Exceptional Service, on time and all as promised.
Corey helped us replace our Tesla Powerwall 2 and upgrade to two Powerwall 3. The team were exceptionally professional and did absolutely everything you would expect from a highly skilled installer. This company is one of the best and deserve to be recognised for the service that they deliver.15 May 2026
Solar battery installation
Tremendously happy. Exceed Solar has been very easy to deal with, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.The installation process was tidy, professional and had very pleasant installers to deal with.
Highly recommended where customer service does mean something. They delivered on all fronts: on time, price, quality and customer service.
Thank you so much to Rikky and his team.

Seamless Solar panel and battery installation
We initially got Exceed Solar to come and give us a quote as a referral from someone else.They were very professional and we found their recommendations to be perfect for our needs and not over the top.
They arrived when they said they would which is always a bonus.
Everything was done for us and the communication was always there and still is.

Great Installer
Exceed Solar installed our system around 1 month ago. We are happy, and the system is performing as expected.Points of note include that the quote was backed up by an in-person site visit, which set it apart from other installers. Installers who attended the site were easy to get along with and informed us when power needed to be cut periodically.
The system plan was to upgrade an existing 6.5kW system as follows;
6.51kW Solar system with 27kWh battery storage
2 x Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh / 13.5kWh usable)
2 x Tesla Powerwall 3 (5kW) - built-in inverter
14 x AIKO Solar Neostar
Overall, the team was easy to get along with, and the system has been functioning as designed. Great job.

Exceed Solar - exceeding my expectations
Just had our Tesla Powerwalls installed by Exceed Solar and honestly, really happy with how everything went.Big thanks to Rikky, Jess, Cathy, Sean and the whole team — everyone was super easy to deal with from start to finish. Communication was clear, they were responsive, and happy to answer all my questions along the way.
Installation day was smooth. The team was on time, respectful of the house, and made sure everything was working properly before they left.
Safe to say Exceed Solar definitely exceeded my expectations.
Overall just a really good, hassle-free experience. Would definitely recommend them if you’re thinking about getting solar panels or batteries.

Excellent installation and follow up service
It is now 2.5 years since Exceed Solar (previously AESA) installed our system. We continue to be very happy and the system is performing to our expectations.Most notable: Exceed have given excellent follow up service both during and since the installation. We have had 2 physical components (1 x solar edge component and 1 x current transformer) go awry in the years since the installation. These things happen - no-one to fault. Most impressive though is that Exceed continue to take a keen interest in the work they have done and they came out to promptly fix things on both occasions. This is most important - ongoing interest and support from your installer is paramount. There are a few moving parts to having a solar system and trying to get satisfaction from a parts manufacturer or energy company if you have any queries can (will!!) lead to dead ends. We have found that Exceed are the people to contact first.
The original quotes we got for our system (using solar quotes) were similar in terms of price. We chose Exceed Solar because it was self-evident when meeting them that they were both exacting and principled - and that has since proven to be the case.
Ours is a 1950s double brick home. During the installation we were concerned about possible damage to ceramic roof tiles or to the walls (where the batteries are hung). Exceed ensured there were no problems. They handled all aspects of the installation and grid connection.
At the time of quoting Exceed gave us options to consider in a way that would satisfy our needs and pockets and to work optimally with any constraints of the site. Since then, the system has performed in the way we were led to believe. In retrospect we would have had some extra panels installed on the eastern aspect of our house - this area is shaded by trees during summer, but as the trees are deciduous, if we had solar cells on this side of the house it would help generate extra power during the bit of a lull we have during winter. That said, using Amber as our energy vendor our energy bills mostly even out to just a few hundred dollars annually.
We went with SolarEdge at the time as we wanted self-assurance that we could add to the system over time (eg. EV) but we haven't put that to the test. However, SolarEDGE wasn't the cheapest option and we think we would go for one of the more modular battery systems that have since become available if we had our time again.
Our system includes a SolarEDGE hot water management component - we think that was the right choice as we have a resistance hot water system and want that to live out its life before thinking of a heat exchanger.
Our installation included: 2 x SolarEDGE Batteries (total 19.4 kWh) + SolarEDGE inverter + SolarEDGE hot water management + Tiger Solar Panels (10.56 kW).

Excellent people to deal with
Quote was extremely informative. All questions were answered with knowledge making our choice easier. When I changed my mind from 16 to 20 panels there were no problemsInstallation was on time-no delays. Installers extremely friendly and extremely tidy over the 2 days of installation.
Customer service:- communications were excellent before and after installation. We liked that we only had to pay a deposit and then balance on completion , making us feel like a valued customer and not just a grab for money. Everything was completed to our satisfaction. They also said to ring if any concerns. I also liked that the panels and battery is monitored by them for the life of the guarantee. We would give them a AAA rating.

Absolutely loving my Tesla Powerwall 3 system from Exceed Solar!
Absolutely loving my Tesla Powerwall 3 system from Exceed Solar!I trust the Exceed Team with a relatively large investment like this because they use all of their own internal Electricians to do the installs so there’s no dodgy sub contractors involved.
The two Directors Corey and Rikky are both Electricians too and genuine people who pride themselves on high quality installs and practical advice which filters down to everyone in the team!
12.44kw Solar system with 460W Aiko solar panels connected to a Tesla Powerwall 3 with an expansion module giving 27kwh worth of storage.
They also installed a 270L iStore heat pump and an induction cooktop so we completely disconnected the gas and run on sunshine now!

Great install of a second PW2
Rikky nad team installed a second PW2 for me a couple of months ago, which went very well. They did a great job, team was punctual, informative and did a very neat job, works flawlessly. The one last thing to be finished was the proactive bumper as the system is on an exterior hose wall with an integral carport. The original PW2 had a chunky bumper and the updated model was more compact. Rikky was great to offer to replace the original bumper with a new model so both batteries matched. The work was done this week, again, no issues, a great job and great service. Uploaded details include the original install in 2023 and the second PW2 in 2025Panel rating: 5/5

Excellent in all aspects
From the outset, Rikky was very informative, patient and honest. I was keen to get a SigEnergy system when I first began the research in mid 2024, Rikky suggested being patient to see how the early installs performed and I took his advice before going ahead in mid 2025. He visited the site a few times during this period to check in and answer my questions. Installation team led by Sean were brilliant; punctual, professional, friendly, very tidy and informative. Also very supportive and great teachers of the of the apprentices in the team. Always kept me informed and were very accomodating in completing a few extra requests. Part of the project included a heat pump install, and unexpectedly the old hot water system failed 2 weeks prior to scheduled install, so Rikky went out of his way to expedite the heat pump install and his team worked all day in very wet conditions to ensure we had hot water back on. I had a few technical issues with network connections to the gateway and heat pump, but my requests for support were followed up same day with a site visit to sort everything. Price quoted includes heat pump and install, induction cooktop install, removal of gas heaters and cooktop and approx $2k of extra electrical work.I highly recommend the Exceed team.

Great solar installation!
Getting a quote was a good experience. Ricky took the time to carefully explain the various issues with solar systems. This helped us to make a good decision, after we reviewed all the quotes we received.The install happened faster than we anticipated. The install team were courteous and took the time to explain what was happening. They asked to turn the power off as necessary.
They went the extra mile in relabelling the various circuits in the meter box and explained what circuits would be covered in a power outage.
After sales service was terrific. Ricky came and made sure we got connected to the Tesla app. A further follow-up occurred to ensure that remote mpnitoring was functioning.
All in all - it was great from go to whoa.

Installation looks amazing!
Options were presented and was given the benefits for different batteries.
Great Customer Service
This is the second time that Ricky has helped me, he initially installed a solar system, and has now install a Tesla 3 battery. I find that customer service prompt and reliable, and Ricky is great at spending time to explain how the different options might work for me to help select the right product and even gives some advice on different types of plans to look into to make the most of the solar and battery. I have just been on the phone with him again as he called me to check how it’s all going and make sure that I understood the app associated with the products that I have. I have found Exceed to be trustworthy and the provide a quality service.
