About
Ingenero has been operating since 2008 as a commercial solar system company, and in 2009 took over a residential solar company, SoarPay Pty Ltd.
Ingenero says that it has a state of the art research lab to ensure that all of their products meet the highest quality and power output standards. Among its accomplishments the company says that they constructed the largest rooftop solar PV system in Australia at the University of Queensland in Brisbane. They say that they are totally committed to quality, and their solutions are backed by industry leading warranties. The company says that it is accredited ISO 9001 Quality Management and ISO 14001 Enviromental Management. Among other things, the company says that it offers zero deposit finance terms.
Customer testimonials for Ingenero are available, and include the following:
“ I researched the solar market for six months before deciding to go with Ingenero. I was drawn to them because they sell excellent quality inverters and panels, and they back them up with a 10 year warranty that includes workmanship; as well as a 25 year output warranty on the panels. Ingenero consultants listened to me and answered my questions without being pushy. The installers were brilliant, taking time to explain everything in detail. I couldn’t have asked for a more professional organization.”

I am very impressed with the performance of our system and we now reap the rewards of a quarterly cheque instead of a power bill. The only maintenance required is cleaning of the panels to optimise their efficiency.

Original Review on 26-04-2011:
I haven't had it installed yet, so do not want to make a final judgement.17 months later we asked Diana: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes. I have not had any problems and it all appears to be working very well. I am also not getting bills and instead get credits/income from the system. On the down side, customer service was very poor and it took a long time to get my questions answered and involved many phone calls on my part as nobody phoned me back after I left messages many times. Solar systems have come down in cost considerably since I purchased mine and I could now get a system installed for about half of what I paid.21 September 2012

I was happy with the service from Ingenero but less happy with the installing contractors.It took 3 weeks to install the system due to weather and lack of parts, but the contractors did not communicate effectively which led to frustration. I am now waiting for Energy Australia to install the meter and activate the system. Ingenero did chase the contractors and indicated if there were any more problems they would not use them again28 months later we asked Kevin: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
the last bill was high. ie $253 as against $35 for the same period last year. It seems excessive, even with the price increases. I have put it down to a misreading of the meter and rather than argue with Energy Australia I will monitor the next bill and challenge it if necessary.05 September 2012

At the same time as asking Solar Quotes for assistance, we also attended a Qld Government public seminar on solar power. At this seminar we invited two of the companies displaying to visit our home and quote. Of these, one was particularly knowledgeable and looked at ways we could reduce our consumption, and also talked to us about the different quality of panels and inverters around. He was not from Ingenero, but it was because of this guy, and through further investigation into the varying quality of products available, that we ended up going with Ingenero.
There is certainly a need for someone to help people navigate through what is a mine field of information. Hard earned dollars go into these systems, and people need to know that their money is being invested into a quality product that will last for many years. It is somewhat a leap of faith, when one goes into this, but you can only trust that the more you know the better informed your decision will be.
Thank you for your fabulous website and for the assistance that has started us on our way to a greener way of life.

Regarding the price range - we paid only a fraction above $10K for the 3.15kW system.
However, I found the Ingenero sales consultant to be knowledgeable, efficient, friendly and not pushy - unlike other reps who were either pushy, condescending, full of sh*t or all of the above!
Their system prices are very competitive - mid range of the 6 quotes I obtained.
The reasons I chose Ingenero:
(1) quality of panels & inverter,
(2) excellent warranty conditions (much better than industry average, especially when you read the fine detail for output performance guarantee),
(3) background of the company per their website - experience of mgmt team, venture capital, own R&D area, involved with big projects.
Dealing with Ingenero has been very easy. Good communication via phone & email. The contractors they used for installation were thorough & professional.
I also like their EcoWatch monitor that allows performance tracking in real time on a laptop. I believe it is a more sophisticated set-up than some others out there.
In summary, I would highly recommend Ingenero.

1. Citi Solar salesman and presentation very, very poor. Cost of 1.5 and 2.0 kw units and installation much to costly. Plus he wanted a signature straight away!! Alarm bells ringing…
2. A1 Battery Pro salesman pretty good knew all about solar and that’s where it ended!! They must be selling units ok as I am still waiting on quotes for 1.5 and 2.0 units.
and I ended up with Ingenero.
