\"Queensland's<\/p>\n

The ratings have been reviewed and the numbers crunched. Discover which companies are SolarQuotes’ best-rated solar installers in Queensland for 2025.<\/p>\n

The winners were selected based on a weighted calculation of customer reviews of installers<\/a> listed on the SolarQuotes website, whether those businesses are part of our installer network or not. Using this approach gives smaller Queensland installation companies with fewer reviews a fair chance against the bigger players.<\/p>\n

First Place –\u00a0 Reef Solar & Electrical<\/h2>\n

Taking out the top spot was Reef Solar & Electrical<\/a>, based in Boyne Island in the Gladstone region. The company supplies and installs grid-connect and off-grid solar power and battery systems, EV chargers and heat pump hot water systems in Gladstone, Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Agnes Water, and everywhere in between.<\/p>\n

Owner Troy Coburn has been involved in the energy industry since 2009. After taking on and re-branding what was previously Daniel Shea Electrical and Solar (DSES) last year, the number and nature of positive reviews from Reef Solar & Electrical clients in such a short time-frame has been quite remarkable.<\/p>\n

\"Example<\/p>\n

Commenting on the win, the firm said:<\/p>\n

“At Reef Solar & Electrical, everything we do comes back to one goal \u2014 putting the customer first. Our sales process is all about education and transparency, making sure people walk away confident they understand exactly what system they\u2019re getting and why.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We don\u2019t subcontract, so every installation is handled by our own local team of skilled tradesmen whose professionalism, friendliness, and quality workmanship consistently leave a lasting impression.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Combined with clear communication and genuine after-sales support, this approach has helped us quickly build trust within our community \u2014 and we believe that\u2019s why Reef Solar & Electrical has been recognised as Queensland\u2019s Best Solar Installer in our very first year of business.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here’s what some of their customers have had to say:<\/p>\n

“Quoting was to the point – factual, accurate and no B\/S. Installation was professional, with quality workmanship and completed as planned. The whole process start to finish has been spot on” \u2014 Alan<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Customer service is exceptional. The team were quick and neat. They were respectful to the neighbours and the after sales contact to check in on us has been refreshing. I would thoroughly recommend these guys to anyone and everyone.” \u2014 Glen<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“We spoke with a number of companies before calling Reef Solar and Electrical. After calling Troy, it was easy to decide who to go with. Troy was incredibly easy to talk with, and offered better service and options, with no pressure or sales pitch. Installation was smooth, the crew arrived on time, communicated throughout the day, and confirmed all details were working before leaving. We\u2019d 100% recommend.” – Chantel<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The firm provides off-grid and grid-connect residential solar power systems, home batteries and EV chargers. Read G-Solar & Electrical reviews<\/a>.<\/p>\n
