Jaryd was very easy to deal with and was very honest with his advice. He also put us in touch with finance providers.The installation went smoothly and Jaryd organised the connection to the grid so we didn't need to do anything. The system works great.

Great solar install and experience
Jaryd and Oslec energy are always great to deal with. The quoting process was simple and easy especially as this was for a new build. They made the process of adding solar to our house and easy process taking away any concerns we had. Through the install process they were professional on site and explained what they were completing on each day. They left the site tidy when finished.Panel rating: 5/5

Honest and Helpful
Jaryd came around inspected the problem i had , Got back in touch with me the next day with three options no pressure what so ever. The installation was done over a 2 day period, Fast and very tidy didn't have to lift a finger. They even helped me get rid of the old equipment best part was no rush with payment As i was already connected to the grid with previous system i had no hassle with reconnection.Inverter rating: 5/5

A great installer
The process for quoting and explaining what we needed and what would suit us was great.The installation went smoothly and without a hitch. The team were polite and responded well to any questions.
Customer service was great with organising a smart meter and advice on various power providers. They also visited after the installs to ensure all of the system was working well.

Local Business with no high pressure salesperson
Jaryd the owner and operator understood what I was try to achieve with panels.i was replacing older and smaller system that no longer met my changing needs. Oslec will periodically monitor the system over the coming months to confirm the system is performing to agreed specifications. I have found the online monitoring app to be informative and easy to use.Panel rating: 5/5

Overall they did an excellant job polite tidy punctual they helped with the grid connection.could have been a little bit better cleaning up on the roof when they finished10 months later we asked Robert: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes the system is performing well18 April 2024
Outstanding company great customer service
They attended my property during the build to quote on time and very knowledgeable. I had the quote within the timeframe promised.The installation was faultless and on time. Old style tradesmen.
They contacted me after the installation to make sure I was happy. In the quotation pack was all the information I needed to arrange the grid connection. When I had issues with my electricity supplier they supported me through the process.

Jaryd was great to deal with, he visited our home witch not everyone who quoted offered.We are 8 months in and very happy with our savings so far. It was hard to gauge the value for money portion of this review until now but I can certainly click the 5 star for this.

Efficient, Speedy and Cost Effective
Jaryd was very polite and a good communicator. He gave us informed and realistic expectations.The installers did a good job. At the end of a long day for the installers no doubt - we were left a bit uncertain about how to connect with the Inverter thru an app on our mobiles we needed to download as well as the process of contacting our energy retailer to request installation of the isolation switch and the provision of a new meter.
Jaryd filled us in on that later (the intsallation was on a Friday and he wasn't so well on that Friday either). When we were contacted by our energy provider, they attended and told us they would not be installing their new meter (or the isolator for that matter) because of "cotton covered" mains.
This means we have had to contact our own electrician to install the DV isolator which is added expense to us because the electricians from Origin Energy said "they won't touch it".
All that was unknown and would have been good to know before the event - an inspection of the power board and a warning that it was going to get complicated.
Still - we're happy with the job and the service !!
Thanks

Highly recommend Oslec for solar.They helped me understand what the best system for me was and quoted me a great price. Communication was fantastic throughout the whole process.

Professional team and fun experience
The Oslec team were punctual, reliable and honest about the solar process which can feel a bit overwhelming. I was impressed with the initial quoting and integrity of Jaryd who sold me only what I needed and didn’t try and sell me more.The installation was excellent, they were on time and polite. They removed the old system for no extra cost (something the other companies charged for).
Once installed Jaryd was great at teaching me about the system and how to use it, getting me on the App and answering any questions I had. Even now after a month they are responsive to questions. They’ve been with me every step of the way.
The whole process has been fun, informative and friendly!!

Trusted website and solar installers
It is evident that Finn from SolarQuotes is a subject matter expert and his communication of solar systems to the lay person on his website is exceptional (trust me, communicating complex science in a simplified but accurate message to the lay person is a skill in itself). Moreover, his independent and unbiased vetting of solar systems and installers only benefits the consumer. I had 3 quotes for installation of a 6.6 kW system and all seemed to be highly competent with the products recommended by SolarQuotes but could only choose one for supply and installation. Also, SolarQuotes were excellent in providing additional and timely analysis and advice of solar plans from suppliers when I submitted for their independent analysis and recommendation. I chose Oslec Energy in Adelaide for the job. Jaryd, Simon and the Oslec Energy team (all qualified solar installers) were exceptional in face-face discussion of my solar needs with critical appraisal of the size and system needed based on historical electricity usage. The team were very professional in installation and spent the time to explain the process and data portal post commissioning. The team were excellent to have around the house during installation. I highly recommend Oslec Energy for supply of solar systems in Adelaide. Moreover, it is proof-of-concept that Finn and the SolarQuotes team vet and recommend reputable companies for supply and installation of quality solar systems. Their approach and business model ensures that rogue installers are eliminated from the market and the most competent solar suppliers and installers provide the best service to the client. Well done SolarQuotes (Finn and team) and Oslec Energy (Jaryd, Simon and team).Panel rating: 5/5

Overall a very good experience
It was awesome to have solarquotes as a place to start. Salespeople from both companies we met with were impressive in knowledge and options available. Jaryd from Oslec was super helpful in answering our questions. I took a point off for installation as the installers were very loud and shouty when interacting with each other about stuff not related to the install which was annoying. They were otherwise fine in interactions with us and I assume they did a good job of the install.11 October 2023

Very Happy Oslec Energy Customer
Jaryd, Simon and the team at Oslec Energy were polite, professional and knowledgeable from the get go. I appreciated the way they listened to my needs and built a system accordingly. Jaryd even designed 3 different potential systems for me to help me make a decision. The installation was fast and efficient and they cleaned up as they went and after every day. Because I have 2 inverters Jaryd is working on a way that they can talk to each other for precise reporting and monitoring.10 months later we asked Matthew : "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes I believe so. I generate more than I use atm but as I transition to battery, EV, electric hot water and cooking and as the FIT gets fazed out I believe I will be in a good spot to be self sufficient30 August 2023

Jaryd was really helpful in explaining all aspects of the system in person and questions relevant to talking to others providing quotes. His quote was provided quickly and we worked through additional options. The installation was arranged quickly. The team was punctual and professional. Jaryd has sorted everything out with my retailer and the system is going great.*My system is 11.2 not 10kw but the drop down doesn’t give me that option

Quick installers, good information of system.
Everything went well, tidy finish up, polite and informative electrician, good explanation of system which would best suit my needs by the salesman. Salesman will drop by later for checks on efficiency of unit.10 months later we asked Ian: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes, it has albeit a bit hard to decipher the data. WIFI has dropped out a few times causing a few data reading issues, but Oslec have been very helpful either by phone or dropping in when in the area.21 July 2023
Very well designed system and professional installation
Jarryd responded almost immediately to our request for a quotation, and then came to the house to clearly explain suitable systems for our roof design, and patiently and knowledgeably answered all our questions.Quotation was very competitive. Oslec is a local South Australian company which was important to us.
Extremely happy with the installation by Simon and his team - very neat and well laid out design.Solar production to date has exceeded our expectations, so more than happy.
The team arrived promptly at the time they stated, worked professionally and efficiently, and left no mess.
Our next-door neighbour made comment the following day on how polite they were! (We noticed that too!)
We had also requested a switch-board upgrade which was, once again, well designed and installed.
As the installation was completed just as the sun was setting they returned the following day to commission the system.
Jarryd did all the paperwork on our behalf and arranged for the grid connection (meter connection).
We are very happy to recommend this company

Oslec made it easy
Receiving a quote from Oslec Solar was a very easy process. I spoke to Jaryd in their shop on Semaphore Road and received an email the same day I spoke to him with lots of information about the solar panels and the pricing. The quote also included a plan for the panels on our roof.The team who came to install the system were very friendly and polite. They arrived on time and got straight on with the job. They left no mess, explained everything before they left, and answered any questions I had.
Oslec organised the grid connection, and that happened about two weeks after the installation.
I cannot recommend them highly enough, as the whole process was completely painless.
I love the app I have on my phone now that shows what is happening with the solar - it is very helpful.
If you are looking for solar in SA, definitely contact Oslec Energy.

Excellent Customer Service & Value for money - Quality all round!
Oslec stock and install only realy quality products, and you can tell that the quality flows through their whole business. Beginning to end it was a pleasure dealing with them.The quote documents they use are outstanding - showing all the ways i can save money and different energy comparisons. Then from quote to install, communication was great so i knew exactly what to expect and when. Delivery pretty fast - i thought i'd be waiting months, but not the case with these guys - we had the install scheduled within a couple of weeks.
On the day, the team were really friendly, professional and polite - always happy to answer my questions. It seemed like nothing was too much trouble. A really great group of guys.
I honestly didnt have to do a thing, the team took care of everything - so no need to organise anything after the install -it was all done for me.
To sum it up - they provide a quality, value for money product combined with an excellent customer experience from beginning to end.

Outstanding Oslec Energy: Top-Notch Service & Performance
I had a 9kW solar system with energy monitoring installed by Oslec Energy last year, and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience. From the very beginning, Jaryd, the sales consultant and system designer, took the time to understand my energy needs and provided me with a range of suitable options. He did an excellent job of explaining the benefits of each and helping me choose the perfect system suited to my needs and property context without overselling. His professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail gave me confidence in my decision.The installation process was smooth and hassle-free, thanks to the team led by Simon. They were punctual, efficient, and demonstrated exceptional workmanship throughout. The installers took great care to ensure a neat and high-quality job, even going the extra mile to conceal any visible cabling. When they finished, they left my property in immaculate condition, making sure to clean up any debris or waste from the installation.
Since the system was installed, the energy generation has exceeded both the original estimate and my expected electricity bill reduction, which I believe is due to the split array design suggested by Jaryd which stretches total generation across more of the day. I have been delighted with the performance of my solar system, which is a testament to the quality of the products and the expertise of the Oslec Energy team.
I highly recommend Oslec Energy for anyone looking to invest in solar for their home. The customer service, professionalism, and commitment to delivering a high-quality product have truly impressed me. I am confident that anyone who chooses Oslec Energy for their solar needs will be just as satisfied as I am.

Very happy!
I wasn't even planning on getting solar but having breakfast on Semaphore road a few months back I noticed Oslec Energy and took a flyer. Spoke with Jaryd who then ran us through how the system could benefit us. We felt very comfortable with Jaryd and the infomration provided. After the initial consult we did some searching and found the SolarQuotes website which also gave us the same information that Jaryd did.Installation was quick and the guys were very neat.
Long story short we are very happy with the outcome and after talking with our friends we got a great deal!

From start to finish these guys were fantastic. Their communication was top notch and they explained everything to me simply and with the detail i required.

They also cleaned up and left my house as though they had never been there! Really good guys.Inverter rating: 5/5

Professional, efficient, friendly solar installer
Jarrad from Oslec solar, right from the get go was super helpful, from selecting the best solar package (12kw) for our needs to the final commissioning of the solar array.The Oslec solar installers were friendly and efficient, the electrician very helpful in understanding the workings of the system.
The best thing was the credit we now receive from our power supplier rather than paying them a large bill.

Professional Solar Installations with Oslec Energy.
I have used Oslec Energy for the installation of my Solar Systems on the last three houses that I have purchased. I have found their professionalism and competitive pricing to be unsurpassed. The installation of the solar system has been of the the highest quality. The installation crew ensures that as a customer any inconvenience I may experience is minimalized. The after instal follow up was really appreciated. I have recommend Oslec Energy to several of my friends and they have been very pleased with the service and installation.

Confusing process made easy.
We initially looked into solar a few years ago but didn't go ahead then as we were confused with all of the information and conflicting information.We decided to look back into it after getting a large energy bill. After contacting Oslec and Jaryd talked us through the process and answered all of the concerns we had previously, I felt very comfortable with the process at Oslec, the team were honest, polite and patient with us as we had more questions than most I think.
Install went smoothly, Simon and the team left the site looking like they were never there, apart from the solar system of course.
Highly recommend.

Great service
Oslec Energy were standouts in the quoting process. They provided the information I was after upfront in a timely way and were highly responsive throughout the process. I appreciated their candour and advice when discussing the best solar package to suit our needs now and into the future.Installation was painless, with the team arriving promptly, minimal disruption to my day, and they left the area clean and tidy. The panels look great on my roof!
Customer support is ongoing due to external delays in getting my meter updated and reporting back on generation/usage but I have high confidence that the system is doing what it needs to do currently and most importantly that I will receive timely and responsive support if that is not the case.

An excellent and pain-free process to upgrade our old system
Thanks to SolarQuotes for providing us with three excellent companies to deal with and quote on upgrading our 10 year old + 2.3 kW system.The standout was OSLEC Energy and we were impressed that it was actually the Managing Director of the small company that came out to see us, whereas the other two opted to provide quotes using NearMap in the first instance.
Jaryd from OSLEC Energy is a qualified Electrician and actually designs and installs systems. To us, this clearly gave him a considerable edge over the other two sales people, when explaining things and answering our questions.
After meeting with Jaryd he provided us quotes on budget, medium and high end systems and explained the pro's and con's of each one. He actually talked us out of the biggest system and installing a battery at this time and we opted for a 9.75 kW system.
We were happy to wait a month for the installation which commenced as planned and the installers were here at the arranged time. They stopped slightly earlier than planned on the first day, due to weather, but had already removed the old system and done a lot of the on roof work before finishing.
It had been planned as a two day installation but the following day (a Friday) was forecast to be wet. Rather than tie up the installers for Friday and the likelihood of them being unable to work, we were happy to have the job finished on the following Monday.
Monday saw the job completed and the three installers tidied up everything before leaving.
There was no need to organize the grid connection because we already had panels and a smart meter installed. They demonstrated the inverter, shut down procedure etc.
The icing on the cake was the first full day after the installation. On a winter's day with some cloud we produced 33 kWH, compared to the day before the installation when we produced only 1 kWH!
We highly recommend the professionalism of this small business.

Responsive and Tailored Solar Solution
Jaryd met with me early in the quote development process and provided patient and professional responses to all my solar system queries. Simon also addressed my installation concerns. This level of engagement gave me confidence that I would get a solar system installed to a high standard that met my needs.The installation process progressed in a quiet methodical manner over a two-day period. System handover and grid connection was also smooth.
Overall this was a very satisfying experience – one that I will happily repeat when I get a home battery installed in a year or two's time.
Good experience
The sales/quoting experience was aided with an on-site visit which other quotes didn't offer. It was a close decision with other installers but this along with being local made us choose Oslec.The install was done well considering it was a warm day and tiresome work. We are still booking in a time to go through the system and how to monitor it.
