Dreadful customer service as soon as things go wrong.

Eastern Suburbs Solar did the work but had troubles immediately. They made further adjustments to get the system to work took a month after the install. Then the inverter died within 12 months. They replaced fhis but didn’t do the paperwork associated with the replacement with the manufacturer so the app cannot work. They have since lost all paperwork, warranty and it takes them forever to reply. It took them 2 months of back and forth reply to a simple question and still no site visit to actually have a look. Make sure you get everything in writing from them as they won’t come through with verbal promises quotes etc. Even the little things like this system can be upgraded later easily etc etc make sure you get in writing. They make lots of mistakes, give excuse after excuse as to why it’s not their fault . The work is shoddy at best. I’d avoid them again if I had the chance

Good system and everything working so far.

Dick made every effort to make sure I understood the system and followed up on original quote. Was not the cheapest quote but close. Installers were good.

No fuss and happy with the outcome

After Dick helped us with our purchase of a heat pump hot water system a few months ago, we were happy to consider Easter Suburbs Solar for our PV system. Wasn't quite the cheapest for the system on offer, but the difference was negligible when working with someone we already knew and who was patient with our questions and delays and very informative.
When we finally made a commitment, it took less than two weeks to get the system installed - this in December, with the pre-Christmas (and pre-decrease-in-STCs) rush. The installation went smoothly, and looks neat. With the holiday period it took longer for our electricity retailer to arrange the new meter, so we've only been fully operational for a week so far, with a few overcast days, but averaged about 30kWh per day.

7 months later we asked Adam: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"

Had the PV system online for just over 7 months now (switched on late January), it hasn't missed a beat. The installation has held up through two 'east coast low' weather systems with no signs of installation-related weather issues.

The average daily output through June - July was pretty close to prediction. Almost ideal conditions in August (good sun but still cool, very few cloudy days) has delivered daily average 25% higher than June - July, and monthly total better than either February or March (which were held back by bushfire smoke and bad weather).

Installers broke all our roof tiles causing leakage through to ceilings after installation when it rained

Inverter stopped working and it seems that they will not honour their warranty

Initial vetting and short listing of vendors by SolarQuotes gave me a greater confidence that I was dealing with reputable businesses. The subsequent time provided by ES Solar in discussing the options and multiple system sizing quotes was extremely helpful in making the final call to proceed.
