Quality system expertly installed
The whole process from the very beginning was made simple by the staff who were knowledgeable, professional and they simply explained, what was to us, a technical minefield.The installation was done on time under trying weather conditions and the finished workmanship was excellent.
Once the installation was completed Chris arrived to run us through the complete system. His knowledge and effective communication skills essentially put to bed any operational shortfalls that both my wife and I had. The mobile app on our phones showing the entire system is simply genius and so informative and simple to use.
We specifically chose an established local business for this installation as we got burnt ten years ago by a non local supplier who promised the earth on the solar deal only to deliver a cheap and nasty system that died after four years and they were nowhere to be found.
The system that we chose was not the cheapest system around but the quality of the product backed up by Choice magazine reviews gave us peace of mind for our financial outlay.

Easy process and install
Had a very good experience with G Solar. I just walked in off the street to ask some questions. They made time for me and we went through some options. They were good to deal with at every step of the process and kept me informed with how things were going and when to expect site inspections and installs. They removed my old panels and installed the new ones efficiently and within my timeframes.25 September 2026

G solar battery installation
These guys are amazing , clear with their quote no hidden costs. Quality products , the install team arrived on time , they were respectful, knowledgeable, and Adam the lead was just so easy to have on site . When he left I understood my system much better than I ever had before . I think you get what you pay for, I went with local as they know about cyclone ratings and panels . I would highly recommend them.29 July 2026

Farmer wants a solar system
Outstanding Off-Grid Solar Installation! We recently had G-Solar & Electrical install an off-grid system for our farm, and the entire experience was flawless.From start to finish, the friendly team provided absolute professionalism and open transparency. They kept us fully informed at every stage and supplied absolutely everything needed for my own involvement in the project, making the entire process stress-free.They arrived exactly on time (punctuality is rare these days, but they nailed it) and left the workspace absolutely spotless, showing great respect for our property.The workmanship is top-tier. Every component of the system is neatly mounted, wired safely, and built to handle harsh farm conditions. What really impressed us was the value; they delivered an incredibly high-performing setup that was highly cost-effective compared to other quotes we received.Aftercare can often be an afterthought with trades, but G-Solar made the installation aftercare entirely straightforward. They walked us through the system monitoring, explained how to manage our power, and made sure we felt confident running completely off the grid before they left.If you need a reliable, neat, and budget-friendly solar team—especially for complex rural or off-grid setups—I cannot recommend G-Solar & Electrical highly enough!27 April 2026

G Solar & Electrical for the win
I recently upgraded my home solar and battery system throughG Solar & Electrical and could not be happier with the experience.
I previously had a six-year-old system consisting of 5kW of solar panels and a Tesla Powerwall 2 battery. Over time the battery capacity had degraded, and Tesla offered a replacement with the new Tesla Powerwall 3. As G-Solar & Electrical are Tesla Premium Installers, they were the obvious choice to handle the upgrade.
In March 2026, their team completed a major system upgrade, installing 45 Phono Helios CLEAR 440W Dual Glass Bifacial panels (19.8kW) along with a Tesla Powerwall 3 and expansion pack, giving a total of 27kW of battery storage.
From the very beginning, the team at G Solar were fantastic to deal with. Alexis Rogato (Business Manager) was courteous, professional and extremely prompt with all communications during the planning stage. Helen Durand (Administration) was also incredibly helpful in answering my questions along the way. Daniel (Installation Manager) coordinated the job smoothly, and Anthony and his on-site installation team were absolute professionals on the day. The workmanship was excellent, the wall installation is neat and tidy, and as an added bonus the team completed the job ahead of schedule.
I cannot recommend G Solar & Electrical highly enough. If you’re considering solar or battery storage, they are a professional, knowledgeable and reliable team to work with.

Great quality products, excellent service and attention to detail
G-solar made the whole process straight forward.From my initial enquiry online to have additional solar and a battery installed, they called to clarify details and provided me with several quotes promptly.
Accepting the quote and making a deposit was easy, and G-solar stayed in touch throughout the whole process, updating me what paperwork needed completing and when they would next be on site.
They even moved my install date earlier than first arranged which was even better.
The workmanship was excellent, and everything was installed and tidied up without fuss, you wouldn't have even know they'd been at my place, except for the fact there was a big new battery now in my garage.
Signing up to the system app was easy and everything was working without fuss.
Would highly recommend.

Excellent customer experience
From start to finish, the entire solar installation was handled with real professionalism. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding—every panel, cable, and component has been installed with precision and care. You can tell the team takes pride in doing things properly.What impressed me just as much was the cleanliness of the job. The installers kept everything tidy throughout the day, worked efficiently, and left the site spotless. It’s rare to see tradespeople who are this respectful of your home and this committed to delivering a clean, well?finished result.
The installers themselves were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced. They walked me through the setup, answered every question, and made the whole process feel easy.
Highly recommend—excellent quality, excellent service, and a team you can trust.

Great team, installation and products.
The quoting process involved a few calls and emails as I had two smaller systems that were still working, 1 was 7 years old and the other over 10 years old. They were always responsive to these inquiries but I think there was always a preference for a completely new system rather than a hybrid system.I went for a completely new system due to upgraded technology, warranty and compatibility. Now that it is installed the extra cost does seem worth it due to the simplicity of monitoring it and those other advantages.
The installation team were fantastic. Spent a long hot day on my roof with minimal interruptions and great communication. The installation looks to be of the highest quality.

A gem of a company
We contacted G Solar based on feedback from our electrician and after reading the reviews we were further committed to engaging them for our project. G Solar proved to be incredibly efficient in the processes they employed at every stage and every person that we engaged with was incredibly helpful and knowledgable. From enquiry through to post installation follow up they are professional and friendly. All aspects to do with subsidy submission through to energy provider approval are managed by the company and you are kept informed of every aspect with all the paperwork associated with the install provided to you. We had extra panels installed as well as a Sigenergy inverter and battery system and it is spot on for us and could not be any more user friendly.The installation was a standout not only in how efficient it was but also in how available the staff involved were to answer questions so we understood the install, the function and the safety features associated with the system. This is a company that you can feel confident knows what they are doing from beginning to end ,and beyond if you need more advice.
G Solar made a big investment as stress free as they possibly could and in fact it is clear that as well as a professional install of a great system they have it as their goal to make sure you feel in control and well informed at every stage.

Solar Upgrade
After having solar on our roof for over ten years, my wife and I decided it was time for an upgrade. At the same time, we planned to have the roof re-screwed and repainted. I contacted G-Solar for a quote to upgrade our existing solar system — both with and without batteries — and advised them of the upcoming roof maintenance. The quoting process was seamless and completed entirely online. Once I accepted the quote, G-Solar agreed to remove the old panels so the roof work could be done before we went on holidays, with the new system to be installed upon our return. They were very accommodating to this arrangement.The technicians arrived on the scheduled day and got straight to work. Chris and his team were punctual, polite, and exceptionally tidy — so much so that a friend who installed our hot water system later commented on how neat the inverter installation was. After the installation, Chris even took the time to help me set up the monitoring app on my phone, allowing me to easily track our electricity usage.

Efficient and friendly
A very good experience overall.The quote was handled will, with the team promptly replying to any questions that in had.
The installation date was booked in and did not deviate from the planned date.
Installation started later than expected due to an overrun from the previous day; however I was informed of this the day before and was happy with that. My install also ran to the next morning due to this.
The team were friendly and efficient.
Everything was tidied up well after the install.
They ran me through the work done and let me know the follow up procedures eg getting the app for the inverter.
I was contacted after the install to see if I was happy with everything.
All in all a great experience.
