Heinz Solar Co Solar Reviews
Great people, work, price and quality.
Great company to deal with. Heinz and his boys were very friendly, polit and professional. It was a pleasure to have the do my install. Show additional informationStraightforward installation - no worries
Felt confident with choosing Heinz. After getting another cheaper quote they were able to drop their price a bit. What they installed was slightly different to what we were quoted due the panels being ceased in production. Haven’t actually used the system yet as waiting for the smart metre but it looks good in the roof, excellent installation team, very professional Show additional informationGreat local company
Liam was great to deal with. The installation process easy and straightforward. Highly recommend Heinz Solar Show additional informationExcellent Job
From the start to finish, Heinz Solar did a great job. The explanation from Heinz of the system, what we were getting, quality and price were all very good. The installation was carried out professionally, on time and all has been working as expected now for over 4 months. The whole system was ready to go from day one. All I had to do was change our electricity provider to take advantage of a good deal on the feed in tariff. I can fully recommend Heinz Solar to any future customers Show additional informationGreat company. Great installation.
Heinz had an efficient, pleasant installation crew.They supplied a high quality, well installed system. Show additional information

My wife and I were excited yet hesitant to when it came to buying solar, luckily we were visited by a friendly, local and professional sales manager from Heinz Solar. Within the week we had signed the contract for our new 6.6kW system and three weeks later our system was installed by the Heinz crew - who were very respectful and proficient.

I don't think I would deal with any other vendor. Very knowledgeable and practical and always available to assist and advise. The installer team were very impressive and very good to deal with. The installation was over 3 days in temperatures in excess of 38C. I cannot praise the company and its team more highly.

Heinz solar were the most knowledgeable company I dealt with. I liked the fact that the company were based locally, as were all the installers. We haven’t had the system connected as yet - waiting on smart meter, but they were great to deal with.

The Solar quote website has provided me with all the info to confidently choose the best quote/system from the 3 suppliers suggested.
All suppliers responded promptly.
Heinz Solar was chosen as the best option regarding price/quality/advise and response to questions and concerns.
The system is at this stage performing above expectation with the help of the added Fronius smart meter. Self consumption at this stage is around 70%.
Finn thanks for your excellent website and keep going.

Took some time to get OK from Essential Energy, six weeks from acceptance of quote to installation.
Installation was very fast & efficient, the workmen were excellent at their job, no delays, having previously had solar this was something of a revelation at the speed & workmanship.

I have selected a hybrid battery system to integrate with existing 1.5 installation. Expect installation to commence end of October. Will provide further feedback after the system has been in operation over one power bill, possibly February 2017.

They are a local company. I knew the salesperson and the price was extremely good. The reason for the improvement in price was well explained and the installation was swift and efficient.

We were very happy with the two quotations received. They were quite competitive and included data and information we needed to help make a decision. Both people were also very prompt in supplying answers to our questions clarifying aspects we were not sure about.
We have paid our deposit and now await the necessary approvals prior to installation.
We also told each person that we would pass on their names to any people we met who were also wanting to have advice and quotes to install panels. Show additional information

SAE took 3 weeks to respond to email request
Sometimes there is no issues for a dozen installs and all things that can go wrong go wrong with one install for some reason... Thank you for your patience Show additional information

There has been delays for Steve due to holidays, Essential Energy's ongoing portal problems, recent storms, and freight company loosing the order. We are truly sorry but it was out of our hand.Sometimes there is no issues for a dozen installs and all things that can go wrong go wrong with one install for some reason...

Thanks for the information from your site. Very helpful. I am a (retired) Technician, so possibly more picky than other PV consumers. I chose a superceeded Inverter (really cheap, but a reliable brand, Fronius). The Panels are Jinko, that I consider a better low cost option than buying Rolls Royce quality panels. Installed on Grace Racks. The main issues I picked up the installer on was that they did not protect the Earth wire correctly through the roof penetration (repaired), & I was extremely unhappy about the clamping of the interconnect conduit between the rows of panels on the roof: I would expect the conduit to be clamped to the racking using approved fixing methods. Initially the conduit was free floating (a fault if it was inspected). This was repaired by using metal cable ties to clip the conduit to the panels & racking. I am still not 100% happy, but it is satisfactory & safe.
I recommend that customers get a safety inspection by a 3rd party after installation because most consumers would not be aware of these safety issues.
One comment on my system: it is 13.5Kw of panels, 10Kw West facing, & 3.5Kw East facing. It is limited to 5Kw grid feed, but is averaging 40kWh/day in the middle of winter. This is returning better than bank (home loan) interest on my grid feed, with currently no self-consumption as building is under construction. When the building is finished, the Hot water will be heated by re-directed grid feed power (about 10KwH/day for 3 person use), & grid feed will be for excess over house immediate use. This PV system investment should repay in 4-5 years!
Doug is very well researched and we spend a great deal of time with him making sure he is happy with everything. We gave him and extremely competitive price for Tier one panels and Austrian inverter. He spent a great deal of time overseeing all steps of the process which was slowing things down. The 3 phase power supply was Doug's responsibility and we waited patiently for things being sorted out over a couple of weeks. Doug spoke with Fronius head tech guy a few times, Doug the installer and myself had meters of email exchange.
I gave Doug information well beyond anything neccesary under CEC guidelines.
Doug did not pay in full as agreed upon in our contract but in increments.
I would return his calls, emails and texts making sure he was happy and all was done to his complete satisfaction. The reason why his solar is going really well is because we did good job and he was provided with the best gear possible within budget. I think it is not fair for him to give low number on review. We do really care about our customers and bent backwards. Show additional information

Heinz was easy to deal with. Always answered my questions promptly and honestly. We were happy to go with a small local company

Hienz and his team were great. They explained options, rebates, how the system would be installed, and the pricing.
They scheduled the system installation very close to my making the deposit and the installation was completed
for a 100 panel system in one day. The team came prepared, had everything they required, and only required about
1/2 hour power outage to install the new meter. It was far smoother than I ever anticipated. I would clearly recommend Heinz Solar and his team
of installers any time. Craig Anderson, CEO of The Sunglass Fix Show additional information

There was a single incident in the whole process and Heinz was rapidly responsive and in fact he has at all times been very quick to answer my calls for information and assistance as much after as before installation. He goes out of his way to ensure a positive experience and I rate his involvement here very very highly indeed. I have no hesitation in recommending Heinz Solar for customer service and satisfaction at a very competitive price point as well. I will definitely give him the opportunity to offer his services when the time arrives to take my next step go fully off-grid.

The installation was completed in 2 weeks after I gave the go ahead.
I would recommend this company wholeheartedly. Show additional information

Heinz didn't measure the roof size for the system we selected. 2 panels poke up above the roof line, one panel could not fit on.

Roof was measured 3 weeks prior to install on roof by Jack Traynor the installer for customers. Customer asked for panels to be moved on day of install which changed the layout.Show additional information
A quality service from the first phone call right through to installation. Every question was answered in easy-to-understand detail, undertakings were met within the agreed timeframes, and the general customer attitude was outstanding.
Would highly recommend.

Sorry about the misunderstanding but system was operational on day of install and net meter was installed shortly after. Thank you for prompt payment. It was a pleasure to deal with you. Show additional information
Because of the degree of pitch of our roof the installers broke 2 roofing tiles when they slid off the roof. Fortunately we had 2 spare tiles and thankfully no more were broken in the installation! We understood that this was not due to a fault of the installers.
We were very impressed with the fellow, Jack, who was in charge of the installation.
