no complaints. Of the three to quote these guys were the only one to get on the phone and explain every thing prior toe sending a quote. The others only emailed through there quotes and no phone calls at all. Show additional informationGreat Service
They replied with quote within 24 hours. They assessed our house and solar needs accurately. They were no fuss and no badgering! Show additional information
First of all I think your website site is excellent in providing information on Solar, thank you.
Solar Energy Anwsers have been reasonable to deal with however they failed to notice that my meter box was in a no-compliant condition after they had installed the panels and inverter which held up the whole installation, they should check all meter boxes to make shaw it can take solar before they hand out quotes.

Amazingly fast & tidy installer; too early to rate the system but it seems to be working nicely
Sales/quoting was really professional and efficient. Oren was very honest and spend plenty of time to talk through the options and comparisons. SEA were also flexible on price to keep competitive with other offers.Installation was amazing, really. We've had a lot (a lot!) of tradies through recently and these guys were awesome - on time, very efficient, communicated as and when needed, and left things super tidy.
We've only just completed the installation, so too early to rate on other things - waiting on grid connection etc to take place and the system seems to be working well but needs more time to tell. Show additional information
Excellent friendly service. With exceptionally priced system.
Out of the two companies I received quotes from. Smart Energy Answers had a less 'salesman' more 'fact' approach. Which put me at ease and their multiple options quotes were well received. Vs the other company that in their sales pitch had many "You could go for this, but for you mate, I'll recommend this.. actually, this will be the best". Show additional informationGreat service, simple and no fuss install
Great service for the initial scoping and site visit, followed on a few weeks later by a no fuss, quick install and system was online the next day. Show additional information
The SEA rep who came to discuss a solar system was extremely knowledgeable, especially about where solar might be heading in the future. One of the reasons we chose SEA was their forward thinking. For instance they suggested installing a system with greater capacity than we currently needed for possible future needs. As well, they suggested positioning the inverter to allow for a battery in the future which could be added later. None of the other companies had this focus.
The design of where to place the panels was thoughtful with possible future shading in mind. The install went remarkably smoothly, clean and efficient, no broken tiles at all. SEA followed up on a power board problem that needed a minor upgrade and where receptive to all questions and issues.
Great outcome. Show additional information

Good.... BUT!!!!
Sales quoting process was good, until I needed advice how to get the SMART-PHONE MONITORING GOING.The links provided by SMART Energy Answers did not work. And emails and phone calls (via a call centre - it seems) were unanswered.
Installers were good, but the whole process was messed up by Red Energy delaying the arrival of the new smart meter. By this time, I'd paid Smart Energy Answers in full, so their responsiveness seemed to die.
I fluked connection to the grid, helped somewhat by Red Energy's smart-meter installer.
The monitoring system on my smart-phone remains a mystery and is not working, although the blue light on the inverter seems to indicate readiness. Who do I ask to for HELP? Show additional information
Good install,after install service not so good.
Good comparisons, installation workers did great good, just had trouble with sungrow app and it took some time to hear back from SEA. Also its been over 4 weeks since install and still no smart meter install,due to paperwork taking to long from SEA. Show additional informationGreat communication. Everything installed exactly as planned
The process went very well from start to finish. Once our consultation was organised the sales rep turned up on time and answered all our questions.After accepting the quote we received emails detailing the process and confirmation of installation dates. Nothing was altered, everything went as planned. Very happy with the results Show additional information
Very pleased with the whole process.
Show additional information
The system was supplied as per our specification and the install was carried out on time and on budget. The sales and consultancy was first rate and the installation staff were courteous, on time and very clean in their work.
The only issue that I can flag is that there is a minor tidy up required for the installation (one train of panels needs to be reseated and aligned for what is mainly aesthetic reasons). This has been logged with the supplier and they still to get back tome with a time for rectification.
Overall, system performance is on the advertised and install quality is good. The staff at all levels are professional and knowledgeable. Show additional information

We selected Smart Energy Answers as they presented the best and most cost-effective solution. The salesperson, Daniel, was very professional - arriving at the appointed time, presenting the solutions suitable for our site and patiently responding to our detail-oriented questions. We were quite comfortable going through these details after having gained sufficient knowledge beforehand from the Solarquotes site. Upon reflection, we believe we have selected the best cost-effective system at the time. The installation was done about 3 business days after signing the contract. The installers arrived promptly at 7am. After completing the physical installation, they provided us with pictures of the installed panels as we could not really see these (2-storey house). Also went through the basic operation of the system including installing the iPhone App and connecting the inverter to our network. SEA sent the certificate of compliance to our energy supplier. It took 3 weeks (15/7/19) for the supplier to swap us over to a smart meter. Apparently this is the standard lead time.We decided to change suppliers (after 22 years) after a month of the system being commissioned due to rates.
This is where our Solar journey got interesting. We received our first electricity invoice from our new supplier in Feb 2020. There were actually 2 invoices covering 6 months. We were surprised to see that our bills have not actually improved as expected. Upon checking the invoice details, no mention was made of the FIT. Our system meanwhile reports the Exported energy at 3.69 MWh for the 2 invoiced periods.
Looking back, we clearly indicated on the online form that we have Solar installed in our property. The Customer Service representative of the current supplier explained that our address is not listed in the national Solar database as having Solar installed hence they relied on that information rather than confirming with us. Not sure how this can happen as our previous supplier had already been crediting us with the exported energy.
This is currently being resolved and we hope that the outcome would be satisfactory. Lesson learned - never assume that suppliers will always get it right.
Anyway, regardless of this mishap, installing solar was still a good investment. And thanks to the education provided by Solarquotes, we wouldn’t have been convinced to go Solar.

Professionally installed system and service
Smart Energy Answers provided a friendly and professional service from start to finish (sales, installation and post installation follow up work). The installation team did a fantastic job under difficult conditions because it was raining on and off on the day of the installation. The system (including the monitoring system) is working well.Supplier Reply

We were pushed toward a solar edge being told we can see online our usage power to grid etc only after installation to do this would be another 700 dollars and we can see a logical and practical view of our panels we can see logical view but after several emails we still cant see a physical view as one panel has a very low output and we would like to know which one.

Quality system, great installation and service!!
Of the 3 companies I dealt with only Smart Energy Answers could provide me with the Solar Edge inverter. I wish I had another company that I could compare quotes with of the same brand of equipment.Sales and quoting process was very good!
Installation was excellent! The installers were very friendly and easy to get on with. They cleaned up very well after the installation.
The customer service was very good. They responded to my request quite sufficiently.

Seamless process.
From start to finish Smart Energy were fantastic. They knew exactly what we wanted, answered all our questions plus ones we hadn't even thought about.The installers worked very hard, were efficient and stayed late until the job was complete. Set us up on isolar cloud.
Customer service were very helpful and sent all the paperwork to Energy Aust the next day.
I have been in contact with energy Aust, who advised they have everything, however we are still waiting for them to change the meter.
As it has been 8 working days since installation I will be calling them today for an update

Troubled
Sales Rep was fantastic and had answered all our concerns during our initial meeting and subsequent email process to clarify the quote. The company advised that installation was set for the 23rd of December after the deposit was paid. One week out (16th) I sent a return email to that person asking a few questions which also included confirmation of the balance owing. I did not get a response so I forward the email to the Sales Rep on the 18th. I never received a response. At this time I'm feeling nervous that I have been "scammed". The 19th, against my better judgement, I paid an 'extra" deposit to cover the cost of installation. If I have been scammed then I would have just lost more money, but if the installers turned up, then I had paid enough to cover their installation costs. A gamble yes.The installers were fantastic, problem was, the company went on annual leave COB 20th and I could not contact anyone. Got an email on Christmas day advising that the monitoring system was up and running. Then the problems started, the monitoring system only showed production not consumption. Not happy, no one to contact. When the company resumed in January, I find out the that monitoring system that I thought I was getting is another $800 - which I would never have accepted at the quote stage. Received an email with the manual to the system but had to follow this up because there was no attachment. To complicate matters, we switched over to the NBN on the 7th Jan and now the monitoring system shows nothing beyond that date. We checked with our electricity supplier, and they were not advised of our conversion to solar. So I had to chase this up, the paperwork was finally sent on the 16th of January. To be fair, I did receive an email on that date after my contact with the company, advising that my monitoring role and permissions were upgraded so maybe I will be see both production and consumption, but I don't know until the monitoring system (interruption due the the NBN) is resolved .... which is still ongoing as I write this. Hence I have not rated the "quality of the system" as I do not know. On the plus side for the company, they kind of delivered what they said they would but the experience was influenced by the Christmas break and the installation of the NBN. On the negative side for the company, they really need to take a step back and examine their after sales service ....service. Because I've had to, and still am, chasing up the outstanding issues. It would have been easier if I had paid the $ upfront and had everything done on the "installation day" but this was never an option and, how would you know your not being scammed ? PS - after hitting the submit button, the system wants me to rate the quality of the system so my rating is not a true reflection ....... to be continued ...... Show additional informationGreat Service and organised solar company
Best price and service out of 4 companies. Honest, organised and keen to reply to any questions. Sales people not pushy, answered and discussed any concerns and set up the Solar Victoria online directions and helped to get through this process efficiently. Installation due in the next 2 weeks as they return to work after the holiday break. The best price for a top system and thanks to Solar Quotes site I was able to gain a much better understanding of what I was trying to do. Smart Energy Answers has kept in touch and given me direction on the installation process which is upcoming. Thanks.Supplier Reply

Best solar decision in 2019
I had 15 x LG 350 panels and the Solaredge inverter with optimisers installed. I cannot recommend SEA highly enough for their responsiveness to queries, professional services and a hassle-free, expedient process for solar installation. After seeking quotes via the excellent Solarquotes platform, my contact with Firoz has been nothing short of outstanding. He worked tirelessly over a weekend to provide a quote that was revised several times, coached me the process of securing the Vic solar rebate so that it was effortless and demonstrated his expertise in addressing all my concerns. The team of installers led by Tony were punctual in attendance, efficient and professional in installation. Together , they - as well as my contact with their call centre and Finance dept - provided a customer experience second to none. From getting a quote, to installation, inspection and getting solar monitoring access, the process started on 15 Nov and was complete before Christmas. Now I'm just waiting on my energy retailer to program for solar metering....Supplier Reply

The sales person was well informed and nothing was to much trouble, thats where the good stuff ends. After explaining how we would like the solar installed and signing off on a photo that was sent through to us, the lack of communication became apparent as one of the most important pieces of the installation was not done. It says on thear website in house installers treat your house like their own unfortunately not the case broken tiles and rubbish left over the backyard. Our system has been offline for a number of days due to an airconditioning install, after trying to get it back online myself after following the instructions on their website (Emberpulse) to no avail, I have phoned a number of times and emailed to recieve no response from their customer service department hence our system is still offline.

Took longer than expected
The salesperson was very knowledgeable but as they do not do a site visit, when the installing electrician arrived he recommended changes to the design. This made the system more efficient which is a good thing. After accepting the quote in September, our solar system was turned on today (5 December), so the whole process was longer than I expected. However this was mainly due to ACTEWAGL our electricity supplier. Smart Energy Answers were a little difficult to contact- I think they are located in WA and we are in ACT, so issues with time difference. Also the quality of the communications were poor - I always had to chase them up and often their emails were confusing and required additional questions. The Emberpulse system is well worth investing in, even just using it today - it was simple to set up (I didn’t need any help) and provided useful information form the start. Even with the extended time I would still recommend Smart Energy Answers for price and our local electrician was very proficient and did a great installation job.Supplier Reply

Smart Energy Answers (SEA) made the whole quote/installation process painless. They provided a quote with three options for different brands of panels. Once I decided to go ahead with the installation it was complete in about two weeks.The salesperson came to my house to take photos of my meter box etc. on the same day I gave SEA the go-ahead.
The installers were very professional and did very tidy work.
Post install they provided me with a 14 page customised user manual (PDF) for the installation as well as the inverter manual from the manufacturer
I initially had problems viewing my usage statistics from the Fronius web site, but SEA fixed that within 5 minutes.
They also made the process of ordering a smart meter from my electricity provider simple by sending me a link to the correct web page, and providing me with a PDF containing all the information I needed to fill out that application.
All in all, I have nothing bad to say about the experience.

Great Company to deal with. Great installation.
From initial contact requesting a quote all the way through to installation this company was a great company to deal with. Consultants were great, explaining everything I needed to know in basic lingo which I understood. Installation was on time and they made it easy to get connected to the grid. Tradesmen used were great and the place was left neat and tidy. Panels look good on the roof. Would recommend this company to anyone contemplating solar energy.Supplier Reply

The installation was quick and efficient, the follow up paperwork, no so. It has taken three weeks to get some of the legal requirements finalised.

From the initial meeting with Norman the senior energy solutions consultant through to the design of my system and completion of installation I knew I was in expert hands. It was a seamless journey which only took a few weeks to complete without a single hiccup. The install team arrived promptly and finished 29 panels by mid-afternoon to a very high standard and well secured. There was minimal interruption to my day with the power being off for only 5-10 minutes when the hookup to mains occurred. Have not had any issues yet as it is early days, but I would definitely recommend the team from Smart Energy AnswersSupplier Reply
