Highly recommended
I approached Solar Central as they had been recommended to me by a friend. My sales enquiry was followed up promptly and professionally by Chantal who answered all questions and helped me gain a good understanding of solar energy. This was followed up with a site visit from Matt who gave me a high degree of confidence that the proposed equipment and installation plan would be appropriate for our needs.Once I made the decision to go with Solar Central the paperwork and rebate application was smooth and install took place within the agreed timeframe. Despite several days of poor weather Matt and his team completed the job with no hiccups. All of the team members on site and in the office were friendly and courteous and took the time to keep me updated on their progress.
The electrical inspection took place within a week and the system is working well. Show additional information
Excellent Installation
From the outset we were impressed with the knowledge of the sales contact, well done Chantel, With 3 quotes supplied of different costs, comparisons were easier to make, and deciding which system to choose, was made a lot easier.The installers arrived on time and despite poor weather, worked late on the last day to complete the instal. After completion, the worksite was cleaned and a full explanation of how to operate the system was given and a contact number if there were any further questions.
Solar Quotes arranged the electrical inspection and advised the electicity provider of the instal.
Overall we are very impressed by the Solar Quotes team Show additional information
Reccomended
I am very careful who I would recommend as I am a tradie too, but I have no issue with saying I found them to be 100% professional, from their admin to all the tradies and the follow up. Outstanding company.They responded immediately to give me a quote, they kept me updated on start time, they turned up and worked hard.
Use them. Show additional information

Great customer service
There was a delay mainly due to COVID-19 in getting the solar panels but the company was very helpful in attaining what I needed to complete my job. I had great customer service from Chantal helping with the solar rebate to Andre keeping in touch with the progress of my job. The installers were very polite and completed the job within the day and I now have my solar up and running.Thanks you to Solar Central Show additional information

I can't believe how helpful, effecient and obliging Matt, Chantal and the installers were in the whole process of applying for the rebates & installing Solar to our property. I'm very happy with the System that we chose from the 4 options given, and would not hesitate in recommending Solar Central. I researched Solar Central in reviews before asking for their quote so it wasn't necessary for me to get quotes from other installers. Show additional informationGreat Price, great advice .. nice clean installation, great service!
Big thumbs up to Matt, Chantal and the installers as they all did a fantastic job. Chantal in the office is very responsive and answered my queries virtually instantly. Matt came onsite to check with me about the position of the panels to get the best result as well as the best position for the Inverter. The install guys were very friendly and left a perfectly clean site. Very happy with our system - it was much more cost effective than any other system and I'm stoked about the result.

Very happy that we went with Solar Central a local Bendigo company. Matt and the boys did an excellent job on our awkward roof in a couple of days....the site was left clean after each visit. Matt was very responsive to calls and enquiries...Chantal in the office was also very helpfulI would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone at all. Show additional information
You would never use anyone else after dealing with Solar Central. To our surprise, the rebate scheme has now closed until July and we are so pleased that we chose to use Solar Central. Another unnamed (local) Company gave us incorrect information, and we would have missed out on our rebate!!!! Hope too many people didn't do this and are now out of pocket.
Thanks Chantal, Matt and all at Solar Central, we will continue to recommend you & sing your praises to all and sundry.

Pricing was disclosed upfront, and was very sharp compared to the competition. For a very similar system (Fronius 3 phase inverter, mid tier panels, tilts etc), the nearest competitor was just under 50% more expensive, which is a considerable amount of money on a 13KW system. Approximate timeframe given to start our job was two weeks, and it was even completed within that time. Communication with Chantal in the office, and Matt on the job was excellent, and we were kept up to date at each stage.
Matt and the boys were on site when agreed, and didnt have any problem when we asked to make a last minute adjustment to the panel configuration. The installation is to a high standard, and once done everything was left tidy. Matt stepped through the inverter setup and connectivity, and discussed next steps. A couple of days later we got a text from Matt with a thumbs up because the system made 82kw in the day.
We will be recommending Matt and the team at Solar Central to everyone we know. They went above and beyond with our installation, and made the experience a very pleasant one. If you value using local tradespeople, excellent service, flexibility, on-the-job expertise, and reasonable pricing for solid products, we would highly recommend speaking with Solar Central. We are very pleased we did. Show additional information
Is this over voltage an issue elsewhere?? We never contemplated such a problem..
Our inverter oscillates along with our power supplier.. We watch, wait and wonder.. Show additional information
The price was marginally higher than another similar system we were quoted but from the get go you could tell this is a business that doesn't mess about and doesn't use fancy sales techniques (this was the primary reason we chose Matt) , so even if it was just a few hundred difference I was happy to pay the difference for the superior customer service and install I honestly couldn't rate them higher .

Everything went smoothly, we didn't have to do anything. Our first electricity bill has arrived and we are in credit. Show additional information
Installation went very smoothly and efficiently. The Solar Central team were very professional and got everything up and running a lot faster than we expected.
I'll definitely be recommending Solar Central to all my friends and family and suggest anyone in Bendigo and surrounding regions who might be considering solar take a good look at what they have to offer! Show additional information
Your web site was very helpful but I researched on a much broader field and even so there were still problems that I did not anticipate
The power companies are as ever full of BS and self interest
There is a lot of BS in the solar industry
I ultimately had 8 quotes and not one of them met all of the criteria that you suggested
I feel sorry for the poor old pensioner that just accepts the first person that comes along and offers solar, because they will without doubt get ripped off. Show additional information
