Made the jump and brought a complete system
Apex Solar was not the cheapest but we’re on time and explained all the options and when it came to installing the battery and solar system they were on time and very polite. The system was installed as quoted and has been providing solar power at the moment. Looking forward to turning on the battery on 1st July so we can get the government rebate’s, then we will be able to really see the investment that we have made.This was a investment in our future, not just for the ease of having our own power supplies but a investment in the environment and hopefully a better world for our next generation
Thanks Apex solar and team.

Excellent system, competitive price, well installed, couldn't have hoped for better !
Apex recommended and gave a very competitive quote for a Sungrow inverter system and battery with enough Jinko panels to ensure we'll never buy electrical power again. They installed it when they said they would, did a good job and were always pleasant and easy to deal with. We're delighted with the system and getting it up and running was not just painless, it was real fun. A month on and we are still checking the app two or three times a day to see what's happening. Inevitably, the battery is fully charged by mid morning and we are contributing our miserable limit of 3kwh into the grid. Even on the dullest day we easily charged the battery ensuring power for the night. It's the right system for us and we're very grateful to Apex for suggesting it and putting it in.Panel rating: 5/5

Great Job
Installation was good. Customer service is good. Apart from a few teething issues, I'm happy with the system. It's Fronius Primo Gen 24 inverter with 5 X BYD HVM batteries. (13.8kw). It's neat and tidy and fits in the available space without any issues.Battery rating: 4/5

Great experience with Apex
Apex was quick to get me a ballpark quote over the phone and then after a site inspection we locked in details.Installation day was a breeze. They were able to get started even though I wasn't able to be at home.
Customer service was great throughout the whole process. They got me set up with my online portal

Average installation and follow-up
Installation was timely. Quoting was average as got 3 quotes 2 much the same and 1 over and above the average. They helped organise grid connections, but the fromulius inverter is by passing battery and leaking out of battery to grid, therefore less use of battery for use.Inquiries about leakages the answer was not to worry about it. I there for would not recommend.

Just in time for summer
The whole process from quotes to installation went very smoothly.We already had a smart meter and the installer organised grid connection.
Started supplying to the grid the next day.
Daily consumption from the grid significantly reduced.
10 months later we asked Richard: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes, works perfectly.22 June 2024

Job Done! And the Sun Shines In
Apex Solar provided good service from the quick and thorough / consultative site appraisal, quoting (with discussion of options), then reasonable lead0time to 2 days of installation on a difficult roof-site. We're over the moon (and sun) about being virtually 100% self-sufficient, and now waiting for the energy supplier to upgrade metering and billing (which Apex also mediated).10 months later we asked Peter: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes - apart from the difficulty with the Fronius App.
19 June 2024
Success!
I installed an 8.8 kW system with most Jinco panels facing NE, a Gen 4 Fronius inverter and a 4 module BYD battery. Apex Solar did the job, provided exactly what I wanted, suggested some refinements and installers were efficient and courteous on the day. I incorporated an electric HWS (new), replacing the existing instantaneous gas unit. The HWS heats through the day when the system is generating excess power that would otherwise be exported. My system is working just fine and incorporates outage protection.I highly recommend Tim at Apex Solar as a knowledgeable and very competent solar designer and installer.

So far so good
Apex have been excellent to deal with.Tim seems to know his product and theres no Bs sales pitch.I would have given a 5 star for install however there was a slight glitch with the hot water upgrade which resulted in plenty of water flowing over my floors.Overall very happy with the whole process.Time will be the judge whether the system and value for money warrants the 5 stars i have given10 months later we asked Bruce: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes and No.It should never be possible to export and import from the grid at the same timeOverall i am happy with the set up but if you were to do a cost/saving benefit you can buy a lot of electricity for the outlay of the set up.

A well satisfied APEX customer: a smooth transition to energy independence
I received 3 quotations in response to my solicitations, 2 of which were competitive in terms of price, product quality etc. I then followed up with an site meeting, a discussion regarding the timing of the work, specifications, rooftop layout, positioning of inverter & so forthTo be honest we could have proceeded with either firms. The decision to run with Apex was down to the 60/40 split of the 22 panels to maximise the solar harvesting Sun up/down, the relocation of the new smart inverter from a gyprock wall in the garage to a brick wall (for added safety) and the polite/courteous manner of the sales person initially and, subsequently, the Apex team who were on site for 2 days. Day 1 was primarily spent removing the then existing system and preparing the additional cabling due to the resiting of the inverter. Unlike the other businesses the Apex electrician insisted on the new cabling being hidden within the ceiling voids rather than being visible. A nice gesture!
Initially I reacted adversely to the battery sited on the garage floor rather than the more common siting hung on the wall near the inverter (visions of the Tesla power wall). Once the electrician pointed out the benefits of being able to add more storage on the stacked module I realised the obvious benefit. As an aside it is silent and operates without emitting heat. Neighbours' power walls emit a hum or buzz & are fitted to external masonry walls. With houses now being erected almost gutter to gutter this is an important consideration for some folk.
In summary, the answer to all of your questions is YES, noting that this system has been operational for just 14 days. Allow for around 42 days from the time you pay the 10% deposit to installation. Our battery was activated at 4:10 PM on the Monday and at 8:30 AM the next day the battery was fully charged. We were impressed by Apex.

Very happy with information about what our solution should be. Fixed our issue with a solar hot water system that was south facing with a switch to use solar from our solar system.
Installation team tidy and respectful. Process for a new meter to be installed progressed on our behalf.10 months later we asked Brad: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes, we are getting monthly electricity bills of between $23 to $45 per month. This includes hot water heating.Very happy with the outcome.

They know there stuff
Tim from Apex Solar called me the next morning after I requested the three quotes, super fast.Install done clean, ran cables through my existing conduit and installed new lower wattage element in my hot water system with timer, this is just done as part of the service, I didn’t even know about this extra power saving feature.
Apex arranged the grid connection with the power company on our behalf which will happen next Tuesday.
10 months later we asked Brad: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes, I was planning on cutting my power bills in half, and have actually achieved about 60% reduction28 March 2024
Split personality
Excellent sales experience, good management of installation appointment, varied installation experience, poor trouble shooting and post installation service. Installation location selection was excellent and took advantage of existing cable ducts (rather than requiring additional trenching), however, the team left without fully testing the system and without providing a walk through. After the installation was complete, the behaviour of the system (data on the app) was not as expected and on two separate occasions, physical corrections to the installations were made. While the system was not performing satisfactorily, Apex asserted that the system was "operating perfectly" and pressed for payment. Across the company, most staff were excellent, while interactions with the owner and one of the installers were below expectations.Inverter rating: 5/5

Almost Perfect
Tim Baker from Apex Solar provided multiple quotes without complaint and suggested various set ups. I have lots of shade from my gum trees and I knew this would be an issue.Tim suggested using Enphase microinverters (as opposed to a competing quote's optimises) and I liked the idea of parallel panel connection.
The sales/quoting process was simple and painless. All routine communications with Apex are online and simple to use. Kailah at Apex's office was a pleasure to deal with on non routine matters and organised the grid connection.
Everything want smoothly on installation day. The team arrived on time, completed the work efficiently and cleaned up and removed all packaging etc. All staff were friendly and polite.
The only problem was the connecting the system's online monitoring. It appears that my wifi was not strong enough at the system monitoring point. If this had been checked by Apex prior to system installation I could have made the necessary wifi changes prior to installation rather than after.
The system was commissioned about a month later after the meter had been changed. Apex provided a User Manual with all system details and information on future maintenance

Great Solar and Battery setup.
Apex installed another 6kw Seraphim solar panels and Sungrow 9.6kWh lithium battery. Working with Daniel was a pleasure. He was very knowledgeable and of my requirements.Installation went well. Josh and the team were polite and tidy at all times.
Lailah organised and arranged the grid connection and was also very good to work with.
It was also good working with Tim.

Great hybrid system from truly good people to deal with.
Quoting process was great, very informative and advisory.Still underway but very pleased with the professionalism of the management and team.
All necessary comms with the energy supplier completed by Apex. but we will be virtually off-grid with an 8.3kw/h solar array, 6kw inverter and 16.5kw/h BYD battery pack, essential light and power back-up for residence.
10 months later we asked Kevin: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Absolutely, it provides energy for the house and the EV and as such has reduced our energy costs to near nil (excl. supply charge).04 May 2023

Knowledgable team, problematic execution
I spent a bit of time researching the ideal system for my needs and Tim from Apex was happy to accomodate. He's very knowledgable and experienced and provided me some great recommendations. I selected them under the assumption Tim would be there on the day of install. The day arrived and he was unable to attend. The roofers and electricians were apparently unaware of everything Tim an I had discussed. I was questioned why I'd want a network cable ran from the inverter and told they only had a bulky meter box to install. I briefly ran the roofers through the panel placement and selected a great spot for the inverter and battery install with the help of the electricians.The panel install by the roofers was completed in half a day, the roofers left without saying goodbye or offering an inspection of the work. I was disappointed to see the panel placement wasn't optimised for for the path of the sun. Some sort of sealant was also spilled on the roof without my knowledge. Zip ties were still being found in my yard months after the install.
The electricians spent the entire day doing the inverter, battery and wiring installation. It was getting close to 5pm and the electricians informed me that there was a black out (what are the odds) and would be unable to finish commissioning the inverter. They told me that someone else, maybe not them, would be back sometime to finish it off. I asked if power would be restored to the house when the black out ends, I was assured yes it would. Hours went by and I noticed neighbours lights turning on as it got dark. I checked the meter box at the front of the property and grid power was restored, but not to the house Turns out they forgot to switch the main meter back on after leaving...
The next day was spent on the phone to Tim as he apologised and walked me through the commissioning which, thankfully, I was able to do myself. The system was up and running... sort of. I soon discovered the inverter throwing "over voltage" errors which would cause the system to shut down for up to an hour at a time. Turns out the voltage coming back from the grid was over the "safe" limits and would have to be fixed by the wholesaler. Tim's team lodged a fault and it was fixed up a couple of months later. I believe this should have been checked before the install.
The next issue came upon inspecting the wiring that was done under the house. Bare wires were bundled together that drooped and cut corners. Insulation was ripped out and left on the ground. It looked very unprofessional. Tim did return with the electrician who did it initially and instructed him to fix it up while he tested the previously mentioned over voltage issue. Unfortunately it still wasn't good enough. I contacted Apex again and requested it be done with conduit. I paid extra for the required materials.
Months went by, the grid voltage issue now fixed I continued to experience more voltage issues, where the system would shut down for up to an hour at a time. I did a lot of back and forth with Apex and then directly with Fronius. In the end I was able to determine the voltage was too high on one of the strings and Fronius informed me that the 12x REC 440W panels had been configured incorrectly, voiding the warranty of the inverter. I let Apex know and they promptly came out and fixed it. Since then the system has been solid. Unfortunately this took 1 year to fully resolve.
As it stands, I have a solid system I am happy with. The panel placement on the West-facing roof is still not ideal, however. The meter box is installed in a room and makes a constant HUMMMM which is apparently normal (??).
I'd recommend Apex but only if you get everything in writing beforehand: Panel placement, meter box type and size, double check the configuration, agree on wiring and inverter placement. Check grid voltage well before the install date. Insist Tim is there on the install date. Avoid a year of headaches like me.

Original Review on 10-11-2021:
Overall, satisfied with the process.
Somewhat disappointed that the initial 10.14kw system (26 x panels) quote accepted, could not be configured to fit roof on day of install. Apparently, due to the fact that the supplied inverter could not be configured for 3 strings i.e. a bank of 10,10 & 6.Whilst waiting for install to commence, I was informed on price rise off additional $556.28, owing to supplier cost being past on. Under current circumstances & with my interactions with Tim, I thought it reasonable.
Ultimately, I have a 8.58kw system (22 x panels) for $ 287.64 less than the original 10.14kw system.
Installation went well, all involved polite & punctual.
Customer service was great.
I did provide that I was prepared to update inverter if possible to accommodate 3 strings, however this was deemed not viable or available, unfortunately.
A further note, Tim did state at initial site visit, that fitting 26 panels to roof would be a challenge.
8 months later we asked Ken: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Overall happy with system.25 June 2022
Significantly better pricing for a 6.6kw system than a competitor
Another company tried to sell me a 13000 dollar system and take me for a ride. Apex gave me a no-nonsense quote and booked in my installation within the week for half the competitors quote.08 June 2022

Fronius and REC
Fronius inverter with Rec panels. An excellent combo. System works really good. A really good price. The system was up and running on the day of install. The guys were knowledgeable and friendly.Apex sent through paperwork to energy provider, so there were no issues with them.

The quote process
All 3 companies responded in a timely manner to the initial enquiry. The on-site quote that we accepted was prompt, polite, professional and clearly targeted to our needs. It was also the cheaper of the 2 companies who submitted quotes. I do know what happened to the third company after they didn’t show up when they said they would but that didn’t inspire confidence. Our panels haven’t been installed as yet.19 January 2022

A good experience.
The sales person was the type that calls a spade a spade. No fancy words to minimise my concerns. Good options to cater for the heat pump hot water system. Installers were friendly, quick and answered my questions. They went to some effort to get a good looking array on the roof. No extra charge to remove the satellite dish. Though, they could have cleaned up a bit better.Supplier Reply:
Hi Terry, thank you for the kind review. We appreciate your feedback!Thanks for letting us know about the clean up. It is important for us to leave each residence exactly how we found it. We have passed this on to the team as a housekeeping reminder.
If you have any questions regarding your new solar system, please don't hesitate to give us a call.
8 months later we asked Terry: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Hi Finn, its hard to say that the system has met my expectations. We are currently renovating the house and have been living elsewhere for the last six months. Thus electricity usage has been minimal, and the service charge is paid from the solar feed-in credit. My current credit is $188 that means the solar system is earning about $32/month. Give me another year to see how it performs.When I moved house I also moved my internet connection meaning the system was showing "off-line". Apex Solar was very quick to inquire if I had a problem which I did not.
One thing I did regret is not getting one of those fancy monitoring systems. My daughter has one for her system and it gives some interesting stats.

Great installer
My friend recommended Apex solar so I contacted them for a quote. The team went out of the way to suit my energy consumption and solar needs at a good price.16 December 2021
Excellent Experience
An all-round excellent experience. Very good to work with, and very straight and honest. Excellent communication with the installers and particularly with the principal. Dealt effectively with the need to replace damaged tiles due to the tiles being unusually fragile, a problem I was aware of.I had attempted to get something going with at least three installers before I became involved with Apex. It was clearly the best organization to deal with and I thoroughly recommend them.

Very good experience and from a local supplier
Tim from Apex Solar gave me a competitive quote, gave me a suitable timeline and delivered on that time line. He listened to my needs and gave me three different systems to choose from. Tim liaised with my electricity supplier and arranged for the grid connection and for a smart meter to be installed. The installers did a good job and the entire installation was finished in one day. I would recommend him without hesitationInverter rating: 1/5

Great service and good value.
My main solar motivations were ecological, so I had decided to go with the best grade panels fitted with microinverters so as to hopefully acheive the maximum system longevity.Apex offered me the best quote for my design parameters and I signed off on a 6.6kW system.
Tim was excellent to deal with. He answered all my technical question, and when his preliminary checks determined that my export limit was only 2.8 kW he was happy to renegotiate a quote for a slightly smaller system of 5.3kW.
He then humoured me me while I rather indulgently fussed over what panel orientation would best suit my roof aesthetics.
Installation day went without a hitch, and I am loving the level of constant monitoring available to me with my Enphase microinverters.
Kailah was lovely to deal with for the associated correspondence too.
Couldn't be happier.

What a delight!
We are located on NSW mid-north coast - there are installers around, but very few are registered with Solar Quotes. In fact, there was only one local installer based between Taree and Port Macquarie: Apex Solar. The whole process of design through to installation has been a breeze: Tim and Gemma and their team have been so easy to deal with, so helpful, and the performance of their solution for our south-facing hill which is shaded by trees has exceeded expectations. From the start, Tim was able to design a system which met our requirements - we are grid-connected but subject to intermittent black-outs, and wanted to avoid products that have been flagged as manufactured with slave labour (sadly, products from some countries are affected). Tim rose to the challenges and six weeks after midwinter, we have a system which is meeting household requirements with minimal purchase from the grid. Eight weeks after midwinter, we are re-charging batteries fully and exporting to the grid - not that export makes any money, but there are feel-good benefits! Overall, we experienced none of the pitfalls of shoddy manufacture, design or installation which were raised recently by ABC news coverage. So the message is, don't hesitate to install panels and batteries if you can rely upon a quality installer like Apex. Hope that the underlying enthusiasm doesn't make me sound like I've been taken hostage by a cult!Panel rating: 5/5

Solar Panel Installation
Apex Solar came to my property and looked at the roof before quoting. Assessed the position of the existing solar hot water system and overshadowing from a 2 story neighbouring property on the north roof. It was decided to place panels on N E and W sections of the roof. We discussed what I expected from the system and decided on the appropriate standard of the panels and the inverter. The system was installed in a timely manner and the site left neat and clean.Follow up and after sales has been personal and professional. They took care of all the necessary paper work and installations.
Two out of three of the people your site quoted also came to the house and assessed the roof. The systems they quoted on were entry level Chinese systems for about the same price. Apex Solar came recommened by a person who has used their services for their original solar and subsequent up grades. They have been happy recommend to neighbours who in turn have recommend them to others.
8 months later we asked Jo: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes! in the black for 2 quarters and a low bill that included cold overcast and wet weather and the use of heating in the latest quarter.26 April 2021

Highly recommend, fantastic installer
Tim was more than happy to answer all of our questions honestly and with very sound product knowledge. We received three quotes on three different systems and Tim guided us to the system that most suited our needs, we received the quotes the same days as his onsite inspection. Tim's team were all very professional, cleaned up after themselves and explained the workings of the inverter etc.Tim organised everything with the electricity company with the instal of the solar smart meter through to applying for extra kw feed back to the grid.
Every aspect of the system and the inverter app was explained by Tim at a post instal visit.
We would highly recommend Tim from Apex solar to anyone for all their solar needs.

Very fair and amenable salesman for Smart House Solar (Max Marrison) and high quality installation by Apex Solar (Sam Doust)
Great experience all round except for having to wait a month for Ergon Energy up here in Townsville to make the effort to change over my usage meter!!Says something about the lack of energy provider competition up here in Townsville with no other choices.

Excellent service and experience
I spoke to about half a dozen companies for the initial quote, and apex solar was by far and away the most thorough and professional. Tim included all items into his original quote, including putting a timer on my hot water system, and adding a limiter. Apex Solar was the only company to include this item (limiter) which was mandatory for a larger system like mine.The installation was carried out over a day with military precision. The finished rooftop install of 28 panels blended in perfectly with our colour bond roof, resulting in an unobtrusive finish.
Tim completed the commission of the system and was only too happy to answer all my questions.
The entire experience was excellent.

Absolute best customer service
Tim and Gemma were amazing. I was very impressed with Tim's explanation of the system. He discussed the different options and listened to things that I wanted such as consumption monitoring and inclusion of the hot water He gave me 2 options to select from with enough information to make in informed decision.They were exceptionally well organised and managed the installation very quickly around the weather and before the rebate decreased. Gemma gave me advice on providers as well when I had a last minute complication as I'd only just bought my property. Tim also helped out a couple of months after installation when I had a hotwater system and coordinated information for them.
I will turn to them for all future needs connected to my solar panels and would highly recommend them for this area.
As a single mum I contacted 3 companies. 1 got back to me with a 'standard' quote a month later after I'd already installed with Tim. The other was incredibly chauvinistic and arrogant.

His quote came through 2 days later, and we spoke about my different options.He and his wife Gemma were in contact with us regularly to line up the installation, and everything went to plan.
The customer service provided throughout the process was first class.

Excellent Solar Install by Apex Solar
Tim and the team from Apex Solar installed my solar without any issues at all. Great install with the team leaving my house clean and tidy. The day following the install Tim arrived and explained how it all worked and had me setup ready to go once the new meter was fitted.Couldn’t be happier and thanks to Tim from Apex Solar explaining everything about solar to me.
Have and will be recommending Apex Solar.
