Great experience

We chose Kodi because we felt they offered the best mix of quality and value for us. The installation proceeded quickly and everything went very smoothly. The works were done over several days due to some bad weather limiting roof access but interior works were completed when the weather was poor. There were a few days delay between the physical installation and completion while some commissioning configuration issues between our 2 inverters were worked through with suppliers. All of the grid connection work was managed by Kodi and was seamless. The system is working great and we are very satisfied by the overall experience. The whole Kodi team were very competent and a pleasure to deal with. Original ratings

10 months later we asked Daniel: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"

1 year later and everything is working perfectly. We have had no need to call the installer since everything is working hard as it should. We are still happy with our choice of installer and components.

Where are you??

Very sleek sales presentation. Average installation. Recently received a non conformation letter from electrical authority. Where is Kobi Energy? Closed apparently. Doubt they will honour the recall.

Fantastic installer

I was extremely pleased with the whole installation process. The installers arrived promptly at the time set and worked efficiently and the process was completed quickly. Emma in the office was fantastic and helped me try and sort out the issues with my electricity retailers. Jack the electrician took time to explain how the apps etc all worked. Overall I am extremely happy with the whole product and would definitely recommend Kobi Energy Solutions Original ratings

10 months later we asked Barbara: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"

I have been very happy with how the system performed except that I had issues with "voltage overload" going into the grid. In those periods even though the weather was brilliant sunshine, my system would shut off and I would have to "buy power" from the grid if eg I wanted to boil a kettle of water which was ridiculous and very frustrating. It took a long while for people to apparently believe that there was a problem but it is finally in the process of being hopefully rectified.
Sadly Kobi Energy Solutions is no longer in existance which means that I now have to look elsewhere to find someone that will service and maintain my system

System has performed very well. Costs are significantly lower!

Great price for the hardware, terrible support/ customer service.

Absolute nightmare to deal with. Right from day one of the installation, I was told numerous lies as to why my system wasn't performing. Starting with this crack up, that the panels have come from the other side of the world and so they need time to bed in, hah! They then proceeded to get angry and abusive over the phone when I went directly to Fronius support to check in on the system directly after months of Kobi not bothering.

Long story short, after more than 2 years of losing over 30% of my production through summer due to a blown string fuse on a paralleled array inside the inverter I finally got a competent electrician to diagnose the issue and order the right size string fuse with a new larger holder (40amp) as the paralleled panels on MPPT1 would frequently get to 33amps in summer and obviously blow the fuse.

Kobis only solution during that 2 year period was to come out and replace the fuse with another 30amp one, after weeks of me basically begging for them via phone and email to even recognize that there is actually a fault. (We can't control the sun mate!)

Anyways, long story short, if they're even still in business - AVOID.

After all this time my system is now finally fixed and working correctly, I can't fault the hardware and the install by their third party electricians was fine too - I just wouldn't ever want to deal with them again, in fact I'd pay extra not to.

Great experience.

Received three quotes from very insightful electrical contractors recommended by Solarquotes. Went with Kobi who provided the excellent quality panels and inverter for the best price. Installation went really well and without any hitches. The whole experience was great and made easier by Solarquotes website and recommended panels and inverters. Not discounting the effort made by the unsuccessful contractors either.
Unfortunately due to being completed so close to the Christmas holiday period our Energy provider has not configured our meter.

8 months later we asked Steve : "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"

Yes, the system itself has been fantastic. Unfortunately the quoted Feed in tariffs have been slashed (no control or blame upon the Solar provider) by the Electricity providers. They cry and whinge its so difficult to deal with the solar power coming into the grid yet the Governments keep encouraging you to go solar. The Electricity providers just have to get with times...Bloody sooks! Next step...battery....and tell the Electricity providers 'Bye bye'. Cheers

Professional service

The process, communication and connection of solar to our residence by Kobi was of a high quality. Quotes and installation were timely. Connection to the grid has just occurred. Questions were answered clearly and the information passed on was integral to our decision to support this company.

Efficient and quick installation

Kobi were efficient and quick. The system was delivered and installed over 2 days and no mess was left at the end. Customer service was good, they showed us how to install and used the monitoring app. In the year since we had the system installed we went from having bills of around $600 a quarter to being in credit for some of the bills.

Solar install review

Both Kobi staff and installation personnel were polite, and professional, would happily recommend them.

Detailed and helpful throughout the whole process

Luke from Kobi Energy was fantastic in working with me to understand and clarify what I wanted, adding ideas and identifying potential problems. I appreciated the time he spent working on the design and various iterations to maximise the output from my limited roof space. The quote was straightforward and Kobi was happy to provide additional details I asked for.

The installers - Dylan, Pete and Mason - were professional, accommodating, kept me informed, and were considerate of me and my partner as we work from home.

Service and support was very prompt. Emma made sure that everything was in place from start to finish of the installation.

Great Service

Luke from Kobi was very informative when visiting for our quote. Top quality equipment was what we wanted and information was clearly supplied. Kobi's installation team was excellent and Jack was very informative on the process and explaining the app. We are waiting for final connection but all the rest of the paperwork is being handled by Emma and the rest of the Kobi staff who are extremely helpful for the whole process including help with the government grants.

Good experience with the purchase and installation of the additional solar capacity.

Sales/quoting process was done well. Price was very competitive and was provided in a timely manner.
Installation was completed though I was surprised how much more time and effort it took to complete compared to the original system The installers were very polite and tidy. It wasn't communicated particularly well how long it would take, when they would be on site and what progress was made.
Everything was done by them. Grid connection was probably more straight forward as this was augmenting the original system.

Professional Installation, Polite and Patient Sales Team

I chose Kobi Energy Solutions (Wodonga) from the three installers provided to me through SolarQuotes. I found the team of 3 ‘Luke’s’ very professional. I had done my own research and knew from the moment I discussed my installation with Luke 'The Installer' that I had chosen the right company. He was very knowledgeable and down to earth. On the day of the install he kept me informed and ask me for my opinion as the install progressed. His installation team were very professional as well. I highly recommend Kobi Energy Solutions.

The overall quoting process was standardized between the three companies suggested by SolarQuotes. That way I was comparing apples with apples.

Luke 'The Salesperson' was very patient and polite. In the end he provided me with four different arrays. I thank him for his patience and politeness.

Kobi Energy organised the grid connection through Essential energy. Its just a frustrating 15 business days waiting to be connected to the grid.
I am a very happy customer. My 10kW system is just what I want, looking 5 to 10 years down the track.

Professional and Quality Installation

We have installed a large commercial system on our holiday unit property and from the initial contact to finalizing the installation and connection, the whole team at Kobi Energy Solutions were extremely professional, helpful and made a confusing process very easy and cost effective.
Follow up and the ability to contact them at anytime has been exceptional.

I would highly recommend.

These guys are very professional, at the first consultation they explained the product and the system at the time of quoting and offered us the best solution, they were punctual and kept us continually updated and had excellent communication throughout the process. The workmanship was tidy and professional and overall we were very impressed and would not hesitate to recommend them for providing a solar installation.
Thanks again guys.

Very Professional All Your Questions Answered

Kobi Energy were very professional, they personally came to our property to outline the proposal and were with us every step of the way, everything was done punctually and efficiently.

I think the thing that stood out was that you never felt like you were a burden if you had to contact them with any questions, they help you through all the various documentation and processes that has to completed.

Very professional and has great service.

Everything was scheduled and quoted correctly. The instillation was very efficient. We had some difficulty because of our roof design and sun location. However Kobi Energy were able to get the most efficient design to capture as much sun as possible without the elimination of surrounding trees.

Fantastic company

Kobi are a fantastic company to deal with. Dan’s customer service is exceptional, we came across a hiccup initially with the feed cable to the house being too small, the other two companies didn’t seem to be interested after that, but Dan went above and beyond to come up with a solution. Would recommend anyone looking for solar to use Kobi.

Happy customer

The whole Kobi team have been great! Luke made the effort to meet me at my home, provided me with clear information and explained everything in detail. Emma has been very helpful and has gone out of her way to make the process easier for me. After instillation, Jack and the team left my house cleaner than when they started. Bit pricier than other competitors but I have a lot of faith in my choice. So far, I would highly recommend.

Easy to work with and Helpful

I decided to use only local companies and Luke was the only person that quoted what was requested and the price was very reasonable for what was offered.
Ausnet caused some grief during the process but Kobi Energy solution help wherever they could making the process easier than it could have been. As soon as all the approvals were given the installation happened
The installation was seamless, very professional and tidy when it was complete.
Everything was handled well from the first contact to the connection to the grid and they went above what was needed to give me the best service possible.

Great installation and great value

Overall, an excellent experience and I'd highly recommend Luke and his team to others in the area.

Quoting process was really good - we got excellent panels and inverter for a great price, and the installation went well. There was some slight miscommunication around the timing of the install - rain in the week leading up caused timelines to get shuffled around, and I was a little unsure about what was happening at one point. But, everything was sorted out fairly quickly and worked out well. Kobi also helped us sort out grid connection - we managed to get it all connected in a little over a week, which was really great.

Instillation & Switched on in a day.

Quotation process was fine once we worked out what I wanted.
Instillation went well, started at 7am and was finished and operational by 2pm on the day scheduled.
Simple Energy was a challenge to deal with meter consolidation and reconfiguration.
Very happy to recommend Kobi Energy.
