We follow up with all reviewers after 12 months to see how their system is going since it was installed. These are all the reviewers who have responded to our 1 year follow up:
The installer came at the appointed time, carried out the installation can cleaned up after.
Wayne, my contact was very helpful in re configuring my existing system together with my new 3.5Kw PV system giving me a total of 4.7Kw. Whereas the other supplier advised me to junk my existing system and replaced with a new 4.9Kw PV system, which would be wasteful and cost me another $2000 to $3000 more. Wayne, also went the extra step to ensure that I retain my premium feed in tariff. The installation went smoothly and I love my Fronius Solar Web App. Now, I can see my energy consumption and my PV production on my smartphone and desktop PC. Show additional information

The solar installation was quick and easy but getting our supplier to reprogram our smart meter is taking a very long time. Therefore we have not been able to use our solar power as yet!!

His team of installers were on time and they got on with installation as soon as they got to our house and finish that very afternoon.
They did not worry us at all.
His office did all the paperwork and all the necessary registrations for us on completion.
Fabulous! Show additional information

Sales and Office customer service fantastic, but installers dissapointing. Start time was 8am but one of the electricians knocked on the door at 7.15am. They finished early, but left rubbish in the yard and on roof, and dirty marks on the inside trapdoor to the roof.

I ended up getting 4 quotes, 3 through Solarquotes and one through a recommendation from friend that used Solar Dynamics through Solar Quotes. In the end it was all down to you guys at Solarquotes and we chose Solar Dynamics. They were great and the whole team are very friendly and always happy to answer any questions.
System is installed and working well. The installer/s did a great job and everyone including my electrician son in law were very impressed in the neatness of the install and cabling. Show additional information

We found Solar Quotes to be very informative with all the information and product reviews we needed to make a decision. We were very happy with our chosen provider and found them to be very forth coming in answering our questions. Come installation day it was all straight forward. We are now looking forward to using solar power and drastically reducing our power bill.

+ The Solar Dynamics sales guy that came to the house was someone who understood the whole process and could offer us several price/outcome options (micros vs 2 strings N and W) and explained the benefits of each clearly. He also explained about the future tariffs changing this July to favour afternoon feed in and so we got a couple of extra west facing panels on that advice.

The staff at Solar Dynamics - the men who did the installation - Brett, Scott & "Rowdy"; the Manager - Wayne, the Project Manager - Annette, and the front line person - Trudy, were all very friendly, competent and professional, and their on-going support and advocacy after the installation, was way over and above what one would expect - very impressive indeed.

The sales process was very low key ,no pressure, which with the knowledge demonstrated inspired confidence in the supplier. They have so far done everything they promised. I now have to understand how to manage the system and they will also assist with that. The ultimate test will be the next energy bill.

Good communication with supplier through their office and site visit. Proactively followed up after the installation to assure all went ok and if there were any further queries on the system and job carried out at site.
Tracking of solar system performance through the software/app advised has been great and can now plan our day to day use of power to optimise on the system installation and more importantly to offset the increasing cost of energy supplies. Show additional information

It has not been checked by an inspector yet so it is too early for me to tell at this stage.

The three you recommended were poorly represented, gave wildly different prices for the same thing and generally recommended the poorer panels and inverters .
They engendered no confidence so I looked further afield . Solar Dynamics are terrific to deal with Show additional information

I upgraded my solar system and because the Fronius system has two input points was able to get rid of our old inverter but just hook the 1kW worth of panels still on the roof on to the new inverter. Previously theyβd suggested to leave the full old system on as well, however this would have required me to upgrade my circuit board ($1100). By suggesting to incorporate the old panels I was able to put a slightly larger inverter on but get a full 5kW system for around $5500.

Installation well done despite a few hitches and loose ends on the day.
Cannot report on system performance until high grid voltage is resolved.
Staff at Solar Dynamics are helpful and knowledgeable. Show additional information

A really genuine family business. The only company who would send someone out to look at our house before putting money down!

Owner visits, not a commission sales man. Installed promptly . System working a couple of weeks after getting quote

Excellent communication, knowledgeable advice presented succinctly and efficiently. No pressure, no BS.
Installation occurred on schedule and installers were fast, careful, neat and a pleasure to deal with. Although only installed for 1 mostly sunny week, the panels have been pumping out an average of about 30kwh per day (best day more than 40!). Inspector was also impressed with the work and provided certificate without questions. So far couldn't be happier. Show additional information

Excellent overall experience and I would highly recommend Solar Dynamics to any person looking for solar. I did not by the cheapest or the most expensive system and I used my own research with Solar Dynamic expertise and came up with an outstanding solution for our home. The only "problem" I had was with the actual installer who. to be fair, was somewhat distracted with a critical personal matter - his child was in hospital.
The service following the installation has been first rate and I have reduced my electricity bill by approx 75-80%. As a large home user this equates to a payback of the purchase price in approx 4 years. A no brainer! Show additional information

The 3 suppliers you recommended to me were all very good, and I had a difficult job in selecting the supplier, however Wayne Foster from Solar Dynamics was most impressive and technically the best in explaining all details regarding the system.

Not installed yet, hopefully next week

Great web-site, very informative, would recommend Solar Dynamics for "no-hassle" installation and service, as everything was arranged for us by them, we hardly had to do anything. Many thanks Finn, a very satisfied client.

As the system hasn't yet been installed I can't rate all areas but I am very confident that I will be delighted.

AGL being a bit obtuse in finalising the configuration of the smart meter. Apparently their records show that an off peak meter was still in operation. Bit odd as the place has had gas HWS for a couple of years and there is no meter in the power box! Waiting for Solar Dynamics to resolve, hopefully in a day or so. System working well, we hit 32 kWHr last week.

With your service of finding suppliers and the service we received from Solar Dynamics we have been very satisfied. Solar dynamics provided to answers to all our questions, gave us great options on the system and excellent reading and verbal info about our options. the installers were great and tidy. The quotes, and we asked Red Energy too, were all pretty similar except Solar Dynamics had better options on equipment and research indicated that the higher end products available through them were worth the extra expense. The extra expense amounted to less than $1000 which considering the total cost was not hugely significant given the better warranties and reviews.
Thanks again for all your help and sorry about the delay responding - we have been away for some time. Show additional information

Solar Quotes passed my details to three installers ... one I never heard from the second rang me and emailed the quote the third Solar Dynamics rang and made an appointment for Wayne to drop in and discuss what options I had ... Wayne was excellent gave me a few options and suggested which way I should go as I already had a 1.9 KW which was installed in 2012 ... Wayne suggested to leave the existing alone and put another 6.48 KW with Fronius Smart Meter to limit export to the grid to 5 KW ... gave Wayne the go ahead on a Friday afternoon and it was installed in less than two weeks ... the installers were prompt, courteous and did a great job ... Annette at Solar Dynamics did all the background paperwork ... also setup the account at Fronius ...
The system comprises of the following:
24 x 270 Watt Canadian Solar panels, 12 facing East and 12 facing West
1 x 5 KW Fronius Inverter
1 x Fronius Smart Meter
Plus I still have the original setup which in total now gives me 8.38 KW ....
I thoroughly recommend Solar Dynamics ... now all I need is for the Melbourne weather to improve
Solar Quotes is really a great site to find what's what regarding solar ... kudos to Finn and his team Show additional information
