G-Solar excel!
This whole process was so efficient. I called having seen their Facebook ad, they sent Dean the next day. Very competitive quote and the installation was within that month. That went smoothly. Customer service follow up has been brilliant. Really do recommend this company in every way.Panel rating: 5/5

Great company to work with.
From the initial contact with G-Solar to the final sign-off we were kept informed of each step in the process. The old system was removed and the new one installed on the day assigned, and the installers were done within a few hours.We were very impressed with the professionalism and speed of the installation. An issue with the wireless dongle was sorted within a few days. I would recommend G-Solar and Electrical to anyone wanting to install/upgrade their rooftop solar.

Very Professional and Knowledgeable
The service provided by the whole G-Solar & Electrical team has been exceptional, from the first contact and through the whole process. Their professionalism in every area – customer service, timely communication, and an easy to understand, informative quotation, has been outstanding. The installation team worked well together and clearly explained the operation of the products after installation. The bonus being their work was extremely neat and tidy, and they left the work areas spotless!We would not have any hesitation in highly recommending the G-Solar team. It is great to be able to recommend a truly local and professional business.

Port Douglas Community Hall Solar
The whole process ran smoothly. The pricing was competitive and the install process ran smoothly with the contractor fitting in with Council's availability. The web page works well and Council is looking forward to the cost savings.19 October 2024
G Solar Review
The team at G Solar were excellent to deal with at all stages from initial visit and then quote to final installation. I had to have some roof work done before installation and they were more than willing to be flexible on the job. The system they installed looks very neat and tidy and I would have no problem recommending them to anyone else.Lee

Service oriented and Local
Amazing to see the owner of the business, Grant, is the first face to face contact.I was absent during the installation, but Brendan stayed in contact.
A fault with the monitoring system was picked up by Brendan, which he resolved with Sungrow in a short space of time. System is now operating normally and the battery is providing power all night long. The office staff were very professional and reacted to any queries I had in a timely manner. Well done to all. Highly recommended

Excellent Service
From the start of the initial visit to look at my residence to the completion handover by the installer G-Solar were very professional and friendly. The notification process of personnel arriving was possibly one of the better I have dealt with.The quoting process was easy with detailed information provided on the 3 levels of install you could receive. There was constant communication on any concerns I might have had.
The installers were very professional, and tidy with the area left clean.
The handover after the install was great with the installer explaining the details of what to expect and what might happen if something was not quite right.
I can say we are pretty happy with the process.

How easy was that!!!
Right from the outset GSolar were so easy to deal with. They explained every step and nothing was a problem. The installation was smooth with no problems and the system is running perfectly.They even handled Ergon!
I recommend you give them a call if you are considering new solar, solar upgrades or going off grid.

PETE'S 8KW FRONIUS AND TRINA SOLAR SYSTEM
I DID VISIT G-SOLAR TO DISCUSS THE LOCATION OF PANELS ON MY ROOF AND HOW MANY I WOULD NEED FOR AN 8KW SYSTEM. I FOUND THE STAFF TO BE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND HELPFUL. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE VERY DETAILED INFORMATION EMAILED TO ME PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.THE INSTALL WENT SUPER WELL AND THE GUYS WERE VERY PUNCTUAL AND POLITE AND TIDIED UP WHEN THEY LEFT. THE INSTALL IS VERY NEAT AND THEY FINISHED THE JOB ON TIME.
THE SOLAR SYSTEM IS WORKING BETTER THAN I EXPECTED. I AM VERY HAPPY. THANK YOU.

High Level Customer Service and Installation
We contacted G-Solar and received a quotation and explanation in good time. The technicians were on time and a pleasure to have at our property. G-Solar organised the energy connection detail and the technicians helped through the process of installing and understanding the app and its features.

Very happy with our solar system installed by G Solar and Electrical Cairns
Grant and his team are very professional and reliable. The quoting process was easy and Grant did it himself. He didn't oversell anything to us, and was helpful with information and explains everything well. The installation team were prompt, professional and cleaned up everything after them! Customer service from this company is very professional and reliable. They deserve this review for the standard of service the entire team provides.23 July 2024
Easy solar process
Grant was great to deal with. Quick to respond for an inspection and answered all the questions.The product works great so far, and the installation looks very professional.
The tradesman was a bit rude on installation day, definitely not the same professionalism as Grant.
Overall a happy customer.

Quick and easy process, quality product
Thank you G-Solar! Great customer service, the whole process was easy and staff were polite, punctual and professional. Throughout the sales process, staff clearly explained the options and matched to a system to suit my needs. After installation the staff showed me how all the settings worked and helped me to access the app to track power production and consumption which has been a game changer. I also opted for the PV point so that I will have still be able to plug in a fridge or charge phones if the power goes out, and the guys also updated my electrical switches for 40% less than the price that I was quoted by an electrician (I even had an electrician look in the power box and say 'this is the nicest power board I've seen' lol). I'm very happy with the system installed and appreciate the after call service to ensure that I was happy with the installation and to answer any questions that I had. Very happy to recommend G-Solar to people looking at installing solar, especially being a local business. Thanks again!Panel rating: 5/5

People, G-solar is the way to go. I highly recommend this local business if you need solar done.. Very efficient with time from start to finish, clean installation, well done to the Boys..25 June 2024
G Solar ..a professional/trustworthy outfit
G-Solar was recommended to me by a TAFE plumber teacher friend who had used them to install a solar system at his own home & who was very happy with the work carried out & the system installed. I too in turn am now delighted with my new 6.6 KW solar system, Fronius inverter & Trima panels. G-Solar were excellent in regards to their clear & informative communications with me from the Initial inspection on site at my home to the installation day & making sure everything was working perfectly & explaining all that i needed to know. G Solar made it a total breeze for me.What I also appreciated was thst they didn't do an over sell, not at one time did I feel pressure to purchase any additional equipment./add ons .but I did choose to pay extra to have my dodgy old switchboard with old ceramic fuses upgraded to a modern safer one which I'm so pleased I did! I highly recommend G-Solar .a local & very professional company with trust worthy great staff , offering quality systems at an affordable fair price.. so glad I went with them!21 June 2024

A great job from start to finish
I recently had G-Solar install a solar system at my house, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, their team was courteous and professional. They did an excellent job, ensuring that the installation was neat and efficient. The final product exceeded my expectations, and I'm very happy with the savings I'm already experiencing. I highly recommend G-Solar for anyone considering solar solutions!
Excellent local company
What a pleasure to support this local business. From our first meeting with Grant to the follow up calls and confirmation, it was always done in such a friendly and professional manner. The team on the day were excellent, working in very hot conditions, and were so accommodating. We could not recommendG-Solar highly enough.
