Wonderful installation but cheeky salesman
The sales person was excellent unit I requested a consideration on the installation price due to a different system being installedI had a quotation for a 3 strings 3,4,5.setup in 2 different locations on the roof to avoid trees shading causing lower delivery of power
I received a 2x6 set up in one location instead without my permission or any consulting
The installation was perfect but the salesman was insulting when he told me I was cheeky requesting a discount due to less wiring requirements and labour
He has not contacted me since the installation to see how I feel or how the job went only to say the installation team have the final say about the panels layout. I would have appreciated support to set up my Fronius monitoring program

First Class Experiece
Apart from still waiting 12 days after installation for the inspector to turn the system on, Gnowee were exceptional. Horst explained everything we needed to know. His patience in taking us through the process was most appreciated. The installation process with Shennal and his team went smoothly. Assuming my system gets turned on this week, I am very pleased with Gnowee, and I highly recommend them.Supplier Reply:

Gnowee Solar were great to deal with, highly recommend
Gnowee solar we're great to deal with. Horst based in Mornington was very helpful & honest and very informative. He came out to our house and assed the site and took us through the process. They organised all connection to the grid for us which was great. I would definitely recommend Gnowee Solar if your looking to go ahead with Solar.22 November 2022

Professional
Gnowee Solar was not the only company we received quotes from for our solar energy system but they were certainly the most professional and stood out from the others. Warnie attended our site in person, designed our solar system and we were very impressed with the level of information, knowledge and potential savings he provided to us with his quotation submission. He was always very pleasant and accommodating to our needs and was able to answer any enquiries promptly. The installation was done with little disruption and the installers very professional, hard working and clean. Rubbish was removed when the job was completed and the installation thoroughly inspected by Warnie upon completion. Gnowee then submitted all relevant documents for connection to the grid in a very timely manner. After having dealt with Gnowee Solar from start to finish, I absolutely highly recommend them for your solar needs.02 October 2022

Wish we’d got solar earlier
Very simple & fast process - should have done it years ago. Fantastic knowledge and service from Horst who answered all my questions openly and honestly without arrogance or showmanship. Install was done in a day with no issues - very polite and easy going installers. Using the free PowerPal app supplied by the government (I can’t work out how to use the Inverter app - too complicated) I can see we’ve already halved our weekly energy usage from the grid. Looking forward to seeing how much we’ve saved on our next electricity bill.Supplier Reply:
Hi Martha,Thank you once again for choosing us to power your home with solar power.
We will continue to support you with any future concerns and queries.

Great spec not cheap but high quality.
I wanted a premium system and thought sunpower macron was the way to go. With tons of reviews from this website and others I appreciate there are many views on the subject. I ended going with rec alpha panels and a fronious inverter and was very happy with the service from gnowee solar. They were not able to supply the originally quoted panels but made a fair compromise on the alternative. The best thing was that I was was fussy about the source of the panels as I am not happy to support countries with trade sanctions against Australia. Another reputable company in our area did not listen as well and this proved to be the deciding factor.The dreaded Covid hit on our original very prompt installation date and the reschedule was quickly arranged.
On the whole a great result.

Original Review on 01-08-2021:
Excellent and informative service
We had several quotes and two excellent sales representatives from different companies who were always willing to explain cost/benefit ratios, processes and products.Our final selection was based on the ability of the sales person to respond to our questions and uncertainties.
The whole process was easy; the service was prompt and efficient and all communications were timely and efficient.
We are extremely happy with our choice and our solar system.

Thank you Judy for your wonderful words, we really appreciate the time you took to write such a detailed review!We’re very grateful for customers like you and will continue to service you for years to come!
8 months later we asked Judy: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
The system is meeting our expectations and we haven't paid a power bill since last winter. We hope to install a battery later this year or early next year when we change over to an electric vehicle and are very confident that our system will be the right one for this too.22 February 2022

Excellent installation
Was very happy with the job Gnowee did. We had two systems installed as we have two separate dwellings. The customer service was exceptional. A great product at a reasonable price. Salesman Warnie was lovely and very knowledgeable. Installation was done within a day, they turned up when they said they would. They helped organise the grid connection.11 November 2021
Excellent system and experience.
In addition to the 3 quotes through solarquotes, I got a fair few more, and had been doing some general research for a while. Overall the costs are pretty similar between companies when you have an idea about what panels/inverter. So for me it came down to what company I felt I could trust to do a good job.Hence why I went with Gnowee Solar. I found that Horst was easily the most accommodating person to deal with out of the various companies. He was not pushy, understood exactly what he was doing, and happy to adjust the setup multiple times. There were a few minor issues related to the computer software not showing the roof accurately which made it difficult to determine the maximum number of panels I could fit, and this was identified on installation day. However issues happen and the most important thing is that they were quickly managed.
The installation is great and of very high quality. It was a fairly large system by usual residential standards (9.36kw) and I am very happy with the result.
I appreciate all the effort. thanks.

Good service but install could have been better
Panels were put into a position that didn't allow access to guttering even though there was plenty of space on the roof. Credit to Gnowee Solar though, they sent the installers back to move the panels and repair the tiles they broke.Inverter rating: 4/5

Was successful in getting the SolarVic grant and loan in the same round as getting the quote.
Panels and inverter (Sungrow) delivered by OneStop Warehouse two days before install.
Installation took about two weeks to get booked in; finish of the job is excellent and passed the SolarVic inspection with only a couple of minor adjustments needed to be done in retrospect (double check youâve trimmed your cable ties!)

Excellent service
Gnowee replied to our enquiry first and a rep arrived on the same day. The rep explained the process very well and our experience confirmed the rep's account of the process.
