Victoria’s Best-Rated Solar Installers: 2025

2025’s best- rated solar installers in VIC based on customer reviews published on SolarQuotes have been determined. Find out who the three winners are here.

The best-rated Victorian installation companies for 2025 were decided following analysis of customer reviews of solar installers listed on the SolarQuotes website. A weighted calculation was used so smaller operators with fewer reviews were on a more equal footing with their larger competitors. Analysis included all installers active in Victoria; not only those who are part of the SolarQuotes referral network.

First Place –  Brightworks Solar

Knoxfield-based Brightworks Solar is a family business that installs solar, battery storage, hot water heat pumps and EV charging solutions across Melbourne’s bayside, southeastern, western and northern suburbs, and the Mornington Peninsula.

Commenting on taking out first place, Brightworks Solar said:

“We are so thrilled to be recognized by SolarQuotes as the best installer in Victoria for the last 12 months.

 

At Brightworks, the customer experience is at the heart of everything we do! As business owners, we are the customer’s first point of contact and that really sets us apart from other companies.

 

We have built an incredible team of talented electricians who work alongside Anthony to deliver exceptional installations and aftercare for the life of our systems.

 

We truly do listen to our customers’ needs and what goals they are trying to achieve with their system, and design accordingly.

 

Site visits are also at the core of our sales model, they help us ensure we are quoting for and delivering exactly what our customers want. At Brightworks, we believe that creating strong personal relationships with our customers is as important as the installation itself!

 

We would like to thank all our customers for choosing Brightworks Solar for their solar and battery installation. In such a competitive industry, we recognize the trust that has been placed in us, and we are so looking forward to maintaining these systems for our customers for many years to come!”

Some of what the many Brightworks Solar Pty Ltd reviews on SolarQuotes have had to say:

“What a pleasure to deal with a professional business. They came highly recommended, and we could not be happier with their high level of genuine service and care. From quote to installation Anthony and Alexandra proactively communicated clearly, in language we understood, every part of the entire process so that there were no surprises. Very happy with our choice of system and indeed Brightworks. Highly recommend them.” – Paul

“Absolutely fantastic experience with Alex, Anthony & the Brightworks team. From the first chat we felt at ease, Anthony went above and beyond to get us the system design that would work best. We are so happy we chose these guys!” – Mia

“I couldn’t be happier with the experience I had with Alex and Anthony at Brightworks Solar. Everything was handled with professionalism, honesty, and care and their entire team was amazing on install day. Anthony took the time to explain my options clearly, and he designed a system that suits my home and needs perfectly.” – Cherry.
