Fantastic to work with, even when things don't go right
Solenergy were fantastic to work with from beginning to end. I had a couple of challenges on my side getting ready and Lisa was very understanding and helpful. The overall setup was designed well with great communication, and installation went without a hitch. After I found a leak near one of the panels during heavy rain, Nick and the crew even came back to check it out and determined it probably wasn't related to their install, but siliconed it up and didn't charge me regardless.Great company who care about doing the right thing by their customers. Would definitely recommend.

Practical advice, great sales support and professional installation.
Thank you to Adam and the team for an excellent experience from the first call to the final installation and commissioning. Can’t fault this company.07 August 2024
Fantastic overall experience!
I've had an overall fantastic experience with Solenergy. Mark was very approachable and accommodating, happy to adjust our system/quote to ensure we chose the right system for us. He was flexible on brands/models but provided guidance on who he recommends. Their price was competitive with other quotes requested. Steven and his team installed the system efficiently but to a good quality, and were happy to explain everything as they were going. We have just had a government inspection of the setup (battery, panels, inverter) and they noted that it's one of the best installation they've assessed and given it as high score as they could. Overall 5/5 and would happily recommend Mark and Steven for anyone looking to install a solar setup.Panel rating: 5/5

Know thier product well
Their salesperson, Mark, knew his product well. As I'm from the electricity sector, I probably had some more curly questions than usual. Some other suppliers didn't have the same level of knowledge. Mark was patient while I tossed options e.g. AC and DC systems back and forth, eventually settling on a 10KW DC Sungrow system with Hyundai panels. The installation was arranged quickly and the quality of the workmanship was excellent. I'm pleasantly surprised by the generation achieved on overcast days - eager to see how it performs in summer.07 May 2024

Solenergy have been great to work with right from the start. The sales rep was great, the installation team were prompt, finished before schedule and were clean and tidy.Highly recommended.

Timely and expertly installed
Despite meeting some awkward and unpredictable install issues the solar was completed in 1 day.Everyone was very friendly and professional. Everyone arrived on time. Installed within 2 weeks of quote. Some others were talking months
They also came out to troubleshoot the wifi issues, which didn't impact on the functionality of the system but were tricky for me as a little technology shy to rectify

Great Installation
Sales/Quoting Process : Clear answers were given to all questions and at no time did I feel "pressured" to buyInstallation was prompt and seemed to me to show great attention to detail.Adam Ric and Ty made a great team and left me with the feeling that the choice of Solenergy was a good one.
I would have no hesitation in recommending them to potential buyers of a solar system.

Very pleased
Very professional from getting the quote from Adam Christie , to having it all installed and having everything explained , monitoring it on line in simple language for an old guy. The follow up service has been very good and will not hesitate to recommend Solenergy to any of my family and friends, Doug Young28 November 2023
Great quality installer!
Great customer service. Very transparent. Very punctual and customer service was awesome!15 November 2023
Good sales people, bad customer service.
The quoting process was very well done and easy to understand.Issue 1: Work carried out was not as discussed with the inverter being installed not in the position discussed at time of quoting. The technician completing the install did not call to ask where he should place it.
Issue 2: Sadly work quoted was not completed as per quote. With the power box upgrade not being done as quoted. (they asked for payment the day before)
Issue 3: Install included conduit being run right down the bottom of the wall where it becomes a hazard as it is touching the grass, flexible conduit not pushed into hard conduit with wires being exposed.
When I called to discuss these issues with the owner. He was quite rude, called me a liar when I said the installer never called. Was sarcastic when I asked why the power box wasn't installed as per quote. Said he would fix these issues if I paid more. Went on to say it was my fault for not being home on the day of install (I guess the installers need someone to keep an eye on them)
I had originally organized to retain one of the solar panels from the old install, the owner explained they couldn't let me keep one which I respect. He then said to make up for all the errors he would drop a second hand one they had tested off to my house. He didn't do that.
The install works, I haven't been on the roof to check the panel install, looks good from the ground. I wouldn't use them again.

Solar install
Quote was more detailed than the others, the salesman actually looked at my old system where the others didn’t.Lisa in the office was awesome, extremely helpful throughout the whole process and answered all my questions. Installation took a bit longer than expected apparently but by the time I got home from work it was all connected and up and running.

So glad we decided to do this after thinking about it for so long
From then moment Adam came to quote us till we received all the warranties and sign off the communication has been excellent. Price was far less than we were expecting significantly cheaper than another quote with comparable products.We had a stack of questions which were answered thoroughly. install happened quickly and professionally. We are very happy we finally took the plunge. Adam and Lisa who we dealt with were very helpful and attentive.

Solar install
They made the effort to understand our requirements and design a system that fitted with the roof designs and orientation.While it took a bit longer to install due to the difficulty of running wires with our house shape, there was no issue that they would do the job within the quoted price and without compromising the quality of the work
They always answered my dumb questions patiently and clearly.

We had to rethink our inverter location on the morning of install due to some ventilation issues, but they worked with us to quickly adjust the plan and I actually think we ended up with a better solution in the end.

Great service, great quality, great price
The quote process was very quick and Adam was super helpful with any questions I had. They installed it 5 days later which was a very impressive turn around. They had the most competitive price out of all the trusted installers. Highest of recommendations for Solenergy. Great experience.09 June 2023
Knowledgeable and efficient
Adam was fantastic from start to finish, we had quotes for multiple system sizes and brands we felt well informed and are really happy with the system we chose. The installation was able to take place 2 days after paying the deposit. I have already recommended Solarenergy group to neighbours who have noticed the new panels.27 May 2023

Good installation
Experienced sales person, discussed best place to put panels on roof, and best place to put inverterInstallation team were contractors but did a good job and cleaned up everything ,and took away old system.
Set up monitoring and showed how to monitor using my Android device.
Customer service seemed a bit lax, failed to send final invoice when I paid after install.
( sent a invoice when deposit was paid , then a invoice with $0 to be paid before instal.?)
No one has contacted me to ask if system is working OK and was I satisfied etc.
Grid connection was already in place from old system
I arranged a new plan with Origin to suit the new solar system

Thanks for taking the time to write a review Ronald - we appreciate your feedback. It’s been great to clear up your concerns with invoices – we’re so glad you have since found the invoicing you thought was never sent. The zero-balance invoice is emailed to all Solenergy clients as a record for finalising the account. We’re pleased to hear how happy you are with your installation – we only work with the best! And all our accredited installers are part of our Solenergy family.10 months later we asked Ronald: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes I have saved about $934 total over the last 3 quarterly bills so far family of 3. ( installation in middle of quarterly bill)18 May 2023

First class service
An experienced, knowledgable and professional solar company principal who delivered everything promised from quote to signing off. The performance and attitude of all in his team, both in the office and on site was exemplary.Solenergy honoured the quoted price despite extensive difficulty in gaining access to our convoluted roof and 27 degree pitch, took extreme care to look after our pristine property and were a pleasure to deal with at every level.
I recommend the Solenergy team highly and would definitely use them again for another property

Quality Service
The quote was detailed and well explained. My questions were answered, and I was left details to go over before making my decision. I was followed up a week later as planned and had my final questions answered. The installation was well organised and on time. The installer explained what was to be done then provided me with photos of the finished product and explained the system and how it worked. I was followed up by the team the next day with how the connection would take place. Everything was done for me.
