Key Solar Solar Reviews
We follow up with all reviewers after 12 months to see how their system is going since it was installed. These are all the reviewers who have responded to our 1 year follow up:
Shopped around and got so confused with sales pressure and what they wanted to sell. Best price was not the best product from other providers. Key solar made it easy with product and quality with NO jargon or cheap products. The key solar team on time very clean installation with prompt back up service highly recommend.

I have wanted to install some sort of solar system for years but got discouraged by the complexity of it all until I met a very satisfied acquaintance of mine who referred me to Key Solar. I was so impressed with the professionalism, friendliness, punctuality and no nonsense approach of this family team: from Caroline at the office who answered my questions almost before I send them .... to Jeff on site who patiently explain all to me right from the start. I am now enjoying a system that is performing beautifully and designed specifically for me. I love it. Thank you.

I would not hesitate to recommend Key Solar to anybody looking to invest in a Solar system. Jeff's expert knowledge and very honest advice was reassuring given some of the other providers we engaged to quote.

Right from the start Jeff from Key Solar was professional, on time, and knowledgeable on all aspects of installing a value for money Solar System. Any questions we had were answered with legitimate comparisons so we could choose the right system for our needs. The installation was no fuss neat and tidy and was completed without any problems. Everything about the process was explained clearly and easy to understand. We are excited about the prospect of significantly reducing our power bills going forward.

Firstly, I specifically requested that a salesperson visit my place to look at it. Jeff was the only one that did. I even rang one of his references who spoke volumes about this Team
Second, he turned off my existing Inverter. After explaining how it was costing me money. Instantly saving me $$
Third, his wife Caroline lead me to options for finance that I appreciated but didn't need
Fourth, their expertise guided me through every process. They were invaluable Show additional information

Our system is still very new and we are getting used to it but a huge thank you to Jeff and Carolyn for what certainly felt like good old fashioned service of a family owned business. Excellent follow up. Overall a very good experience for us who knew very little about a system but received comprehensive information in an easy-to-understand manner. Thank you!

I choose Key Solar because of the excellent level of knowledge the owner had of the systems.I wanted to go for the best quality not the cheapest panels and inverter to get the most out of the system.I got three quotes and Key Solar offered me the best options they did exactly what they said they would do and I would highly recommend them to other customers

The end to end process to have solar installed was a very enjoyable experience. Beginning with solarquotes.com.au and Finn's Team. Without using solarquotes.com.au, I doubt that we would have solar installed now as we had spent quite a lot of time reviewing emails from organisations advertising solar energy and did not have the confidence to start. solarquotes.com.au with a single point of information that took us on the journey to be at least well informed at a technical and economic level solved our issue of understanding exactly what was involved, where to start and knowing who to trust.
The concept of having 3 recommended / trusted companies to provide a quote (if they wished) was very good for us. Once we decided on Key Solar Pty Ltd as our preferred supplier, I must say the process was seamless. We are also very happy with the quality of the products recommended by Key Solar Pty Ltd and the quality of the install. I would have no hesitation recommending solarquotes.com.au or Key Solar Pty Ltd to any of our Family or Friends. Show additional information

Key Solar is a small company with outstanding customer service. We consider we received sound advice, a quality product and a trouble free installation.
Everything was done on time and in a most professional manner.
Early days yet, but so far electricity produced is exactly what we were told our system would be generating.

I had been considering Solar for years and had several quotes from other suppliers but was not at ease with the options or service. I contacted Jeff and Caroline at Key Solar after reading their customer feedback on Solar Quotes and was blown away by the level of service they provide. Jeff came out and talked to my wife and I and it was clear this was no salesman, but a true tradesman who was proud of his work and knew every aspect of the solar business. Jeff and his team do the installation personally and use only the top quality industry leading components. The job was done to an exceptional standard and every aspect of its operation was completely explained to me. The system has been running for just on a week now and it running beautifully. Thank you so much Jeff and Caroline.

We recently had a fault on on solar system and called Key Solar to have a look for us. They diagnosed a faulty inverter and advised it should be covered under warranty. The company we used for the installation had gone out of business so we were extremely worried that this may not actually be possible. Jeff & Caroline from Key Solar contacted the manufacturer and organised the warranty replacement for us. Even though their organisation is not the installer for these warranties, they still followed the whole process for us - right through to checking that we were happy at the end and our system was working correctly again.
We would highly recommend them for solar installations - they use quality equipment and offer fantastic service. Show additional information

Jeff and Caroline are an absolute pleasure to deal with. Jeff is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in the area, and goes above and beyond to give you the best system tailored for your home. System was also fully installed and functional within 2 weeks of receiving a quote. Would highly recommend talking to KeySolar before committing to another solar company.

Jeff from Key Solar gave us the best and most understandable advice compared to competitors. His experience and workmanship was excellent. Being able to find a company that really knew what solar is all about and to provide the highest quality product was essential to us obtaining solar. There are many out there that claim they have the best product but after a lot of research, we found that Key Solar was the most reputable and we highly recommend them.

I cant thank the Key Solar team enough - I had been considering solar for a while and was fairly confused as to what would suit my household and the fact that I work from home. After a quick discussion that answered all my questions the installation was booked and within two weeks it was all done. I hate Queensland summers, but this year I am now looking forward to having a nice cool summer knowing that my power consumption isn't going to cost me a fortune. Great service and I highly recommend Geoff, Caroline and the Key Solar team.

I don't usually believe testimonials but in this case I am genuinely happy to recommend Jeff and the KeySolar team to anyone considering the purchase of a solar system.

The 5KW system installed on 16/8/2016 is producing up to 38KW of power a day. An SMA 5KW Inverter with 23 Jinka panels was installed.
Jeff from Key Solar was chosen for doing the complete install and switchboard and wiring upgrade at a very competitive price.
It was not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for.
The process was completed very quickly with no fuss
I would recommend them again. Show additional information

Key Solar were always ready to answer my questions. Jeff is extremely knowledgeable and happy to demonstrate every detail of installation. Caroline, in administration, was most helpful with contacting the body corporate and answered all their queries and concerns. On the day of installation the team arrived on time, carried out the work in a timely manner and were most courteous and respectful. They even went the extra mile to fit anti bird devices on our roof ... This was actually not for the solar system. I would recommend Key Solar without hesitation.

From the onset Jeff was very knowledgeable about a range of options and best choices to suit our needs.

Initial contact with Caroline was informative, understanding and helpful. She is the office guru and will always be there for questions and replies to enquiries.
Jeff, the main man, is the Qualified Electrical Magician, along with his 2 trusted associates, Lucas and Adam. At installation they turned up on time at 7am, ready to start the day. All were super friendly and got on with the install.
Jeff went through what he was doing very clearly with the SMA 5kw Sunny Boy Inverter, (best on the market) and pointed out features, and recommended installation location. We chose inside the garage as this would help protect the inverter from the harsh weather during summer etc. (though it could have been installed outside too)
Lucas was the roofing expert along with Adam, prepared the roof and the 23 Jinko Tier 1 260w solar panels, and spent hours on the roof. The attention to detail, with correctly lining up the railings, installing the mounting brackets under/ out from the tiles, ensuring that they fitted flush, was expertly completed. They even repositioned an antenna to another location so that it did not give any shadow on the panels. The finished install from Jeff, Lucas and Adam was impeccable, and I truly recommend Key Solar.
5kw system, 23 panels all finished by 1.30pm. Attention to detail- excellent.
Currently, sunny days are producing easily over 30kWh, best so far 36.3kWh Not too bad at all
They are a local operation, do a great job, and are easy to contact. There is nothing better than to have the peace of mind knowing that if anything goes wrong, or questions, they will assist in person. As they are the supplier and installer, it's almost like the feeling of a professional insurance company ready to follow up, on call.
There are cheaper companies out there, but I believe in, you get what you pay for. And for me, that's quality workmanship, no 3rd parties involved and the comfort of knowing I can rely on Key Solar to be there, should any problems arise. Show additional information
