Great experience on our first exploration into Solar with Solar Depot
We shopped around and decided to go with Solar Depot after a meeting with Joff who was informative, helpful, unhurried and explained Solar in comprehensive but easy to understand manner. A major factor was the reasonable price. Communication during the wait for installation was prompt and helpful in answering our enquiries.Despite Corona restrictions installation occurred on schedule and without a problem. Andre and the team left the site spotless. We are eagerly waiting to reap the rewards of our first electricity bill in a couple of months! Thanks guys for a job well done!

Now our system seems to be only generating half of the yearly input and after numerous calls from us nothing has been resolved
Did not return any calls when I spoke to them and manager is very arrogant leaving his office girl to flounder with answers.
Now they donât even supply the inverters or panels that were supposed âstate-of-the-artâ

As cost was not my own, I went with 5.6KW battery system as well.
It will be interesting to see how it goes.
So far very well

The Solar system will be installed this Friday. So far the service has been very profesonal. Thankyou for your great service.8 months later we asked Michael: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
The system has been in operation for 8 months and is going very well. The installation carried out by Solar Depot was excellent. Very happy at this stage.08 July 2016

SolarQuotes suggested 2 pretty good companies and 1 excellent company to provide quotes. The people at Solar Depot (who we decided to go with) were knowledgeable and able to explain things in layman's terms. They did not get impatient! Thus far they have been efficient. A site inspection was done so that all potential issues could be preempted. Thoroughly recommend this service.8 months later we asked Ania: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"

We paid our deposit on 4th December, with installation promised for end of December.
System was finally installed on 9 May!
Installer actually said I would have been better off buying direct from him rather than dealing with Solar Depot - no upfront deposit and guaranteed installation date.
No contact at all from salesperson or head office to update on progress; we had to continually chase them for any info.
Promised info on how to check readouts on inverter to check operation of system - received info 3 months later, again after chasing a number of times.
Paid final instalment as arranged (once info finally received) - 2 months later get a call from a debt collection agency (not even courteous enough to enquire themselves).
Steer clear of them and go with a professional company instead.

14 months later we asked Bruce: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Lived up to our expectations. We came through Winter without a power bill, which was the test. Having said that we are looking to increase the number of panels by another 4 to six so that our power production during winter will be ahead of consumption. The Money credit was due to being paid more for our power to the grid then power consumption offset during winter. We currently have 16 panels05 September 2012

Firm is based in a nearby suburb (easy physical access in case of later need etc) & provided us with option of Inverter type (a cheaper"chinese' job or an 'Italian" made 'Aurora that we had already heard good reports about from friends).
Initial information provided by Finn Peacock- SolarQuotes.com.au was excellent & gave us comfort to then deal with the previously 'unknown' world of solar power/installers etc.

Very professional and did an awesome job at accommodating my requirements.
Solar Depot staff were punctual, took the time to explain things, arenât out for a quick money grab like most of the solar companies around.They listened to what I wanted to achieve ( Utilise my existing panels, replace the inverter and add more panels )
All the other companies tell you it canât be done, solar depot did it.
