Albany Solar Solar Reviews
Local people, quality install
Local friendly and approachable company who did the lot from sales to install and had a good understanding of my power requirements. Quality workmanship and they live not far away should any issues arise Show additional information
We were provided with so much time and information to help make our decision. The service was brilliant and we were so impressed with how quickly they were able to organise and install the system. The installers were very efficient, thorough and friendly.
We’ve got an awesome system pumping out loads of energy! Really happy. Show additional information

Synergy changed the meter very quickly and then there was a cancellation for another customer and our installation was moved forward, so no waiting times.

It's early days yet- because of the odd orientation of our house and the nearby presence of large karri trees we decided to put 8 micro inverter panels on the NW facing roof and 4 on the SE facing roof - less shade from trees from the SE. We'll assess what's working best in 12 months time, and work out which panels work best over a 12 month period- I suspect the SE aspect may actually work better than the NW panels- due to shade on the back of the house. We're a work in progress. The supplier has been terrific- prepared to discuss options and very professional approach.

Howard from Albany Solar really know that he is talking about. He has helped me pick the system that I need and yes it a bigger one but I don’t need to extend next year as I wanted too and will be adding a heat pump in the next 2 years when I need to replace our old solar hot water system.

Albany Solar are Very knowledgeable in all aspects of solar power systems and supply. They were very obliging and easy to work with in scheduling appointment and installation times. They kept in touch and wow....on day of installation the team arrived and got straight into getting the job done. The site was cleaned meticulously. Thoroughly recommend the Albany Solar team.

To avoid interruption to the business the technicians started early (6.00am) to install cables to system.
Staff very friendly and clean and tidy. System performs very well. Show additional information

The service is good and the people are nice. To begin with, nothing can go wrong with these at hand in transacting a business.

I have 2 properties - both had different systems installed just over a week ago.1 is a standard 16 panel (Q cell) system & the other an 8 panel micro inverter / battery ready system. They cost a faction over $7,000 each. Also it is too early to assess there performance.

The service and the people who installed it were great that's why we went with them, but after the installation was done which was on a Friday we got a email on the coming Monday asking for monies.
As being a truck driver i've been away for couple of days and was going to ring them first thing Monday morning, low and behold my phone rang just after 8 o/clock, it was Albany Solar asking where's there monies.
Now don't get me wrong i'll buy local and support the little guy but don't coming knocking on my door asking where's our monies when it hasn't even been 7 days I just had to get time to go to the bank and get it out as I was good for the monies even put down a $500 deposit like they asked. but if I was 2weeks late I could understand but not even 7 days had past and I'm getting emails and phone calls!!!!! If I invest in something its 100% don't come knocking asking where's your bloody monies is!!!!!!
Nothing worse than people harassing me about money after ive spent a couple of grand in their business.

Hi Pieter, thank you for your review and sorry to hear you were disappointed with an element of our service. Our invoices state payment upon installation, we can always work with peoples personal and banking arrangements and often do, for example where internet banking limits are not high enough for customer's to transfer the balance in one go. Part of the reason for calling, is just to check the invoice we send by email has been received, because there have been instances we have awaited for payment, and the customer advises non receipt of the invoice. Sorry our approach on this occasion left you feeling harassed, it was never the intention, thank you for your business and buying local. Show additional information
We wanted to spend our money locally and when I presented other quotes to Albany Solar they were able to better them.
The in-store advice we received gave us a lot of confidence and made us want to use this business for this purchase
The whole process was very smooth and pretty much handled completely by Albany Solar.
The installation team did a very nice job and were finished in just over 4 hours.
The system has been functioning beautifully ever since.
We would thoroughly recommend this business to anyone contemplating a similar purchase.

We've only been connected for 3 weeks with no power account as yet, but everything seems to be going well so far.

Although it cost a bit more than clear tech services we decided to stay local as it anything goes wrong they will fix as quickly as possible. Clean tech. did a thorough job with call backs, were cheaper and if closer than 350Km away would possibly gone with them. so would recommend them to anyone in Perth.

As yet we have not had an energy bill since solar panels were fitted. So perhaps we are doing this survey a bit early.

Very low stress, good understanding on how solar works was given.

There wasn't a great deal of choice in Albany and this company uses what seems to be a better quality inverter and has their own installation technicians.

We went with Albany Solar - a local Installer.
They provided a price competitive with Perth installers at the time.
The team at Albany Solar is friendly, helpful and professional.
The major benefit of staying with the local installer, as I see it, is local personal contact in the event of problems, questions etc.
Overall we are pretty happy with the installation as it is meeting expectations and parameters suggested to us by Albany Solar before we signed up. Show additional information
