Koala Solar, a family orientated business, started operating in 2012 under the ownership of Western Australian locals with years of experience in the electrical and solar industry. The company was built as an extension of their then existing company “Line-Tech Energy EC11654”. However, after completing over countless solar power system installations as a sub-contractor and being involved in both domestic and commercial electrical work associated within the Western Power Low Voltage Distribution Network – expanding into the solar industry was a natural step forward. Therefore, in January 2015 Koala Solar was born.
Koala Solar Solar Reviews
Easy Install
Easy Install. No problems at all. They arrived on time and completed the work, with minimal fuss and no mess. Show additional informationGood supplier choice!
Everything went well from start to finish with Koala Solar. My system was installed today! When he came to quote Adam was punctual, courteous and friendly. He explained everything in layman's terms so that I could properly understand the process and didn't mind when I asked him to repeat things.The two installation men were actually about 40 minutes early. They too were friendly and courteous and explained what they were doing. Show additional information
Great customer service
Koala Group were great to deal with. The installers were on time and very polite and helpful. I would definitely recommend. Show additional informationProfessional, tidy and quick
I was most impressed with the guys from Koala Solar who came out yesterday to install my solar power system. It was a very hot day and I know their previous job was difficult.They were very professional and tidy in their work which they completed quickly and with minimal disruption to my partner and me.
I will not hesitate to recommend Koala Solar to any of my friends who may also be considering the installation of a solar power system. Show additional information
Exceeding Expectations
Sales, Communication and Installation was excellent. With quote we received an 8 page file with all information about the system including photo of our roof showing panel location, it also included a financial and environmental analysis and an estimated average daily production per month. I am also able to monitor the system from my computer or phone. Two months in and to my surprise we are exceeding the production estimate.September Est 26 kWh actual 28.4 kWh,
October Est 34 kWh actual 37.2 kWh.
Could not be happier, would definitely recommend. Show additional information
Great price, service and minimal disruption during installation
Offered a range of options me based on quality and price points for inverter and panels. I went with a high quality inverter and mid range panels. Communication at all times was prompt and professional. The approval, booking and installation went smoothly. Koala took care of all the documentation for western power. Great experience and highly recommended supplier. Show additional informationThrilled to pieces so far!
After 3 years of indecision, and with Covid-19 enabling me to work from home I finally made the decision. After consultation with 4 other companies I believe I've chosen wisely.The in home quotation was appreciated and afterwards written queries from myself were replied to, immediately.
One month was spent waiting in anticipation for the install but the installation team were on time, very polite, helpful and cleaned up well afterwards.
After just one a week since the system has been installed and based on the ($495 optional extra) smart meter's Solar.web app (which I do recommend) I am extremely pleased with the systems KWh generation plus the grid connection has been taken care of by Kolar Solar too.
All in all and so far I am thrilled to pieces with Koala Solar and my new solar system.
Thanks heaps Kolar Solar! Show additional information
Great Company
Our first contact with Koala Solar was through Adam who made a site visit and listened to our requirements. From there he made suggestions regarding size of system, location options and equipment choice, resulting in a quality system at a good price.The installation team arrived as scheduled, evaluated the tasks in order of priority including removal of the existing 10 year old system. Alex, Jacob and John knew their jobs and were extremely efficient and worked together as a very effective team.
We could not have asked for a better group with all the grid connections and necessary regulatory paper work completed for us. Show additional information
Friendly and very honest
From first contact with Bri and Kristie in the office to the job being completed was probably the best service and experience Ive ever had. Adam came out to give me a quote and was very friendly and honest and didnt pressure me on the day to sign up. The whole installation was completed by 3pm which included 6.6kw solar system, Senec battery, heat pump HWS and 11 roller shutters. No mess left behind. When the guys had finished they ran though everything with me and it turned out the two electricians installing it were the owners themselves.A huge thankyou to Stuart and Cory for the work they did and how professional and honest they run their company.
Many thanks

A quality system at a fair price.
The roof was checked on site by the salesman. He explained in detail the best possible array for my non north facing roof, and what I could expect to generate. There was no high pressure to make a decision on the day. No deposit was requested. The quote included removal of a 10yr old 1kw system and they did the necessary paper work for the upgraded system for the grid connection.. The job was done on time, they were an efficient team of three, and the inverter was neatly installed in the garage. I received the govt. discount on the panels. The wifi connection was installed and explained, and they also registered the warranty with Fronius.Fronius Primo 5kw Inverter 20x330 Jinko Mono Perc Panels. Show additional information
Fast and efficient installation
Sales manager was friendly and knowledgable. He understood that because of my age (75) I wasn't overly concerned about the warranty periods.The installation was within 3 weeks. Thunderstorms were forecast for the day of installation. The team arrived bang on time, were efficient, fast and tidy. We had a small storm 30 minutes after they finished. They handled the grid connection and our power was off for less than 30 minutes. I had trouble connection to the inverter by wifi but the sales manager came back and helped me.

First Class Job
From the earliest contact through to final installation, Koala Solar have been professional, competitive and and above all trustworthy in delivering what they quoted on with no surprises for me despite a difficult 2-storey, 40 degree pitch roof installation. Highly recommended installer. Show additional informationCompetitive price, professional staff, stress free experience!
I highly recommend the Team at Koala Solar. It took less than 2 weeks to get a quote, then discuss and install a system that now pumps out over 5000 watts for most of the day! The very knowledgeable and efficient staff took care of everything, took pride in their work and were a pleasure to deal with. Very impressed????

Waiting for my first bill Show additional information
The installation was on time, done with no fuss at all and very efficiently. All mess was cleaned up and taken away. Dylan and Jayden did a great job and were extremely professional.
I look forward to passing on my experience from Koala Solar to all I come across asking about Solar systems. Show additional information
We decided to go for the 6.6KW Systems with Fronius Inverter and Seraphim Solar Panel, the price is affordable.
Koala Solar scheduled the date and time for the installation and the two electricians came into our home on time and its the day they promised to install the Solar Panel. By midday afternoon its all done, up and running. The two electricians is very polite and they clean all the mess as well. Once its all done they give us a run down and explain slowly how its worked.
The administration manager in the office is well organise, she send me all the WIFI setup, warranty, etc in no time after the installation completed and I emailed her regarding how to setup the WIFI Tariff and in no time she replied straight away.
I really recommend Koala Solar to everyone. In term of Price, Quality, and Service. Show additional information
A neighbour recommended Koala Solar saying they were highly impressed.
I went for 20 Lg Neon2 330kw panels in configuration that had half the panels facing North and half the panels facing west. The inverter is a Ferocious Primo 5 (a little noisy but within the db rating for the unit). So far from the system from July 2018 to end of Jan 2019 I am averaging 32Kwh per day. I appear to get a peak of 5044Kwh.
In regard to installation I did get some issues, due to a breakdown in communication between the agent/operations manager and the team that came to instal, as the agent was away at the time of installation. As such I asked for the team to leave and waited for the agent operations manager to return. Once this person was back in town a week later the issue was resolved straight away. The panels went on in no time and the team were very professional in their approach. Show additional information
Responsive, polite, and tidy.
Pragmatic and a positive, can do approach. Show additional information
The installers were on time( actually arrived early), explained how they were going to install etc and cleaned up completely after completing the job.
It was a very positive experience for me, they were also able to do the installation within a few days of me placing the order.
I am doing this review as I believe when we get an excellent service we need to tell others.
So I would highly recommend this company to anyone! Show additional information
Of the companies that you recommended, one was not able to install the system until the new year, the second was a little more expensive and the third did not quote.
Regardless, I appreciated very much and i am thankful with the advice available on your web site which gave me a very good understanding of the relevant issues i had to consider in selecting my solar power system. Show additional information

The customer service from start to finish was A1. We went with Koala Solar not only for their service but the products and choices they had to offer and the price was just the icing on the cake. Stewart and his team are very experienced and are also the solar installers/electricians, so no waiting around. They arrived when they said they would and left 4 hours later with the panels up, inverter working and job sight cleaned. After years of getting quotes from other solar companies and listening to the stories and the tactics they use to try and sell you their products, it was good to find a company that listened to our needs and didn't try to sell us something we didn't need. Very happy indeed ???? Show additional information
