5 Star Review
I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with G Solar. From the very beginning, their team was knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. They walked me through every step of the process — from system design and permitting to installation and activation — and made everything feel smooth and stress-free.The installation team was punctual, courteous, and left everything clean and tidy. They clearly take pride in their work, and it shows in the quality of the installation. I also appreciated how transparent they were about costs, timelines.
Since going solar, I’ve already noticed a significant drop in my electricity usage. If you’re considering solar, I highly recommend G Solar
Battery rating: 5/5

Friendly and Professional
The entire process from the quoting stage to installation was pretty easy.The office staff were friendly and helpful with any questions I had or changes that I needed along the way. The installation crew turned up early on the day and had my 10.5kw system set up a running by early afternoon. I can now monitor my grid usage and power generation from an app on my phone. Happy with everything G-Solar have done and will recommend them to others.

Excellent installer
Sales and quoting process provided good system knowledge with excellent communication.Installers on the day were excellent. As an electrician myself Anthony displayed a high level of knowledge and experience and was extremely helpful explaining the new system and resolved a login issue for me with Fronius.
With 20 years' experience in residential and solar electrical installations I was very confident in his workmanship.

A well run company providing excellent value
We had an excellent experience with G-Solar. They offer a fair price and quality product, providing excellent value. Alexis and Tom did a great installation, and I was impressed that some of their colleagues who had finished other jobs came to help them complete the work. I can see why they win awards. Highly recommended.Inverter rating: 5/5

Exceptional product and customer service from start to end.
From start to finish, G-Solar have provided exceptional customer service and attendances at the property for the installation. The whole team at G-Solar have been helpful, courteous, which is refreshing change in the Cairns region when it comes to the provision of services. They turn up when they say they do, the communication is outstanding with the expectations from them and what they required from us. Top notch service and I do not hesitate to recommend them and have done so already.23 January 2025

Amazing Installer
From start to finish the process with G-Solar was amazing.Quotes and options discussed to achieve the best outcome for the customer based on needs, cost and product suitability.
The installation team (all 8 of them) arrived promptly and early.
The installation was completed in a day, (a big day for the team) and fortunately the heat wave had passed.
Follow ups from in the days after installation were very helpful. The system was being monitored to determine connectivity and power production.
The new Sigenergy battery system is incredible. it is a 3-phase system perfect for our house.
Overall, we are very satisfied customers.
A Painless Exercise
Talk about a painless exercise.I interviewed 5 companies before I had the opportunity to talk with Grant from G Solar. He was definitely the company to run with for many reasons: depth of true infomation, value for money, local provider and monitor of system post installation and a down right good bloke.
The men arrived on time and left late in the afternoon after the complete install in one day.
I fed the lovely, polite gentlemen cake and coffee and they crawled around in the roof cavity, revamping the switchboard, and spent endless hours up on the roof fixing 30 panels to our roof. Mason sat with me at the computer and gave me very detailed instructions on the computer app, as well as on my phone and a tour of the switchboard and the inverter. No question from me was regarded as silly and all were answered with lots of patience and expertise. The selling point is that the company can look at our system remotely and moniter and advise accordingly. I thoroughly recommend anyone looking at investing in solar to use this company. We are so very impressed.
