Local installer, knowledgeable and around when you need to ask questions
Quoting was indicative then proper quote after site visit. Installer happy to discuss any aspect of the installation. The installation went according to the design/quote and we had a couple of other electrical jobs carried out at the same time. Cost here includes Green Catch Power and 2 Tigos. All work looks high quality. Just waiting on the new meter now - which the installer was happy to put in the request for as well.01 May 2018
Original Review on 23-08-2017:
I spent the month of July 2017 researching efficiency of Solar Power products and the integrity of manufacturers. I looked at many and varied websites. I chose a local supplier who could supply me with my preferred system and also because I am passionate about our small local community and supporting local businesses. I have chosen Suntech 295W panels and Enphase Micro Inverters. I intend to have the racking tilted to 30 degrees to optimise the early morning sun in winter. I intend having 6 of our 16 panels facing due east as we have an ocean view to maximise early morning light. The remaining 10 panels will face due north.8 months later we asked Richard: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
This System that we have chosen was up market and therefore has met our expectations. We really like the way that via the Enphase Communications Envoy we are able to log in to our IPad or IPhone and the My Enlighten program shows how much power we are currently producing, using and exporting back to the grid. Being able to monitor our systems performance so quickly has enabled us to use power more efficiently. During last summer our electricity charges were almost nil.09 July 2017

Solar quotes gave invaluable and useful advice which assisted with the decision making. I did a lot of research. I got several quotes.Lakeside actually came to the house, looked at the roof and access, explained where the envoy could be located.
Some other providers quoted for single storey, metal roof even though I had told them/ completed a form stating that it was 2 storey, tile roof. When challenged they requoted much higher. A neighbour warned me this would happen, that a quote would get much larger once they arrived to instal and forms were signed, so it is necessary to read the quotes carefully.
Another supplier said I could not have a battery because they aren't available. They are but that company did not have the ability to do it and did not want to tell me that
8 months later we asked Penny: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes. We are so happy that we have had an enphase battery installed as well. It's all working beautifully.01 July 2017

Local installer - Great system
Paul was terrific throughout - from quote to finish.We are in a village and were limited to a 2.5Kw system with no feed back to the grid as it is embedded supply.
Even though it was a small job he gave it priority and his suggestion of excess solar power going to heat the hws was the icing.
Friendly, thorough installers who explained everything as the job progressed.
