About
Hines Electrix has been in the renewable field for 4 years. We deal in Solar PV, solar hot water (working with plumbers) and electrical contracting (commercial/domestic/ security).
Matt (Director) is the sole designer/installer/electrician. Matt takes regular trips to Melbourne for training seminars and has almost completed a Cert IV in renewable energy. Matt holds the Electrician/contractor license, CEC accreditation and also a Security equipment installer’s license.
We always carry out a suneye shade analysis prior to every quote so customers always know what a given system will produce for them. We provide free assessments and quotes service and we always provide a shade report and design report at the quote stage.
We provide our services in Northeast Vic (Alpine shire towns +Beechworth, Wangaratta) and have completed approximately 100 installs over past 3 years, with 95% designed and installed by Matt only (other 5% had help from my plumber)
Matt can regularly be found giving out advice on Whirlpool’s ‘Green Tech’ forum which is also a valuable place for installers to exchange ideas.
For Solar PV we only use SMA inverters for string systems and Enphase micro’s for Micro inverter systems (because we don’t like call backs)and with my plumbing partners we install Apricus Evac tube solar hot water systems.

Original Review on 14-02-2019:
The provider has made a date to fit the system (March 4) and has been most helpful throughout the process. Looking forward to the installation.8 months later we asked David: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
The system excedes my expectations with excellent power savings.15 August 2017

Excellent quality components, installation and service. Very into and passionate about solar. Does not participate in the Vic rebate scheme due to additional cost negating any savings.
Quote was higher than those from solar quotes due to no Victorian rebate. Excellent communication. Uses only the best components available at the time. Sets up for the optimum for our location, shading etc. Very punctual and had all of the processes in place for the paperwork, helped keep it simple for us. Original ratingsPanel rating: 5/5

10 months later we asked Cameron: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Due to our location and shade from native trees, the pay back period is longer than desired. It may take 12 years to reach breakeven point.I am having further discussions with installer to set up some panels further away from building to achieve more sun hours possibly.
I don't understand why micro inverter system needs to be so close to switchboard.
