Generate Energy Solar Reviews
Beautiful install
John was great during the quoting process. The installers were polite and tidy. Overall customer service was fantastic. The installers also did help organise the grid connection after the install. Show additional informationBig thanks to the Generate Energy for the LG and Fronius solar installation.
Daniel and his team have timely and nicely installed the solar system with the proper explanation and cleared all doubts. LG 360W NeON 2 panels and Fronius inverter work well during the whole day. Show additional informationVery happy overall.
Quoting and site visit by John was great - friendly, not pushy or trying to push a sale. They offered us a custom solution to suit our unusual roof size limits and orientation.Installers were friendly, work looks good, especially on a very rainy day. Although they did smoke on-site which was unpleasant.
One of the panels was cracked from the warehouse/transport, but they showed me, installed and turned on the rest and arranged for the replacement to be done at a later date. No invoice was sent until after all the panels were installed and operating. Very well handled.
Follow-up has been good. Very happy overall. Show additional information
Super efficient installers
The quoting was quick factual and honest backed with good answers to my queries. The install was on time super efficient and finished in 4 hour's on 2 story house. The following paperwork by the office staff was also completed quickly with their polite help. Any assistance with the Web site was also no problem from them. Overall my experience with generate Energy was very good. Show additional informationQuality installer.
I was impressed with Generate Energy. They took the time to work through a reasonably complicated quote for me ( I wanted battery backup + generator fail over) producing design diagrams and supplying system specs.The installation team was thorough and took the time to neatly square the panels and do tidy wiring.

Great customer service and we can highly recommended.
A very professional and honest quotation, with all of the information and considerations being put on the table for us to consider and make a well informed decision suiting our personal circumstances. No hidden agendas pushing any specific brand or to make the sale.The installation was just as professional and we were well informed along the way. Brilliant customer service. We only had to make personal choices on the product, while the rest of the process was handled by Generate Energy. Effortless!! Thank you guys for a great customer experience.

The quotes from the companies you recommended were honest and competitive , but in the end I went with GenR8 Energy because I got an extra sweetener for my son who had used them for his Solar system. Show additional informationbeautiful installation
The sales and quoting process went very well, the installation is also polite and punctual. John's customer service is fantastic, he came to my home twice to clarify my confusion, he is very patient and professional in answering all types of questions from me. Show additional informationGreat communication, planning and installation
Recently had a 10.35kW system installed and very happy with the whole process. Excellent communication from the commencement of the process through to the commissioning. All the guys doing the installation kept me informed on on what was happening and discussed any details as the installation proceeded. System was at a very competitive price. They coordinated the SA Power networks and Origin smart meter install so that the grid connectionall went smoothly. Happy to recommend to others. Show additional informationHassle free process
Excellent service, staff extremely helpful. Fronius inverter installed in garage at my request - fan runs continuously and is noisy, should have been recommended different brand inverter Show additional information

6.6Kw Micro inverter integrated with existing 3.5kw
Installed 6.6Kw 350w neon 2 panels with emphase micros, integrated with existing 3.5kw system via envoy and balanced across 3 phases with import/export CTs for both systems. Show additional information
The delay in installation is because we are all waiting for SA Power, as SA Power has insisted that my old dial meter be relocated from inside the home to outside at the same time that my retailer swops a smart meter.
Also, the quotes from installers to upgrade the meter box inside to become a sub-meter box, move the meter location to an outside box, and add an isolator was mystifying. Comparing apples to apples, quotes were $450 complete to $600 to $2500 to $4000. The solar installation quote I finally accepted included this work at $600. Show additional information

Quality system offered. Exceptional customer service
The system hasn’t been installed yet as it’s part of a new build, so I’ll update once that occurs.Customer service to this point has been nothing short of exceptional. I did a lot of research prior to settling on a system design, so knew roughly what I wanted (size, brands etc). John offered advice and guidance where needed, but unlike many other companies actually listened to my requirements. Refinement of quotes and quoting alternative options was no trouble and the turnaround was very good. The system offered is high quality and at a very competitive price.
Can’t wait for it to be installed. Show additional information
Fantastic to deal with. Perfect installation. Happy to work with me to deliver the system that I wanted.
The team at Generate Energy were excellent to deal with. I had done my homework via the information at SolarQuotes and had already decided what I wanted before getting my quotes. Generate Energy were very open to listening to me and delivering the system that I wanted, rather than pushing a certain type/brand of inverter or panel. We tried several alternative panel size options (including 72 cell panels) for my roof before settling on the final system design. They were polite, punctual and very clever installers. They managed to fit the Enphase hardware into my existing meter box and so the installation is very discreet. It not only operates exactly as expected, it is a thing of beauty (to me anyway). I was very fortunate to have a home with 3-phase supply and was able to push beyond the 5kW inverter limit. Show additional informationQuality service and products
After a magnitude of quotes, Generate Energy's overall service and approach won out in the end. Instead of accepting quotes over the phone and a nearmaps picture with proposed panel layout, Generate were quite happy to attend, twice in fact, to firm up any last minute queries . After working with us waiting on a new roof to be installed installation came as promised. Top group of guys who discussed all aspects of the install and completed without fuss to our needs (asthetics). Athough a small misshap occurred with a foot stepping in the wrong place in the roof space, I was left with 100% assurance of the damage being rectified. Great company, great products and great service! Show additional informationGreat installation by Generate Energy
John from GE was very helpful in providing a detailed and accurate quote for my home. GE waited patiently while I had the switch box upgraded to the current standard and a new smart meter installed, which took months - nothing to do with them.When the day arrived we had a review/discussion at the start of the day about the installation and apart from an occasional question on where i would prefer certain parts of the install to go, they worked all day installing the LG/Enphase solar system. At about 4 pm the switch was turned on and all worked well, and has worked well since then.
Many thanks GE. Show additional information
The system has not been installed yet. Daniel has been very helpful in discussions as to the best system to install. He has also visited the site to confirm sire location and measurements.
The rating for the quality of the system has been partly determined by the information you have provided, and also by first hand experience of a family member's system.
Congratulations to you Finn for the valuable information you provide to guide us through the solar maze.

Efficient, informative and friendly Installation
From quoting to installation and after sales service the process was very satisfying . Installers attended as planned and Team worked efficiently and coordinated with time to explain set up. Show additional informationDid exactly what they promised
Installed 14 x LG 365W panels and LG RESU10h battery with Solar Edge hybrid inverter.Everything went to plan except a minor issue with Wi-Fi communications to the inverter, which is not essential for operation it's just for monitoring, which was sorted out a few days after installation. Everything else, so the solar panels, battery and inverter, was fully operational on the day of installation.
All paperwork was arranged efficiently including the SA government battery rebate and electricity meter changeover.
A neat installation job noting that limited space is available on the roof and also where the inverter and battery are located. So everything needed to be tightly fitted in which they did without problems. I would have chosen the 335 W panels and used more of them if not for the space issue - the 365 W are considerably more expensive but there was simply no option to install additional panels due to space so I went for the biggest ones.
No complaints at all. Show additional information
Great people to deal with. Good after sales service. Excellent system.

From the first contact in getting a quote they were very professional from the sale's person (John) to answering any questions that I asked him and the rest of the team invloved. The installers all introduced themselves and were very professional in installing the Solar panels and inverter and were able to answer any questions that I asked them. The company at all levels were very good.

It was a pleasure to do business with Generate, from the first phone call, the numerous questions that I had, the follow ups, the site meet, the approvals and to the install. Thanks to all your team. I would definitely recommend you to anyone that I know that would be contemplating going down the solar path.

Our experience with this company has been excellent. The initial service from Daniel was great - he explained things clearly, didn't pressure us in any way and called back when he said he would.
The installation was booked in promptly and the installers were professional and efficient. Minh was particularly easy to work with and dedicated to ensuring we had had a positive experience. We had an issue with our inverter not connecting to our wifi but were able to rectify that quite easily with our internet provided. We also found an electrical fault during the installation. Minh returned the day after to check the issue and provide advice about how it should be resolved (the issue was already present before the installation, unbeknownst to us).
I would recommend gnr8nrg highly for service, timeliness and price. Show additional information

Highly organized, knowledgeable, dependable, professional, courteous. Pleasure to deal with the Generate Energy (GNR8NRG) company, in December 18- January 2019. Excellent service provided. Thank you.

This company didn't just try to sell us a solar/battery system. Instead, they tailored a set up to suit our individual needs. We found other companies were reluctant to do this. The team at GNR8NRG were great to deal with. Highly recommended.

Installed 15 panels over three different roofing sections, 2 with high angle of slope. The installers were professional in their dealings with me and did an excellent job of the install. The system has been working successfully since installation and my first bill since the install was in fact a credit to my account. I can monitor to generation of the system and each panel using the solar edge (inverter) website. I can also download data from the website. Over the next year I should have collected sufficient information to assist me in calculating the cost/benefit of installing a battery.

By far, Generate Energy showed the most professionalism compared to the other installers I contacted. Daniel and his team, from the very beginning has been fantastic in answering my questions about the products they offered. I was very particular on what panels I wanted installed at my house. Daniel encouraged me to come into their shop to view the panels and inverters on offer to see them up close and get a better understanding of what they were selling. I ended up choosing LG 320W NeON2 All Black Solar Panels, SolarEdge Optimisers (P370) for each panel and SolarEdge 5kW HD Wave Inverter. The pure black panels are elegant, beautiful and aesthetically pleasing to see on my house.
They have been in the industry for a long time, giving me the reassurance that I needed. I highly recommend them. Show additional information

Supplier and its personnel were quite helpful and gave me comparison data of various solar equipment in Australia. Recommended the top of the line and equipment was readily available from them and then installed within 2 days after payment and was installed before the Xmas season. I have been using the solar system and I love it... Great effort to the supportive team all working together to provide a positive customer experience.

The installation team were very efficient and professional.
Just one little gripe. Brick dust and moss from tiles were left behind. A blower vac would have made short work of them.
Jen in the office was very professional. However, she was hampered by the fact that the office emails were not being sent over a period of a week, which may have delayed the installation of the smart meter. However, the meter was put in earlier than expected so there was no hassle as it turned out. Show additional information

As an electrician myself, we really shopped around when it came to solar. I found many other companies simply did not have the technical knowledge required to answer my queries. Daniel was very patient with me and his product knowledge was far superior - The installation team were super friendly and helpful. Our 3 string installation was staggered over two periods and we did have an issue, however this was immediately resolved which to me is a good sign of a company that's really committed serving it's customers. I would highly recommend Gnr8Nrg to anyone looking for a quality system installed by quality technicians.

Thanks to Solar Quotes we became more knowledgeable about solar and chose accordingly.

Jarrod was incredibly helpful and patient during the quoting process, and produced a system that more than met my requirements. As a result of the time that he spent I've now got a system that will generate enough power, will work in power cuts, and has a good sized and expandable battery system.
Even though the product was higher spec or with better warranties than some of the other quotes I received via this website or elsewhere, the price was not proportionately more expensive, and was actually cheaper than some of the quotes I received for lesser systems. The install was done without mess, and despite the house itself being a bit challenging for them at times they didn't complain.

We were told about solar quotes by a friend which greatly simplified the process. Through that service three contacts were provided that resulted in three quotes, all suitable, for three material and configuration options that arrived within 24 hours with enough information needed to ask any questions that needed to be asked and to then make an informed decision. None of the installers were pushy which was appreciated. We went with Generate Energy and their LG Fronius system - not the cheapest of options but to satisfy our power requirements based on past electricity bills their 330kW LG panels provided the maximum power at an affordable price for our restricted roof area. Installation of the 12 panels (6 facing east, 6 facing west) was easily completed without fuss in a single day. After another few weeks the energy provider installed a smart meter to allow export of excess power. The service provided by Generate Energy at all stages was excellent.
