Expansion of existing Enphase / Longi system
For expansion of existing system, we wanted to use the same company as previous owners, to minimise chance of warranty troubles if something went wrong and for knowledge of existing system. Sales process was responsive and patient. Installation was on time. Installers were polite and helpful. There were a few issues (at Enphase) with transferring Enphase enlighten monitoring into my name, which Solar Tactics assisted with. The price quoted wasn't super cheap, but we had limited roof space and expected and got a microinverter and panel installation that has worked well.Panel rating: 5/5

Quality installer with exceptional level of service
Have my solar system install by Solar Tactics on the 14/11/2023. They where very professional in term of approach and work been carried out.Sales/quoting process was precise and clear in outline all the necessary rebate and warranty.
Installation was very professional done and keep the area tidy afterward.
Customer service was great and when out of there way to get everything is up and running.
Highly recommend them for anything relate to Solar and Electrical work.
I even have a Zappi V2.1 EV charger install by them.

Might be small company but one you can trust
Sale was a breeze with no issues ,all question answered and they did not try to sell me something I didn't need in fact the opposite I thought I had done my research and knew what i needed but I was only going to waste money on panels I didn't need. Install was done on the date set and the boys couldn't be more professional . The whole install went smoothly and connection to the grid , inspections and explanations on setting up the inverter (we bought Fronius ) was done without any problems . These guys know their stuff and I highly recommend them.

Would recommend.
Was referred to Solar Tactics from my sister who got a 11kw system installed through them in 2022. The whole quoting process was simple and streamlined. We had good communication with the company throughout. We went for an 6.64kw system. Even the installation was simple, just had to wait a few weeks for the rain to subside after my rebate was approved. On installation day, everything went smoothly and the guys made the inverter look so slick with how they did all the cables, the panels look so good too especially now those unsightly individual DC isolators aren’t mandatory anymore. System is up and running and working well. Luckily for us we only had to wait a few days before the electrical inspector came around and signed everything off and we could fire it up.Panel rating: 5/5

Excellent to deal with.
The team was informative and responsive both during the quoting process and installation. The installation went very smoothly with no issues at all so far. The installation team was very polite and left the place very clean and tidy. Overall it was an excellent customer experience. The price wasn’t the cheapest however the experience I had with the team was the best.10 months later we asked James: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
We are very happy with the performance, it has delivered the savings as expected.28 January 2023
Great Value Install
Jason and the team from Solar Tactics provided a high quality solar system, great communication during the install and after-sales support and were very cost competitive.I'd highly rate them for a solar install, and I found them to be great at listening for the specific kind of system i was after and then working within that budget/needs (Future rental home - medium level investment etc.)
The installers were also great about dealing with a roof that was a little worse for wear including shuffling tiles around and sealing a couple up that was not expected, but very appreciated.
Finally, I really valued that Solar Tactics were happy to overprovision panels and they were concious of placing my inverter in a sensible location out of the sun, despite it being a more complex cable run.

Excellent Service all round
The end-to-end experience with Solar Tactics was nothing short of great. I was never pressured into buying anything, they were very informative answering many questions I had and very prompt in their replies to the questions.During the install process, the team was very friendly, respectful and worked very hard to deliver a great outcome. They are trustworthy and left the working area very tidy.
The whole process was managed by their team end-to-end and it was as seamless as you can reasonably expect.
Highly recommended!

Top class installation company
From the outset, Jason was prompt with quotes and always helpful. I wanted a local company with good reviews and certainly found them. Dennison was friendly, hard- working, tidy and led the installation. Peregrina communicated superbly at all stages and the grid connection was seamless. The app is amazing. Solar Tactics excel in all ways. I would recommend them fully.Panel rating: 5/5

Excellent service from start to finish!
Very happy with the whole process. Jason was very quick and knowledgeable with all my solar newbie questions after receiving the quote! Then when we decided to go ahead the installation process was very quick and Denison the installer was great! I had questions about the app a few weeks later and Denison called back straight away and took the time to walk me thru everything again! Our bill has significantly dropped the past month after having these installed, and I highly recommend the guys at Solar Tactics!19 November 2022
Competitive and friendly
Very pleasant experience from beginning to the end. The price quote is very competitive. The installation was arranged very quickly after the rebate approval was granted. The whole team is great to deal with. They helped organize the grid connection after the install. Highly recommended!16 November 2022

We were very happy with the entire process. The team were friendly, punctual, and they were good in explaining the system to us.The installation went very smoothly and hassle free.

Highly Recommended Solar Tactics
Wish I had this done sooner than later but I sat on the quote for over 12 months. Then I took the plunge and went ahead with a revised quote of course.From the beginning to end everything went perfectly could not be faulted in any aspect of the job. Everyone I had dealings with were always very prompt, polite, tidy (wow they cleaned up so well) and on schedule.
A very professional company which I have recommended to a friend and they also couldn’t talk more highly of the company.

Swish deal. Awesome installer. Grow with the sun!
Jason in sales was great to chat with. I asked for numerous changes to my quote as I learned my way through products. He was very accommodating and quick. In the end we choose a Sungrow inverter (Sungrow Hybrid SH6.0RS) and battery (Sungrow SBR096) with Q-Cell panels (Q-Cells Q.MAXX BLK-G4+ 390).The installation team was by far the best part. Dennison is awesome to work with. He and his team were very respectful and caring with our property, keeping it clean and undamaged. They were very detailed in their work and cared about what I thought regarding some decisions that had to be made. He is easy to get in contact with in the days/weeks following the installation for any questions or problems too.
Solar Tactics organised the certifier, grid connection and all paperwork needed with my energy retailer. I will recommend them to anyone who asks me about Solar, in fact I already have!! Service and installation is everything.

Sensational experience
Solar Tactics are simply amazing. We had our Solar roof top system installed 3 years ago, with which we are delighted, and have reaped the $ benefits. We have now recently added a Solar battery to the system.From the Solar System quote with Alan in 2019, and his continuing advice regarding a battery, then the recent Battery Quote and unlimited explanations with Jason, to the installation from Dennison and Callum, the whole process was easy to understand, professionally conducted, and Peregrina in the office maintained the information flow superbly.
We cannot recommend Solar tactics highly enough, and when our plug in Hybrid car comes into being they shall be there to assist with the installation of that system as well.
Well done to all at Solar Tactics: they are THE BEST.

A business like experience
All three solar installer quotes were received within several days of requesting. One price was notably higher than the other two and this company came from the other side of Melbourne, rather than local to my location, so they were eliminated on that basis. The other two quotes were similar in price and both companies were located not too far away. Both offers were based on what appeared to be excellent quality components so it could have gone either way.Solar Tactics offered an alternative price which was inclusive of a QCell battery and further discussion then took place regarding this component. The final decision went to them mainly because the inverter and battery are integrated, which seemed to me to be a good idea. The follow-up from the remaining company was also excellent and they were perhaps unlucky to miss out as it could easily have gone either way, and I would have no hesitation in using them.
The Solar Tactics representative was helpful in working through the various paperwork, applications, etc and there were no problems. The Solar Tactics crew came to install the solar system approximately two weeks after I paid the deposit and took two days to do the job, They were quiet, careful and efficient and there were no hassles other than a minor problem setting up the monitoring system due to a faulty dongle, which was sorted out a couple of days later.

Excellent customer service
Solar tactics came out twice before installing as our install was not straight forward.They reworked the design a number of times to ensure I was satisfied.
The installers were very professional and a delight to deal with.
Independent inspection happened within a couple of days and system was switched on.
Assisted with set up of the app for the inverter.

Amazing customer focussed service with SolarTactics
We had an exceptional experience with Solar Tactics. All the way from the first call to help with a quote to after install checkin call. Jason was extremely helpful and very accommodating, at no point was pushy to sell. After finding solar tactics through a search on www.solarquotes.com.au, I sent through a huge list of questions to Jason, who replied to each one and explained the responses very clearly and was very helpful to answer my follow-up questions. The panel design and layout was well thought out to maximise catching as much solar as possible during sunrise and sunset as our house is NE facing. And the system we decided to go with was a 6Kw Fronius system with 21 Q-Cells (7.35Kw).I asked for multiple revisions of the quote and options and Jason was more than happy to help.
The install from Formosa Electrics was very smooth and not disruptive. We were a bit unlucky having to delay the install a few times with two lock downs. But when it got done the installers were very professional and explained how to operate the system. They left the property nice and tidy and also wore masks when on site as per my instructions.
After the install we noticed one of the panels visible from the yard was a little lower than the others. I called Jason and within hours the installers came over to check the panel and found one of the holding screws needed adjusting. 5 mins and nice and straight panels.
We've now had solar for about 8 months, and compared to the last two years we've reduced our bills in summer by 70-80% and winter by 40-50%, which is on par with what was quoted in the payback period of 5 years (see charts attached).
Thanks SolarTactics, I highly recommend.

I can't fault anything so would highly recommend them.
Jason and his team at Solar Tactics where excellent from the very start, happy to help with any questions I had about the technology, ROI, quote, solar approval process and the installation. Their communication during the application process, the lead up to installation day and then afterwards was spot on and they have continued to provide support when I had questions. The installation went without a hitch and the installation team were efficient, considerate and cleaned up after themselves. They didn't leave until they had setup the monitoring and explained how everything worked. I had them upgrade the meter box at the same time. Jason called me the next day to check how everything went. Can't fault anything they did.21 June 2022
Quick one day install
No pressure sales process over a two month period after initial quote and negotiated a different inverter along with a monitoring plan.After accepting and providing a deposit, system was installed after another month. The installers were prompt, professional and even worked in the pouring rain. Would have understood if they had to rescheduled due to the weather but they got it done before the end of the day.
inspection occurred about two weeks later with no issues mentioned by the inspector. The sparky paid another visit the same day to make sure the inverter was working properly and I had access to the monitor.
Customer service organised the grid connection and signed off with the energy retailer for the FIT after another week. Looking forward to the first energy bill and then negotiating for a better plan in the near future.

Fantastic company to deal with
Highly recommend the team at Solar Tactics. I have had my solar for over 12 months and had no issues at all. Price was competitive and the guys that installed did an extremely neat and tidy job. Their after sales services has been amazing and a special shout out to Dennison who went above and beyond to give great customer service. I was connected to the grid within a week and I received all the paperwork in a timely manner. Would be my first choice if I ever move to another property without solar and will use them for any upgrades in the future.Panel rating: 5/5

Super Tidy Job, Highly Communicative.
I spent months learning what hardware to buy and what makes for a good installation. I am part of various Solar groups on Facebook; I learned about clamp zones, exclusions zones, what is up to code, what is not and saw tons of horror stories there.As someone who has a decent idea of what I am looking at now, I am super happy with the tidy work that SolarTactics have done. It was quality hardware, installed very cleanly and up to code.
There were also other little niceties, like running a network cable from my Inverter to my network rack's patch panel and even giving thought to which port to hook it up to, to keep my wiring neat.
My original install date was delayed because of the Victorian Covid lockdowns. Solar Tactics was highly communicative, letting me know what they could and couldn't do as the rules changed. They never left me wondering what the next step was.
As soon as they could get back to work, they had me booked in within two weeks and had a large team install it all in about 5 hours. Left the area clean and tidy, friendly and professional the whole time.
They made sure I understood how to use everything before leaving and got the process started on their end with my energy retailer, whose inspector came about five days later (who also said they did a really good job).
About one or two weeks after it was running, Solar Tactics gave me a follow-up call to ask how it was all going, if I had any questions etc..
Overall, a very positive experience with them.
My $300-400 per month power bills are now zero, and I am even in $70 credit this month. So the investment was well worth it, and glad I chose SolarTactics to do it for me.

Would definitely recommend Solar Tactics!
I rarely put out reviews but this company is worth reviewing. I have been researching panels & inverters (including articles/tips from SolarQuotes) and getting over a dozen quotes (including companies used by other friends) for a solar system for about 3-6 months before deciding to go with Solar Tactics and we are very happy with our decision.Communication is efficient both via email and phone. They answered all my queries including providing several quotes of various options for panel & inverter combination. I have had quotes from other companies whereby they either only provide what they want/sell or would not even give the option of trying different panel and inverter combination. Some companies are also resellers only. I have checked their ABN.
Dennis was happy to come and see the location before starting the job. This is something important to us. Other companies I have requested will only rely on satellite images. It was good that Dennis came because he was able to check that the trees on the side were putting a lot of shadow on the location of the panels. He recommended we trim the trees which we did. Discussed panel locations with Dennis and he was happy to put some on the NE facing section to get the morning sun. Again, I have tried this with other companies and they prefer to only put all panels on one side, something I think is not maximizing the efficiency of the panels.
Installation date was easy to organize even though we had to navigate Covid restrictions and my availability to be at home. Dennis and two other guys came to install the panels. They were very respectful and easy to deal with. They even had to work around my garage door not opening properly (inverter is in the garage). Installation was done neatly, no mess left behind. Replaced a couple of roof tiles. Requested drone photos of the roof after installation and was provided via email.
Documents came in a pack and via email.
Another important aspect I researched was that Solar Tactics is affiliated with an electrical company. This is important in the sense that they know what they are doing and also have certification to install solar systems. As mentioned above some companies are just resellers and would pass the job on to any installer which could be a potential issue in the future.
We are now enjoying the benefits and would happily recommend Solar Tactics, and yes, they are a local business.
Thank you Alan, Dennis and team.

Very satisfied with the result
We started a conversation about installing solar just before the last lockdown happened, so we had a bit of a bumpy ride. Although Solar Tactics have been in touch and pretty transparent about what was happening, which is good. When the lockdown ended, we got our panels installed shortly. Technically the guys did a great job, everything is working like a dream. I can definitely recommend.Panel rating: 5/5

Great and On Time
Overall great experience from getting a competitive quote from Jason (Solar Tactics) to feed-in approval to final installation/inspection.I am now using it for the last two weeks seeing my grid consumption is down to 80% hope this continues even with the panels when they get old.
Also, it took them almost 6 weeks which was much faster than any other providers I will definitely recommend them.

Beautiful Panels, Quality Install, Immaculate Service!
A fantastic experence with Solar Tactics! My initial contact was with Jason. He guided me on what was the most aestically and top performaing system I can get on my property. The quoting process was a breeze, so long as I sent the required information (e.g photo of switchboard, copy of electricity bill and location of swithcboard). I was extremely happy to have recieved the quote promptly and followed up with Alan and he guided me through the quote and answered all of my questions and on how to progress through into the rebate. My system was instlaled within a month as the lockdown restricted movements, in which, Alan and Dennison kept me posted and updated on when the installation could occur.On install day, the team Dennison, Cal and Tony arrived punctually and suggested where to install the inverter. They never took the easy way out and spent extra time to make sure that install was as neat as possible! Our inverter is now a floating Primo! The installers were very polite and explained thoroughly on how to utilise and make the most of my system!
Peregrina was very prompt in getting my system connected to the grid. She sent off all the paperwork promptly and kept me in the loop on what the process was and what entailed.

Solar Tactics are awesome
Great experience with solar tactics. From the initial quote, Jason took on board my requested changes and came back with a fantastic proposal. He then kept me in the loop with the vic rebate process and installation timeframes. With the Vic lockdowns, he still kept me updated and offered options for installation dates. On install day, the team arrived on time and made great suggestions on inverter placement and location of conduits. They could have taken the easy way out and installed the inverter/cabling close to the meter box. But they took the extra time and work to put it in my garage and run the cables through multiple roof access points. Even took the trouble to run the main ac cable to my meter box in my interior brick work where other sparkies had previously said it was too hard. Definitely recommend this team and will let everyone I know who are looking for solar to give them a shout.Panel rating: 2/5

Excellent job
After reading multiple reviews from Solar quotes and having three quotes, I chose Solar Tactics.They were competitively priced and Alan was responsive and prompt to answer my (sometimes silly) questions without any hard sell.
Dennison and the team arrived on time, were friendly and left the place spic and span.
Peregrina also made the grid connection process very smooth ,informing of the likely timelines and doing the required paperwork. As a result, this was quicker and less arduous than I had anticipated.
After 3 months, things are working smoothly and no leaks, broken tiles or inverter breakdowns!
All in all, this was a seamless process at every step. and I am very satisfied with the final result.
I have no hesitation recommending Solar tactics for a solar installation. (I have already!)

Great price and service
Quoting was easy factual and they were very responsive to queries. We decided to go with a battery system and the whole system was installed quickly within 2 weeks of acceptance of quote. The installers were friendly, professional and we were thrilled with the finished product. They also took care of all the paperwork so can highly recommend themSupplier Reply:

Best installer in Melbourne!
Thanks Alan and Dennison for all your efforts on our solar system. From the initial call to installation, they had so much patience with me as i wanted a specific system after doing my research. Highly accommodating on my requests and didnt bat an eyelid unlike some other solar companies that tried to sell me something else.I'd give them 10 stars if i could for the following reasons;
1. Competitively priced.
2. Didnt keep following me up on sales calls to close the sale.
3. Highly meticulous on the install and accommodated my requests.
4. Super responsive on all my emails and calls.
5. Take pride in their work and super honest.
6. Local family run business, they have their own installers and stand by their work.
7. Great aftersales service, i had some issues with reporting on my inverter (not their fault - manufacturers) and they were right onto it and resolved it next business day.
8. Great work ethic, they literally put their customer first. There was some personal issues that the installer was dealing with but still wanted to finish the job in the time frame they promised.
9. Quality of install as you can see on the other reviews.
10. Super tidy, they cleaned up everything throughout the day unlike some other trades!
11. Went out of their way to replace a broken tile for me!
I don't normally write reviews or recommend trades but i always refer this company to my friends given the experience i received from Solar Tactics.
Looking forward to dealing with you again in the future.

Great installer, easy to work with!
The team at Solar Tactics have consistently been a pleasure to work with. They made it easy to get started with solar a few years ago with panels and an inverter, and I've recently had a battery installed by them too.Communication, professionalism and efficiency are all outstanding and I have no concerns about recommending them to anyone in the future.
