Happy with Midland

Steve and Andy were very helpful during the quoting phase. Good customer service once the quote was accepted and deposit paid . Installer was punctual,polite and efficient. All rubbish cleaned up and removed. The system is working fine, just waiting for configuration from our energy supplier. Highly recommended. Original ratings

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

I've had no problems with the system that was installed.

A good experience with efficient installation.

Midland Solar visited our home to make a quote at the time that they said they would, then they spent considerable time at their office a few days later explaining which system was best for our needs. Their quote was reasonable, they helped us with the rebate application then when it was approved, arranged to have our solar panels installed by a very friendly and efficient team who also showed us how to access the app. Midland are in the process of organising our grid connection but Christmas will delay it. All in all a very friendly, efficient service. Thank you for your help with the arranging of our quotes. We opted not to get the loan but we could have paid a cheaper price with the loan.

Simple and exactly what we needed!

The team at Midland Solar were incredibly knowledgeable and easy to deal with.
Called them up one day, site inspection that very afternoon and a quote before the end of the day.
Installation was quick, roughly 5 hours, and installer answered all of my questions.

Also generally cheaper than other businesses and didn't try to screw me around with too big of a system!
Very much recommend Midland Solar!

True to all the positive review

The whole thing went swimmingly, the quoter even downsized me because I went overboard.
Install was seamless, polite, quick and tidy. All done in a day and signed off by the government mob same day - brilliant customer service.

Realisitc Advice and Great Service

Andy & Steve at Midland Solar tell it like it is.

They provided me with the information and insights necessary to make an informed decision on what was best in our situation. There was no hard selling or up selling, just practical advice and patience with my barrage of questions.

Great service from Midland Solar

Great, would recommend.

Easy to deal with and happy to give honest feedback on our solar install. Didn't push to get the largest system that could fit on the roof but made sure that the system actually fitted our usage.

The installer was quick and efficient, completed in one morning and was fully operational the same day.

Great Company

Sales was on point, very precise with all information provided and answered all questions without hesitation
The installation was conducted in a timely manner and on time. Can't complain it was installed a lot quicker than I ever expected.
The installers where on-site on time, the job only took about 6hrs to install a 6.6Kw/h system and they cleaned and took away any rubbish/mess they made on the day.
The Midland Team did a Top Job 5 stars.

So happy to be going solar

Steve & Andy at Midland Solar we’re so helpful and provided clear information about the solar process. They communicated each step clearly which was reassuring. I’m so happy I went with a local company close to where I live.
Show Details

Great company, professional team and installation

The initial contact from Midland Solar was impressive, no pressure, quality information with a total breakdown on what Solar would do for me. Buying a Solar system can be a confusing experience, Midland took the confusion out of the experience and made you feel confident of your decision.
The Midland installation team were like an extension of the initial purchase experience. First of all they were over a week early than initially planned (great) . They were professional, explained how the installation would proceed and finished the job on the day. Before leaving Mick explained how the inverter worked and what to expect from our electricity supplier.
It’s reassuring to deal with a company that’s so far ahead of it’s competition in all aspects of the purchase. I cannot speak highly of both Steven and Andy in the way they handled all aspects of the deal from initial purchase to the grid connection.
I would recommend Midland to members of my family, I have recommended them to two of my friends
A very happy customer

This installer earned my recommendation!

Midland supported me through a change in my original plans for solar & battery to the eventual installation of a larger solar-only system with generator transfer switch as more suitable for my needs.
Service was good throughout the process. They were unfalteringly polite, and conscientious in returning my calls when I didn't get through immediately. There have been a couple of complications - not caused by Midland - in the process of completing the installation and they have helped and supported me through these.
They pro-actively submitted a High Voltage complaint to Powercor when this proved necessary, and helped in organising the grid connection following the installation.
Altogether I highly recommend Midland Solar for solar installations in the Bendigo region.

Original Review on 23-06-2022:

Excellent service and system!

Three companies supplied quotes. One terrible. One mediocre. One exceptional.

Salesperson did not come across as just “sales”. Knowledgeable, respectful and professional. Great advice with all queries responded to promptly.
Installation was as prompt as weather permitted. Two fabulous, polite and professional young men who discussed the process and panel layout throughout the installation.
I did express concern that when the government Is pushing for renewable energy and solar installation, feed into the grid is not automatic. I complained to the Environmental and Planning minister regarding this and Powercor reversed their position on this, so I will have full feed into the grid.
I was expecting at least a three week delay for final inspection and I felt for the lonely inspector because qualified certifies were reduced over covid and have not been returned to pre-covid levels, let alone increased with increased demand. But…he is coming tomorrow!
I cannot recommend Midland Solar more highly. Very happy customer.

Can’t fault Midland Solar

The whole process from initial enquiry to ‘go live’ was smooth and effortless. I had held off for years due to being a bit overwhelmed by the market and options but Midland Solar were honest, clear and straightforward to work with.

Preparation for solar.

So far all excellent service. Awaiting installation after our roof is repainted in the early new year.

Excellent to deal with and best price!

Midland Solar were fantastic to deal with from the initial quote to being available for questions after the recent installation. They gave me the best price and the installation team were super efficient and friendly - took about half a day. I could not fault them. Just waiting for my electricity retailer to come to the party now.

Definitely Recommended

Sales person was very helpful & explained things I was unsure about.

The Installation only took a few hours, they were ontime, started around 7:30-8am, and were done by 1-2pm.
They were friendly & answered a couple of questions I had.

Midland Solar organized everything, except the SolarVic application (which by law, I had to do myself), but they helped with any questions I had regarding the application

Highly recommend Midland Solar.

A great job done quickly and efficiently

From having Steve visit to quote in 24 hours from the request, explaining options, getting the quote through installation, QA check and connection into the grid everything was done with the minimum fuss and full explanation.

Everything was arranged by Midland Solar, the installers were excellent, the safety check went well and connection to the grid was all arranged.

I have no issues at all in recommending Midland Solar to anyone wanting Solar.

We are on a small rural property and that wasn't an issue either.

An excellent experience from contact - through to installation.

From getting in touch, to first contact this was an excellent experience. Andy and his team responded quickly, were out to the house within a week and talked me through my options. Judging light and options, I was comfortable early with the approach.

Once the deposit was sorted, they were in touch quickly and the great service continued with the install team. Friendly and professional, Mick and the guys sorted out the install in less than a day. The job itself is clean, neat and feels extremely high quality. The inspector (independent authority) was out within a week and quickly gave it all a thumbs up. We then had a call from our elec retailer 24h later and BOOM - solar power.

Really impressed all. Thanks for the great work.

Very helpful staff. Quick efficent installation.

Sales/quoting process.
After submitting my quote request I received two phone calls from suppliers that day and one call a few days later. The first took great care to make sure they fully understood my solar needs (size of system needed etc.) and that I understood how everything would work from applying for the rebate, to the installation through to grid connection etc. They also drew my attention to the history of Solar Quotes which is also on your website but I hadn't looked at that bit! It was really interesting. I chose to go with that company as neither of the other two companies measured up to that first call.

Installation
The installation was quick, efficient, and the installers friendly and informative. They tidied up after themselves and carefully put waste in the correct rubbish bins. They even arrived early!

Customer Service
The only problem I had was submitting the online forms for the government rebate. It kept refusing to accept my phone number. I tried different search engines and finally rang the help number. Staff there (more than one phone call) were extremely pleasant and tried hard to help and said that if all else failed they would send a hard copy for me to submit. I rang Midland Sola and they offered to drop in and do it via their mobile phone. I tried my phone but it still wouldn't work. I was going away and had other things that took up my time so in all it was 2 weeks later that I rang the rebate people back and they took me through the application (again!). After some more head scratching we finally got the application submitted. After that everything happened quickly - particularly the 'inspection' which I was told would take some weeks but in fact happened within days.

Great installation, looks fantastic with outstanding follow up service.

Midland Solar were very easy to deal with, and extremely honest upfront around costs and benefits. We installed Micro-inverters, which although more expensive, suited our location better. The results have spoken for themselves.

All time frames promised were met, and the final installation of the black panels on a dark roof look fantastic, including painting the end of the rails where they were cut so they were all black and matching.

Midland Solar also made the connection to the grid seamless.

The follow up service around finding us the best deal on our electricity provider was spot on. Took all of the hassle out finding the cheapest provider.

I am more than happy to recommend Andy and the team...

Great knowledge and service

The knowledge and skills were second to none. Factual information and ease of product understanding and explanation to us ensured we got the perfect product to meet our needs.

Very happy with our system and have recommended them to others interested in purchasing a solar system.

Easy to Understand and Deal with.

The sales team were so friendly and explained everything. It made it so much easier to understand as a lot of it was over my head.

The Installation guys left no mess, explained what would happen next and even played with our dog.

From start to finish everything was explained and they did it all. I didn't have to do a thing. They even sent the information to Powercor and our retailer.

Quick, Clean and Efficient

Having dealt with another company and getting nowhere for 5 months, Midland Solar provided an immediate and satisfactory quote, chased up Powercor for approval for an export capacity of 5.0 kVA, something we did not think we would get! Within 2 weeks of the quote we were up and running with solar. During the whole process we were kept informed and the actual installation went like a dream.

I found Midlands Solar to be really helpful to deal with they gave me sound advice right from the start. I was kept fully informed through out the process, installation was quick, clean and to a high standard.

Couldn’t be happier!

We highly recommend Andy and the team at Midland Solar! Andy was able to explain the process and associated solar jargon in plain English for us to understand. Once we had decided on our system, we were continually updated with the progress of our order. The installation was completed so quickly, and we were receiving feed-in credits in no time.
Even after the job was completed, Andy compared retailers for us, to ensure we were getting the best deal with our new solar. Thank you Midland Solar!

Happy Customer – From start to finish.

Midland Solar were recommended to me by a friend who, like me, had a fantastic experience with them.
From my initial enquiry to post installation follow up, the team have been incredibly efficient and responsive.
Always available to answer queries throughout the process and were happy to pop in and see me in person to take me using the app on my phone for the inverter.
They made the solar grants process so easy, it was a non event. They were prompt and turned up when they said they were going to.
The team that did the install were fantastic, I couldn’t fault them either. They were all personable and friendly and the quality of the install is perfect, everything is symmetrical, square, well placed and neat.
Not rushed or done with out care. I’ve now recommended Midland solar to my own family and friends. I really couldn’t speak more highly about.
