Great System, Professional Experience
The quoting was done promptly and a number of options were provided. These options were modified as we discussed the system design.The installation was completed in a very short time frame and the workmanship was of a high standard.
Unfortunately I wasn't around at the time of the install, so I couldn't ask some of the system specific questions related to my particular site and these details have been a bit difficult to follow up with afterwards.

I had a great experience using Heinz Solar!
I am very happy with Heinz Solar. They came out and quoted quickly, they were competitive with their pricing and the installation was carried out in a very professional manner. The guys were all really nice people (all from the Byron area) and they didn't use any sub-contractors aside from the legend who dug the trench for our cable run.16 March 2020

Outstanding service and quality product
I am very happy with my solar installation through all steps of the process to quotation, installation and follow up.The sales rep, Liam, was such a nice fellow and extremely knowledgeable and professional. The installation team were also a bunch of nice guys and follow up has been great.
I can only say you’d be hard pressed to find a fairer company to deal with. Great product advice and service.

Straightforward 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 professional31 October 2019

Excellent 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 customersPanel rating: 5/5

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.Panel rating: 4/5

Original Review on 15-08-2017:
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.

The system has performed as predicted by Heinz Solar.Before installation paid approx $380/quarter.
After installation for the first two quarters have not paid anything to Essential Energy. Total credits with Essential Energy $236 credit on a 15 cent feedin plan.
3rd quarter looks similar.
Observe selfconsumptions rules and hotwater service on during daytime only. general 2 persons occupy the home.
Have recommended Heinz Solar to neighbours opposite who after comparing quotes installed their system. Happy sofar

The system is underperforming in my opinion. The system is connected to a 5.6 GCL battery which recharges very quickly. There is a small freezer and large fridge/freezer on use all night and these coupled with standby units throughout the house use all of the battery before 2am. This leaves the rest of the night and breakfast preparation equipment to draw power direct from the grid.I have only had one power bill since the full unit was connected and this showed a 75.78% reduction in use over same period last year, however this included 17 days when the system was not fully operaional. I expect this to be much less over the two winter quarters.
I will provide a full evaluation of the system in January 2018 after it has been operational for 12 months and I have received 4 quarterly accounts to compare with previous years.

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.

Yes, it has performed up to our expectations. This 6.5 kW system plus the much earlier 1.5 kW seem to be both performing well with no real problems. We are glad we made the move to use the free power from the sun to generate at least some of what we are generating on our roof.05 February 2017

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... Thank you for your patience

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!

Thank you Doug for your feedback.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.

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
