Professional and responsive installer
Very positive experience with CDC Solar from the quoting process all the way through to the installation. I was kept informed at all times and had very useful discussions about system size and which components to install before agreeing on the final quote.I eventually went with 44 Jinko Solar Tiger Neo 510W panels (22.44kw) and SigEnergy 20kw inverter with 5x 8kwh battery packs (40.3kwh). The guys arrived on time and the installation went very smoothly. The system is working very well and I have switched over to Amber VPP.
Overall a seamless and stress free process and I would fully recommend CDC solar.
10 months later we asked Geoff: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"

Great service and advice
Great service and advice.This company knows it stuff.
After contacting them for a quote to add a battery, they came out and did an on-site inspection of our existing solar system and expected loads.
They sized a battery to suit our loads, and organised an install date.
Crew came in and had it done in no time with no problems or hassles, including re jigging some panels.
I was impressed with the attention to detail and their neat work.
Battery rating: 5/5

Very pleased to have gone with CDC Solar and Electrical
I have been impressed with all elements of my dealings with CDC Solar and Electrical. Their Sales Person was friendly, informative and thorough in his explanation of the whole solar process. He readily answered all questions and ensured that I understood everything. He was prompt in delivering my quote and the office staff were equally prompt in answering any follow-up queries that I had. As part of the process they dealt with the energy provider and completed all necessary paperwork.The installation itself was fine. The installation crew turned up on time, were polite and tidy, and were very efficient in their work. Once they had completed the job, they explained all everything about the inverter, the hot water timer which I also had installed, and answered all my questions to my complete satisfaction. They also helped me set up the solar app on my phone so that I could monitor my solar system. They also provide after sales service which is excellent to know.
All members of the CDC team were helpful, polite and a pleasure to deal with.

100% Best installer
3 installers were recommended, 1 just sent a quote via email with zero contact and the other 2 did contact with site inspection and quote. We chose CDC for the product they suggested and system set up. The salesperson wasn’t pushy, was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer lots of questions. The other installer only recommended the product they wanted to sell which didn’t even show in their brochure. When we requested a certain product we were told there was a 3 month wait.CDC ensured we were able to get installed before end of year to ensure we got the max rebates. They worked with us trying to navigate loans. Install was efficient and on time.
I am glad we used the solar quote website to navigate the process, highly recommended

Excellent customer service, installation and price
We chose CDC Solar and Electrical after getting 3 quotes through SolarQuotes for our Sunshine Coast area. At their site visit John explained everything clearly and went through the installation process and what happens when the system is up and running. Their quote was the lowest, but not by much. Installation was done efficiently in 8 hours with minor disruption to us.The components they used were mid range according to SolarQuotes and were adequate for the size of the system according to my research. So far their follow-up has been good.
I have no hesitation in recommending them for solar system installation.

Loving my solar
John from CDC Solar was extremely helpful and explained the system I was after very well. I felt confident I was getting the right system for my property. Loving having a battery to reduce the bills even more. Installation went very smoothly and the team installing were polite and friendly. After installation, the app was explained to me and they cleaned up everything perfectly. I highly recommended this company.Panel rating: 5/5
Inverter rating: 5/5
Totally Professional
From the moment I was recommended CDC Solar & Electrical, I found their whole approach completely professional.John conducted a comprehensive assessment of my solar/battery job, he didn't try to sell me anything, he simply listened to me and designed the perfect system to suit my needs.
The communication with both Caroline & Clancy was second to none, I was kept informed of the whole process, questions were answered promptly and as a result, the job progressed seamlessly.
The install team led by Anthony arrived on time, completed the job to a fantastic standard (I'm a very fussy electrical engineer and not easily impressed), were courteous and left the job site spotless. Well done, Dan, Joey, Eli, Chad, Mattias & Danny!
I will certainly be recommending CDC to my neighbour who is in the market for a solar & battery system.
