system completed by a fantastic installer. Thoroughly recommended!

The quoting process was rather long primarily due to my fanatical need on crossing every t and dotting every i. But to AG Solar's credit, they kept at it and have produced a wonderful installation.

Great Service and quality product

Trent and the team at AG Solar were always very efficient with responses and changes to the proposed system throughout the quoting and preparation process. I initially had a quote performed 1 year earlier, but circumstances changed and wasn't able to proceed. When re-contacting Trent, he reviewed my original requirements and sent a new quote promptly. I then changed the size and location of the panels - again Trent was prompt and accommodating with the request, providing advice along the way.
I ended up changing from a 6.6kw system to a 9.8kw system after several reviews and colleagues suggested get more panels than you need, and I have the roof space to accommodate.
There were some delays getting the right sized inverter stock in Australia, however the AG Team kept me in the loop as to the progress and re-booked the installation once the inverted arrived.
The installation day, I was quoted of arrival between 7:00 and 8:00am - Trent and the install team arrived at 7:30am and got to work straight away. It seemed like no time at all and they were done, all cleaned up - like they were never here. A demo of the inverter and connection to my WiFi and they were no their way. AG also arranged the certifications and net meter installation with my provider then emailed me all documentation. I'm pretty happy with the professionalism of Trent and the AG Team, as well as the installation, that is neat and tidy and compliments the house.

Quality Installation team and quality product!

A great experience from start to finish. The installation team did a great job and great quality work. All the work was well executed. Customer service was awesome and their assistance to get the system connected was immediate.

I spent a lot of time researching solar companies and came to the conclusion to go for a quality product with quality installation. For the effort and cost it takes to get solar installed on your roof it is not worth selecting cheap panels/inverters and having problems down the track - especially when you are getting your investment back in power savings anyway!

I would 100% recommend AG Solar!

Great Experience

We used AG Solar to install our 8kw system. Although they weren't one of the recommendations, they do have a good local reputation and their reviews on SolarQuotes are also very good.

We ran through a number of options with them changing layouts, inverters and panel manufacturers and nothing was too much trouble for them with revised quotes usually received within an hour.

The installation was about 6 weeks after ordering, and the team on site were very good and explained the process on the day. Unfortunately they had to stop half way through due to a storm going through, but they completed they install 2 days later.

According to the app, they system is working well and producing suffcient power for our needs, with a good amount to export on days when we are out.

All round, very happy.

A solar win.

Exceptional Team, Worthy of a 5 Star Rating!

From start to finish, AG Solar provided a professional, prompt and comprehensive experience. Daniel was approachable and was more than happy to answer the questions I had during the sales/post sales phase. The team offer premium products which was what we were after.

The installation team was polite, punctual and easy going and provided a briefing on the operations of the system and answered all the questions I had.

The team at AG solar were also prompt with providing post installation support which I was impressed by. Appreciated the check-ins to see how the system is going and also instructions on dealing with the energy provider/retailer.

Overall, I would recommend AG Solar to those in Sydney/Illawarra wanting to make the leap into Solar! Keep up the great work team.

Outstanding Customer Service and After Sales Guidance

Daniel, Jye, Lilly, Amy and the whole team were fantastic to deal with from the start to after installation.
We received our quote relatively quickly and were given enough time to compare.
After comparing to other providers, we with with AG Solar.
They had a finance option that helped us.
We had to wait a few months for installation date to occur.
But we were constantly kept updated by the company on the install date and process.
We had a few queries about the Finance program but they were quickly answered.
On the day of install, the installers were very polite and the job was done within a few hours and the job site cleaned up afterwards.
We noticed a conduit that was a different colour to our colorbond and contacted the team, and they came back on another day to suit and painted the conduit to match our colorbond sheeting.
The team were also very helpful in explaining how to register for warranty and the app for checking on the solar power.
Great to work with a local team from the Sutherland Shire

Worth the wait

I obtained quotes from three highly regarded installers on the Solar Quotes website: to be honest separating them was very difficult as all three were detailed, the installers extremely helpful in answering questions, none were pushy and all within cooee (<10% difference) of each other in terms of price. In the end I adopted the following criteria;
1. Keep it simple, i.e., minimize the add-ons and functions.
2. Choose well known brands, i.e., consider how long have they been around and likely to stay around?
3. Has there previously been an issue honouring warranties and how does the company respond to valid user feedback/criticism?
4. Has the installer thoroughly covered everything in the quote?

AG Solar was prompt from the moment I expressed an interest in the system - Amy (Operations Coordinator) responded to an initial inquiry after 1630 on a Friday afternoon.
The quote was very complete and comprehensive. Although the figures used in financial analysis weren't quite right the rest was spot-on.
The quote was dated 28June22 for installation ~22Aug22. Quote was accepted and deposit paid 7Jul22. System installed 30Aug22.
A week in advance of the installation I received confirmation of the date and the time, 7-8am, to expect the crew. They arrive on time and promptly got to work: Scott and Federico did a great job, left nothing behind and were courteous and thoughtful throughout.
I had some issues with the monitoring system (entirely my fault) which were quickly rectified by Jye.
AG Solar's Lilly had the meter switch organized in short order (< 1 day)
The only fly-in-the-ointment had nothing to do with AG Solar: Energy Australia was tasked with the meter changeover and although it eventually took the contractor <30 minutes EA's communication was terrible.
