Happy customer.
Fantastic customer service. What an easy company to deal with. Firstly, Nora was fantastic and quoted (fast) and included recommendations and a drawing of how the solar would look.After a few months, I updated my home wifi and I couldn’t get the Datalogger to connect to the new wifi, so called Boost solar. Boost answered immediately (no waiting times) and Debbie was able to sort it out within 5-10mins. She messaged me via WhatsApp too so I could send screenshots.
I’m saving between 50-100 per month on my bills.

So good I used them twice!
Used Boost Solar to install a solar system on parents property. Had a terrific experience so used them again on our new property. The sales and quoting process was quick and very professional. The installation was polite, tidy and punctual. The customer service was excellent. Once the solar system was up, I received an email the next day from my energy provider that the grid connection was in the works and would be completed within a few days. I would deffos recommend Boost Solar to everyone looking for Solar.28 March 2024

Fairly cheap
They were the cheapest quote. It was a bit of a worry because you get what you pay for. But after careful consideration speaking with multiple solar installers. Hazel from Boost always had answers to my questions even silly ones. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. Once quote was amended and agreed upon installation was within a couple of days and completed on the day. Installers were friendly and site was cleaned but I haven’t managed to climb up the roof to check thoroughly.After installation was complete, Jacob called to make sure that everything was working fine and updated anything that needed to be done.
I would recommend going with Boost!

$47,000 in Repairs and Damages to a New Home
After reading many review we decided to go with Boost Solar because there was many good reviews so what could possibly go wrong? After installers arrive they couldnt really speak fluent english. We tried our best to talk to them in regards to the work.The install was carried out and damages to the guttering, roofing and concrete walls where noticed on the inspection. On further inspections damages could be noticed all thought the brand new home (3 weeks old). We had dented and scratched guttering to half of the lower top level roofing, we had dented panels from them-walking on parts ofthe roof there shouldn't be. We had damaged brickwork that they damaged and tried to silicone back together. We have conduit running cross ways along a roof into the roofing where they made the roof holes too big and siliconed the holes to cover them up. None of the conduits where run into the cavities and wall panels when they confirmed they would.
After quoting all the guttering , roof panels and the electrical work to rectify the issue we have a bill of $47,000 damages and repair work.
Think long and hard about this company, after admitting liability and damages they have avoided every phone call, ignored every letter to rectify the issue.

Cheap Installation but overall it was ok
6.6KWh system for $2700. Quick installation within 4 weeks. However no smart meter that allows full utilisation of the SolaX app. There is a smart meter from origin provided however doesn’t link into the SolaX app therefore bit pointless really. Aftermarket installation costs $800.Inverter rating: 4/5

Recommend Boost Solar
Everything was smooth and efficient - from the initial online quote and contract (Jacqueline), coordination of the installation (Jeff), the installation itself, and follow-up technical support (Jacob) - all went well. The system was up and running on the day of the installation and we are very happy with the whole process and result. I recommend this company.22 September 2023
Straight forward and easy process
The sales process proved to be quite straightforward and hassle-free. A family member referred me, and I was offered a discount. While there was some sales pressure, especially when I inquired about an alternative inverter and panel system as recommended by SolarQuotes, my request was dismissed in favor of their preferred SolaX and Seraphim panels. This made me a bit uneasy, but the offered quote was very competitive, so I proceeded with the contract.It's essential to carefully review the contract because initially, I was told to make a full payment before installation. However, the contract outlined progress payments, and I communicated this to Jeff, who promptly agreed to the adjusted terms.
I was impressed with the understanding and patience displayed by the Boost Solar team when I had to reschedule my installation twice. This level of customer service was greatly appreciated.
The installation of the 20 panels was completed in half a day, but I noticed some debris on the roof afterward, such as wrappers, cigarette butts, metal shavings, and cable ties. It's important to thoroughly inspect and clean the roof to remove all these remnants. I also discovered a couple of cracked tiles, which I had to repair myself. It's unfortunate that this was not mentioned earlier, but I understand it can be challenging to spot such issues when they are painted and exposed to direct sunlight.
On a positive note, the inverter was installed with great workmanship, and I am very satisfied with the quality of the work. Offering a 12-year warranty on the inverter and a 25-year warranty on the panels provides substantial peace of mind regarding the manufacturer's product quality. The quality of support from Boost Solar will only be known over time, should the need arise.
In summary, our overall experience was positive, and we highly recommend their services to others.

Very Happy
Recently had a 13.2kw system installed.Originally dealt with Mark who closed the sale and co-ordinates the install to my complete satisfaction.
The install all went to plan with the installers taking their time to position my panels in the most optimal directions generating a lot more power than I originally anticipated.
Following the install, I called back with some technical questions and spoke with Jacob who took ownership of my enquiry and went well beyond my expectations by offering me his direct contact details for any future enquiries.
May I conclude that in my opinion, Boost Solar’s presale and after sales service is to be commented and I would not hesitate to offer my recommendation to my friends and family.
Considering this level of service I feel reassured that Boost Solar will be around for a long time to assist in any further requirements.
Thanks Mark and Jacob

Fantastic experience
Amazing experience with Boost solar. Got solar system 6.6kw installed within a week. Travis, Jeff and Debbie were outstanding with their customer service.Sales and quoting process is the best, Travis is one of the best technical sales person i have seen in the solar industry, he had so much patience and knowledge to answer all my technical questions and non technical questions. I did ask about module efficiency, comparing different panel vendors and wealth of information provided.
No followups needed, installation was done perfectly and clean.
Post installation Debbie did all the follow up with my energy provider for grid connection and helped me to utilize the solar system quicker. Thank you Boost solar team!!

Exceptional Solar Panel Service and Installation Experience
Dear Boost Solar team,I wanted to express my sincere satisfaction with the outstanding service and flawless installation of my solar system. Your team's professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering a top-notch experience truly impressed me. I'm excited to see the positive impact on my energy bills and the environment.
I'm also thrilled to let you know that I was so happy with your service that I referred my brother to Boost Solar. He's already signed up this week and is looking forward to reaping the benefits of solar energy as well.
A special shout-out to Nora, who played a pivotal role in helping me make the decision to proceed with the project. Her knowledge, patience, and assistance were invaluable throughout the process. Thank you for a job well done!
Best regards,
Aaron

Extremely disappointed with my experience with Boost Solar
I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Boost Solar. They initially promised a 10-day installation (3-4 weeks in the agreement), yet more than four months passed with no visible progress. Repeated attempts to reach out went unanswered, with no clear timeline or updates provided. Their lack of communication was incredibly frustrating, and I can’t recommend them if you’re looking for reliability.Installation finally happened—but only after I waited 125 days and posted a 1-star review on Google. Unfortunately, installation day was even more chaotic. The installer demanded an additional $700, claiming the agreed-upon layout required 15 extra meters of wiring. Fortunately, I had shared photos of my house layout and electrical points before signing the agreement and had an email confirming there would be no extra charges.
After the installation, staff from Boost Solar contacted me, insisting I immediately change my review to 5 stars. I explained that I wanted to verify everything first, but just three days later, they began pressuring me again, even saying I was “doing wrong” by not updating my review. I responded that if I could wait 125 days, they could certainly wait a few hours. Then someone higher up from Boost Solar called, claiming they had upgraded my system due to the delay and had waived the additional charges, and he asked me to revise my rating. When I told him I had only received what was originally agreed upon, he became confrontational, warning me of “consequences” if I didn’t comply and threatening that I would regret it. He even sent a WhatsApp message threatening a defamation lawsuit and called me “shameless” over the phone.
Then they claimed he had recordings of our conversations and would present them in court, so I encouraged him to do so for transparency. I even invited him to share those recordings publicly for clarity. He then threatened to withhold servicing of my solar equipment and said he’d blacklist my name with other solar providers. When I reminded him of their obligation to provide service as per our agreement, he taunted me about my net meter not being connected yet, implying I wouldn’t benefit from feed-in tariffs.
Since then, I have also had trouble accessing the SEMS portal to monitor my solar system’s performance. After multiple emails requesting assistance, I received no response until they called me again on 26-Nov-2024—this time to pressure me into removing my review, rather than addressing the issue with the portal. To make matters worse, the equipment information that was previously visible on the SEMS portal has mysteriously disappeared, leaving me unable to monitor the system's performance at all. This sudden and unexplained missing data is deeply concerning.
This behavior continues to be unprofessional and only adds to my frustration.
Initially, my review stemmed from frustration over the delay and lack of communication. After the installation, I had planned to verify everything and update my review once I returned from personal leave, as I rarely leave reviews, especially negative ones. However, the pressure and intimidation I’ve faced since then have been disturbing. I now feel strongly that my review reflects my honest experience, and no one should be pressured or intimidated into leaving a favorable review. Genuine feedback should be respected.
