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

Excellent local solar company.
I would highly recommend G Solar to anyone considering installing solar panels and batteries.From the initial consultation, through site inspection, installation and follow up support the team were excellent.
Communication was great and the installation was done on time and on the day as arranged.
I’d definitely use G Solar again for installation on any future properties.
Thanks for the great workmanship.

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.
