Our Solar Division is proudly Australian Owned and Operated servicing clients throughout Queensland. Our offices are located throughout Queensland with our headquarters in Capalaba, Brisbane.

Excellent Service
We were impressed by the REA team. They all turned up on the time that they had booked in for a month before. They were a happy and friendly group of guys who did the job quickly and professionally. They even replaced broken tiles on the roof with new ones that we had supplied.We would have no hesitation in recommending REA Solar for your new system.
After a month it would appear that the system works as promised and the App information is very easy to interpret and useful.

Underperforming but otherwise good
Prompt and efficient sales and installation.Unfortunately, actual performance has only been about 75% of the ‘average’ level predicted.
My personal electrician also needed to do a lot of work making the junction box safe and tidy after the install - but I cannot say whether or how much of this was due to REA.
Would consider using them again but I would seriously derate any predictions they give me about performance of the system.

Good customer service, no "pressure" sales pitch, sales guy was very pleasant to deal with, and installation process was very efficient!
Easy quoting process, excellent installation, very tidy, punctual and professional installation!8 months later we asked John: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
The system has, and still is working fantastically.........tremendous saving on electricity costs!17 October 2020

Great installer and good quality products.
- Sales process was a bit time consuming, but everything was explained thoroughly and worth it.- Installation team was very professional, punctual and efficient. Handover and training was very good.
- REA team arranged for a EWR to switch over the metering and sales representative followed up after installation if everything was in order .

Really understand the needs of the customer
These guys are at the cutting edge of domestic solar and really listen to what you need and are looking for. We went with a Micro inverter system for maximum yield.21 August 2019
REA solar rep Brett Haughtey was excellent put a 10 panel system in and later put an 8 panel added to it. Product is excellent does everything as claimed.
REA solar rep Brett Haughtey was excellent explained their system in detail had a previous system on another house however when one panel went down the whole system died and of course the only way you know that when your elect bill doesn’t show any FIT REA system has an inverter on each panel and the apps lets you monitor all panels. On a good day we get 26 kw23 January 2019

Very hard to determine appropriate system - in relay, micro inverters etc. Your website and assistance was very helpful in understanding the issues. Hard to get a handle on which system is more Tesla Powerwall ready? According to salespeople they all are!8 months later we asked Brian: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Very much so.20 April 2016

Very happy customer
The Sales/quoting process from Guy was excellent. After he had finished his visit I felt extremely well informed about the whole proposed system and very comfortable with what I had been shown. Now that we have had our first 3 month bill from our supplier, I am very happy to be seeing a great result. The REA back to base and WiFi app are great tools to see what is happening and I regularly have a look at what my new solar system is providing us. Thank you!Inverter rating: 5/5
