Solar ph system review of Sky Solar
Quoting process was simple and quick. Installation was professional,prompt and efficient. Customer service was ( keeping in mind that the installation was completed only 4 weeks ago ) good and all that I expected. Inspection and grid connection was organised by the installer06 June 2021
Great price
Great price but salesperson is extremely hard to contact afterwards. There is no direct number, or surname provided. I also requested consumption monitoring so I could gauge how much I was consuming as well as generating but all I got was how much I was generating.Panel rating: 5/5
Inverter rating: 5/5

Greatest to deal with, from start to finish. But after sales service is worst ever, if you have any issues. Good luck, took us 8 weeks to have failed inverter replaced.

8 months later we asked Les: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes.19 December 2019
Cheaper install on the same high end products
We received quotes from a lot of different people on our 6.5kw Jinko system with a 5kw Sungrow Inverter. And for the same product, these guys were over a $1000 cheaper. Install was done within 2 weeks. I'm no expert so I don't know how the quality of their install compares to others. But so far the panels are delivering the numbers as promised.Thanks

Hello and sorry we had to go outside your three recommendations, one was a not good and one was very expensive and dominant!! (neither did you justice and should have not been recommended). Another was fantastic in almost every way, but sadly almost $1000- dollars more than the superb system we now have. We wish to thank you for your help, we learnt a lot about solar from you and without it, we would not have got the great deal and system we are enjoying now. Many Many Thanks Roy and Judith Gardener (ps we held off on this reply until all was finished, up and running and signed off)

Original Review on 15-11-2017:
Hi,Some of our friends have shown an interest in our installation of solar panels on our roof in July 2017, We have deliberately waited until we had one full Quarter of unobstructed electricity generation to see how this investment in Solar Panels panned out
Some History:-
We live in a 20 yr old, Large 4 Bedroom, 2 Garage brick and tile roof suburban house with a large pool, air-conditioning, Insulated roof cavity, Solahart hot water, Sauna and No gas appliances situated on the north side of Brisbane. There are only generally 2 of us but we did have a son stay with for a few weeks last quarter
Previous power use:-
The last 8 quarters of Electric Power bills from Origin Energy were as follows
Aug 2015 ---- $533
Nov 2015---- $454
Feb 2016----$747
June2016----$565
Aug 2016----$556
Nov 2016----$470
Feb 2017----$621
June2017----$531
Av. Bill = $560 per Quarter
We started looking at solar earlier this year and ended up with about 10 quotes with the stipulation that they quote and install (the biggest under existing Law) a 6.5kv system with a 5 kv Fronius inverter made in Austria (which is battery ready when batteries are cheap enough to install) and tier 1 solar panels. We ended up with quotes ranging from $4480 to $7100. We accepted a quote with 26 x 270w Lightway solar panels and of course the 5kw Fronius inverter
In July we entered a monthly ongoing contract with Origin Energy to get 14c per kv generated from solar and they charge us 26.96c per kv for any power we use from the grid. ( we exported (1844kw) or 2.5 times as much into the grid then we took out (744kw) at night) during the quarter in what I must say was a rather cool, wet and cloudy spring for Queensland.
The only changes we made to our lifestyle were that we converted where practical all light bulbs from Fluro to LED , had the pool pump on at midday instead of midnight and if we thought about it we would set the dishwasher and washing machine to do a load during the day if we were out. But we will still use the Sauna and dryer after dusk if we feel like it
We had a bill for last quarter (Nov 2017) of $62 for 3 months power use or 69 cents a day
If we can keep our bills at around $62 then the payback time on the $4480 solar investment is two and a quarter years or over 44% per year return on our investment - After 2.25 years we have free power or very minimal bills for the next 20 yrs and/or until cheaper batteries arrive?????
We will keep you informed
4 months later we asked Peter: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"

We went with sky solar, not on your list but mentioned very favourably by a number of your reviewers and a good write -up on your website. it was a toss up with eurosolar found from the same source. The three you suggested all came with quotes at least $1000 higher. Lastly Skysolar upgraded the panels for no extra cost when they ran out of stock. same brand and model no. but higher specs with iron free glass. Many thanks, regards Carey E
