Australia’s top solar installers have been recognised at the inaugural SolarQuotes Awards event at the Showtime Events Centre in Melbourne on Tuesday.

Who Is Australia’s Best Solar Installer?

RESINC Solar was crowned the best solar installer in the country, securing the SolarQuotes Customer Choice Award for 2025.

The company finished first out of thousands of installers, based on a weighted average of customer verdicts on the SolarQuotes reviews platform.

RESINC boasts an unrivalled five star average rating from 1966 reviews on their SolarQuotes review page.

Based in Wyong but working across NSW, Queensland and Victoria, RESINC has managed to maintain its reputation for quality as it expands across the country, with plans to move into WA and the ACT.

How RESINC Acheives Both Quality & Quantity

RESINC founder Leigh Storr speaks after winning the SolarQuotes Customer Choice Award.

As RESINC founder Leigh Storr stepped up to accept the award, a member of the crowd shouted “what’s your secret?”, to which Storr said he didn’t think “there is any real secret other than turning up for customers after the installation”.

“We look at solar as a lifelong partnership with a customer’s system to maximise their results year after year… I think continually re engaging with your customers even when you’ve got nothing to benefit from that, other than being of service to your customer – that’s your future business,” Storr said.

It is a clear theme across RESINC’s reviews, with customers repeatedly highlighting the after-service care.

“Blown away by the service. The whole thing has been a really easy process, whenever we have a question they have the answer. We love that they monitor the system for us, there was a fault on our system that we didn’t even know about and they reached out to fix it,” wrote Jillian in one review, after getting a 13kW Longi solar panel array installed by RESINC.

SolarQuotes General Manager Trevor Glen said RESINC stood out for “amazing consistency with a process that is second to none”.

RESINC had secured a nomination for the national prize after being recognised as the best-rated installer in NSW. Other state and territory winners nominated for the national award included:

• Reef Solar & Electrical, the top installer in Queensland;
• Goliath Solar & Electrical, the top installer in SA;
• Brightworks Solar, the top installer in Victoria;
• Regen Power, the top installer in WA;
• Stag Electrical, Solar & Refrigeration, the top installer in the ACT;
• Expert Electrical Tasmania, the top installer in Tasmania;
• Eco Tech Electrical, the top installer in the NT.

The award was open to all installers in Australia, including those who are not part of the SolarQuotes network.

Best On Ground & The MVP

RESINC wasn’t the only winner at the awards event, with multiple other categories up for grabs. The Best On Ground Award – the pick of the nation’s installers chosen by Rob Moffa, who oversees SolarQuotes’ client operations – went to Melbourne-based Lightning Energy. Rob said: “Luke and his team embody the spirit of teamwork, and provide a professional service and quality service that defines the SolarQuotes network.”

The Origin MVP award meanwhile went to fellow Victorian installer Limitless Energy, with Duncan Permezel – Origin Executive General Manager of Consumer & Property – paying tribute to the company’s “quality installs” and “proactive engagement in pilot programs”.

A Matter Of Trust

The awards night was also used as a springboard to promote the benefits to solar installers of joining the SolarQuotes network, with Origin Electrification General Manager Chris Zondanos spruiking to installers access to exclusive training, marketing toolkits, referral incentives, and products for their customers, including a suite of new EV charging and battery plans, and the existing Solar Partner Plus plan with a limited 12c feed-in tarriff.

The evening kicked off with a conversation between SolarQuotes Founder Finn Peacock and Origin Executive General Manager of Retail Jon Briskin on Finn’s decision to sell SolarQuotes to Origin last year, where the energy transition is headed next, and advice for installers. Finn declared that ultimately, the key thing for solar businesses is maintaining trust with customers.

“When that trust breaks down… it just takes up loads of time, loads of money and just loads of emotional heartache. So the best installers just maintain that trust and do everything they can to build it up and realize what that’s worth,” Finn said.
