Fantastic service and communication.
From the first phone call, everyone we interacted with was attentive and respectful. The onsite visit allowed for us to ask questions, clarify our needs and determine the best configuration for what we wanted to achieve. There was no pressure during the process. The electronic quote system was clear and easy to use. The installers were punctual, organised, professional and polite. They communicated well and ensured we understood how the system operated and the app worked before they left. The installation was not invasive in any way. They were tidy and cleaned up after themselves.

6.6KW Solar System
Koala Solar came recommended to me by a friend and my experience with them has been flawless in every aspect from the initial advice on the most appropriate system for my home to the installation and advice on operation/monitoring of the system.Koala have taken all the hassle out of the solar installation for me and I'm more than happy with the quality of my new system and quality of the installation. The installation was completed within a few hours and the team engaged with me throughout and answered any questions I had.
I will not hesitate to engage Koala again for any upgrade to my system in future.

Reliable and Good Customer Service
We were put in touch with Koala Solar through the recommendation of SolarQuotes. Adam came out to our place to give us a quote. We found him to be knowledgeable and reliable. The system he recommended for us fitted our needs and preferences. We had some questions subsequent to his visit, and he proved to be very responsive to all our questions and concerns. Although the wait to have the system installed took a little time, the staff at Solar kept us well informed all through the process. On the day of the installation, the technicians turned up on time and were extremely polite and friendly. We are happy with their service attitude.14 April 2025

A family run business that provided exceptional, personable service.
From my first contact with Koala Solar, I felt confident I was finally getting the right information about solar energy. Before that, I had been overwhelmed by varying details and prices from other sources. Koala Solar took the time to explain a suitable option, along with two variants at different price points. When I called back later for clarification, they patiently and thoroughly explained everything, helping me make an informed decision.The installation process was outstanding. Koala Solar arrived on time, as promised, and took the time to walk me through the entire system. The work area was left spotless, and the installers were punctual, polite, and tidy.
It's refreshing to work with a local, family-run business that offers excellent service.

Excellent experience with koala solar
This week koala solar installed our new solar system and we couldn’t be happier!From the moment we first contacted koala solar and asked them to come out to look at our roof structure and discuss positioning of the battery and inverter, which they did (something that other installers either won’t do or winge about doing!) through to the actual day of installation, we were impressed! Nothing was too difficult and the team worked professionally and courteously and left our house clean and tidy.
We both love the app that goes with the installation and being able to watch a live data feed of how much power the panels are generating into our house, battery and grid.
Well done guys. A great local WA family run business. We would not hesitate recommending this company.

"A-grade" quality Perth installer in every aspect from sales to installation
Quoting process: Took the time to listen and provide the information I needed to make a decision. Being an engineer I had a lot of questions. No pushiness, over specifying or over selling. In fact recommended I not used certain elements or components and the reason why.Installation: Got me an early install day much to my delight. Installers were punctual, polite, informative, and tidy.
Customer Service: Took control of everything and made the job easy for me. Answered my ongoing questions right up to install. All grid connection and paperwork was taken care of.
Things I felt I needed to do prior: I ensured the roof tiles were cleaned prior ready to be covered by the panels. I ensured I had spare tiles on hand to deal with any breakages. I eradicated some wasp nests so the installers wouldn't be confronted on the day of install. I checked for any potential shadowing that might occur where the panels were planned to go. Found a TV antenna that might potentially cause shadowing, but that was not problem, the installed adapted in ensured the positioning took those issues into account.

Fast, efficient and great communicators
From start to finish, Koala Solar were ahead of the compeition. In particular was the way in which they communicated. I must apologiese for the number of emails, messages and calls I made, but Adam put me at ease with each question I fired over.On the day of the install, they were solid, courtious and done quicker than I expected. I am now watching our usage on the app and loving every second.
I look forward to engaging them again once we buy and EV and need a charger installed.

Very efficient, friendly and competent team.
Received a phone call the same day I was referred by Solarquotes. Sean listened to my needs and submitted two formal quotation the same day. Their price was very competitive and they follow a simple "sign a contract commitment" with full payment on job completion. Bree kept me informed on progress and did all the liaison with the energy suppliers. The installation team arrived on the date agreed 6 weeks before and was very professional and efficient. I am a very satisfied customer.23 December 2024

Fantastic Perth-based installed...highly recommended!
The guys from Koala Solar arrived promptly and on time, were very friendly to deal with, were very helpful explaining everything (I had a few stupid questions!), were tidy and super efficient and finished the entire install of the 15 JA panels, Fronius inverter and a Tesla EV charger in under 3 hours.They even swept up the garage for me...bonus!!
Koala Solar are a fantastic company to get your solar through in Perth...highly recommended :)
Yay. Free power
The installers were on time, polite and able to answer all my questions. They explained the system and the app and waited until I was comfortable with it all. The installation went well and all looks good. Bring on the free power.
