Great Teamwork
The installation in Ballarat yesterday went absolutely according to plan. Team arrived at 7am, assessed work site and commenced shortly afterwards. All staff knew their tasks and work effectively to complete the job by mid afternoon. Currently awaiting inspection, but have been shown the on-line portal for monitoring the system.Job site left clean and tidy.

A Quality Install
Very happy with our installation with no issues to date. The team worked well together and were reliable, tidy & professional at all times. Thanks to all the team & especially to Travers who ensured all tasks were dealt with in a friendly efficient manner. Quoting & administration were conducted promptly & responded to very quickly.Battery rating: 5/5

Great service
I learnt a lot through the quoting process. The installation was very smooth and the guys that did the install were great. They connected it to the grid but I'm currently still waiting for the inspector to come and give the final signoff and turn the system on.20 October 2024
Smooth installation and great customer service
During the quoting process, Cam is able to give a concise detail and provide good recommendations that fit my requirements. He was also not pushy and allowed me time to think through the options. Then, the installation has been smooth and they also helped with organising the grid connection after install. Cam is also great in answering questions during and after installation.05 October 2024
Good Advice, Great Service
Evo Solar was great from start to finish. Cameron's on-site pre-quote inspection gave advice about using or roof space to achieve greater performance and efficiency and options for siting the battery.Jos and his team carried out an extremely efficient installation process. They were on time, kept us informed about what they were doing and left our property in a very tide state, even mopping floors.
Evo provided advice on completing necessary documentation for the grid connection and followed up to ensure we understood how to use the system.
Highly recommend.

Perfect Service - Choose These Guys
Amazingly professional and helpful service. Cam gave lots of advice and guidance (and a few re-quotes) before we had even agreed to sign with his company. He was friendly and professional and responded quickly to enquiries. The solar panels were installed soon after signing and the installation and removal of old panels was super quick. The tradies left the job site perfectly clean. Evo Solar also took care of all the paperwork for rebates after explaining them all carefully to us. Cam's communication throughout was excellent and he stayed in contact until the app readings were all working properly and we were satisfied. Very happy that we went with Evo Solar as the starting process was a little overwhelming with not knowing who to go with or who you could trust. Thanks Cam and team. Could not recommend enough.18 September 2024
Excellent team, good communication
Sales and quoting was done through phone and email - was OK, but used Google Maps to suss out roof positioning, and didn't realise there were some small issues that were only picked up at install.Install was great, wet day and the team were brilliant, got it all done in unfavourable conditions.
Still going through connection process, just had electrical inspector sign-off with no issues.

Very good
From initial response with tender quotes, Cam was very helpful and spared the time to go into detail re; our queries. Installation was on time, a good team involved and very courteous.21 August 2024
EVO solar equals quality workmanship and competitive pricing.
The products installed by EVO Solar were a Tesla Powerwall 2 battery and Tesla Wall Connector.Cam, at EVO Solar, was very prompt at replying to my sales inquiry and provided a very competitive quote.
His office staff helped guide me through the Solar Vic battery Loan process and were always available to answer questions. In their absence, Cam always returned my calls.
Jos, the installer was excellent at communication and updates in the lead up to the installation day. He and Joel were punctual, friendly and their workmanship was of an extremely high standard.
Jos went through the commissioning process of both items and was only too happy to answer any questions.

Great start to finish
Great and knowledgeable business to deal with start to finish.29 May 2024
Fantastic hassle free installation
Cam and the team at Evo Solar are awesome. Cam was patient and detailed when going through the quote process. Jos, Trav and the team on site were friendly, helpful, neat and just the kind of crew you want to have around a major install. Everything went as planned with no surprises, all questions were answered and they were patient when showing us how everything works.Even the office staff, Toni and Rosalind are great, friendly and very efficient.
Working with trades people you can trust is very satisfying and stress free. Thanks guys!

Satisfied Customer
Cameron and his office staff and installers did a great job. I would recomend them to anyone wanting to install solar panels24 April 2024
Very professional
Everything was explained when I requested a quote. The quote was not the cheapest but the quality of materials that they use convinced me that was the way to go.I found the team that do the installation were professional, polite, tidy and friendly. They turned up on time and seemed to get on with the job. I was kept in the loop as to what was going on and they were happy to answer any questions I had.
The installation was only finished yesterday, so I still have to wait for the inspection to complete it all.
Apart from the solar system they also installed a split system, hot water pump, and induction stove in two days.

Job well done
Evo Solar was very good to deal with. Installation was carried out in an efficient manner. The site was left tidy and no tiles broken!15 February 2024
Fantastic company, very clean installation.
Couldn’t be happier with the process of getting solar from Evo Solar.From initial contact through to a flawless installation, the entire process was no pressure, educational and professional.
Cam helped us understand our options in plain English, explained the impact of various changes, and was happy to build multiple quotes so we could find a system that suited us. There was no sales pressure, and lots of patience.
The tradespeople that conducted the install were punctual, friendly & professional, and left the house / roof cleaner than when they arrived! Installation is very neat and tidy.
Will be going back to Evo Solar when the time comes for an EV charger.

If you’re in Geelong, choose EVO Solar
Cam, Toni & the team were incredible to deal with. Every call, question or request was met without hesitation and everyone was great.So many options were given with great detail, for someone who doesn’t know much about solar they made it all so simple. Didn’t push paying for more than what we could afford and gave us everything we needed!
Installers were clean, efficient and polite! Couldn’t recommend more for solar.

Excellent installer who takes the time to listen and explain
Cam from Evo Solar provided 3 different scenarios for our solar install, including pros and cons for each option. He did a site visit and explained the options very clearly- we are not able to afford a battery just yet, but wanted a robust solar system that could accomodate battery storage and EV car charging in the future.We opted for a 12.9 KW system and a 10KW Gen24 Fronius inverter with Trina 400W panels. The inverter was not available so we waited 8 weeks for it to be released. In that time, Trina released 440W panels, and Cam upgraded to those at no extra cost. This bumped our system up to 13.2KW.
The install was very neat- the installers were all Evo Solar employees (not contractors). The rails were installed without requiring any extra access holes in the roof. Install was interrupted by some severe weather, but the team returned on the weekend after to complete the job.
Evo Solar took care of liaising with my power company and wholesaler.

Evo Solar were excellent - great experience from start to finish
The whole process of working with Evo Solar was excellent from pre-sales, through installation to after-sales service.Within minutes of my initial conversation with Cam, I had a series of options all fully quoted, diagrammed and with contracts ready to electronically sign.
The installation went perfectly smoothly. The installers were efficient and friendly and informed us of what was happening throughout the process.
The customer service from EVO is come of the best I have had the pleasure of experiencing. Communications were timely and friendly. All aspects of the installation were taken care of, not just the installation, but ensuring that both the power grid and my retail provider were informed and establishing my service promptly. The after-sales service has also been excellent with follow-up questions being handled brilliantly.
Cam is clearly running an incredible business at EVO and everyone clearly understands their role and the value they add to the client. Cannot recommend enough.

Original Review on 02-03-2023:
Quality Remains When Price is Forgotten
The "salesperson" for EVO Solar is Cam a local licenced electrician servicing Geelong and Surf Coast. He was not only talks the talk but walks the walk. He uses personally Sunpower Maxeon 6 AC PV cells with the Enphase iQ7A microinverters and recommended these for my moderately treed installation site. The concept of AC from the roof rather than DC and microinverters to mitigate voltage drop for intermittent shading was appealing. Both product and workmanship warranty 25y and suitable for salt water environment. Sure other systems were quoted and cheaper but the quality remains when price is forgotten. Remember - you buy cheap you pay twice!Installers Travis and Ben were punctual, professional, cheerful and proficient. Very happy to have used EVO Procam and grateful for the advice from Finn Peacock from SolarQuotes. Now hanging out for the Enphase bidirectional EV charger, a potential game changer I suspect.
10 months later we asked Graham: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
The system as installed has functioned perfectly. Finn's and EVO Solar recommendations were great. To date I have exported over 6MWh for the usual paltry rates. When the Enphase Bidirectional EV charger becomes available - it will be a welcome addition but only if at an affordable price. Money that would have gone into a Tesla Powerwall II will then be allocated to the Bidirectional charger and an EV with at least an 80kWh battery.

Fantastic experience. Cam was friendly, knowledgeable and able to explain complicated things in a way I could easily understand.
Cam was by far the most knowledgeable person to provide a quote and was not at all "salesy". Listened carefully to my requirements and clearly explained why the setup he recommended would be the best overall result, this was not the cheapest system I was offered but provided what I needed.Cam and his team were incredibly responsive and provided clear and regular communication throughout the entire process. Even when the installation team commenced work Cam was still in regular contact.
The installation team were incredibly professional even under very trying conditions and involved us in the installation process so we could have input when unexpected little complications arose.
Could not be happier with the service from Evo Solar....would encourage anyone to use them.

The discusion around what system I would purchase was informative and helped me chose the system that was finally installed
The sales/quoting process was thorough and very explanatory, with out being overly complicated or overly technicalThe installation crew were polite and tidy in the way they went about the installation.
The crew missed their arrival time by only 30 minutes, but this was understandable due the the inclement weather. There was a real possibility the installation would not go ahead on the day agreed

Great service by a knowledgeable friendly team. (Battery installation only)
The quote process was prompt and personalised to our needs.Upon acceptance the battery installation was expediently organised and completed within 4 days.
The electrician was experienced and carried out the task in a professional, safe and efficient manner.
The work site was thoroughly cleaned after completion and a safety inspection requested.
The team at EvoSolar were a pleasure to deal with and I would recommend their service to anyone seeking a solar and/or battery back up system.

Evo Solar Installation
Excellent service, very prompt replies to all questions and requests for various quotes with different variations of panel size/configuration to determine the most suitable system.Installation was booked for the first available free dates and carried out very professionally and quickly over a day and a half.
The system has been in place for a little over 2 weeks, so a bit too early to tell how well everything works in a range of conditions, but so far so good and can't fault at all.
Thoroughly recommend Evo Solar.

The admin side of the project was handled by their office team who also did a great job.Inverter rating: 5/5

Highly recommended, excellent service
Cam from EvoSolar was incredibly helpful and patient as he worked with me to design a system that fit my constraints. He always had time for my many questions, and probably prepared a half-dozen quotes before I was ready to sign.He made sure to send a larger team, to get the system installed in one day. They showed up right on time, did an excellent job, and always checked with me before drilling any holes or running any cables. The team was friendly, install was finished on time, and they tidied after themselves.
I got a call a few days later from Evo Solar to check I was happy with everything, and to explain what the next steps would be.
Overall, I am very satisfied and I would unreservedly recommend Evo Solar.

Good experience
Quoting process was done online (other companies who quoted came out to site), no site inspection undertaken. The site inspection at quoting stage probably would have made it easier for the installers as they came out the day before to set up safety equipment and found that we had a few vents for ventilation fans on the roof which needed to be moved to fit the panels in. Was really happy that Travis worked a way around it as he didn't want the panels to be installed and not look good.Cam and the team were very helpful and really easy to deal with.

System and service.
After having asked for several quote's for a solar installation I was less than impressed with the response received. I understand we live in an electronic age but I still like to think that my business and need's are heard and met, and not solely conducted over the internet.Evosolar listened to what I, through research, considered I might need, gave myself two quotes and offered to visit my house for a consultation, which none of the other quotes where interested in doing.
The chosen system was of a more expensive system from a reputable manufacturer. Evosolar arrived on time, on a day that was very windy and at times very wet, I thought that there was no way that the installation would take place, but it did. It took longer of course, but the installers persisted and finished the project as promised.
On the day a different spread of panel's was suggested for my roof, I was expecting the panel's to be mainly on the north facing aspect, but the suggested placement made more sense when explained to me and I'm very happy with the installation.
The Installer's where punctual, polite and efficient, left no rubbish, did an excellent job especially given it was such a foul day with the weather.
'If you are in the market for a solar system and live around the Geelong area I recommend Cam at Evosolar.
10 months later we asked John: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Still debating as to buy an Enphase battery system or not.17 September 2023

The whole process from contacting Evo Solar, discussing options, receiving detailed quotes for several options, planning and installation was a very positive experience. Cam from Evo Solar is very professional and helpful. He was guiding us through the whole process and took the time to answer any question we had along the way. The installation was on time and the workmanship of the team was excellent. Evo Solar also took care of commissioning and connecting the system.Dealing with anyone of their team was a pleasure.

Extremely happy with our new PV system!
Cam has extensive knowledge about the products he sells. He is clearly passionate about solar and energy efficiency too. Cam completed a site inspection then provided several quotes to try suit our household needs and budget.The team that completed the install were on time, friendly and communicated well. The weather didn't make the install easy but the guys got the job done.
Our home is all electric, so we are looking forward to the difference solar makes on our home thanks to the team at Evo Solar!

Outstanding product and service - Evosolar
From the moment I contacted Evo Solar, to the installation of our 10kw system, the process has been seamless. The quote was supplied quickly and was extremely comprehensive. All of our questions were answered promptly and comprehensively. Communication was excellent, keeping us informed as to the installation and documentation that we needed to complete. On the day of installation, Evo Solar turned up at the pre arranged time and worked throughout the day to ensure all the work was completed. The installers were polite and extremely helpful, ensuring all rubbish etc was removed from site. Customer service was exemplary and they are assisting with grid connection.27 July 2023
Easy to deal with solar installer
Evo Solar was awesome to deal with and was quickly onto my online enquiry, with multiple quotes for different options emailed through and with follow up phone calls and a site visit.Evo Solar pre-wired up some conduits prior to the install of the solar system. The actual install of the system was completed over two days which consisted of 25 panels some on tilts, inverter and Tesla battery.
If you need a solar system, don't hesitate to contact the team at Evo Solar.

Great experience all round
Evo Solar were great to deal with at all stages - helpful, open and honest. Initial discussions and the quote (not the cheapest or the dearest) instilled confidence that they were experts in the field and provided value for money.

Cam was very informative, did exactly what he said he would, and the installation process was terrific, with friendly staff.08 June 2023
Super Happy with Installation and Process
Solar Quote was obtained shortly after contact and discussing options. They checked back to see if I had any queries. The quote was very detailed including where the panels would go and they gave 3 different options which included estimates on saving based on my energy bills I had provided.Once quote was accepted they schedule in a date for installation.
Installers turned up on the morning of the date and explained the process and that there would be a truck - arriving - if it was ok to park in the drive and did I need to get my car out- how polite - was impressed.
The workmen were all very polite and left the property in good condition - even removing an old hot water system I had for free :)
When work was complete, they showed me the system and advised that they would need to turn it off until it was inspected but that they had scheduled it in and would occur in 3 days time.
Inspector came and everything was good so turned it on.
I had old solar panels that the inverter failed on - it was nearly 12 years old and it seemed to be a lot of hassle - this was just seamless and I highly recommend them.

Seamless Installation
Had a great experienc with Evo Solar.Cam provided very helpful technical insights /advice for my consideration, which helped select a battery to meet my specific requirements when extending my solar array and installing a battery in May. I chose a Tesla Powerwall 2
The quoting process was very straight forward and quick.
Scheduling for the installation was within a few weeks.The installation team arrived when they said they would, completed the work promptly, and were a pleasure to deal with. The installation is very tidy and the team left the garage & surrounds spotless.
Grid connection was done by Evo Solar, and the Electrical Safety review was completed within two days.
