Fantastic EcoSmart Energy Group
We have found dealing with this company has been a very positive experience from the beginning. They gave us a great quote for our system. The communication has been fantastic. They answered our emails and calls promptly.The installer and the team were punctual, tidy and very polite. They gave me important information.
They organized the grid connections and communicated with our electricity provider promptly.
I would definitely recommend EcoSmart Energy Group.

A positive experience
I decided to delay a review for a while because time lends perspective.After five weeks I'm getting used to how my system operates so it's time for the review.
The sales/consultation/quotation process was detailed, informative, friendly and free from overt pressure. ( any sales person worth their salt has to promote their product which is fine )
The installation team was delayed by about half an hour on the first day for which I received an explanatory telephone call well before they were due to arrive.
I used to install and maintain telecommunications equipment so I recognised the signs of an experienced competent team who each knew what their roles were and just got on with their jobs. There were some small variations on the original plan ( roof panel orientation for instance due to the roof structure ) over which I was consulted before the variation was carried out..
I was extremely impressed with the post completion clean-up. No rubbish was left behind.
I have no regrets having Ecosmart install my solar system and would happily do so again.
07 November 2023
Very happy with my purchase.
The sales and quoting process was on a par with other companies.The decision to go with EcoSmart was based on a slightly better price.
The installation team was professional and well organised.
I was consulted on equipment locations, cabling method and appearance of the installation.
Customer service was very good and the crew left no mess behind on departure.

Seamless transition to solar
Personally, I found the process of researching solar, dizzying and consuming, with so much information online regarding solar and everything associated with it. I decided to get three quotes through SolarQuotes and all the quotes were comparable in price with obviously different configurations, different brands of panels and inverters. Reviews of all companies were favourable and I felt like I could have put all three quotes on a dart board and blindly chosen one as they were all great, but what sealed it in the end for me was twofold, Adams quoting process and design of the quote. It was easy to understand, with a number of options, not overly loaded with screeds of information, and secondly Adam was able to articulate all the information well enough so that I (a total noob) was able to get a good grasp on everything either through follow up calls or emails.Once I had chosen EcoSmart, Mellissa took over the reigns and advised/guided me on the administrative process, what needed to be done, who needed to be contacted (grid connection etc) and they were both easily contactable if I had any queries (or they got back to me quickly if they couldn't take my call or email response was within 24 hrs).
I was not expecting my solar to be installed so quickly realising that it may be sometime after Christmas (I was fine with that, it would give me more time to save) but a gap came up in their calendar and they were able to install within two weeks of my decision to install solar with them, and we should be connected to the system shortly (waiting on energy retailer to update electricity meter)
The solar installers (led by Matt) were diligent, professional and hard working and are part of a great team system which made the whole process seamless. Thanks Adam, Melissa and Matt

Wished we had done this sooner.
My other half had been talking for years about getting solar, but I had reservations because of some shading issues on our roof and it not facing the preferred northerly aspect. However he talked me around and after contacting SolarQuotes and getting the usual 3 quotes, we decided to go with EcoSmart.Adam was terrific and spent lots of time advising about the right size system for our property/situation and going through the pros and cons of the various components.
I have been more than happy with the outcome! The system (after one month) is generating spot on what Adam presented in the simulations and cant wait for the long hot summer days to see what it is generating.
The installation team were great, very professional and tidied up afterwards.
Melissa was very efficient organising all the paperword for the grid connection and smart meter installation.
The follow up has been great as well, with a couple of initial wifi issues sorted out.
Would definitely recommend EcoSmart.

Should have upgraded earlier
My experience with ecosmart was nothing short of exceptional. The sales and quoting process was clear, streamlined, and genuinely helpful. I appreciated how straightforward it was to understand their offerings and how they could meet my needs. I got 6 quoted before settling on what I thought was the most sensible and cost effective. The system is up and running now and we are very pleased with its performance.When it came to installation, the team truly outdid themselves. Not only were they punctual, but Ash and his team were friendly and efficient in getting the job done in less than a day. They were polite, treating my space with respect, and their tidiness was commendable. What stood out was their care as I remember I was working near the eaves and an attentive worker warned me to step back as he was cutting aluminium and was concerned for my safety. It’s evident that they take pride in what they do, and the results were brilliantly executed.
As for the customer service, I was immensely impressed with Adam and Melissa in organising and planning. When I had a question, they were prompt in their response. Their dedication to ensuring customer satisfaction is evident, and I can confidently say they achieved it with me.
Would highly recommend ecosmart to anyone seeking solar installation from start to finish!

Good Service and Follow Up
I had a SolarEdge system installed well over twelve months ago. The invertor unfortunately faulted and I didn't realise for a few months, however, once I realised and got in contact with EcoSmart Energy Group and I was surprised at their level of support. They were happy to help and went to every effort to make sure the invertor was replaced as quickly as possible at no cost to myself and installed before Christmas which is a busy time for solar installers. Overall, I would have no problem recommending EcoSmart Energy group due to their on-going service.Panel rating: 5/5

Very happy with the entire process of installing solar with Eco Smart
At all stages the people I dealt with were super helpful and responsive. Everything was explained very well, and the booking process went smoothly. The installers on the day were also fantastic. My system was up and running with the minimum of fuss and no hitches. I'm really pleased I chose this company and would highly recommend them.30 November 2022
Professional and quality company
Used this company twice. Cannot fault their professionalism, customer service and quality workmanship.25 November 2022
Very happy with our choice

Professional service
Great to deal with Adam from EcoSmart who took the time to help us sort out our energy supplier.Our solar system was installed 4 years ago by EcoSmart without issues and has been saving us money ever since.
They are focused on doing the job properly and making sure everything is working as promised even long after the installation. It's not easy these days to find trades people that turn up as arranged and do what they say they will do.
No hesitation recommending them to anyone looking for a trustworthy supplier to supply & install their system.

Excellent Customer Service
We went to 4 different local solar companies to get quotes and relevant information.Adam and the team at Ecosmart were very easy and friendly to deal with in every aspect. The whole quoting process was clearly explained to us all the way thru. The pros and cons of their range of solar panels and inverters were outlined, so that we could then make a well-informed final decision that fit within our budget.
So, we then chose to go with them.
The installation went very smoothly - and everything to do with the grid connection and setting up of our solar system was handled by Ecosmart in a timely manner.
Several weeks after the system was installed there was a problem that caused it to shut down.
A techo came out shortly after one phone call - and the problem was rectified straight away.
Eco smart also gave us a courtesy follow up call a couple of months later - just to see how our solar system was performing and if we were happy with it.
Dealing with them has been a very easy, customer friendly and hassle-free process.
We have recommended Eco smart to our sister-in-law - and she has also purchased a solar system from them as well.
All in all, a great company to deal with.

Great Job
Solar panels and inverter installed 2020. Very happy with the job, not so happy with the poor input tariff from energy company for power put into the grid. Decided to install a battery in 2020 because the poor feed in tariff and chose ExcoSmart again because of the great job they did previously.The installers were great. Communication wasn’t always great but once the cause of the communication problem was identified, the subsequent communication was excellent. Very happy with the end result.
Initial problem with what battery would be installed but quickly sorted out by EcoSmart

An Exceptional and Highly Professional Energy Group
The Team of Adam & Melissa Carroll made the whole process from prompt attendance of the first appointment, though the no hard sell of the sales approach right through to the very competitive final quoting outcome.The professional advice and support provided by this group's leadership team was exceptional and uncompromised by them.
They arranged our Solar and Battery System requirements for our New Home Build, and all was installed by very capable, polite and efficient trades personnel who completed the work on time and without fuss, cleaning up as they worked.
I highly recommend the EcoSmart Energy Group to any future purchaser of a quality Solar System and or Home Battery Back Up requirements all provided and installed at very competitive pricing by excellent trades people.

Really good installation by helpful people.
Sales and quoting was professional and they were happy to make sure it looked good as well as being functional. Installers were very good. Efficient, helpful and had time to talk and answer my questions. EcoSmart provided all the specific instructions I needed for connection ... very easy. Thank you EcSmart.8 months later we asked Craig: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"

Quality system with a hiccup.
All things with Eco Solar were very good, even if a bit on the expensive side but, you get what you pay for as they say and this is a good system. Communication was excellent and clear at every step. I got an early install with a cancelation too which was a bonus. And was installed a day quicker than allotted. They know the industry and answered questions well.However, after having to go on the roof for another issue, I found their contractors had broken a ridge tile on the roof and had made a temporary repair. A few other standard tiles had been broken but were replaced. Let’s face it, on a concrete tiled roof with a 6’5” installer you are bound to lose one or two tiles! After reporting the poor workmanship, EcoSmart were equally disappointed and did all in their power for a speedy and professional repair addressing the guilty party, who visited to apologise. Apologies were made repeatedly and the problem rectified satisfactorily. Follow up communication by them since has been excellent.
No business out there will be problem free sadly, but I judge a company on how they fix mistakes. Would I recommend EcoSmart? Yes, but it is prudent to inspect work, whoever you use, as often businesses are at the mercy of contractors.
After this episode and the grilling the contractors received, they should now tick all the boxes.

Good family run business with competent staff.
Quoting process was good. Comprehensive discussion with Adam the owner of the business, who was knowledgeable and nice.Installation was prompt, all involved were polite and punctual.
Customer service was good, and arranged all grid connection after the installation promptly.

Quality overall facets
Quoting was prompt ,listened to our needs and provided a few options to consider at our leisure. No pressure to sign up.Installation was on the day they promised. They removed the old system installed the new and replaced a couple of cracked tiles that they noticed
Grid connection existed so there was no change

Excellent flow of events with installer but stalled at the transfer/update with provider stage
Ecosmart Energy group provided a factual, practical service thru their rep Marty who provided a sound and competitive quote.The workmen on site were prompt, courteous and efficient.
Admin (Melissa) was ok but sent us another customer's invoice before we received our own. We paid promptly on the day of completion but had to contact them two days later for the certification and info to send to our supplier. this was supplied at the end of the day on a Friday, making it impossible to lodge with the supplier before the following week.
Today, we contacted the supplier who said that their inaction on reconfiguring the meter was due to a lack of information on the type of inverter installed by Ecosmart. We have lodged a complaint with the supplier (Momentum) on their lack of communication on this issue (info lodged 3 weeks ago). Melissa sent through the relevant info for us to pass on to the supplier but blamed Marty for the missing detail. We found the passing of the blame irrelevant and unprofessional.
8 months later we asked Geoff: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Due to variations in heating/cooling demands, occupants in the household, and my wife having installed an electric kiln to fire ceramics, 12 months is still too early to gauge the overall benefit of the solar panel installation. However, I would say that bills are approximately 50% less than those prior to installation.03 March 2022
These guys take pride in their work!
After receiving three reasonably comparable quotes, EcoSmart Energy Group followed up with a call, explained their process, their trusted and CEC certified installers, their panel options and their own test facility and their point of difference. As someone who had never previously had solar installed, I felt assured they could be trusted to do the right thing, and they exceeded my expectations.The installation is neat and tidy. The installers clearly genuinely care about their work, because the final finish is second-to-none. They were punctual, polite, and kept the area clean and tidy. A solar installation may operate the same between different installers, if the final finish and presentation is important to you, I would recommend EcoSmart Energy Group. The installer could have installed something that remains within the standards and will function normally, but my family and I will be the ones living with it, and I'm very happy with the finish and attention to detail.
From my experience having built a home, I know the experience can hinge upon individual trades, and I couldn't speak highly enough of my experience with everyone EcoSmart Energy Group.

Overall satisfactory, communication shortcomings noted, be mindful of the upsell
Picked Ecosmart on the basis of availability for a tight installation window over summer. They were neither the cheapest nor the most expensive, but the only installer who quoted me and could complete the installation within a three week window.Initial contact was helpful and polite (especially with uncertainty over borders). I was then handed over to the owner as the initial customer facing person was on leave. The owner took every opportunity he could to upsell over what I had requested (talked me into different panels and increasing panel numbers and inverter size), which I eventually agreed to based on the owner's insistence that the additional panels would fit on the roof, and some other arguments about anticipated usage.
I'm not new to solar - I had a pretty good idea about what I needed from four previous installations. The upsell was clearly not needed, but at a relatively marginal cost (an extra 15%) I was prepared to consider it and was persuaded by the owner to spend the extra.
Upon arrival, the install team found that the larger, upsold system wouldn't in fact fit, and I decided to proceed with the originally quoted system. Owner kept trying to keep the upsell and talk me into alternative roof placements which I had indicated I did not want. Upon reflection now that the system has been installed, the additional panels/inverter capacity on the upsold system were clearly well in excess of anticipated need, which was openly disclosed to the owner.
I am glad I stood my ground with what I wanted, but could imagine a less confident consumer being talked into something they did not need.
The installation itself was very quick - took 3h less time than indicated. I didn't get the opportunity to inspect or take photos of the install myself because the ladders were packed away when the installers came to tell me they were leaving. Ground level was tidy - I can't say for the roof because I don't know and don't have a ladder high enough to get up and look.
To cap it off, the inverter was mounted nearly 2m off the ground (unnecessarily as there was plenty of space; and undesirably in my opinion), partly because the installer was well over 2m tall and it didn't seem to register that a shorter person like myself might have to use a stepladder to review settings etc, and partly because it was the option that used the least conduit.
I was consulted about general location for the inverter, but not about how high off the ground it should be installed. If there was an operational reason for it being mounted so high off the ground, then I wasn't told about it.
Communication about what to expect post installation was a bit hit and miss, and there have been some issues with the system since the meter was swapped out.
The installer has responded to emails since the installation, so the after sales followup has been satisfactory.
I will say to balance the shortcomings that the owner was kind enough to offer a full refund on the deposit in the event I was not able to make it into SA give the uncertainty over border closures at the time of the initial enquiry. They were not the only installer who offered this (two other installers did as well) but EcoSmart were the only ones who agreed to refund in full if borders closed or there was some other reason for a delayed/cancelled entry due to becoming ill from COVID-19. The other installers would only credit to a future installation, which would not have been possible on my end for another year at least.
Overall, it's been a satisfactory experience compared to other systems I have had installed elsewhere.

Ignore you, unhelpful when it's their fault
We have been going back and forth for years now with this company. They installed our system. Did a good job but we couldn't work out why our bills were still high. Never having solar before we didn't know what was going on. After quite some time we got fed up winter was over and still our bills were high. Got the company to come out and check it. We find out only half the system is working. They didn't connect the other half. So problem fixed. Looks like we get reimbursed for their mistake ....hahaha. Now then they find another problem and are going to help work out what's going on. No. Then some ones going to come out and check it but covid strikes so we understand nothing's going to happen for a while. Well its near 4 years now. Every time we send an email or ring they never return phone calls or emails. Last email we got a generated message saying they were on long service leave. That was months ago and here we are years on still no contact. So no I would not bother with this company it seams Money is the motto. We are patient people but when you are walked on its not fair.07 December 2021

Go solar
All good. Really quick and efficient. Panels were on just a week after accepting the quote, and installers were delightful.8 months later we asked Rebecca: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes, it's brilliant. I had to change energy providers - definitely worth shopping around here. I called "go switch" and haven't paid a bill since, and am in credit.Solar still seems a bit of a no-brainer to me. You won't regret it.
And there's nothing to go wrong, really, so nothing has!

EcoSmart gets the tick of approval
Our solar was installed yesterday. Throughout the enquiry process, through the quoting and planning stage, this company have been great. A sincere personalised approach helped. The negotiations included a roof inspection and assistance in preparing the roof for installation.We were given updates along the way and installation went ahead as agreed. They were punctual and efficient with the install and there was constant discussions to keep us in the loop at each stage.
EcoSmart have organised for my energy supplier to organise a meter upgrade. Great service so far. Very happy with EcoSmart

Marty visited our house in Goolwa and provided us with excellent advice and suggestions to suit our situation. We felt very comfortable choosing Ecosmart as our preferred choice of solar installer.The installers were punctual, polite and efficient and we were connected to the grid on the day.

Smooth installation.
The initial visit for quotation purposes provided quite a bit of useful background with an actual example and the quote came in with a variety of options to select from. The information, pricing and T&C's were clear and informative, and questions we quickly and concisely followed up.The whole process from there was pretty simple, installation was done over a couple of days and the guys arrived when they said and kept me in the loop about what was happening. Any mess was cleaned up, they didn't damage anything in the process and otherwise put everything back as it was. Being a new house the grid connection was easy and the user manual and other information I received after the final invoice was comprehensive as well. Very happy with the whole process!

Very straightforward company to deal with
Because we have had solar before, on our previous home, we knew exactly what we wanted by way of size, orientation, etc.so did not require lots of alternatives from bidders. EcoSmart was the only company which physically inspected the site situation rather than relying on Nearmaps, and they quoted promptly as per our request. Their price was competitive for very similar gear. Then they turned up on the day nominated to do the install. All done in a few hours, very neatly, and they cleared away all their rubbish. They also helped with the applications to our retailer for grid connection.One of the three installers nominated by SolarQuotes never contacted me, but I also obtained two other quotes not thru Solar Quotes.
To date, very happy we went with EcoSmart.
8 months later we asked Philip: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Nine months later, performing as expected, and hassle-free. Have had a couple of queries to installer Eco-Smart over that time about better understanding the data, which they happily answered to our satisfaction. Also, on request, they sent me some photos they had taken of the installation.I get weekly production reports from Fronius in Excel format which I can compare to our power bills and it gives very comprehensive information on how the system is performing and how much money we are saving. I estimate the system will pay for itself in just under three years.
On an after-note, we had a very similar size system on our previous property for about three years, but with an SMA inverter. With that system we had a fair bit of trouble with the inverter and at one stage it had to be replaced under warranty. The installer for that job was an absolute pain-in-the-arse. A pleasure to deal with Eco-Smart this time around.

Best service
The sales quoting process was made so seamless by Finn Peacock. After I received quotes I then went back to Finn peacock for help with evaluation.Ecosmart was my chosen supplier. Very nice sales person who explained everything without being patronising. The men that turned up to install where exceptionally polite, respectful and very efficient. Overall it was a very easy and painless process.

All round best deal
Response from all 3 companies was quick and efficient. 2 companies quoted by phone and using google earth. (or similar) I really appreciated Ecosmart’s personal service and visit to my home. This made a major difference to me. Marty explained things in an easy to understand way. His service pre and post sale have been exceptional. The products offered by all 3 companies were the same or very similar. Ecosmart had the best price. Price and exceptional personal service made Ecosmart an easy choice for me.16 September 2020
Great Installation!
The initial explanation with Ecosmart Energy Group, about changing to solar was highly informative and the choices of system clearly explained. The range of options allowed for cost optimization and return on investment. The installation was able to be carried out almost immediately after the quote provided was accepted and carried out in a professional manner. Once installed, the installing electrician provided a detailed explanation of the system and the next steps required to have the meter changed. This included an explanation and demonstration of the mobile telephone App. which monitors the effectiveness of the system. After a failed and frustrated attempt to contact my energy provider to have the meter changed, Ecosmart advised that this was also part of the service provided. Would not hesitate in recommending Ecosmart Energy Group to anyone seeking the optimize their energy usage.
Eco Smart best in the business!
