Customer testimonials for Go Solar Power are available, and include the following:
“ I eventually chose Go Solar because of Peter’s quick response (actually a Sunday), his knowledge (being an electrical engineer), and the quality of his products. My brief was to use quality components and have a real neat professional installation; all of which was achieved with a minimum of fuss, and ahead of schedule. I will be adding more panels to my system very soon and will definitely be using Peter Bell and Go Solar Power.”
“ Peter Bell from Go Solar Power was an obvious choice for us. He got in contact with us within a day (the other in five and the third didn’t even bother). He was professional, informative, and explained things simply without any hard core sales pitch; just honest and straightto the point. Peter’s price was on a par with all the other companies, but his service and product was way superior to the rest. I would recommend Go Solar Power to anyone looking at getting into solar, in particular those who don’t have a full understanding of how it works.”

Peter Bell made this sale. His knowledge and advice were fantastic. He came to the house, was courteous and attentive. . Never ever did he want to be pushy. On his second visit we were all ready and he said about 4 weeks but then realised we already had approval from Energex and so asked if tomorrow was good, it was so on it went. How's that for service?27 months later we asked Iasn: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
All up I love my system.07 May 2014

Even though it has been installed for only two weeks from 20th of December 2011, the system is performing better than my expectations. The weather has been very cloudy with showers on at least four of the fourteen days, worst day was 18kwh, best day was 37kwh and averaged at 27kwh.29 months later we asked TREVOR: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
It has performed as GO SOLAR said it would02 January 2014

We decided on Go Solar to supply and install our system. It was installed last week. The work is very professionally done. And was finished on schedule.The quality of the system is excellent which is one of the most we considered important. We are very happy that Go Solar met all our expectation on a solar system. Overall we are very satisfied.
Peter Bell is very professional very pleasant and easy to deal with. We never had any hussle from the start to its completion everything went well. I would highly recommend Go Solar.

still waiting on installion but weather is probaly a factor.23 months later we asked Richard: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Preforming well at present getting about 8 - 12 kw per day all depends on weather naturally.05 September 2012
Peter Bell was very knowledgeable and efficient, friendly and nothing was a problem.
His crew of installers arrived on time and the work was carried out faultlessly, including running the wiring out of sight and placed the inverter where we wanted it.
The roof and surrounding area was cleaned up and no rubbish was left behind.
We could not be happier.

Very helpful in answering questions and knowledgable of solar system.27 months later we asked ANDREA: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
I had expected 3000 kWhr per year net to be generated; this has been the case- my system is not ideally positioned but I am sure most are not in suburbiaSavings amount to about $900-$1000 per year for this 3Kw system.
Thus actual payback time is really 10-11 yrs which is about what I expected but less than what is often advertised
However having said that, I am happy to have installed the system

20 months later we asked Stephen: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes27 August 2012
But first impression over the phone the owner himself was available to answer very technical questions because he knew what he was talking about it.
When we met to my home, he climb on the roof and check roof spaces and what was the best orientation, check the roof, and he is an engineer who could answer to more questions. He shows a passion for his work and attention to customer.
I have signed the paper work, and the next day I sent him an other 20 questions to answer in relation with more reading about the whole system. He reply to me in the next 3 days.
I have read several feed back about this company and they were all positive and show satisfaction.
The system has not been installed yet, and I'm quite happy to give me more feed back in few weeks time when it is all working.
They were quite happy to give me private contact around here from previous installations.

We chose "Go Solar" as our provider/installer based on several factors:
1. Recommended by Finn Peacock
2. Impressed with Principal Peter Bell who took the time to walk carefully through all aspects of Solar Power with us and, at no time, did we feel pressured to proceed
3. Peter is a qualified Electrical Engineer which provided us with an additional level of comfort
4. Installation was completed on time (in fact we were overseas at the time) and is working perfectly.
5. Finn Peacock has confirmed that Panels and Inverter are "top of the range".
6. Based on quotes received, price was very competitive.
Overall a very positive experience and we can highly recommend the Go Solar team.

Peter rang the following day after submitting my details to Solar Quotes and came to my place late that afternoon to give me quotes on a rang of systems and explained the in's and out's of solar and the best system for my place.
Only took two weeks from paying deposit to getting the system installed and the installers are a great bunch of blokes and know there job.
Would recommend Go Solar power to anyone to get their solar system installed.

Go Solar stood out from the other two Peter Bell was just a fantastic sales person and very knowledgeable. I'm a sale person my self and pointed out to Peter this and that I had done my research. He took this on board and didn't try to sell me on anything just supplied all the facts, answered all my questions, and left me to decide. Their price wasn't the cheapest but it was within only a couple of hundred dollars yet all the components where brand names and i was able to research the exact component he listed my self on the net .
The team to install arrive when said and where a great bunch of guys installed the system and left, i can not recommend go solar highly enough ..Cheers Steve

Our installer David Tegg from A1 Power Contracting was professional, polite and we were very pleased to have them do our installation. We chose a premium brand of Hyundai panels and a Xantrex inverter for our solar system. Just fantastic.

We received 2 quotes very quickly from the 3 quotes arranged by Solar quotes and the third was to come from Omega who did provide pricing on their emails and did not return my phone calls.
I think that Go Solar provided the best quality system at a cost effective price.

The installation happened as promised with no hassles and the PV array has performed slightly better than expected.
Overall a good experience.

The install went very smoothly & quickly with the panels being on my roof 2 weeks after I signed up. The install itself was done very professionally and cleanly and I'm very happy with the result.
I'd have no hesitation in recommending Peter to others.

I have talked with neighbors who have systems and it seems that our Hyundai panels are out-performing other brands. I'm told that it may be due to the size of the cells. But on a per panel basis we are well ahead.
Interestingly having the system has made the family energy conscious. (Somewhat counter intuitive but even our energy profligate users are switching off lights etc.)
*One blip was the wait for Energex to connect the new meter but they came today and they were efficient, polite and nice.
I will wait for a few months and then probably install another much larger system on a second property. Probably a 30KW system and if that goes well another.

different suppliers/installers and then cancelling due to poor prior installation experiences, I eventually
chose Go Solar because of Peters' quick response (actually a Sunday) ,his knowledge ,(being an electrical engineer) and the quality of his products.My Brief was to use quality components and have a neat professional installation,all of which were achieved with a minimum of fuss ahead of schedule.I will be adding more panels to my system very soon and will definately be using Peter Bell and Go Solar.

2. At your website I ws given 3 people to contact, Peter Bell from Go Solar Power was the promptest in replying, meeting with me, submitting a quotation along with superior quality components.
3. I had only to pay $2790 on top of the $8000 grant for my 9 panel system.
4. Another suggested supplier from my web inquiry contacted me but only some time after I had already decided to go with Peter Bell and Go Solar Power.
Can't wait for my next electricity bill.
Thank you - Monica French
