“Lots of helpful info on the website. Useful to have some pre-screening of companies. Good transparency in the FAQ on how Solarquotes gets income. Useful to have referrals from local companies.”
“Some really quick responses and quotes from very helpful businesses. One of the three businesses has still not quoted three weeks after initial contact.”
“A very well thought out service.
Solar Quotes was recommended by a friend and provided all the info relevant to our needs,particularly the recent study on micro inverters from S.A.
Helping us make an informed decision.In the near future.”
“I requested three quotes and got three quotes. That is about as good as it gets. I wasn't impressed by two of the three companies that SQ put my way. I believe SQ simply sells my data to solar installation companies and the 'careful' filtering isn't perhaps very effective. The first of these companies turned up at my property the next morning and pushed aggressively to get me to sign up at the end of his visit, despite my discomfort over the fact that we disagreed strongly about the best PV layout for the roof. I said I wanted to get the other quotes before making a decision and he became angry, complained that he had driven an hour from Port Kembla specially to see me, and criticised SolarQuotes and the other companies I was waiting to hear from in order to undermine my confidence in the process. He persisted in pushing me to sign up for days afterwards. The second company to make contact was a phoneix company. They did not come to my property (as they are Sydney based) but used my plans and Google maps to estimate the PV layout and cost, but it did not include a battery quote which I had requested.The quote was very low, but non-commital. The third company came a few days later with a quote for a layout that I had already drawn shadow diagrams for so knew the layout would work with max output and min panels. He was pleasant, incredibly well-informed and helpful, but very expensive. It turned out that the quotes from the two companies that did site visits were almost 3 times more expsensive than the one who didn't come and see the site, but if they can't be bothered to come and look when there's money in it for them, do I think they would come out to fix a problem they won't get paid for later?). In light of the dissatifaction I felt from the process I approached a local installer who I know of through local builders. He came to site, discussed everything thoroughly. His quote was similar to the cheapest, but he is well known for his post installation customer care, and the components he uses are every bit as good as (and as warrantied) as the expensive guys, so it seems SQ wasn't able to add anything to the solution. Not sure I would recommend the set up to anyone looking for solar quotes.”
Hi Lucy,
This was a very disappointing one to read about our clients - I would very much like to look into and follow up on which company pressured you and which company was a 'phoenix'. Please if you could email me at ned@solarquotes.com.au about your experience I would very much appreciate it. We do vet every installer through an extensive process before they become a part of the SolarQuotes network but unfortunately it is sounding like you have been in an unlucky situation where our recommendations have dropped the ball and I would like to ensure it does not happen in the future. Please let me know -
Ned.
“Have received great information and quotes through the installers you have recommended. Thanks. Still waiting on one more quote but that was my choice to make a convenient time.”
“For me, SolarQuotes provided an extensive and consolidated source of information, which was easy to follow. I also used the product and customer reviews to inform my decision. I also believe I have bought a great solar system and at a great price. Thanks again!”
“Awesome platform and I have been linked up with excellent installers. Managed to organize the solar system install successfully. There are ton of need to know knowledge in your website that is very informative and helping me greatly to decide along the way. Thank you.”
“We highly endorse the SolarQuotes website for individuals seeking to delve into the advantages of solar energy. With its user-friendly interface, vast network of skilled installers, rich educational resources, and unwavering commitment to transparency, SolarQuotes epitomise excellence in the solar industry.”
“Quotes received were at exhorbitant prices. At least double of what others are quoting. Perhaps the companies referred by Solarquotes only quotes the RollsRoyce versions of solar panels to their customers. Decided to go with another supplier.”
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your review. I have tried to reach out to discuss - left a voicemail - please either call me back or email jonathon@solarquotes.com.au

“Solar quotes provided me with plenty of information to help me figure out what to put on my roof. The quoting process was easy and I was contacted by the businesses they recommended within 12 hours. Would definitely recommend it to my friends and family looking for solar.”
“We were very happy with the initial follow up from Solar Quotes
We went with one of the three suppliers (instead of the quotes we had already received independently) from you guys - Home & Energy.
one of the others - SAE - had woeful follow up (either slow or not at all) so we gave up - the third (cant remember their name) rang a week or so later and said that they had moved offices and did we still want a quote - we didnt!
Installation is this Wednesday so overall we are happy that we got a good quote with excellent follow up”
Hi Keith,
It was a pleasure speaking to you over the phone and thank you for your kind words about SolarQuotes - it was a shame the matched installers could not meet the requirements for your system repair/replacement. I will speak to them about the details of your quote request that they missed. I was glad to hear the problem has now been sorted on your end. Any questions or additional feedback, feel free to give me a call back on 0413302224 : )
Ned.
