About
Ahlec Solar is a family owned business based on the Sunshine coast that has been installing solar PV across Queensland since 2010, and in more recent years solar batteries and EV chargers.
Here's what the firm has to say:
"We do not use sub-contractors, with all of our installations carried out by our own in house electricians. We are licensed electrical contractors, which means that we can and do employ our own teams of installers to carry out the work.
The whole process is carried out in house from a site visit to explain how Solar PV will work for you right through to completion of the solar system installation as well as a post installation follow up service.
We have carried out many thousands of solar PV installations, which is why we really understand it.We supply solar PV systems that are grid connected and we also supply off grid solar systems with batteries for more remote situations."

Excellent from start to finish, recommend. Had 6 quotes, only 3 attended to give quotes, the rest wanted to give over phone quote.18 February 2026
Professional and Courteous
I was given three options for different size systems.While the installation was interrupted by rain, it was completed in a timely manner.
The Ahlec team were professional, courteous and left the work area clean and tidy.

Expectations exceeded.
Ahlec completed the installation of our 16kW battery and an additional 10 x 470W solar panels to augment our existing 6.6kW of solar panels yesterday, 13th February.My wife and myself were very impressed in our dealings with Ahlec.
Both my wife and I come from a corporate background. We both have had considerable experience in dealing with companies, from sole operators to multi-nationals in the telecommunications and telepower space. Some good, and some not so good. From my past life I have considerable knowledge of solar power so I could compare scopes and quotes from a technical perspective.
From the initial sales process and quotes from Austin, the communication flow provided by the company, and the enthusiasm and technical knowledge of the installation team lead by Alex, we were impressed and gratified.

Great service from start to finish
I had a fantastic experience with Ahlec from start to finish. Everything was well organised, communication was clear, and the whole process ran smoothly. The installation team was efficient, effective, and provided great customer service including showing how to use the app. They were friendly, professional, and respectful on site. I was very happy with it all and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable high-quality service.

Just what I wanted!
From the first conversation to final install, the whole experience was excellent. I was very specific about what I wanted and the team delivered exactly as promised. Pricing was very competitive, the workmanship was tidy and professional, and the install crew were great to deal with.They were helpful, responsive, and happy to answer questions even after everything was completed. Highly recommend if you want quality work and a smooth process.

Always professional and communicated well
Ahlec were one of the recommended companies to provide a quote. Their pricing was competitive for all of the options we requested prior to finalizing our system sizes. We changed to 3 phase power supply, so our schedule was based somewhat around the Energex works. Sam & Alex communicated throughout all steps of the works, and were professional/courteous/tidy and happy to discuss/answer any questions we had. Once the install dates were agreed, Ahlec arrived on time and commenced work without delay.We recommend Ahlec to anyone in the area who is considering adding solar/battery.

Great service all round
Everything was professional, friendly and capable.Great communication pre and post installation.
Comprehensive sales/quoting process with customised solution reflecting my specific needs.
Not by some margin the least expensive quotation but 'you get what you pay for'. I checked/verified the products (solar panels, inverter, battery system) and they are the best quality - other quotes were cheaper but check on products/brand quality explained why.
Everything was organised seemlessly - all communications/payments to Energex, support for the fantastic App which allows us to know what is happening in real time and customise to our situation.
Every member of the Ahlec/Obrien team were a pleasure to deal/work with.

Trustworthy and Committed
All contact personnel gave clear, credible advice. Work was carried out efficiently. We were consulted and informed throughout the process.When a 'hitch' arrived in for form of a weather event that took power, phones and internet out for 4 days there was clear evidence that a solution was found in order to commission the system.
The workers were committed to a quality install despite the abnormal situation.
We are extremely happy with the sysyem.

Easy to deal with and, on the day, fast and efficient
The sales and quoting process was painless with visits from representatives to explain options and explain the installation process. Installation occurred on the two days nominated (unfortunately, they arrived four panels short but were back within a week to install the shortfall). Installers were polite, friendly and worked unobtrusively and fast. After a short period with the power turned off, everything was brought online and reconnected with a fully operational system. Email arrived almost immediately to advise how to download the app required to monitor the solar panels, battery and link with grid.

Positive customer experience
Austin was the salesperson from Ahlec I dealt with in April/May 2025 when I began exploring solar battery options. He was prompt in responding, never pushy but always provided options for my consideration. In the end, I decided to go ahead and selected Ahlec as my installer based on my positive dealing with Austin who had always responded promptly and courteously to my various questions.On 10 July my battery installation was carried out by Elliot and Bailey who were also courteous in their responses to many questions during the process. I was impressed by the thoroughness of their workmanship and the many testing procedures that were needed to commission the product.
They left my garage area spotless.
If these employees are representative of the staff quality at Ahlec, the company is indeed fortunate to have such capable staff.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Ahlec for anyone else considering the installation of a solar battery,

Professional and positive overall experience
A couple of months ago Austin, the sales rep from Ahlec visited my townhouse as part of the quoting process. He was very professional, balanced and provided prompt follow up responses.Today Elliott and Bailey installed my 5Kw Sungrow hybrid inverter and a Sungrow 9.6Kw battery.
They were punctual, courteous in answering my many questions, thorough with the installation and left the garage area spotless.
I would have no hesitation recommending Ahlec based on my experience over the past couple of months.

Thanks fellas.

Solar Installation Made Easy!
Ahlec is a very professional company that have made the process of installing a solar system simple. The sales rep came to our property and explained the specifications and performance of a system which would be most suitable for our needs. He gave us an obligation free quote. We found their quote to be competitive with other companies and were satisfied with the quality of the products they suggested.We decided to install 15 Jinko 420 watt panels, a 5kw Sungrow hybrid inverter and a Sungrow 6.4kw lithium battery.
The installation team arrived promptly on the agreed date and worked tirelessly and cheerfully to complete a very neat job. Nothing was too much trouble and even though they detected existing faults in our wiring they were able to offer solutions. Upon completion, we were shown how to read the inverter and shut down the system if ever required.
All applications to council and our energy provider were completed by the company.
The system exceeds our expectations in its output and performance and we have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone thinking of installing solar panels.
We are even thinking of increasing the size of our battery!

Ahlec is a great local business with quality service and competitive pricing - recommended.
Austin was awesome during the quote finalisation process, always happy to answer questions and find out extra info as I narrowed down preferred PV system specs. Alex and the Team did a fantastic install in 2023 - everything went smoothly. They were even happy to do (for an extra charge) a few other related sparky jobs on the day - eg connecting my new Induction cooktop and Heat Pump HWS (as I removed gas at the same time). Overall the PV system continues to perform excellently. We went with 18x 440W Jinko Tiger Neo panels (good salt water IP rating) and a Goodwe hybrid inverter with Catch Control consumption monitoring. Catch has exceeded expectations, as we now have SolarAnalytics bundled free!Panel rating: 5/5

Seamless from quote to install
Right from my initial call to Ahlec, my experience has been good.Customer service was polite, friendly and efficient.
My quote appointment was prompt and informative with four initial quotes given to show the different levels of performance.
Slight changes to quotes were almost instant and made the selection process easy.
The installation team were friendly, efficient and got the equipment installed in very warm conditions without issue.
I was given instruction on how to view the performance of our set up and the team left the site spotless.
Customer service followed up with photos, all warranties, installation details and ensured our energy supplier were given the relevant information for our account.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use Ahlec again in the future

The customer service was excellent with information on using the app, organising the grid connection and instructing us on how to use the charger.

Great installer to deal with
Overall very good experience with Ahlec, easy to deal with, professional, tidy, and they did what they said they would do. Made all the connection arrangements, put in a new circuit board, and helped set up my monitoring.11 months later we asked Peter: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Working very well and I am happy with the output. My power bill is now zero. The only issue I had was with the timer set up for my hot water. I have my storage HWS set up to have power between 1030 and 1630 each day, this allows us to put on the dishwasher or the washing, or both, early when we have sun and the cycle is finished before the HWS comes online. Hovever the installed timer consistently moved forward by 15 minutes every day, which resulted in appliance and HWS uses coinciding and exceeding the solar production. A call to the installer, who replaced the timer at his cost with a more accurate brand, has rectified this.21 July 2024

Slow off the blocks, it took a few follow up calls/emails, but once I got the quote and gave the go ahead things happened quickly. The installation team was great and the quality of their work was excellent. I didn't get the promised follow up after my first power bill however not necessary as haven't had a power bill since the installation, partially due to the government credits..Panel rating: 5/5

Very professional team
Quoting process was quick and professional. Doug was very knowledgeable and answered our questions easily. Installation team was very professional and polite. Provided plenty of notice for the upcoming install and arrived onsite with all gear to fully complete the installation. Sam carried out additional work on our hws on the day without any issues. System was up and running by the time they left site. Great team to work with. Would recommend to anyone.11 months later we asked David: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Mostly. The Emphase app does drop out from time to time but Emphase are usually quick to restore or at least advise they are onto it. I’m pleased with the system itself. Power generated fluctuates between winter and summer as the suns arc changes which was anticipated from my research. But I review the market pricing several times a year to ensure we are maximising our benefits from the systems performance. I changed our retailer initially at install and once during the last 12 months.13 April 2024
A very well organised business
With my Inverter not working but still under warranty, I had to find an Installer who could guide me through the process of acquiring a replacement... I was given by the makers 3 installers in my area but not one would or could assist... I found AHLEC Solar advertised on the Web as a family business... I rang them and was asked to provide details of make , model . Later that day Amy from Administration said I have contacted makers and here is your case number, then next week it was delivered and fitted by their competent Installers, monitoring was set up . Job done . I have no hesitation to recommend AHLEC Solar to anyone...A great job done by all and thank you ... kind regards MalcolmPanel rating: 5/5

Ahlec solar system
A very professional installation of quality components by a skilled and friendly team from start to finish, I would recommend them to anyone.27 March 2024
Very satisfied customers
My wife and I recently had a home solar/battery system installed by Ahlec. The whole process ran smoothly from start to finish. At the initial consultation Austin was very attentive to our needs and clearly explained the various options. We did not feel as if he was trying to sell us the biggest or most expensive system but rather that which suited our needs best. Once we decided to go with Ahlec we were kept informed of the progress at each step by Amy in the office. Despite less than perfect weather on the day of installation, Alex and his team of installers worked cheerfully and industriously to complete the job and Sam subsequently liaised well with our provider to complete the meter installation and configuration and grid connection. The system is now up and running as expected. Based on our experience, we can only praise the whole team and would wholeheartedly recommend Ahlec to anyone considering them for their own installation.11 March 2024
Great customer service and fantastic installation. Highly recommend!
We were recommended to Ahlec by our property manager who has had solar installs done for a few properties on the Sunshine Coast. Ahlec were prompt in quotes, offered great value for money and were amazing with the customer service for the installation. An absolute breeze for us as landlords living away from the property. The frequent updates from Amy, Sam and Andy as well as the honest advice was much appreciated and the 'extra mile' given was fantastic. The install team noticed a few tiles were cracked and replaced them with no issues. The install is clean and tidy with extra thought given to the 'look' of the panel placement and the inverter placement - which was going to be a bit 'harder' but ultimately in the spot we wanted - future proofed for battery install at a later date. Overall highly recommend and thanks to the Ahlec team for a job well done!07 March 2024
Prompt, reliable and friendly installer!
The salesperson was fast to respond, came to see the job location, provided a couple of quotes, he was willing to make changes and provided plenty of advice. He was very knowledgeable and always followed up my enquiries promptly. The installation crew had enough people, they were polite, tidy and punctual. They made sure everything was working before they left and explained what to do next and who to contact if in need. I felt safe to invest with someone like AHLEC Solar & Electrical who demonstrated they could be there when I needed their help.Panel rating: 5/5

Professional Battery Install by AHLEC
Battery Install By AHLEC.From the outset, AHLEC were fantastic to work with from the Quotation phase, through Installation and into a Support Phase, AHLEC staff were freely available to answer all my questions and provide me the details so important with installation of batteries into my home Solar System.
When I first contacted AHLEC (via Solar Quotes recommendation), Austin Eccelston replied within a couple of hours and arranged an onsite inspection just a couple of days later. The quote arrived on my computer a couple of hours later and this later proved to be within $100 (0.769%) of the next closest quote.
AHLEC are obviously highly sort after as battery instalations were booked up to 5 weeks in advance.
On the nominated day Elliot & Joe arrived 20 minutes early and had the job complete within the promolgated time frame. The quality of install and finnished product were at the top end of my expectations as these two guys put customer service first and foremost, a true credit to their professionalism and company ethics. All packaging and rubbish was cleared and retreived by the team.
Well done guys!
I selected AHLEC because my questions were always met with straight and informative answers.
The defining moment was that AHLEC (Austin) provided a positive response to my request for a scope of works, defining what was included, extra's required and adjustments that needed to be made to the previously existing installation.
Five Stars Guys!
I highly recommend AHLEC for Solar & Battery Installations
