Smart Energy Answers Solar Reviews
Brilliant from start to finish.
Great sales and flawless installation team. Some minor cosmetic issues with inverter install and they came back to fix it right away. Follow up after sales was great. Highly recommended. Show additional informationHappy customer
The whole process went very smoothly and much faster than expected. They kept me well informed and met all commitments. Show additional informationSmooth process
The whole process was very smooth. The Smart Energy Answers was the only company, which sent a representative to discuss our needs and to provide a quote. Very nice talk to Oren. Solar system installed just two weeks after the quote and sign up. Excellent, saved us lots of money! Installation itself was quick and easy, despite the size of the system. All customer service and communication was great, everything was organised and delivered as promised (except the final design, but it had to be adjusted at the day of the installation anyway, so not a big deal). Overall very happy with Smart Energy Answers! Show additional informationHassle free from quote to installation
From getting a quote to installation, timely and efficient.Installers were efficient and timely. it would be helpful if the electrician could educate me a little about the inverter and the connection to IsolarCloud.
I found the process to get connected to IsolarCloud stressful and frustrating. And they got my suburb (address) wrong.
Customer service was good. She was very helpful. They help organised the grid connection after the installation. It took about a month before the meter was changed.
I haven't got a full grasp of reading the monitoring on my phone APP. Maybe my next electric bill will give me some clarity.
Thank you Finn for providing information on the different types of solar panels and inverters. Show additional information
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 informationExcellent personal service
The quoting was detailed and following discussion the final system including the number of panels was agreed in line with my needs.Installation was carried out on time by very friendly and polite installers. The finished the job inn one day, cleaned up any rubbish and ensured that I understood the operation of the system, including helping me set up the system/energy monitoring on my smartphone.
Customer service was excellent from start to finish. They did all the paperwork eg. government rebate, grid connection etc prior to installation.

Professional service and customer support
We were looking for the installer for a while.Some of our friends had issues with the companies installing solar systems for them, so we were careful with making the final decision.
Smart Energy Answers had good reviews on https://www.solarquotes.com and https://www.productreview.com.au, so we decided to proceed with this company.
All the process starting from providing the quote till dealing with our electricity provider to connect the system to the grid was professional and done in a timely manner.
All the required documentation has been provided. Their support team was responsive and provided all the required information on time. Show additional information

A straightforward process from the initial phone call and discussion to the final install and activation of the system. The installers were fantastic and did a tidy job and didn't take as long as they thought they would. I love seeing the panels on a sunny day and enjoying cheap power!

Quoting showed a very thorough understanding of my objectives now, and into the future.Installation was undertaken in a professional manner. Installer failed to provide inverter optimizer link to iPhone app. I need to follow this up through SAE customer service

Great Install
The quote was good, very professional & quite friendly.The install was quite interesting. I'm a hands-on kinda person; I found it difficult to watch everything they were doing while maintaining social distancing. I kept wanting to get too close, but the install team were very professional & friendly.
The service from the SEA office was also very good and they too care of all the paperwork for changing the meter over. Energy Australia hasn't been out to actually change it yet, so in the mean time my meter is running backwards instead of calculating a feed-in tariff.
Only the EmberPulse monitoring system seems to have some WiFi issues. Show additional information
Customer service brings it home
The sales ageblntnfrom Smart Energy Answers (SEA) was quite helpful and was honest in his dealings. Through the process we realised I was not quoted for the right type of inverter owing to restrictions (which the sales agent ought to have known) of the energy retailer. Nevertheless the team at SEA upgraded me to a 15 Kw inverter at no extra cost. The whole team right from sales, customer service and installation were exceptional. I think in today's day and age everyone provides the goods, but good customer service is an absolute key. This is why I have no reservations in recommending the team. The Sungrow inverter provides me with wifi monitoring of power generation however if you would like to see your consumption you will need a another Sungrow Monitoring device which is an extra 950 bucks. Probably worth bringing this up in your early sales conversations. Show additional informationTrouble free, very efficient Solar Installation
The Sales quoting process was what led to the selection of this company over others. The initial price quoted was halved through an end of month discount and the Government subsidy support scheme.The Sales representative I dealt with was right on top of his subject mater, was polite, informative and responded to questions fully and politely.The install was made some four days after the quote was accepted. There was a promise of installation commencing at 8.30 a.m which was honoured. Three installers put 13 panels in place on two areas of the roof and the Meter was installed two days later.The Tradesmen in charge of the instal was very personable, polite and helpful.
I made a minor calculation on payment and a phone call resolved that very amicably. Show additional information
Extremely Happy with everything concern.
Smart Energy Answers were very helpful with the quote and explaining all involved, they offered a special for the month which also assisted the price. I was well informed of the process before the installation date. All workers for the installer were pleasant and polite. Smart Energy Answers, follow up with the electricity provider was very satisfactory. I was instructed to contact my provider as well for which I did. Their after service was also satisfactory.The only issue I have with all Solar providores would be to inform the purchaser of the possibility of roof tiles being damaged at the time of installation, and perhaps help them with information to purchases some spare ones before the installation date. I have since been able to purchase spare tiles for future need of replacement.

Consultant very knowledgeable and accommodating to my many varied requests.Quote was very competitive but not the cheapest. I took great comfort from size of business and they are an Accredited Retailer not just an installer.
Installation team was great. Job looks really tidy and no mess left. Show additional information
Prompt and efficient service
The sales consultant was knowledgeable and spent time discussing all options. The quote was guaranteed price and had performance expectations written down.I was lucky to get an installation date very close to booking. Installation was on time, clean, and high quality. The system is connected to the grid and up and running in 4 weeks.
Any questions, follow ups I had were dealt quickly and respectfully. Happy to spend a bit extra for the quality of install and service. Show additional information
Professional, Cost Effective and Responsive team
I purchased my 5KW system from SEA , Rodrigo was very patient through the whole process as I'm a bit tech savvy and had compared few systems prior reaching out to them.Not only technically i was satisfied with the approach , cost wise also they beat the incumbent. Installation happened 2 weeks ago and today was certified as hunky dory.
I had to deal with Support team a few times for paperwork which was also flawless.
Highly recommend SEA and very happy with the service i received. Show additional information

Not a straight forward install. East west orientation with shading issues. Sales personnel knowledgeable and helpful. Installation personnel very competent and did quality job. Show additional informationSo far, so good
Spent some time chatting with Adam to figure out our needs and come up with our quote. Noting Solar Energy Answers (SEA) were the first company we got a quote from, he was very helpful and very patient! After some back and forth over the next few days, we settled on 28 x Opal 315W panels (8.82kW string) and an 8kW Sungrow inverter; I was pretty happy with the price. The installation appointment took a bit longer than expected (over a month in the end) but this was mostly down to a bit of confusion over our availability. However, when the installation team turned up (Darren, Diego and Sean) they were awesome; friendly, courteous and very efficient. The installation was scheduled for 2 days but they managed to get it all done in one day with zero mess. Prior to leaving, Darren ran me through the Sungrow monitoring app and clearly answered all of my questions; it was great to see my system producing power before they had even left! All this was yesterday so it’s early days and I’ve yet to have my energy provider get me onto a solar feed-in plan but today has been overcast all day and my app is telling me that the system has produced 13kWh - I’m looking forward to that being turned into cash!! As the title says, so far, so good with my SEA experience. Show additional informationExcellent installers. Good support from company.
No nonsense sales/quote. Despite my own research i went with SAE's recommended panels and inverter brand due to best price vs quality. Installers were very polite and professional, did an excellent job and tidied up afterwards. Great support from head office. Grid connection was all handled by SAE and the entire process was all too easy. I would highly recommend Smart Energy Answers for a Canberra installation. Show additional informationEarly days but good so far.
Good so far. Some tile roof damage on installation. People should be prepared for this. Also long potential delay on connection. SEA installers and sales people were great. Sungrow inverter service not so good. Called to report a software problem, still no response 7 days later. Lucky it fixed itself. Panels working as predicted. SEA estimate was accurate compared to others. Show additional informationGreat experience all round
I really wanted a 100% Australian owned solar company that actively employs and functions in the best interest of its local community.That’s what I got with SMART energy answers.
The experience from start to finish was a breeze, they provide great value for money considering I wanted the best I can get LG Neon panels.
I’m satisfied with my savings and rest easy knowing that my warranty will be fully supported by a trusted Aussie company Show additional information

Good service
The sales/installation processes were great. Carlos, the installer, was very accommodating. He listened to my questions and responded to my request positively.The only thing I was not satisfied is the designing process. I was expecting engineering data/analysis to back up the distribution and location of the panels unique for my installation.
Overall I am quite happy with the system installed. Show additional information

Happy with Smart Energy Answers
I was very happy with the Sales/quotation process as well as the subsequent installation. The installation team were prompt and very efficient in what they did. This also impressed my neighbour who subsequently agreed to go ahead and install a system with them. Unfortunately still too early to see the benefits from a cost point of view and believe we have to wait 6mths minimum.Supplier Reply

The sales and quoting process was very easy with a representative coming to the house and talking us through the options. Everything was presented well and clearly and I knew exactly what I was getting and why by the end of the process.The installation was arranged within days-- the crew were polite, tidy and on time. They did a great job removing the old system (and taking it away) as well as installing the new system. The did a great job clearing up after themselves.
The customer service was great -- both presale and after sale. They organised connection to the grid and configured the wifi system for the inverter. I had follow up emails and phone calls to ensure all was well.

Sales and quoting was the reason we went with Smart energy. The guys where punctual and seemed to do a good job. As for tidy well, there was rubbish left on the roof, a couple of chipped tiles even cigarette butts. We contacted them to tell them about this, as well also 1 panel wasn't on the system and this took 3 weeks to fix. On the rubbish, the fellow that eventually came to fix the system didn't seem to bothered about it, say" shrugged it of as part of the job". In my line of work that would be unacceptable , so I would expect a tradie would be the same. Overall I can see the benefit of solar as great way to save money and be better for the whole planet. I am still glad we went ahead with it.
Cheers

The sales/quoting process was informative and compelling and the install efficient and went as planned. The grid connection process was completed smoothly and as described. A commitment to assist with the monitoring app was not fulfilled at the time of installation and has been time consuming although I expect it will be resolved. The responsiveness to follow-up with questions and any issues has been good at all levels and with respect to all aspects of the process. It is fair to say based on my experience that this company has a good process and is committed to customer satisfaction.Supplier Reply

Not Great
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.

Adam just blew the competition away. Two other quotes were unpleasant experiences (one trying to upsell me and one making racist comments about their competitors) but Adam and Smart Energy Answers were professional, knowledgeable and more than lived up to expectations. Our roof is a particularly steep pitch but solutions were found and the installation team were fantastic. Office staff are equally wonderful and arranged to have our smart meter installed without me lifting a finger. This is an outstanding company and I'd highly recommend them.Supplier Reply

Very easy to deal with and everything they said would happen - happened. Show additional informationAn average experience
The installation was delayed for weeks due to the lack of stock due to coronavirus, which is entirely understandable however I was not informed of this or when the installation would take place. Communication was not forthcoming after I paid the deposit.The installation is OK, a little messy in terms of the mounting rails extending uneven distances beyond the panels despite that being my only request on the day.
They never did a site inspection or measure prior to installation so the layout is not what I was expecting from the aerial mapping.
The installer didn't check the quality of the wifi connection to the inverter, so I don't have reliable monitoring. Plus I was never explained the different monitoring/smart meter options available so I'm totally in the dark about my usage and if/when I am exporting power to the grid. The installer also didn't explain any of the inverter functions before he left for the day - no handover, no manuals, nothing.
Their technical rep has been good on the phone in trying to improve my wifi connection after my enquiry. It seems the Fronius system needs a much stronger wifi signal than most other devices.
The system appears to be working well, but I chose this company because of their supposedly great communication and service. In hindsight I could have chosen a cheaper supplier and got the same result. Show additional information
