Solahart Newcastle Solar Reviews
Great Team easy to deal with
Solahart are a great team. The quoting process was quick and easy to understand. The installation was effortless no dramas, no mess. I have found everyone I have have had dealings with at Solahart extremely polite, patient and genuine, I could not be happier. Show additional informationLook NO further, Solahart Newcastle all the way !!
I did a fair bit of research in regards to solar installation and process. Interesting, Solahart was not on my initial list of companies but after using Solarquotes it was part of the 3 companies provided to me.I was contacted very promptly by Solahart to arrange a site inspection and consult. This is the first very important part of the process, a site inspection is a must. One other company provided me a quote without a site inspection which included a system that would not even physically fit on my roof !
The Solahart sales consultant (Rodney) arrived a couple of days later, taking photographs of the property, roof and power circuits. Rodney was very punctually and well presented. Rodney provided me with a number of options but without the 'hard sell'. Before Rodney even left my home, I had a full information package, proposed system, site layout and fixed price quotation. It doesn't get any easier than that people.
A few weeks later, the installation team arrived at my home, 3 very well mannered and well presented gentleman.
The weather was not the best, rain on and off most of the day but this didn't seem to bother the team who just got on with the job in hand. The guys needed to come into the home a few times but were very respectful and taking off their shoes on every occasion. At the completion of the install you wouldn't even know the guys had been, the site was completely cleaned and all rubbish removed.
Yes, I acknowledge its very early days as my system is only a week old, but in regards to Solahart Newcastle I can not speak more highly of them. Once you are happy with the system and price, Solahart Newcastle took care of everything else.
I have a 5kw SolarEdge Inverter, 14 Solahart 370w panels with the independent panel boosters system.
Yesterday (22/2/2021) I was running my entire home (including air conditioning) for most of the day for free and still pumping a bit back to the grid.
The SolarEdge monitoring App is amazing, you don't want for anything with this app, you get the lot.
I am excited to see what my system will achieve over the next few months. Show additional information

We found dealing with Solarhart from initial communication to install was a very easy process. The salesperson was punctual, friendly and most importantly very informative. After deciding to go ahead the communication was great and the installation was on time and the instal crew were friendly and professional. Overall this was an very easy process. Show additional informationSpeedy install and friendly staff
Solahart did an amazing job getting us set up and connected. They were the only local company that were willing to send a representative out on site for a quote and did so within 2 days of initial contact, the install was speedy and tidy and all staff from office to install crew have been really friendly and happy to answer any and all questions we had. all aspects of the install and hook up have been covered by solahart and they have maintained good contact throughout the process. Show additional informationVery good experience install team great and very helpful, office staff very good , Sales person a little slack on follow up and returning calls

Solahart came to my house and talked through the options, rather than just sending me a quote based on Google Earth.That’s what made the difference.

100% all round
Solahart were amazing from the first contact, to Rodney coming out to quote and install team everyone explained everything perfectly. Extremely happy with start to finish Show additional informationGreat Company to deal with
Great salesperson to deal with, Listened to my requirements and visited the site. Further discussions were painless and attended to promptly.The installation was a pleasure to watch, the installers ( at my house) worked as a well tuned pair. Experience and efficiency showed and the final installation looked as good as I could have hope for. They cleaned up, fully explained the operation and how Solarheart would contact the energy retailer etc.
Notice was given when all forms were submitted to Energy retailer. A quick phone call to organise plane and power was on and the system operating.
Very professional and a happy customer Show additional information
Solarhart System
Everything went ahead as promised. No complaints at all. Would recommend. Show additional informationLove our solar installation
Got a few quotes and decided on Solarhart as they arranged financing, installation and changes with our energy company. Did have to chase them a little to get ball rolling but absolutely recommend them if youre wanting to go solar in the Lake Macquarie-Newcastle area. They answered our many questions and once we said yes all went ahead on scheduled time. Customer service and installers were great. Show additional informationGreat customer service
We went with Solahart because they came to our site to discuss what we needed. The other company we received a quote from did not come to the site, and only quoted by email. Solahart were more expensive but their customer service and installation was excellent. Show additional informationProfessional Installation
Salesman did not apply too much pressure, adjusted 2nd quote quickly to accommodate what I actually wanted. Installation team were polite, helpful and not intrusive. Office staff were a little too pushy (chasing a response, although very friendly) which initially put me off the company because I don't like being chased. However, decided to give benefit of doubt due to company name and did purchase product. Yes the company is organising grid connection Show additional informationProfessional Company
We chose Solarhart Newcastle firstly because the Sales Consultant that visited our house actually listened to us and did not try and get us to sign on the spot. Also the facts they supplied, I was able to verify from other sources, such as SolarQuotes, where the other companies were not being entirely honest on the quality of their products. We were given plenty of notice on the installation and we are very satisfied with the end result.Installation only occurred on the 12th of August, but Solarhart have told us that they will organise everything with our energy provider.
I would also like to thank SolarQuotes for great web site and the information you provide. It really helps to be made aware of some of the traps that solar installers can get you with Show additional information
Impressed!
I received three quotes and of course all the systems and recommendations were slightly different. Solarhart were patient and answered all my questions as I worked through the decision making process. The equipment was good mid-range with nothing from China (bonus). Communication at all levels has been timely and professional. The installation went very smoothly - the guys even removed two redundant satellite dishes from the roof which would have produced shade on some of the panels. They were polite, well mannered and left the site as they found it. Following installation the operation and the next steps were all explained. Show additional informationInstalled!
Sales / quoting process was good ,Chad explained everything quite clearly and simplyInstallation appeared to go ok , the 3 young guys were punctual, polite , tidy & happy to explain what they had done in simple terms

Quoting was informative but no nonsense or hard sellInstallation was professional and timely. The guys were respectful, clean and informative.
Customer service was in touch with me through each step of the process to ensure smooth running and any my questions answered before problems could arise Show additional information
Knowledgable and pleasant to work with
The sales guy knew what he was talking about. He also tried several layout options in order to maximise the system.As for the installation, everything was good apart from poor handling of the panels (have highly visible scratches). Waiting for this to be rectified next week, hopefully. Show additional information

Easy to understand no pressure sale tradies on time very polite very tidy customer service was. great any questions answered no problem very happy Show additional informationPurchased. Just waiting for the install.
All three of the installers/quote suppliers were good to deal with. All of the systems quoted were of equal quality and within a whisker of the price. Solarhart won out in the end as they could offer the Powerall at the best price. Show additional informationStill waiting for app to ensure that all are working

I purchased a system through them despite their quote not being the cheapest, but with an assurance that they will most likely be around for a long time and are readily available.
Their installers went beyond the brief to ensure that we were happy with the product/installation we received. Show additional information
Quality installer
Quality installer, great reputation in Newcastle. Thorough install, and spent extra time as difficult on old house. Very professional. Very happy Show additional informationGreat Install, poor after sale customer service
The solar rep and installers were fantastic. It took 11 days after installation and phone calls to have the paperwork submitted to our energy provider after being told it only takes 2 to 3 days. The customer service was very poor and they didn't follow up or return calls when they told me they would. Extremely disappointing when spending quite a substantial amount of money.
