Absolutely faultless experience
Absolutely faultless experience. From enquiry, to quote, to installation and post install follow up, we could not have been more happier with the solar install.Small things like emailing and calling back on the same day, showing up for install on time and even offering to fix the rusty roof screws - may seem like basics of customer service, but it is rarely seen these days. System is working like a dream - sorry Ergon!
Happy to recommend G-Solar and will continue to engage.
Install: 10kW solar + 16kW Sigenergy battery and removal of old solar system.

16kw system with battery supply and installation
Great service and communication throughout the process, From the outset of getting the quote the team called up to ensure they got all right information.Compared to other quotes with similar systems theres was the best value and the quote provided a few options as well.
Come installation day the team were on time, professional and most off all cleaned up after themselves.
Plus the after sales support has been great.

Professional, with attention to detail.
The whole process was seamless. We were informed every step of the way, with polite and relevant updates, and invoicing that was clear and straight forward.The installation team were punctual and very accommodating in answering our queries.
The final result was an extremely neat and tidy installation, showing a considered approach to connecting to the existing switchboard and cable runs.
Summing up, all questions were answered, with a clear overview of how the system, and associated app works.
We can't fault G-Solar and will encourage others to use their services.

Great installation team
Dealing with G-Solar was one of the most pleasant experiences. From sales/quotes process that they fully explained to the installation were the boys were punctual polite and tidy. To the customer service we’re they helped install the solar app on my phone and explain how to use it, we also got a phone call the next day to make sure everything was working properly and make sure we’re happy with everything. So a big thank you to the team a G-Solar.01 August 2025
Trouble free install
I can confidently recommend Grant and his team to anyone looking for a quality solar installer. G-solar performance has been impressive from start till end. They listened to our energy needs and designed a new solar battery system for us and its working flawlessly. Old system was removed and new one installed over 3 days. The team that performed the work were great and the quality of the install is excellent. Clean and tidy job. Communication has been good and I have every confidence in this company that they stand behind their product and that they will continue to grow.G-solar was recommended to me and I am very happy I made the call. Definitely 5 star start to finish
Thanks G-Solar

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.

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

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.

Painless install
The team communicated well through out the process and were very flexible and understanding when body corporate held things up. Again communication was key here. From quote to install had not one difficult moment. Highly reccomend and would use again.29 May 2025
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

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.
