Tidy install but a bit of an average experience

Was quoted 10kw panel system split between the northern roof (flat/2-3 degrees angled south so tilt racks included in quote) and the eastern roof (terracotta tiles, 22 degrees). Was also told the battery could go round the side of the house, between a retaining wall and the side of the house.

Installer rocks up, initial battery location clearly not compliant (not 1m clear space in front of unit, which I wasn't aware was a requirement) so unsure why the salesperson didn't know this. Ended up changing location to under the house, so not a terrible outcome.

Installer also says the tiles aren't suitable to have panels on, so only option is to have all 22 panels on the northern roof. Which means tilt racks will no longer work because panel spacing has to be closer - which also means now the panels are south-facing, rather than north-facing. I'd agreed to the change after confirming with the installer that performance of the system would be at least equal to what I was quoted (not realising south-facing panels are ~30% less effective, which I only found out after the fact).

Overall, has felt like the salesperson said whatever they needed to say to get the sale, and then the installer can change whatever they need regardless of what was quoted. Completely understand that sometimes variations are required, however in this case both variations (the battery location and panel orientation) could probably have been spotted by the salesperson.
Provided feedback on this experience to the company on 20/4/26 and was told someone would be in touch. Haven't heard back which is a pretty poor experience on a ~$20k purchase.

Tidy install and no issues so far (except real-world performance vs what I was quoted), but pretty average experience and follow-up from Solahart.

Once again great service!

This is the third time Solarhart have been to our house. We had panels installed years ago and then panels replaced after a hail storm. This time we got a battery and like always they were wonderful.
They're always polite and do a great job and explain everything to us. Wouldn't use anyone else.

Does what it was meant to do

We had researched and estimated our system needs and the Solahart quote aligned very well with these. No pressure to change or add things we didn't need. Installation was on the day advised and the team turned up fully briefed. System was set to work. An optimiser failed about 2 weeks in service and was replaced on the same day of advising the issue.

Excellent Installer

The sales rep who initially came to our house was polite and informative, the quoting was easy to understand and the office staff we dealt with were always efficient.
The installation team were punctual, well mannered young men. who carried out their job with efficiency, despite some trying conditions.They fully explained how the system works, answered all of our questions, and left our house and gardens clean and tidy when they were finished.
Overall a good experience.
