Exceptional Service
Accord was great, they were quick to reply and very happy to make a site visit and accommodate the tight timeline we needed for our build. They installed the pre wire where and when they said they would. Next week its the panel install10 months later we asked Jennifer: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes I’m really happy with its performance to date. Expecting even better in summer24 August 2022
Best system and quick install
Quick install like the app use and ability to track real live data22 May 2022
Great price and friendly local service.
The quoting service was friendly, quick and easy, with lots of good advice and suggestions. It wasn't a problem when I made a few late changes. Perfect, I couldn't ask for more. The installation was quick and looks great; Mark and crew clearly care about the small details. They also reconfigured my meter box and added a Tesla wall charger for a very reasonable price. That was convenient. To finish up, they installed a monitoring app on my phone and showed me how to use it. I highly recommend this crew.Panel rating: 5/5

Quality Installation
I went with Accord because I was dealing with installers as opposed to sales reps. I felt more comfortable with them. A date was set and they they arrived promptly and did a good job. This was a replacement system. The old system was removed a couple of days earlier so there was a clear run installing the new system. I had a Solar Analytics monitoring system installed but this was not familiar to the installers. Consequently it did not work correctly with the new installation. There was also a problem initially with the set up of the smart meter on the Sungrow inverter. However both these issues were resolved quickly.18 February 2022

Nothing went wrong
I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of talking to each of the Solar Quotes reference / suppliers. Just hearing what each of them had to say really put me in the picture about solar systems, and although I am by no means an expert, I did learn a lot and was thankful to have received all of the Solar Quotes inside information beforehand.Each of the Solar Quotes referrals could have been chosen, so it kind of came down to my gut feel and who I most seemed to feel the more comfortable with.
I chose Ahlec Electrical and the installation went without any hassle or inconvenience. They turned up on the day intially provided and just went about their work without any problems. They were tidy, informative and polite.
The Office Administrator sent through all the details I needed about the system and receipts etc. She also organised all contacts required with the Authorities and my energy supplier, so I didn't need to do a thing. I get the new Smart Meter connected next week and look forward to saving some money on the electricity bill.......it feels great to now have this system.
8 months later we asked Robert: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes...since installation, I have had 3 Quarterly power bills and I have saved around $600......this is what I was expecting to save, but it is still early days. We are very pleased we installed Solar.11 January 2022
Highly recommend Accord Electrical
Accord were prompt with there quote, very thorough with keeping us up to date and informative in every aspect of the process. The installation was was quick and the end result has been without any issues . I would be happy to recommend this company to anyone thinking of installation of Solar or any other electrical needs.Panel rating: 5/5

The Accord team are top shelf
The whole process was really simple, the information from Bruce in sales was invaluable and the install and admin teams were amazing to deal with. Very happy with my new system.14 November 2021
Fantastic prompt service, very professional.
This system was an upgrade for me as my old 1.5kw inverter died after 10 years. Sales/ quoting process was really easy and professional, all my questions were answered. Installation was seamless and again very professional. Customer service was and is fantastic. They were able to give advise on the best electricity supplier deals on offer. I phoned my current provider {AGL} and was able to negotiate a very competitive deal rather than switch to another provider. I am actually looking forward to receiving my next power bill to see how effective the new system is!09 November 2021
Good quality system.
I looked into the whole solar system and was happy with my 3 quotes. Accord Electrical had a good idea of what I needed and explained what they could provide. As what I needed was between the 5.5 & 8 system I went for the larger system and was requoted by the 3 companies. A cheaper quote had a inverter that was not on your preferred list so I did not accept it.Accord Electrical turned up on the day and installed the whole system that day.I had good contact with the company who did all the paper work and sent me copies of all the correspondence and were very helpful.The energex company has installed a new metre and all seems fine.Inverter rating: 5/5

Happy Customer
I'm very happy with my decision to go with Accord Electrical. I did a lot of research and got a lot of quotes. Accord were not the most expensive, nor were they the cheapest, but they did have the best reputation. Their sales person had the most knowledge of anyone I spoke to, and was the most genuine.11 May 2021

Job well done
Great organisation to deal with, very professional and no fuss installation. Respectful and friendly employees with the install team. Attention to detail would be the way they go about doing business. So would recommend them to anyone wanting a PV system07 April 2021

? error in panel supply
All dealings with Accord electrical were prompt and courteous. Their quoted price was $450.00 cheaper than the next of your recommended suppliers for identical panels and inverter and was selected on that basis. On the arranged installation day, the installers arrived with 18 Phono brand panels instead of the quoted Longi panels. When I queried this the supervising installer stated that they must have grabbed the wrong panels from their storeroom.I may be cynical, but,I think that this may also be an unfair way of undercutting their competitors. It also would have left me with a lower rated panel product.
The installers immediately phoned their office and arranged for the sunshine coast Longi depot to deliver the quoted panels. These arrived within an hour and the installation went ahead and was completed that day. The installers were as efficient , careful and polite as they could have been, and explained in detail the way the system worked and the installation of the mobile app. Full details on grid connection and replacement power meter were sent via email

Expert and knowledgeable support and advice
The advice provided by Bruce, who clearly knows his solar systems, was the deciding factor when it came to choosing Accord. The men who came to provide the installation were pleasant and professional. Very happy to have my panels and inverter, operational before Christmas.31 December 2020
Immediate attention and installation
Each and every contact was informative and courteous and knowledgeable.We made our decisions on a practical system for our needs, price was competitive and quality was paramount.
Looking forward to follow up from company to see if system is working to its capacity.

Good, reliable company
Accord Electrical installed our new solar system and it's working like a dream!We had a couple of site issues that was limiting the size of the system that we wanted but Bruce was able to make a few changes and get us very close to what we were looking for. Pricing was always a consideration and Accord was very close from the start. They were not the cheapest quote but nor were they the most expensive.
The installers were all nice to deal with, and they arrived on time, on the day that they were booked. I'm impressed with the work that they did and the neighbours have also commented how good the array looks.
Accord took care of everything from start to finish. All we have to do now is haggle with the power companies for the best deal on the feed in tariff etc. Here too, Bruce monitors the latest deals in this part of the world and has a recommendation which we will consider.
All in all, Accord have been very easy to deal with and kept us informed as the project progressed. We are very happy with Accord and would recommend them to others.

Installation wizards!
We received our quote during the pandemic so they were unable to visit our house before installation. When they arrived it was quickly realised ours was a much bigger job than expected! But with no fuss and a very honest assessment they came in and installed our system better than we had hoped. And did not change the quote despite the extra work.The crew were clean, and the final result was that you couldn't even tell we've had it installed as they were able to hide all the cabling etc.
Since then, we had one minor hiccup with an external conduit cover due to a thunderstorm (aesthetics really) and they were straight over to repair it after.
We have been so happy with their work that we have recommended them to all our neighbours who are equally satisfied.

Accord Electrical (Sunshine Coast)
Bruce and the Accord Electrical team were easy to talk to, assertive in their communications and always available to chat to answer any questions.We scheduled a date and time for the install and the team turned up on time, provided a professional and friendly service, and tidied up after themselves.
Everything was explained in detail, including that our energy provider would be touch to organise the install of a smart meter box.
We were very happy with the entire process.

Solar edge system
We recently used Accord electrical to install our solar edge 10w system.Bruce was very friendly, knowledgeable and easy to deal with.
From the beginning everything was a breeze and we were communicated with during the whole process.
The electricians were very respectful and the unit was installed within a timely manner.
We are extremely happy with our chosen system for our household and seeing savings on our bills already. Thankyou.

A very good solar service
They were very organized following up and informing me as to when everything was to proceed. Came out and double checked everything and explained the whole installation process. Then arrived promptly and installed in the rain. More than happy with the whole process to date. Now hopefully the hardware can do its job as well.06 October 2020

Took the time to ‘phone.
Installation, connection and metre change over were seamless. Installers were professional and polite.08 June 2020
Fantastic service
The sales/quoting process was informative and Bruce was more than happy to take the time to answer all my questions. The installation process wasn't as straightforward as planned (given Covid we didn't have an initial house visit) but Brett came and talked me through the options and we were over the moon with the final result. The installation team were professional, very polite and tidied up at the end of the day. They also communciated when the power was being turned off which was appreciated. We would definitely recommend Accord Electrical (and have already done so) to anyone on the Sunshine Coast.21 May 2020

Great customer service
Great customer service from the start to installation. Prompt personalised quote and adjusted quote when requested. Installation was quick and easy.8 months later we asked Naomi: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
After 1 year the system is still performing beautifully! We are producing more than we use so can sell back to the grid and make a profit each month. It’s been well worth the initial outlay and goes some way to helping the environment with clean energy.30 March 2020
All good
Helpful service. Little damage made on ceiling on installation, but professional service after to get everything fixedWell done

Quotes were well priced, installation was as promised on day and completed in the said time, customer service was very efficient12 December 2019
All round good experience
Bruce was a great sales person to deal with, very knowledgeable and easy to communicate with and was able and willing to answer all those 'silly' questions you have (as a new client). Zac the installer supervisor was friendly and very professional. He and his team arrived on time and respected my home while they were there. Kept me informed during the day as to what was happening and why things were being done the way they were. I was very happy to have Zac in charge of doing the work on my home and felt comfortable that the right things would get done. Naomi the office / accounts contact is very a very pleasant lady and very easy to communicate with - responds to emails very quickly. I haven't met the owner of the company as yet, although arrangements are being made for him to meet with me to set up the Fronius monitoring app. so I'm pleased to see they are being pro-active in this regard.10 December 2019
