Paid the deposit and heard very little.......have to pay extra $1000 for an invertor to regulate......Supplier requirements .......very slow in the installation due to lack of required product8 months later we asked Judd: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Not really....have directed the majority of my consumption to daylight hours and have not experienced any real drop in my power bills14 April 2016

15 months later we asked Terry: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Infinity Power indicated that the average production per day was "expected" to be about 18 kWh and "guaranteed" to be 16.8 kWh. The actual average after the first 12 months was 16.0 kWh per day. This performance is a little disappointing, given that I opted for Tier 1 panels and a top grade inverter. What is even more disappointing is that I can't discuss the performance with the installer because the Rockhampton office of Infinity Power no longer exists. They just shut up shop without any notice or any advice to their clients about what they should do in the event of any future problems. That is very poor form.09 March 2016

Solar Quotes were invaluable in assessing the systems quoted on by the local suppliers recommended by Solar Quotes and those personally invited to quote.
Their assessment reinforced my faith in solar, and eliminated any concerns I may have had relating to brands and performances, enabling me to be better informed to make a decision on the best system for my situation and budget.
The system has not been installed at this time, but my experience with the Solar Quotes recommended installer to date has been very cooperative and informative.

I cannot comment about the efficiency and running of the product yet as the house, and therefore the panels are not in use.
Sue, the lady I was in contact with gave me a lot of easy to read information about the different components I was about to purchase.
The installers were efficient professional and left no mess. (Which is more than I can say about some other tradesmen.)
I was continually informed about the process and product.
Very satisfied

Fabulous - so please that we made the move!Savings so far have been a pleasant surprise and the unwelcome increase in power tariffs have not been as dramatic for us this year.
The savings we have made will mean that this investment will be cost neutral in less than 5 years.

All the companies that quoted me via the Solar Quotes site were very helpful. The main reason I am using Infinity Solar is due to the site inspection, and their helpfulness. A very close second was Energy Aware, as they helped with the local Power Company.8 months later we asked Geoff: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
The system has been operational since end May 2014, so 8 months. Mainly Dry season, and the start of the Wet. I expected better results during the Dry, but have been pleasently surprised with the Wet season results. I did quizz Infinity Solar after a few months, and they said to judge the system after 12 months install to get a true actual result average. So far that average is looking good, with some nice peaks, so yes I am happy.11 January 2015
Although not the cheapest of the three quotes, we found the salesman very thorough in checking out our electricity supply and meters. He did not try and oversell the system by overstating likely electricity generated. Installation was very efficient without any problems, and the system has been running faultlessly since installation.

Ultimately I chose a company who, whilst they were not the cheapest, were both ethical i.e. they didn't try to on-sell and recommended as a quality provider.

Solar Quotes arranged quotes from only two suppliers. Both were helpful but the information from one conflicted with the info provided by the other, so I felt I needed a third quote. I contacted Infinity Solar in Toowoomba, and they provided a clear explanation and their recommendations were in line with the research I'd done, so I chose them. Their installler was also very professional and provided clear information about the system. They were very prompt, both in quoting and installing. I would recommend including Infinity Solar among your quoters for Toowoomba.8 months later we asked Bryce: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes. System was installed on 9/4/2014. Over 9 months, reduction in grid power usage compared to last year, but valued at this years prices, was $1076. Savings for a full year should be at least $1300, so that the system is on track to pay back its capital cost in 6 years, faster than I expected.06 December 2014
They were efficient and when they had a problem with a part they let us know and fixed it as soon as they could.

I chose this supplier as they offered European panels rather than made in China even though it was about $1000.00 more expensive8 months later we asked Robin: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
It has .We are currently not paying for electricityFYI.
We had PV panels fitted at our Dundee Beach property about 2 years prior to the ones in Palmerston. These were from Darwin Solar. Although I have no complaints about the performance of the set-up I have about the cost. A 1000W system with full rebates available at that time cost us more than the 3000W system fitted recently.

8 months later we asked Craig: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes the system gives us over 30kw/h per day all year except winter where it goes down to around low 20's which you would expect.26 August 2014
The salesman was all over us to start with and when we signed up. There was an extended delay in having it fitted. He knew what I wanted when he came to do our site inspection then when I insisted he have the tradesmen deliver what I wanted , he turned uncooperative and wanted more payment. He told us he would bring paperwork back after the job and demonstrate, he didn't. I had to follow up the paperwork. The salesman reminds me of an amused car salesman, anything to get the sale and no after sales service. I got the solar hot water system. The tradesman were great , but the salesman I wouldn't recommend.

Original Review on 27-04-2012:
Firstly, I have to say that SolarQuotes.com.au was the best thing in my experience in deciding to install a solar system. Everything one needs to know about solar products and installation can be found on this site and Finn Peacock promptly replied to any questions I had to clarify certain points. This saved me a lot of time in my research in this field and ultimately I believe I have dealt with a good company and got a good product at a good price.Secondly, SolarQuotes provided me with the names of two installers who promptly replied, and one installer who didn't. I received quotes from Infinity Solar (Townsville) and True North (Townsville) I went with Infinity Solar for the following reason. The salesman I dealt with was Dean Delaney who firstly requested a copy of my last power bill from which he calculated my average power usage over the past five quarters and then recommended a 4kW as being suitable in my situation. The price quoted was $11,993.00 No More to Pay for this system which included 17 Solar World x 235w poly panels with a SMA Sunny Boy 4000TL inverter. The quote overall was very detailed and he even included copies of his own personal power bills which further impressed me. The quote I received from True North was not as detailed and basically only provided prices of it's various size systems and products. It was also about $1,000 more than Infinity Solar for a similar size system. My research on SolarQuotes on the various brands of panels and inverters also swayed me towards the product brands quoted by Infinity Solar. Dean also answered all of my 28 questions in writing (questions that Finn Peacock suggestsed should be asked) which I put to him to confirm and clarify some matters. Dean also later made a personal inspection of my premises which is over 100 km from Townsville. The system was not installed until about ten weeks after the date of contract, however weather conditions played some part in this delay. ERGON was very prompt with their approval process and the new meter was installed only nine days after the solar installation. The system is running great and at this stage within my expectations and I have no complaint. I have given a 4 rating to the above questions as time will only tell if I should have given a 5. I hope so.
25 months later we asked John: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes. I am very happy with my system and installation to date. Infinity Solar Townsville contacted me after the first year as a follow up service but I haven't heard from them since. The system seems to be producing close to what I use and my electricity account has been in credit since.. Obviously you get the quality of system you pay for, in my case $11,993 for a 4.0kW system. I am not able to add further panels to this system but don't see a need to anyway.I am very much appreciative of SolarQuotes for arranging quotes from Infinity Solar and another business in Townsville. Infinity was very quick to quote and a list of 28 questions I asked in writing (based on questions suggested by SolarQuotes) were all answered in writing to my satisfaction.
I will probably increase my ratings for this installation if it continues to perform as is for the next couple of years.

Met with Nick from Infinity Solar late in the afternoon on 9/4. Whilst Nick was here he gave us plenty of advice on things to consider no matter who we went with. Within a few hours he had supplied us with a full breakdown on costs and expected savings.
On the 8/5 I contacted Nick to organise getting the system installed and it is now the 23/5 and the system is installed and was connected to the grid today. As it is only early I have not had any need to use customer support yet but Nick rang me the day after installation to check how things went and assure me that if I have any questions just to give him a ring.
The reason I choose Infinity over the others was there was no hard sell or what appeared to be empty promises just facts, this with the information on SolarQuotes website made the whole process very easy.
In regards to the 3 companies I was contacted by through Solar Quotes.
One was not interested from the start - did not look at our meter or do measurements to see if panels would fit and became even less interested when he realised that I had no intention of signing a contract there and then no matter what they wanted to offer.
One came in all checked everything and full of talk but I felt like it was a lot of empty promises.
The third one despite me want them to come out and give a quote and advise emailed a quote to me and I have heard nothing since.

Original Review on 21-04-2012:
Of the three installers, Mark Group let me down by failing to turn up to give me a quote, and did not return phone calls to reschedule the appointment. The other two, Halcol & Infinity both had terrific salesmen who where very upfront and knowledgeable.I decided to go with Infinity because they had a slightly better system (in my opinion), and they have their own tradies. The salesman convinced me to spend a bit more and get a 5kw system instead of a 3kw. I was skeptical at first but he showed me first hand data from his own 5kw system plus some of his own power bills before and after solar installation and that turned me. I am very happy with my decision.
Infinity solar use their own tradesmen for the installation, who were quick and efficient and did a great job. They were happy for me to stick my nose in ask all sorts of questions about the installation and solar in general.
I think I got a great price: 28 x 190w Trina panels and an SMA inverter for $13,250 fully installed. Halcol were very marginally cheaper on a $ per kw basis, but I felt the Trina panels were a bit better than what Halcol were offering.
25 months later we asked Andrew: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes it has. We are on track to pay this system off in around 5 years. In fact we are almost halfway there now. The system (5.32Kw) is feeding in to the grid around 16-1800 Kwh per quarter in the summer and 12-1400 kwh in the winter. In dollar terms, it has netted almost $6000 in solar credits so far.21 May 2014

Finn, your website and the emails you sent out telling me what to look out for were absolutely fantastic. The comparison chart made me feel better about the products I was choosing between. I was able to ask the right questions and sent one shonky rep packing. It is a big investment and your info was really so helpful and so invaluable. The reputable firms should be giving people your web address because you answer all the important questions. When you don't really know much about the subject it is easy to get a smooth talker to con you into something that is not really necessary or suitable. Thank you so much for making me feel happily informed about the choices I have made.26 months later we asked Brian: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
We haven't to pay ergon since the panels were installed and they owe us money. we will have paid back our system about 10 months earlier than we were supposed to so we are extremely happy with our purchase. I can't comment on after sales service because apart from a courtesy calll from our salesman about a month after the install we haven't needed to call infinity for anything.21 May 2014

I found there was a communication problem . - only communication after initial quote was if I rung them to see what was happening (three times) - plenty of apologies and excuses, but only after a letter did they ring me and keep me in the loop. I hope they`ve learn`t and corrected the hiccup because the result is fine.24 months later we asked Alastair: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
YES - Have not had a power bill since installation and Ergon has paid me between 2 & 3 thousand dollars20 May 2014

yes, except the electricity bill goes up much faster than anticipated, so I have to pay extra now while I didn't expect that to happen until about 5 years after installation16 May 2014

Original Review on 15-02-2012:
This was a good all round experience. First of all the information from Solar Quotes was solid gold. Infinity Solar answered all my questions and I felt comfortable when told of delays due to rain. One thing to note, they didn't measure the roof correctly, so when it came time to install they needed an additional tilt kit. As the price was locked in I got this for free. Tilt kits usually cost between $500-$600. I was able to easily research the German manufactured Inverter and Panels and also found test results for the panels from a link on the Solar Quotes website. The other companies had panels that I couldn't find any information on. The workmanship from the three blokes who installed the system was truly impressive. They obviously understand what it means to have the system look good and fittings and fixtures installed correctly. Last but not least. Infinity Solar were the most expensive of three local quotes by approx $500.00.27 months later we asked Mick: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes. I was able to add two extra panels (14 x 235w in my 3.24Kw system) for very little additional cost during installation. The panels consistently perform to their maximum rated output e.g. inverter shows >3.0Kw for at least 3 hours per day, and I'm impressed by how little sun light is required to start the system. The inverter shows me its output by way of a graph which is easy to see what the system has generated on an hourly, daily and total basis.07 May 2014

I left my purchase til the death ie night before the expiry of the 44cent FIT in Qld. I was told installation would likely be not til October so was surprised when installer rang in August ready to go.I think a pre installation visit would have been useful for the installers but after a slight delay Bruno and Amos got into it. Their work was professional and their manner and service friendly. To date no issues just waiting now for energex to install the new meter. The display on the sunny boy inverter is clear and provides both graphical and current status view of usage.
21 months later we asked John: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes. The electricity bill reduction is in line with expectations and with the exception of the faulty inverter which was replaced promptly under warranty i am happy with the system.07 May 2014
