Fantastic company, very clean installation.

Couldn’t be happier with the process of getting solar from Evo Solar.

From initial contact through to a flawless installation, the entire process was no pressure, educational and professional.
Cam helped us understand our options in plain English, explained the impact of various changes, and was happy to build multiple quotes so we could find a system that suited us. There was no sales pressure, and lots of patience.

The tradespeople that conducted the install were punctual, friendly & professional, and left the house / roof cleaner than when they arrived! Installation is very neat and tidy.

Will be going back to Evo Solar when the time comes for an EV charger.

If you’re in Geelong, choose EVO Solar

Cam, Toni & the team were incredible to deal with. Every call, question or request was met without hesitation and everyone was great.

So many options were given with great detail, for someone who doesn’t know much about solar they made it all so simple. Didn’t push paying for more than what we could afford and gave us everything we needed!
Installers were clean, efficient and polite! Couldn’t recommend more for solar.

Excellent installer who takes the time to listen and explain

Cam from Evo Solar provided 3 different scenarios for our solar install, including pros and cons for each option. He did a site visit and explained the options very clearly- we are not able to afford a battery just yet, but wanted a robust solar system that could accomodate battery storage and EV car charging in the future.
We opted for a 12.9 KW system and a 10KW Gen24 Fronius inverter with Trina 400W panels. The inverter was not available so we waited 8 weeks for it to be released. In that time, Trina released 440W panels, and Cam upgraded to those at no extra cost. This bumped our system up to 13.2KW.
The install was very neat- the installers were all Evo Solar employees (not contractors). The rails were installed without requiring any extra access holes in the roof. Install was interrupted by some severe weather, but the team returned on the weekend after to complete the job.
Evo Solar took care of liaising with my power company and wholesaler.

Evo Solar were excellent - great experience from start to finish

The whole process of working with Evo Solar was excellent from pre-sales, through installation to after-sales service.

Within minutes of my initial conversation with Cam, I had a series of options all fully quoted, diagrammed and with contracts ready to electronically sign.

The installation went perfectly smoothly. The installers were efficient and friendly and informed us of what was happening throughout the process.

The customer service from EVO is come of the best I have had the pleasure of experiencing. Communications were timely and friendly. All aspects of the installation were taken care of, not just the installation, but ensuring that both the power grid and my retail provider were informed and establishing my service promptly. The after-sales service has also been excellent with follow-up questions being handled brilliantly.

Cam is clearly running an incredible business at EVO and everyone clearly understands their role and the value they add to the client. Cannot recommend enough.

Original Review on 02-03-2023:

Quality Remains When Price is Forgotten

The "salesperson" for EVO Solar is Cam a local licenced electrician servicing Geelong and Surf Coast. He was not only talks the talk but walks the walk. He uses personally Sunpower Maxeon 6 AC PV cells with the Enphase iQ7A microinverters and recommended these for my moderately treed installation site. The concept of AC from the roof rather than DC and microinverters to mitigate voltage drop for intermittent shading was appealing. Both product and workmanship warranty 25y and suitable for salt water environment. Sure other systems were quoted and cheaper but the quality remains when price is forgotten. Remember - you buy cheap you pay twice!
Installers Travis and Ben were punctual, professional, cheerful and proficient. Very happy to have used EVO Procam and grateful for the advice from Finn Peacock from SolarQuotes. Now hanging out for the Enphase bidirectional EV charger, a potential game changer I suspect.

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

The system as installed has functioned perfectly. Finn's and EVO Solar recommendations were great. To date I have exported over 6MWh for the usual paltry rates. When the Enphase Bidirectional EV charger becomes available - it will be a welcome addition but only if at an affordable price. Money that would have gone into a Tesla Powerwall II will then be allocated to the Bidirectional charger and an EV with at least an 80kWh battery.

Fantastic experience. Cam was friendly, knowledgeable and able to explain complicated things in a way I could easily understand.

Cam was by far the most knowledgeable person to provide a quote and was not at all "salesy". Listened carefully to my requirements and clearly explained why the setup he recommended would be the best overall result, this was not the cheapest system I was offered but provided what I needed.

Cam and his team were incredibly responsive and provided clear and regular communication throughout the entire process. Even when the installation team commenced work Cam was still in regular contact.

The installation team were incredibly professional even under very trying conditions and involved us in the installation process so we could have input when unexpected little complications arose.

Could not be happier with the service from Evo Solar....would encourage anyone to use them.

The discusion around what system I would purchase was informative and helped me chose the system that was finally installed

The sales/quoting process was thorough and very explanatory, with out being overly complicated or overly technical
The installation crew were polite and tidy in the way they went about the installation.
The crew missed their arrival time by only 30 minutes, but this was understandable due the the inclement weather. There was a real possibility the installation would not go ahead on the day agreed

Great service by a knowledgeable friendly team. (Battery installation only)

The quote process was prompt and personalised to our needs.
Upon acceptance the battery installation was expediently organised and completed within 4 days.
The electrician was experienced and carried out the task in a professional, safe and efficient manner.
The work site was thoroughly cleaned after completion and a safety inspection requested.
The team at EvoSolar were a pleasure to deal with and I would recommend their service to anyone seeking a solar and/or battery back up system.

Evo Solar Installation

Excellent service, very prompt replies to all questions and requests for various quotes with different variations of panel size/configuration to determine the most suitable system.
Installation was booked for the first available free dates and carried out very professionally and quickly over a day and a half.
The system has been in place for a little over 2 weeks, so a bit too early to tell how well everything works in a range of conditions, but so far so good and can't fault at all.
Thoroughly recommend Evo Solar.

Excellent installation and service

The quote provided 4 options and the sales person was clearly enthusiastic and knowledgeable about all things solar. The installation team were punctual, tidy, polite and did a first class job. The admin side of the project was handled by their office team who also did a great job.

Highly recommended, excellent service

Cam from EvoSolar was incredibly helpful and patient as he worked with me to design a system that fit my constraints. He always had time for my many questions, and probably prepared a half-dozen quotes before I was ready to sign.

He made sure to send a larger team, to get the system installed in one day. They showed up right on time, did an excellent job, and always checked with me before drilling any holes or running any cables. The team was friendly, install was finished on time, and they tidied after themselves.

I got a call a few days later from Evo Solar to check I was happy with everything, and to explain what the next steps would be.

Overall, I am very satisfied and I would unreservedly recommend Evo Solar.

Good experience

Quoting process was done online (other companies who quoted came out to site), no site inspection undertaken. The site inspection at quoting stage probably would have made it easier for the installers as they came out the day before to set up safety equipment and found that we had a few vents for ventilation fans on the roof which needed to be moved to fit the panels in. Was really happy that Travis worked a way around it as he didn't want the panels to be installed and not look good.

Cam and the team were very helpful and really easy to deal with.

Old fashioned epic customer service

Cam was amazing! Knows all you need to know about solar/batteries etc. Polite, on time, tidy, very responsive and answered our many questions! We couldn’t ask for a better person to have worked with! Highly recommend to anyone contemplating Solar, batteries or wall box chargers. We will be using again in the future for a battery install!

Original Review on 22-11-2022:

System and service.

After having asked for several quote's for a solar installation I was less than impressed with the response received. I understand we live in an electronic age but I still like to think that my business and need's are heard and met, and not solely conducted over the internet.
Evosolar listened to what I, through research, considered I might need, gave myself two quotes and offered to visit my house for a consultation, which none of the other quotes where interested in doing.
The chosen system was of a more expensive system from a reputable manufacturer. Evosolar arrived on time, on a day that was very windy and at times very wet, I thought that there was no way that the installation would take place, but it did. It took longer of course, but the installers persisted and finished the project as promised.
On the day a different spread of panel's was suggested for my roof, I was expecting the panel's to be mainly on the north facing aspect, but the suggested placement made more sense when explained to me and I'm very happy with the installation.
The Installer's where punctual, polite and efficient, left no rubbish, did an excellent job especially given it was such a foul day with the weather.
'If you are in the market for a solar system and live around the Geelong area I recommend Cam at Evosolar.

Best Customer Experience

The whole process from contacting Evo Solar, discussing options, receiving detailed quotes for several options, planning and installation was a very positive experience. Cam from Evo Solar is very professional and helpful. He was guiding us through the whole process and took the time to answer any question we had along the way. The installation was on time and the workmanship of the team was excellent. Evo Solar also took care of commissioning and connecting the system.
Dealing with anyone of their team was a pleasure.
If you want a quality solar system at a fair price and the absolute best customer service, it is hard to go past Evo Solar -
10 out of 10.

Extremely happy with our new PV system!

Cam has extensive knowledge about the products he sells. He is clearly passionate about solar and energy efficiency too. Cam completed a site inspection then provided several quotes to try suit our household needs and budget.
The team that completed the install were on time, friendly and communicated well. The weather didn't make the install easy but the guys got the job done.
Our home is all electric, so we are looking forward to the difference solar makes on our home thanks to the team at Evo Solar!

Outstanding product and service - Evosolar

From the moment I contacted Evo Solar, to the installation of our 10kw system, the process has been seamless. The quote was supplied quickly and was extremely comprehensive. All of our questions were answered promptly and comprehensively. Communication was excellent, keeping us informed as to the installation and documentation that we needed to complete. On the day of installation, Evo Solar turned up at the pre arranged time and worked throughout the day to ensure all the work was completed. The installers were polite and extremely helpful, ensuring all rubbish etc was removed from site. Customer service was exemplary and they are assisting with grid connection.

Easy to deal with solar installer

Evo Solar was awesome to deal with and was quickly onto my online enquiry, with multiple quotes for different options emailed through and with follow up phone calls and a site visit.

Evo Solar pre-wired up some conduits prior to the install of the solar system. The actual install of the system was completed over two days which consisted of 25 panels some on tilts, inverter and Tesla battery.

If you need a solar system, don't hesitate to contact the team at Evo Solar.

All parts of the installation and grid connection went very well, it was all sorted by Evo.

I would definitely recommend Evo for anyone thinking of adding a solar system to their house.

Great experience all round

Evo Solar were great to deal with at all stages - helpful, open and honest. Initial discussions and the quote (not the cheapest or the dearest) instilled confidence that they were experts in the field and provided value for money. The installation was smooth, and the team friendly and efficient. All is go now, and we are very happy with our experience. Thanks!

Super Happy with Installation and Process

Solar Quote was obtained shortly after contact and discussing options. They checked back to see if I had any queries. The quote was very detailed including where the panels would go and they gave 3 different options which included estimates on saving based on my energy bills I had provided.
Once quote was accepted they schedule in a date for installation.
Installers turned up on the morning of the date and explained the process and that there would be a truck - arriving - if it was ok to park in the drive and did I need to get my car out- how polite - was impressed.
The workmen were all very polite and left the property in good condition - even removing an old hot water system I had for free :)
When work was complete, they showed me the system and advised that they would need to turn it off until it was inspected but that they had scheduled it in and would occur in 3 days time.
Inspector came and everything was good so turned it on.
I had old solar panels that the inverter failed on - it was nearly 12 years old and it seemed to be a lot of hassle - this was just seamless and I highly recommend them.

Seamless Installation

Had a great experienc with Evo Solar.

Cam provided very helpful technical insights /advice for my consideration, which helped select a battery to meet my specific requirements when extending my solar array and installing a battery in May. I chose a Tesla Powerwall 2

The quoting process was very straight forward and quick.

Scheduling for the installation was within a few weeks.The installation team arrived when they said they would, completed the work promptly, and were a pleasure to deal with. The installation is very tidy and the team left the garage & surrounds spotless.

Grid connection was done by Evo Solar, and the Electrical Safety review was completed within two days.

Thanks Team!

Fantastic and easy process

A possible complex and confusing process of selecting the right panels and inverter was made easier by Cam through his knowledge, experience and honest approach. The double storey installation was completed by an excellent team who were polite, tidy and punctual. They also employed stringent safety procedures. The application for the solar rebates was made easy by the documentation provided. We received excellent customer service beginning with the quoting through to the stage of grid connection. We also received detailed information about the system and how to use the phone app to monitor the energy produced, used or sent back to the grid.

Fantastic Installer

I can't fault EvoSolar on their sales/quoting process. Having done some research on the solarquotes.com site we had lots of questions as to different system options - size of inverter compared to capacity of panels, best location for panels, best location for inverter etc. Cam was very patient in answering our many questions and helped us to understand the process, costing and the best system to suit our needs.
The team that installed the system were polite, tidy and punctual. We're really happy with our system and the service we received from EvoSolar and would happily recommend them to others looking for a quality system.

From the start Cam was very approachable and answered any questions we had.
Installation wise everything was done on time and punctuality was spot on. we had some changes as my daughter was having a full system installed and we moved to a different day to help weather wise which fully arranged with Cam. Everything was left as it was once the job was done with no cleaning up required
We were in constant contact with Ros in admin for service dates and with Cam on the day to set up the Tesla app on my phone as I am not good in that way and Cam made it easy

A job well done

Cam from Evo Solar was exceptionally proactive with his response to the project brief and came up with some good options outside of the specifications to win the competitive tender from 2 other tier 1 companies.

Despite the challenges of bad weather and a difficult cable run, the team cheerfully and professionally got on with the job and delivered a very good outcome, technically and aesthetically.

The Evo team managed everything for us in terms of grid connection, certificates etc.

Very happy with the the whole process.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Cam and his team at a solar company, and I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. From start to finish, they were easy to deal with and made the process of installing solar panels on my home a breeze.

What impressed me the most was the quality of the system they designed for me. It's clear that they're experts in their field, and they were able to create a custom solution that met all of my needs at a reasonable price point. I feel confident that I made the right choice in choosing this company, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to make the switch to solar power.

Five Star Install

Received a referral to Evo Solar by SQ's. Quickly impressed by owner Cam's friendly nature and honest advice. Cam was attentive and engaging. Received a professional quote. Cam visited a few days later to provide on site assessment.

Installation went really well, bar the poor weather. Communication was clear and guys were punctual. Guys were really friendly and felt comfortable with them in and out of the house. Lovely fellah. Lead installer Travis was very knowledgeable. Very neat install. Left the place clean and tidy.

Systems working really well. Will happily use Evo for future upgrades including heat pump installation and splits.

Cam was true to his word

Engaging Evo was the simple part. They have a polite group of installers who are very efficient. What made it easy for us was Evo organised everything after that. There are multiple steps involved including a contract to supply to Poweror. Having Evo explain and guide us on each step certainly avoided any hiccups. The panels on the shed roof and the two inverters on the wall have been fitted precisely and do look stylish.
You may say its only a shed, however style is attention to detail and Evo understand that.

Best team around, hands down!

The entire process with Cam and the team at EvoSolar was awesome. SolarQuotes shot me off to 3 different installers which I assume were all in my area. Cam was the only one that came straight out to site to talk me through it, educate me on different systems etc. Also super patient as I went backwards and forwards looking at all the various options an alternatives...

All the other installers couldnt' come near this kind of service!

Installation was booked in when they said it would be and the team turned up and did an awesome job.

Hands down the easist knowledge bunch of guys to work with, haven't used any Grid power since its been installed!

For good experience

EvoSolar were prompt with their quotes, during a time when installers were taking weeks to get back to me. Cameron was happy to issue multiple quotes for me to compare, and we spoke on the phone a couple of times.

The installation was very smooth, even to the point of Cameron helping me source some second hand roof tiles to replace broken roof tiles.

The entire team was professional, and I can't think of anything negative.
