Exceptional customer service for a respectably priced and sturdy system

The quoting process was very simple for the system I had in mind, I had plenty of questions I prepared and about all of them were respectably answered with transparency and respect to the market and the company's past experience. The process had a focus on helping me understand to make the most out of my solar system beyond the installation, this was a surprise as all the other quotes I had cared only about selling the product.

The installers were polite, I had zero hassles with talking or asking any questions I had when I got an opportunity to ask, the guys were straight forward with anything they needed to tell me or for anything I wanted to say, other than that they were dedicated on working on the system within a timely manner. The panel and racks on the roof were installed fairly well from what I got to look at from time to time. The installers made sure to follow standards such as for the small portion of the roof facing north, it was fitted with 6 out of the 15 panels, the installers had those panels orientated in landscape to make most of the space while working within the exclusion zones between the bottom panels and the gutter. By the time the installation was done there was a decent effort to tidy up the area with no sizeable rubbish left behind.

Communication and customer service has been the strong point with discussing on a solar system with this installer. Throughout the process, I was provided with any email, calls or text regarding to the installation and quote ranging from the installers to both my power provider and distributors. From dealing with the quoting process to follow-up calls to the installation and finally to post installation, the customer service and communication from my sales rep, caller and installer have all been respectable, clear and transparent.

A + Solar installation!!

From start to finish, these guys were awesome.

I found them on Solar quotes and after being put in touch with them, I had a call from someone asking if they could come to my house to see what and how it could be installed. (Incidentally, the only company who did)

Lee arrived on time and had a look around, he found a few additional items that were required to be installed and made me aware of what they were, why it needed to be installed and how much it would cost, this is a huge thing for me not having hidden costs being sprung on me at the last minute. Lee was at my house for 20 minutes, and after he had left, I had a quote within 5 minutes!

After engaging Expert Electrical and paying my deposit, they came to my house and installed the whole system with no fuss, they were a nice bunch of guys who got on with the job and cleaned up after they had finished. Once the installation was completed, they took the time to run me through the system, how it works and how to isolate it. They also told me how to ensure the system stays in good condition and what maintenance was required.

I was so impressed with the whole process and have asked them for more work to be carried out on my house as they deal with A/C installations also!

Very happy,

Thanks guys. Tim Cox

Quick and clear

We had our solar installed on our residential property within a month of first contact. Lee the sales person was easily contactable, friendly, honest and very knowledgeable. The installation team on the day consisted of 4 men who were able to install the whole system and 36 panels in one day. They were friendly, open to questions, efficient and left the place spotless. System works great and love the app for tracking our usage. Feels great to run the clothes dryer guilt free. It has already hugely reduced our electricity bills, in line with what we were advised. Would recommend this company.

Fantastic Installer

After receiving 4 quotes for a new solar system we decided to go with Expert Electrical. They were the best price and provided excellent quality solar panels and inverter. We researched the different brands that each quote provided before making our decision. As soon as we accepted their quote they immediately got the ball rolling and contacted Energex to lodge an application for the new system. Expert electrical was quick to organise the installation date and we are very happy with the results and our new solar system. The staff are professional and kept in touch with us during the whole process and we would have no hesitation in recommending Expert Electrical for anyone wanting a new solar system.

Great quality, very professional

Quality of work was great, which is why we are giving 5 stars! Professional, clean and tidy install.

Only thing was they took a little while to actually schedule us in, we got a bit lost in the numbers. From accepting the quote to being booked was a bit delayed, but the overall product is worth it!

Great experience with this professional company

We had a great experience with Expert Electrical installing solar panels. The initial communication and quote from Lee, was professional, timely and competitive.

Caleb and his team arrived on time and were friendly and professional during the installation process.

Would highly recommended this company.

Timely, Professional & A1 Customer Satisfaction.

From sales to install Expert Electrical were awesome to deal with, it didn't feel like the typical slimy solar company trying to squeeze you for all your dollars. I had my quote adjusted a couple of times and any concerns were always promptly answered with a very short delay.

Expert promised a very good lead time considering the summer install and ultimately delivered on this, even earlier then expected. This made the decision between other installers very easy.

On the day of the install, the crew arrived with perfect timing and ran like a well oiled machine, considering the size of the system i thought it would have taken much longer. The fellas had it all wrapped up by 11:00am and off i began with my solar savings!

Customer service again was fantastic with organizing the grid connection and getting all the other paperwork sorted so i didn't need to really do anything.

Fantastic job Expert Electrical, from Sales, to install, to customer service 10/10.

Great Company. Highly Recommended

Got a quote from 3 providers from this website. Unfortunately, i choose the wrong company to start. After a horrible experience with the other company, I rang Expert Electrical who got me booked in and Solar installed within a matter of weeks. The only disappointment is that i didn't go with them from the start. Seamless install, In fact, the installer was fantastic. Called the day before to ask if he could drop some items of as his other job finished early. He ended up staying until 6pm, just getting himself organised for the next day. Arrived on time and left everything neat and tidy. Ran through everything from start to finish.

Would not hesitate to recommend Expert Electrical to anyone looking for Solar. Everyone was great from start to finish and nothing has been an issue. Organised everything for us and super quick.

Great installation and solid customer service

Expert Electrical are a fantastic family owned small business, and I am glad I chose them as my solar installer. I was warned not to go with Origin for example, as the bigger companies try and lure you in with cheap installs, and higher feed in tariffs, but in the end you get a poor quality install from incompetent contractors.

Shannon quoted me on a 10.56KW system with Jinko Panels and Fronius inverter, with a Catch Relay to run the hot water based on energy production. While he didn't originally quote for digital meter which we found out about on the day of the install, he offered a heavily discounted price to what I would have had to pay. Although this resulted in the install having to run over two days, the system was up and running on the second day by 10am. Maurice and Harry (the installers) were very punctual, and tidy, and explained everything I needed to know about how the system would run. I'm very happy with the product and am generating more than what I need, and hopefully takes off a decent chuck on the next bill!

Great product and service

The process of installing solar was made easy from the get go. The initial consultation was great as Lee came to inspect the house to find the best spot for the panels. He also gave multiple product options as well as a break down of how the system would perform over the years and answered any questions that I had.

On the day of installation Maurice and Harrison arrived early to do a shade check of the morning sun. Installation was fast and to a good standard. The team also organised the connection to our energy provider, making the entire process seamless.

Overall I would say it has been great value for money and I would highly recommend Expert Electrical to anyone considering a solar installation

Exceptional

Expert Electrical installed solar panels and a battery seamlessly. Their professionalism, expertise, and efficiency were outstanding. They explained everything thoroughly and ensured the system was tailored to our needs. The installation was flawless, and we're already seeing significant energy savings. Highly recommend!

A big call out to the exceptional installation from Maurice and Harrison, true professionals that listen to the customer and really do take pride in their work, some of the best trades I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

Great mob to deal with and do business

From the callout for a quote, the installation, the whole process was a breeze for Expert Electrical. Shannon turned up on time for the quote, answered my questions and concerns and the price very competitive. Installation day Morris and the boys turned up on time and all went like clockwork, they know their trade. The site was left clean, all paper work done and I am now enjoying free power. Give Expert Electrical the opportunity to install your solar. I am total satisfied with all. Thanks Paul. Carina

Excellent service, professional and prompt

The salesman was delayed but gave us prior notice. He had done his homework and did not try and sell us the more expensive products. The installation was done quickly and at a time that suited us. We were novices when it came to solar installation but were guided throughout the process

Smooth Process, Hassle Free.

From quote to install it was smooth and painless.

The consult with Shannon was informative and the follow up with Expert Electrical wasn't spammy and pressured like other companies I got quotes with.

They organized all the necessary items with Gov Incentives and Energex requirements and on the day arrived on time and completed the work quickly without any complications.

They even let me know about issues/concerns with my roof that I should look into (not related to the install or their work) and did some temporary fixes which they has no obligations to do!

Original Review on 04-04-2023:

Great installer, uninformed salesperson

Sales person assured me that the system I bought would give me UPS in the event of grid down with only mili-seconds to switch over (important for computer work). He also assured me that the system would run three-phase backup.

When the installer arrived, he said that system configured by the salesperson would not achieve these requirements.

He immediately suggested a different layout and the company approved it at the same price.

The installation was very well done and I think the installer went above and beyond the call of duty.

The system doesn't quite achieve my aims in that the switchover when grid down takes 90 seconds and not the miliseconds I was looking for, but I can cover that with a small UPS.

Overall, I'm very impressed with the installer and ultimately happy with the system that he designed on the spot. I'm not happy with the salesperson.

Excellent

Excellent company.

Shannon from the sales team was highly knowledgeable and worked with my needs and requests patiently. He has an electrical background and was able to speak about technical details.

These guys were happy to install my inverter on the other side of the house in the garage, without any dramas and without overcharging me. Every other company told me it is too hard or quoted a large amount of additional $$ for it. Expert electrical did it without hassles and at reasonable cost.

Caleb and another person were my installers and from what I can tell they’ve done a quality job. Everything looks good to me. They set up wi-fi etc without issue. My system and the monitoring is working well.

Expert electrical’s contract is a fair contract.
They also list all of their suppliers for their equipment , which can be useful information in the event of needing to make a warranty claim.

The essential documentation was all sent within reasonable time after the install.

The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars for the install is because the panel orientation and layout was done differently to the documented design - i would have preferred if this was discussed beforehand.

Overall, would recommend this company and its staff.

Perfect as well as Expert Solar

The offer from Expert Electrical was not only the best gear, at the best price, offering the best long term value in my mind, but the installation was quick, painless, and very professionally carried out. Shannon was very helpful in the quoting and explanation process, and didn’t pester me while I worked through the offers I received from various companies. Once I had decided on them, their very efficient office process had my install booked within a few days, and completed within a few weeks. Maurice the installer and his team were very efficient, professional, thorough and the workmanship was outstanding. Look around but include Expert electrical in your quotes. You won’t be disappointed.

A good company to deal with

From the first contact with Expert Electrical to the final tweaks and paperwork, I found this company excellent to deal with.
Lee (salesperson) was quick to make contact after my request for three quotes from SolarQuotes, and was first to conduct the site inspection and discuss my needs.
Courtney was my main contact in the office and she was quick to respond and willing to help with queries.
Maurice and Harry were the installers. I will point out here that I had just spent a large sum getting my tiled roof to a perfect condition and asked these guys to, not only be careful, but warn me of any issues they may come across.
I found them excellent. Maurice (electrician) was experienced in all solar matters and went above and beyond to finish the job when the delivery of a component was delayed. He was always punctual, polite and willing to answer any queries.
Harry installed the panels on the roof and hard-working and a pleasure to have around with his ready smile.
All the messy stuff, i.e., dealing with the energy provider, etc., was dealt with in a timely manner.
I was impressed and would not hesitate to recommend Expert Electrical.

High Quality Instillation on an Asbestos Roof

Expert Electrical were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. We were looking for an installer who would work with an Asbestos Roof (in good condition) and Expert Electrical were able to provide a high quality, safe and very neat install for our system. They assisted with all administration for setting up our connection, set up our inverter, connected it to the home WIFI and helped set up the App on my phone. Could not recommend highly enough (one of my friends has already signed up with them for a system).

A good company to deal with

The initial contact was done online in a very professional manner, then followed by an onsite visit within a week. The quote was emailed and any queries quickly resolved. We had the installation completed within 3 weeks of accepting. Their installation team was excellent but let down by the electrician who left the inverter not configured and did some unacceptable conduit work. This was very quickly resolved once brought to the part owner's attention which included an after hours visit.

I have found EE very easy to contact and deal with. They are prepared to go the extra effort to get resolutions to any issues. Totally happy with the performance of our 6.6kW system with the perfomance exceeding expectations.

Quality Service

The quote we received was delivered quickly and followed up professionally after we accepted. We had Zoom interview with Tony and he made us comfortable with the process of installation, rebates and approvals.
The team who arrived on the day installed the complete system and cleaned up afterwards. They were very professional and polite guys. They insured we were aware of safety precautions regarding the system and after answering a barrage of questions, which were all answered, the system was handed over to us and we commenced making our own power.

Exceptional Service

When the electrician ame out to quote, he noticed one of the strings on the existing panels was not functioning. He got up on the roof to try to fix it but there were too many problems. He took photos for us and ad ised us how to report it if our previous installer would not. He was surprised that we didn't have an app to check our output.
After the installation, this same electrician set up the app on my tablet and made sure I knew how to use it.
After a few months we had someone else from Expert Electrical to come out and discuss additional a battery to the solar panels. With the help of the app, he could see our production and consumption and advised against installing a battery.
