I would recommend RenewCo Solar to everyone
The team at RenewCo Solar exceeded my expectations. They did what they said they would do when they said they would do it. They adjusted to suit my timetable. Great and timely customer service. They sorted all of my grid connections out for me without me having to lift a finger. I could not recommend them highly enough. A great team to work with and hassle free for me from getting a quote to completing the job.Panel rating: 5/5

True end to end service
Save yourself the time and look no further. I've spoken to multiple suppliers and Matthew stood out from the rest both in his personalised approach and informative technical explanations. The team at RenewCo Solar are very dependable, efficient, responsive, approachable, and friendly, and every team member simply does not disappoint at each step. Once you sign on, everything is streamlined and taken care of right until the end, and then some. Their aftersales services are second to none. Nothing is too hard to solve and no questions ever go unanswered. When he says 24/7 support service, he means it.Panel rating: 5/5

Unbelievable service and workmanship
Matthew from RenewCo Solar came promptly and a quote was with us within a few days. I found Matthew extremely helpful, and he is definitely a `can do` person. He was able to recognise the issues with the install and came up with all the answers. The system we went with was not the cheapest quote however we have quality panels and inverter with a very user friendly app.The installation was organised within our tight deadline and was completed very professionally by Scott the installer, all in one day. The communication was excellent. I love the whatsapp group they use which ensures we are all on the same page. The team were very polite, very tidy, and nothing was a problem - even answering our continual questions.
I cannot fault their customer service. They came back the next day to tidy a small raised tile. The grid connection was organised the same day and we were off and running.
Oh, and I need to mention, we have had a number of comments from people in our street about how good the system looks. Definitely worth a little extra to have something on your roof that looks really smart.

Top quality throughout
Comprehensive system and highly technical staff, exactly what I was looking for.09 November 2023
Excellence from start to finish
It's very rare to not have a single, even tiny, cause for complaint or dissatisfaction when having a major household project done. From initial contact, site inspection, explanation of options, quoting, contract, installation, professional workmanship, clean-up and follow up, RenewCo Solar were perfect! As a former tradie and TAFE teacher I believe I can recognise genuine competence, and I saw it at every step.31 October 2023
Not just another sale
The reason you are reading this is that you are doing some research and want to be assured that the installer you are considering will do a professional installation, be professional to deal with, respond to queries and provide post installation service. Matt, Mark and the team ticked all of these boxes and I have no hesitation in recommending their service.Special note - if you have a pitched roof (mine is approx 35 degrees) these are the guys to talk to, a couple of others were happy to give me big quotes but then turned the job down as in the current market it was too time consuming..
The process from initial quote through to new meter install has been very smooth and RenewCo's communication has been proactive and responsive. As noted by others a site visit from Matt was an early indication of their professionalism and no pressure sales approach. This was reinforced by the installation team who were punctual, friendly and went the extra mile to ensure we had a neat install without lots of exposed conduit, no easy task on our steel framed house.
Perhaps not the cheapest but definitely a case of you get what you pay for and in terms of value very happy.
The post install service and WhatsApp group has been great so far.

The Best by a mile and I'll tell you why...
As like almost everyone considering Solar, your journey starts (or should start) with thorough research on products, system sizes and differences…roof types matter as I learned with my 50 degree Cape Cod angel roof!You will most likely source quotes from what I term ‘Marketing Machines with famous former Australian Cricketers spruiking their business’ and be tempted into their (on the face of it) very cheap, low cost offerings, only to be stung down the track when you learn of the added install costs etc that will form part of your total cost….
Not to mention their considerable effort to upsell you for no apparent reason other than greed.
So here is why RenewCo Solar is different – no shonky sales tactics. No “upselling for greed” The ONLY provider to visit my home and give me quality advice on installation costs (both the install on the roof & my prehistoric electricity meter that needed an upgrade).
The team were thorough, professional, clean and always on time and on budget. The communication was fantastic (through the WhatsApp chat they set up for your job).
I’ve been undertaking renovations on my property since 2016 and I can honestly say this was the most professional team I have had on my site. Full credit to Matt, Mark, Nathan & team. You should be proud of the business you’re operating and I would highly recommend you to anyone considering Solar!

Very Happy
A professional team.From initial contact, range of options discussed and quoted, installation and follow up, everything was very professionally carried out. The installation team were top quality guys who delivered a first class job.
It's a business that does what they say they are going to do.
Definitely NOT high pressure salesmen or cowboy tradesmen!
The system has been operating for a month and, so far, is delivering above expectations.

Zero complaints!
The RenewCo Solar team were fantastic! Everything went well from the start to the finish, and beyond the installation too. I could not fault them at all in terms of the level of service and attention to detail, workmanship, communication, timeliness and advice. I would happily recommend them to anyone!Panel rating: 5/5

Nothing to fault
The team at RenewCo Solar provide a meticulous service from initial contact to post-installation advice. Unlike the other three quotes I received, the initial site visit was by the owner electrician, not a salesman, who was willing (and able) to answer every one of my niggling questions. Once I had accepted the quote, installation was swift and the whole team were nothing but professional, accommodating and committed to completing a quality installation. Since installation, I run my dryer and air-conditioning free of cost (and conscience) while easily monitoring my energy production/consumption from an app on my phone. RenewCo's responsive post-installation service has continued, long after I paid the bill. RenewCo was not the cheapest quote I obtained, but their full service commitment (on which they have delivered) and the absence of a salesforce for quotes and site visits won me over. If I could give more than 5 stars, I eagerly would.29 October 2023
RenewCo blew everyone else out of the water
I never write reviews, but I’ve been meaning to write a review about Matt and the team at RenewCo for some time, mainly because they blew me away for their approach and customer service.Like most people reading this I did my fair share of research… actually I did way more than my fair share. But when it came to getting quotes from different solar installers most were more interested in trying to impress me with their laptops and an arial view of our house showing their ability to place little black solar panels in neat arrays.
When Matt made his first visit, there was no laptop, not iPad, no gimmicks… he’s like may people his age, does everything on his phone. My first thought was… ‘who the F^$& is this bloke’. But I very soon had to eat my own thoughts.
No sooner had we made the intros, he spotted my ladder against the house. With a simple, ‘may I?’ He shot up the ladder inspecting for himself the complexity of our roof. From that moment I was sold. You see, as the CEO I don’t believe Matt is inherently a salesman, I never felt he was simply selling me panels, inverter and a battery, the knowledge and understanding he shared in our first meeting showed how immersed he is in his company and industry.
For me personally that understanding and hands on approach reassured me that wherever our solution ended, he understood our needs, the heritage nature and challenges of our house.
For a young company they don’t just understand the importance of customer service, they ensure that at every step of the way you’re in safe hands and will bend over backwards to accomodate any last minute and stupid request you may throw at them (and trust me I threw a few).
They know how important your house is to you and how big an investment solar is. So they don’t want to simply slap on a solar solution, they want to understand what you want and what is best for the aesthetics of your home.
When it came to the actual solution, the team worked with us on our original plan for panels and a battery, only to have us completely change our minds on battery, inverter and panels at the 11th hour. They then worked tirelessly with us, answering every question and giving us multiple options.
On the day of installation, the guys smashed it out, installing 25 panels on 5 different roof areas. They even changed a couple of broken tiles we didn’t know about. By the end of the day the only sign the guys had been on site were the slick REC black solar panels.
Do not be put off that RenewCo is a relatively new player in the market, or have any preconceived ideas (like I did). They only work with the best brands, their installation team is top notch and their customer service is second to none.
We’ve had our system now for 3 months and based on how the system is tracking it will pay for itself in about 4-5 years… less at the rate energy prices are increasing.
It still brings a smile to my face when I boil the kettle and make a cup of tea for free!

Entirely deserving of five stars in every category!
We recently had a solar system installed by RenewCo.The process was painless from beginning to end, including answering my (frequent!) questions effectively... The quote process involved me requesting a number of changes, none of which were too much trouble for the RenewCo team.
Once we were satisfied with the proposed system, we pushed the go button, and installation was scheduled at a mutally agreeable time.
The quality of workmanship is first class, as we needed for our property, and the team doing the job were professional and pleasure to talk with on the day - they seem pretty happy to do their work!
The system is now working a treat. Strongly recommend!

Exceptional Solar Experience with RenewCo: A Seamless Journey
My experience with RenewCo during the installation of a solar system was truly exceptional. Throughout the entire process, from our initial meetings to the final installation, RenewCo's professionalism and efficiency were consistently impressive. What truly set them apart was their unwavering dedication to providing outstanding customer service.Matt and his team at RenewCo were not only easy to work with, but they also maintained excellent communication, keeping us well-informed through emails and WhatsApp. Their proactive approach and responsiveness ensured that we felt engaged and informed at every step.
RenewCo's commitment to customer satisfaction was evident not only during the sales process but also before and after installation. Matt was readily available to address any concerns we had, offering innovative solutions to meet our specific energy needs.
The installation itself was of top-notch quality, completed within the agreed-upon timeframe, which left us with a strong sense of confidence in their work.
In conclusion, RenewCo is the ideal choice for anyone considering a solar installation. Their professionalism, dedication to customer service, and their ability to deliver on their promises make them stand out in the industry. Thanks to Matt and his team, I now enjoy the benefits of renewable energy with complete peace of mind. If you're in the market for solar solutions, RenewCo should be your top pick.

Excellent install going the extra mile
The sales process was as per usual. Post sales they indicated a date and hit that install date. The installers worked all day and into the evening to get the job done and did a great job understanding the complexities of the site and roof. Really happy with the outcome

Happy in all respects
Had three on site consultations and only RenewCo seemed to really listen to what I wanted. The others were just scripted sales pitches with lots of info I already knew. Only RenewCo actually climbed onto my (complicated) roof to look at the details.Inverter rating: 5/5

These guys are fantatsic
Matthew came to our home and understood the issues of a quality install on a Heritage listed building. He supplied crucial information about legislation that meant I did not have to submit a DA, even though my council initially wanted me to.Multiple options were provided and he talked through pros and cons of each. The SolarQuotes vendors either didnt really get the site and us, or only provided a remote quote with a site visit only if we signed up.
Install was super smooth. All their own employees. Issues were resolved carefully and thoughtfully. All issues were sorted by them and the system was up and running. Absolutely reccomend
19 October 2023
Brilliant service and very thorough job
This team is an absolute delight to deal with. They set up a WhatsApp group with the sales and install team keeping us informed about Installation and also about the best feed in deals.The installation team was prompt, friendly, courteous and efficient. We made a request that was outside of the usual scope and the team came back another day to do it for us.
Highly recommended for a stress free installation!

Quality and Experience makes a Huge Difference!
Matthew and team are very good at what they do. We had a slimmer profile tile, which many companies would not even quote on but the RenewCo team had done plenty of these and installed our job in half a day.I guess having quality/experienced trades makes a difference.

RenewCo Solar - fantastic
I’m very happy to recommend RenewCo Solar to anyone wanting a fantastic solar set up. From the first time discussing requirements and choices of various components of the system to the final phase of installation (and customer service beyond installation) I have had terrific interactions with all areas of the business. The installation is perfect - the guys really take pride in their work, and have set the system up in the area best suited to us, not the closest (shortest cable). We’re now glued to the apps, watching our energy production ?. This is a great learning experience for our kids in understanding power usage during the day, battery at night, feed in tariffs, $ saved :) I’m a very happy customer!

The RenewCoSolar team were very well organised from initial quote appointment to installation. They were straightforward to communicate with and responsive. They gave a clear recommendation for the size of the install, and justified their choice of quality hardware.30 September 2023

Couldn’t be happier with a massive solar system.
We were very specific about the type of solar that we wanted, and Mark was more than happy to accommodate our wishes. We wanted to maximise the solar panel (61 panels) and got 4 batteries. Huge system. He was very easy to deal with, and we enjoyed the entire experience. The team that did the installation were excellent. Very friendly and kind and always left the place tidy. The job is now up and running. We are so happy.Inverter rating: 5/5

Very Professional
Matthew and the whole team should be proud of themselves. They were quick to respond and answer all querries. I find it very professional on their part to come look and physically inspect the roof before sending a quote. They are honest and will give a good recommendation based on what you need.I had to postpone my installation a few months but they honour the first quote and actually gave us a better deal. Installation was done very quickly. Didn’t have any problem with installing in a difficult room too.

Very happy with installation
We've been very happy with the design and installation of our solar system through RenewCo. The sales process was low pressure and collaborative. Matthew provided a range of options and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. The price wasn't the cheapest quote we had, but we felt it was a reasonable price for the quality of the system. The installation went well, our roof (flat, colourbond roof) was left in a tidier position than when the installers started. The team has also helped post installation with connection to the grid and offered further service when required.Panel rating: 5/5

They are a team that never gives up
I have been told over and over that we can't have solar for our townhouse because it is difficult to get strata approval plus the trees surrounding us.RenewCo was the only company bothered for a site visit and explained to us what would the solar system deliver in this location. It took us 6 months to get the strata approval. Our system was installed midwinter and of course solar production wasn't looking great. The team came 3 more times after the installation and also tried a new inverter for me to make sure there is absolutely nothing wrong with the system and installation.
Finally the sun directly hit our roof in late winter and we are getting so much solar power that I run out of ways to use it.
This company provides the best after installation service and ongoing support.
Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience
RenewCo Solar took the time to actually come out to my home to do the quote which I rate very highly when looking for someone to do a job.Adam sat down with me and explained the different systems and panels which I appreciated as I did not know much about solar.
Installation was more than fantastic, the guys did an exceptional job they were punctual, polite and cleaned up after the job.
Mark was always keeping me updated on the progress of the job and couldn't be happier with the experience so far.
Can't wait going forward with RenewCo and would highly recommend them.

Great installation experience
We had a great experience with RenewCo solar. The inspection and quotation process was quick and efficient and we really appreciated that they came for a site inspection before quoting. We live in an Inner West terrace house, so our array design and installation was not straightforward. I think that some other installers had put us in the 'too hard' basket, but the RenewCo team worked with us to design a system that gave us the the production capacity we were after while fitting with our tricky roof set up. The installation was smooth and professional and the team were lightning quick to respond the next day to an issue with one of the connections. After sales support has been excellent so far (which I understand can be hit and miss with some solar installers). We would definitely recommend RenewCo Solar to others, particularly for those with non-standard installation requirements.Panel rating: 5/5

Quality installer and easy to do business with
I dealt with a couple of professional local companies in the quote process (along with some less distance ones) opted to go with RenewCoSolar.They offered the right mix of a quality product and confidence in their installation and support. The installers have just left - they were great!
