Competitive Price, Excellent Design

The salesperson was quick to contact me (reached out on the same day I submitted my inquiry through Solar Quotes). Over the course of the next two weeks, they were in contact often. It was slightly overbearing at times but they were able to meet my budget constraints and I was happy with the quote, so we signed and went head.

Installation was scheduled for a week and a half later. There were a team of four there bright and early. It took two days from start to finish. The end result was very processional. Cables managed well around the inverter and switchboard, and panels positioned to take advantage of the sun direction.

Everyone I spoke to was professional and clearly both knew what they were doing, and were passionate about it. If I was really being picky, the only thing that perhaps could have been a little better was communication in the time before and after the installation. There were a few days after signing where I didn't know what was happening, and after the installation working out what needed to be done for feed-in to be activated, but I fully understand this is due to it being a very busy period.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend GreenSaver Solar to friends and family in the future!

Thorough, informative & helpful

Simon was the only quote to come onsite. He was therefore able to give helpful advice about installation and location of the inverter. The installation process was prompt and carried out quickly and efficiently. The installers were clean and tidy and left no indication of having attended apart from the panels and inverter. The follow up has been most helpful and guided us through the use of the app and monitoring our solar production. The inspector has attended and approved the installation and instigated the next stage of the process. Very happy with the process from start to finish. Original ratings

10 months later we asked Ian: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"

It's all I expected and hoping that power companies will recognise the value and increase feed in tariffs (as if!)

Fast installation and fantastic job

Very happy with the whole process with Green Saver Solar. Simon came out to view our house and returned a quote for us in great time. He was happy to work with us on what we wanted and give advice as to what we needed etc.
The installation started very quickly (I think a few days after signing up), and took just a couple of days to complete (it is a large 15kw system). The whole team were really professional, tidy, and didn't mind my kids watching them the whole time :)
All of the required permissions from Powercor and connections were organised by Simon, so the whole process went really smoothly. Couldn't be happier and the system has been running really well. Highly recommend.

Great, value, components, service and installation!

The quote process was very quick. Simon came to my house the same day and looked at the property so he knew what he was dealing with. I had already received a number of quote so I knew that he gave me a good deal with quality components, straight up. The documentation, installation was done very quickly, professionally and he also arrange connection to the grid.

Fantastic process the whole way through

I spoke with many companies, and Green Saver were one of the few who insisted in a site visit before making a quote. That gave my family an opportunity to meet Josh, who took his time and explained everything thoroughly. I was impressed by their focus on using quality components and their price was extremely competitive. The process from there was straightforward, and our system was installed only a few weeks' later. Now a week on from installation, we're very happy with what we got.

Great installer

Quoted and installed as per the quote. Easy to deal with.

Great installers

The sales process was very good as they call out in person. The installers of the solar panels were great and had time to explain any queries. The installers went out of their way to help. In relation to the customer service, it took quite a few emails to get an installation date at the start. Two weeks ago I was advised that an inspector will call out then I have to arrange the grid connection, still waiting on inspector to call out. During installation slight damage to guttering system, advised Greensaver and still waiting on response as to when this will be looked at.

Very happy with to have solar installed, but would not recommend the installers.

Very happy with my solar system. Even though it is not what I was originally quoted and it did cost more, I am happy with it.
The installation company were very courteous and helpful until I accepted the quote. After that I had to chase any communication. I was informed halfway through the job that my quoted system could not be installed and I had to install an alternate system that did cost more. I'm quite happy with the system I got but should have been told before work had progressed so far.

Payment had to be made in full before work was completed, but I didn't get a tax receipt until I chased one 2 months after job was finished.
The installation crew were very polite and left everything clean and tidy.

Knowledgeable company and friendly professional team

Greensaver were very quick to respond to the request for a quote & came out to visit our home to explain things.
The installation team were on time, polite, friendly & did a good job tidying up after themselves.
They also helped us set up the app to monitor our system on our laptop & smartphones.
Would definitely recommend them.

Excellent installation

Quoting process meet our requirements having used Finn Peacock's 'The Good Solar Guide' to keep us on the right track. Installation of the 6.6 kW system was on time and completed easily in the day on a two-storied house. Crew were polite and cleaned up site afterwards. Installation was part of the revised Victorian Government Solar subsidy scheme which commenced in July 2019 and contributed $2,225 towards cost.

Great service, quality product.

Quoting process was quick and accommodating. Installation was quick and on time. Inspection was prompt and grid connection is ongoing but that is due to PowerCore.

Installation was trouble free. Connecting to the grid and getting all the paperwork to apply for the Vic government rebate was tiresome

Green Saver was not the cheapest. Everything was straight to the point, no time waster but very knowledgeable and friendly service.

Simon and the Greensaver team are quality tradesmen, and we have a good system installed. Communications were not perfect, however. There was a pretty big error in the quote that came to light later on, and we encountered a few hiccups with dates and times, and with the supply side being SWER (unexpectedly). All of these things were all taken care of, though, and we had a good experience in the end. This is a small company with the installer is dealing directly with customer, which has distinct advantages, but I think they are a bit overworked, and could do with some sales assistance.

We've only had them in for 4 days so too early to make any other comments.

The principal impressed me as being honest and knowing the solar industry. I was also impressed with his team. They worked efficiently and clearly had installed many solar systems. The workmanship was good, no loose ends and no mess. I was also pleased that the person who I committed to install with was on site as part of the installation team.

My experience with Greensaver Solar was nothing short of fantastic.
The service was exceptional as was the guidance in planning a system best suited to our needs.
The price was not the best but what we got was a value for money system without cheap and nasty components (which was offered by the suppliers with the lowest prices).
We have had the system up and running for almost 2 months and the performance has been better than expected for autumn leading into winter.
Thanks Greensaver Solar!

The 2 companies you had contact me for a quote were both prompt in contacting me, and in arranging to come and see me.
Explanation of system components and installation were very easily understood and neither company pressured me into any decisions.
I am looking forward to having the 5.4kW system installed mid June 17. Would be happy to update information after installation is completed.
Thanks for your help and advice in this process.
Regards
Rob

Friendly, sales person who listened to my queries, made recommendations, and explained the workings of the system in a manner I could understand. The price was very competitive for a quality system. The installers were efficient, prompt, and careful in minimising impact in my garden and roof. Would recommend.

The daunting task of choosing a system and supplier was Made easy by Simon from Greensaver. He was very professional, honest and realistic about what benefit we would achieve from installing solar. Highly recommend this company.

As we installed just prior to Xmas we had to wait for a month for our power supply company to hook us up to the grid which was a it disappointing as weak a lot of hot weather but we were not sending any excess back to the grid.

The service provided by both Solar Quotes and Green Saver Solar was seamless, Simon from Green saver was very professional and all questions answered in a timely matter no matter how stupid they may have been, on the day of installation he was on time and did the job with no disruption to our routine and left the work area in cleaner shape than he found it, I would not hesitate to recommend his service to anyone, he really does provide something that is missing today Great Customer service.

The decision process was like juggling hot balls and trying to catch the 'coolest' quote and equipment for our needs and capabilities. It was not the cheapest quote, but we think we did alright after much sifting, and using your website as a ready reference for anything from panels, inverters, and traps for the unwary.
