Solar System Review

Thoroughtec were a very professional company to deal with.
The whole process from quote to installation was very easy and the final install was very professional.
The sales and install teams were very friendly, efficient and completed an excellent job.
Show Details

Fantastic experience, highly recommended!

Of all the quotes I received Adrian/Thoroughtec were the only ones to come onsite to provide a (ver competitive) quote.

Great process, fantastic communication and very professional in every way!

The install is for a new build (which has suffered multiple delays, none of which were Thoroughtec's issue) but we got there in the end!

I can't speak more highly of Adrian and the Thoroughtec team!

Seamless install and a perfect experience

Everything was absolutely perfect. From initial quote to execution of the work. The process was exactly how I wanted it to go.

Pitiful Service from the sales company...great service from the installer

Had a PV system and a Tesla Powerwall battery installed 4 years ago. Initially the sales company appeared to be doing a good job...took the money, took care of the paperwork and organised a contractor (Thoroughtec) to do the installation.

Over the last 4 years there have been a few issues with the system and on every occasion the service from the sales company has been pitiful and Thoroughtec have stepped in and sorted out the issues at no cost to me.

Would highly recommend Adrian and his guys for any PV/battery installation.

What a fantastic experience

Wow, what a fantastic experience from the moment Adrian from Thoroughtec Solar returned my phone call seeking advice on problems with our then solar system through to the installation of our new system, Through every step of the process involving visiting our home, diagnosing our problems, quoting alternative system options, installing our chosen new system and giving advice on alternative energy providers, Adrian’s communication and customer service was first class. The installation commenced on the promised date and the staff involved were professional, polite, friendly, efficient and best of all the site was fully cleaned up before they left. Post installation service has also been excellent. We would highly recommend Adrian and his team.

Great install and excellent system

The Thoroughtec Solar team provided a great service installing a PV and battery solution in our new house. Their quote was very competitive compared with 3 other suppliers. The location and installation of the 24 × 440W Jinko Solar Tiger Neo panels looks rock solid coupled with a Sungrow 3 Phase inverter and a Sungrow 9.6kWH battery. Final installation and setup was quick and the iSolarCloud app and website make it dead easy to understand what the system is doing. Even with a fairly low feed-in tariff I'm actually making money out of this system, at least in the cooler months. Overall highly recommend Thoroughtec Solar.

Professional installation and good people.to deal with

Prior to sending me the quotation, Adrian from Thoroughtec came to my property to discuss my needs and assess the potential installation, which I really appreciated.
The quotation was professionally presented.
The installation went smoothly over 2 days and the team installed all components neatly and cleaned up upon completion.
Thoroughtec followed up with documentation and information, helped me to use my app and provided additional links to show how I can take advantage of my system's capacity.
All in all I am very happy with how the installation has gone.

So easy to work with

Thank you to the Thoroughtec team for making the installation of our new solar system so easy. This was a difficult property that no other solar company would look at for us. I contacted Thoroughtec and there were no issues or concerns from them from day 1, I'm now happily creating solar power.

A Quality company with fantastic installation

Adrian and the team at Thoroughtec Solar and Electrical were fantastic right from the start of proceedings, to the final installation.Adrian came out to my premises and completed a site inspection, taking note of shading issues on my north facing roof as well suggesting the most beneficial location of the solar inverter and the panels.Adrian was the only representative from a solar company to do this as the majority were only online quotes with google satellite views for location of the solar panels.The fact that he actually went out of his way to come out to my premises before sending a quote shows a level of consideration of the customers needs and concerns they may have.The final quote was not over priced or under priced for the equipment installed and I was given an option to use inferior equipment for a cheaper price .The installation team arrived on time and completed the whole job in about 4 and a half hours.They were courteous and answered any questions asked of them with a explanation that was clear and concise.Overall a fantastic experience and I wholeheartedly recommend them for your solar installation.

Thoughtful service

The Thoroughtec quote benefited from a site inspection as they were adding to an existing 13 year old system. The price was competitive. They provided an eficient and well managed installation. They thought carefully about options and we ended up with the inverter in a different - and better - location. Their staff were tidy and courteous and the handover was done well. Space was limited in the house switchboard and so they changed plan on the day and installed new switchgear in the meter box, leaving space for a EV charger connection at a later date. This change resulted in a small price reduction and a tidier overall result. I was consulted properly about the changes.

Helpful, Efficient & Quality 6.6kw Sungrow Solar

Easy and efficient solar process. Our old 1.5kw system died so we got quotes for repairs and then figured we'd quote up a new system. Adrian was helpful from the get go and happy to discuss options and our needs on the phone before coming out for a measure and quote. He gave a few options that suited our situation, and shortly after an install date was organised. A couple of weeks or so later and his team show up to do the install - they were punctual, polite, efficient and helpful.

Highly recommend and really happy that we chose them for the install. Smooth process, competitive quote, and highest quality service compared to some others we got quotes from.

Have a problem with solar. These folks can fix it.

I had an old system which had failed and I rang around a few companies. Adrian from thoroughtec called me back, gave me advice to make the system safe and came round quickly to assess and fix the issue. He gave me a range of options to resolve the issue and we decided that a whole new system would be the best course. The new system was bigger and fitted onto my roof perfectly. The installation was scheduled and the team arrived on time and completed the job quickly and cleanly. The team were extremely friendly , helpful and professional. The area was left immaculate. I received messages after the installation to confirm that everything was to my liking and that I was satisfied.

I could not be happier with my new system and the whole team involved in fixing my problem.

Exceptional Solar Installation Experience

Adrian, from Thoroughtec, is an absolute gem. His dedication to tailoring a system to my specific needs was truly remarkable and gave me the confidence that I was making the right choice. The installation itself was carried out flawlessly and within the promised timeframe. The installation team demonstrated a high level of expertise and precision, leaving no room for doubt about their professionalism and skill.

Since the installation, my solar system has been performing beyond my expectations, delivering significant energy savings and reducing my carbon footprint. I couldn't be happier with the results, and it's clear that this company uses top-quality materials and employs highly skilled technicians.

In addition to my own satisfaction, I have personally recommended Thoroughtec to friends and family who have also chosen them for their solar needs. The feedback I've received from those I've referred has been nothing but positive, further validating my trust in this company.

If you're in the market for a solar system installation and want a company that is professional, personable, and committed to delivering a tailored solution, look no further. I wholeheartedly endorse, Thoroughtec and their team, they have earned my highest recommendation. I am confident they will do the same for anyone fortunate enough to choose their services.

Great Solar Installation Experience

I recently had the pleasure of working with Thoroughtec and I am happy to share my positive experience. From start to finish, their service has met or exceeded my expectations in every aspect.

The installation process was completed much quicker than I anticipated, without compromising on quality. The team was very well prepared and finished the whole job (10.5kW system, single inverter) in less than a day. The panels, wiring and the inverter were all expertly installed with attention to detail. All cracked/broken tiles were replaced free of charge and the roof was carefully inspected afterwards. I have confidence that the system will operate flawlessly for years to come.

Throughout the entire project, the communication from Thoroughtec was superb. Adrian was consistently responsive, keeping me informed at every step of the process. Their transparency and willingness to address my questions and concerns demonstrated their commitment to customer satisfaction.

I was very impressed by the valuable advice and guidance I received from Adrian and Andre. They took the time to assess my specific needs and provided insightful recommendations to optimize my solar setup. They also put my existing hot water system on a timer, reducing future water heating bills.

In conclusion, great service! After having less fortune with some other tradespeople in the past, I can say that Thoroughtec have set a benchmark for professionalism, efficiency, and expertise in the trades industry. Highly recommended.

Thank you, Adrian, Andre, Sophia, and the rest of the team, for making this a seamless and rewarding experience.

Fantastic company to deal with, couldn't be happier with the installation.

We had plenty of quotes before we decided to have solar installed. From the moment we first spoke with Adrian from Thoroughtec solar and electrical we knew we were in capable hands. His professional and down to earth nature convinced us they were perfect for the job. They weren't the cheapest quote we had, but the old saying goes you get what you pay for. Couldn't be happier with the install, as a tradie myself I have pretty high standards. Andre and his team did an amazing job, kept us informed during the entire process. I would have no hesitation in recommending Thoroughtec Solar and Electrical for any works you may require.

Thanks again team

Incredibly professional install from all involved at this business

The quote was a very easy process through their sales manager, very polite, very knowledgeable and no nonsense.

I had the installation done on a residential rental property, the team at Thoroughtech liaised with my property manager and the tenants to ensure a very smooth and punctual install.

Excellent customer service, again very streamlined, no messing around from quote to install. As at completion I was provided a mobile application to show the current energy production, consumption and grid drawdown to track the systems performance.

100% will use them again on future projects.

The whole installation was completed in just under 1 day. Adrian was very helpful and had the time to answer every question I had before and during the installation. After doing my homework on solar systems Adrian was consistent with what I have read on solar beforehand. Workmanship was very professional, too the book. Adrian and his staff even took off their boots when doing work inside the house. All in all very happy with Throughtec and will definitely recommend them.

100% Recommend

I could not be happier with the experience of working Adrian and the team from the quote through to post-installation. Through receiving four quotes for a solar and battery package, Adrian was the only one who came out to look at the house to physically see the roof space to determine the best panel positioning and to fully understand our electricity usage. He also has the same solar components that we chose, so I knew he was talking from true experience when recommending our options and alleviating my concerns. Andre and the installation team were all great to deal with and were friendly and polite, despite our install day being the one day of the week where it rained all day – they just pushed through and got the job done! Post-install and paying the invoice, Adrian has continued to answer my questions and queries making me feel like a valued customer and not just another job done!
Show Details

Great service and quality of work

Adrian replaced a failed system for me and did a fantastic job and made the whole process painless. It was a little bit of a tricky job as he had to integrate it with an existing system and a Tesla battery. He handled it all perfectly. His professionalism
was a big relief after dealing with another installer who didn’t remember me every time that I called (5 calls!).

He turned up exactly when stated - multiple times, for the initial inspection, to do the job, to come back and have a look at the app, and then to do a meter upgrade. He even texted to check that all was okay. I can highly recommend. This is the second system that Adrian has done for me.
