Solar Power Nation Solar Reviews
Value for money same warranty as the more expensive brands.
It was what i'd expected installers were nice young fellows and worked hard, got the job done in no time. Show additional informationDon't risk it, may be cheap upfront but will cost you in the long run
Taking money and getting it installed was fast but now a year later and water has been leaking through the solar panel mounts.Calls and emails have lead to nowhere getting the problem fixed, saying an installer will be in touch or someone will call yet no one calls or gets in touch.
Go with someone reputable who will guarantee their work and the products. Show additional information
Quick turn around from order to installation.
Quick to give me a quote, no fuss installation. Grid connection was straightforward. Show additional informationRubbish
Paid in full for my solar system after install the system does not work i have rang many many time and email for them to fix it and still not fixed its hard to contact them they don't return calls they when you do get on to them they tell you they will sort it out and ring you back guess what they never ring you back if you want solar use someone else i'm about you use a company that comes and fixes solar inverters I can't see solar power nation ever fixing any system that brakes down in the years to come i dont think they will be around that long stay away from them. Show additional informationEasy process, extremely competitive price, very professional installers
It was very easy to get in touch with the company and get different quotes for different panels and inverters. I’m very happy with the price and the installation is very neat. The installers are polite, professional and very well organised. They brought all the panels here the night before to save time the next morning. The installation took about 3 hours and everything looks very well put. No problem so far and on a perfect sunny day I produce 5kw easily! I’m very happy with the result and I definitely recommend Solar Power Nation (it was previously already recommended to me by a friend). Show additional informationPoor service poor quality
Was told they offer great customer service after reading poor reviews.They also said poor reviews were written by competitors.
Took my money and never booked anything in for 3 months.
Never returned calls and emails. Didn’t want to give my money back.
Then I found out the quality of the system isn’t very good so a blessing in disguise I guess Show additional information
SolarQuotes was very helpful in getting us started on our solar experience and was a great place to answer a lot of our questions.
Went with our chosen supplier mostly on price, but have been happy with the installation and system. Show additional information

Won't Refund Deposit
I have been trying to get a refund of my deposit for over 12 months...I have spoken to several different people and they say the same thing.... ohh sorry we will do it straight away...still waiting.
Very bad company and would definitely NOT USE. Show additional information
They needed to work on their customer service in the office but actual installation workmanship was very good

Great Installers, LOUSY After Sales Service
Ordered my system from SPN in October 2018, after many phone calls re installation date got it installed Aust Day January 26, 2019. Great installers, finished before lunch, then went on and did another installationSystem started tripping out after 19 days operation.
After repeated calls (100) and emails (25) to them a technician finally came on June 1 and diagnosed an inverter failure due to too many panels on one string, thus overloading inverter balance. Goodwe sent a new inverter but no joy getting it re installed.
Repeated calls to SPN ignored.
I went to Fair Trading and got a hearing, SPN were sent a tribunal hearing date and amazingly managed to ring me within 20 minutes of receiving Fair Trading's Email. Technician came and fitted new inverter and changed panel configuration. System appears to be working fine so far.
Was promised that I would get a return call or e-mail after the installation, but as usual NO-ONE from SPN returns your call unless they are after a payment. Show additional information
Beautiful Installation. Prompt Service. INCREDIBLE Value for Money.
For anyone interested in Solar Power Nation. I can give you my thoughts.I took up the $2.5k offer for 24x 275w panels and a 5kw inverter, fully installed. I inquired on Thursday, 19th September. After a dozen or so emails back and forth from saleman, and then two or three phone calls, I made the deposit on Wednesday, 25th September.
I received a phone call on the 1st of October from another salesman saying that the panels will be installed tomorrow (2nd of October), and that my panels were upgraded, free of charge, from ET panels to Canadian Solar 285w panels (which I was stoked with, Canadian Solar are ranked in the top 10 globally).
They submitted the paperwork to Energex, as well as contacting my energy provider to come out and put in a smart meter. I didn't have to do anything - very professional of them.
My panels were just installed then. Two guys rocked up about 9am this morning with a truck. One was very experienced, and the other an apprentice. They were not electricians, but definitely knew what they were doing. Took them about 4 hours to complete. I am VERY happy with the job, all neat and tidy, and looks very good. Panels were all brand new, and boxed up on a pallet.
Electrician is coming out tomorrow to install my inverter (SunGrow SG5KTL-D).
Overall, I cannot complain (so far) about Solar Power Nation. They were prompt, professional and the job looks good. Curious to see once inverter and smart meter are in, how much power my panels are producing. Show additional information
RUBBISH RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
Stay away, run for your life, cheap is nasty, the system was installed in May 2019 and failed 1st September 2019, I have made 12 calls to date and nothing, no call back, nothing, every call I have promised a call back from service within an hour 16 days and still nothing, time for a visit face to face Wetheril Park. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY Show additional informationPathetic after-sales support. Inverter Faulty (supposedly brand new). Solar Power Nation will not replace.
Hello,I was originally impressed with this company with the solar power panel system that I got a second one for my daughter.
Now I am pulling my hair out. This is because there is zero after-sales support. I am even having issues with Solar Power Nation honouring the terms of the warranty.
This is my problem. One of the 5 Kw Goodwe inverters failed within days of installation. It is supposed to be a brand new inverter. Solar Power Nation reassured me they will attend to the matter promptly. But this solar power panel System was installed almost 6 month ago and Solar Power Nation is dragging its feet. It has come to the stage that there is now no communication as Solar Power Nation ignores the emails sent to them.
Buyers beware. It is generally a good system with generally good installers, but Solar Power Nation will not honour the warranty for replacement of defective 5 Kw Goodwe inverter. If the solar panels were to fail, I don't think they would honour the warranty for the solar panels too. Show additional information
Very bad installation and after service care
The installation wasn’t done correctly. No proper response from the company to get the issue fixed. It has been 8 months I have been in touch with the company. But still the issue didn’t get resolved. Not at all acceptable. Show additional informationGreat to deal with, wonderful price. No hesitation to recommend. Thanks Solar Power Nation.
Great price, great communication, great installation, speedy installation. Easy and friendly to deal with. Show additional information
Paid $100 deposit on 31/10/18 ... no communication for 3 months, so I gave them till 31/1/19 otherwise I would cancel.
Still no definite date for install after I contacted them around 25/1/19
So I went to another installer instead, which I would 100% recommend.
Still waiting for my $100 refund ? Show additional information

I went with SPN after trying for 18 months to get solar.
I had tried another company, was screwed around for some months until they found a local installer. Their local installer flatout refused to do the job and they cancelled me.
I had then tried another, they engaged the same installer who again refused to do the job, they said they'd find another installer but never did and 9 months later went into administration and cancelled me.
My house is not particularly difficult, it's just a standard 2 story place with a tile roof (the other companies charged additional fees to account for this).
I went with SPN mainly due to price, I had cold feet about it going in considering the negative reviews I read but the sales guy (Ken) was pushy and convinced me with a low risk deposit amount. I signed up under an approx $3000 deal for 6.6kw with 5kw inverter on my tile 2 story roof, with a decent amount of travel from their base (4-5 hours away) and was quoted a 4-6 week installation timeframe.
I will NOT say that SPN are great communicators post sale, I had to chase them for updates and I deal with a few different arms of the business in terms of providing the information required to get my install process on track. I disliked the fact I feel Ken (sale guy) and then Alan (operations) over committed often with installation dates that kept getting missed and this had me exceedingly worried that I was being taken for a ride.
I had originally was quoted on GoodWe inverter and ET solar panels, but due to stock/availability problems I accepted changes to instead receive Eging panels and a Sungrow inverter. I would say if you're not flexible for the products you end up being different than the original quote then may have issues and these guys are not for you. To clarify, the changes I had were either direct sidegrades or slight upgrades, and I accepted and confirmed the change prior to installers being sent.
I would have preferred to be given tentative or "probable but dependent on stock arriving" timeframes, and can appreciate they were waiting for several people in my area to be ready to make it a worthwhile trip....I just wanted to not be "promised" an installation date to have it missed it time and again. Even when I was given a final firm install date and handed over to the installation team that was coming onsite I was still 50/50 on whether they were going to show up or not...that was the extent of the credibility the SPN sales team had established (my own cynicism and past experience with other companies may have contributed to this feeling).
However, it turns out I had nothing to worry about and it was smooth sailing from here on out. My installation team leader was Abdul, and him and his team were nothing less that professional. Abdul called me the evening before to again confirm the install the next day and advised a rough time of when they were going to arrive, he called me again the day of the install prior to arriving. Once on site the did a quick recce and confirmed with me regarding panel placement, where conduit could/should be run, inverter placement etc, asked about spare tiles and when I advised I had no spare he said they would move any they break to my garage roof so I could replace them more easily when I got replacements (tile breakages are a fact of life, it happens often with any drilling work on them) however luckily there were no breakages on my roof.
After this they got straight to work efficiently and professionally, and continued until the job was done 4-5 hours later. When they were complete they cleaned up as good as, if not better than any other tradie I've seen. The installation was the smoothest part of the experience and the completed job was neat and tidy, and to be honest looks a lot better and neater than some of the local installs around town. I'd upload pictures here if I could, and I'd expect them to be proud of the job except I got the impression from them that this is their standard level of work.
I left this review to provide an honest account of my own experiences with Solar Power Nation, especially given the range of mixed reviews around the web and the fact that not many of the reviews (both good and bad) had much content to them and there seems to be a lot of seemingly fake reviews to boost or destroy ratings and reputation (in general).
Even given the uncertainty I had during the sales and scheduling process I'd use Solar Power Nation again and would recommend them based on my overall experience and the fact that their price can't be beaten. Show additional information

Stay away from these people!!!! they just steal your money. I placed a deposit of 10% for my 6KW system in September 2018 and still i can't get an installation date nor a refund of my money after requesting it in writing plus so many phone calls to them. It's has been more then 7 months now since placed the deposit and I have given up on trying to contact them. This company shouldn't even be trading.

It was around November last year when I paid deposit to book the system for installation and until March nothing happened.
I tried calling them and each person I spoke with came with different answer and different excuses for delay.
I tried to call them and follow at least 3 times a week. I couldn't get anywhere finally I decided to give up and cancel everything.
It took more almost 2-3 weeks to get my deposit back.
I would not recommend this company to anyone.
They are promising something that they cannot deliver and directly lying to the customer each and every time you call them to follow. be careful guys try to search online and make sure to do your research before deciding to go with this company.
I have got documented everything from day first and also the amount of calls every single day I had to make and follow without any result. Show additional information

Warning! Under no circumstances use this company. Their business practices are questionable! 12 weeks of emails to try and get an install date. Also, despite 7 requests in writing for a simple phone call to resolve dispute ie. where they have breached our contract, they haven't responded. Not to worry, the appropriate authorities have been contacted. Please spread the word, this is a company you should NOT use! Be warned. They promise the world and deliver nothing! Not even refunded my money despite doing nothing! Got scam written all over it!!!!

Our systems been running well the last 2 weeks. The team did a great job with the installation and we're very happy. While they couldn't fit all the panels we'd originally planned, it wasn't an issue as the system still runs well (we have an oddly shaped roof)
Within 2 weeks of our deposit the team was able to find an install date, very quick turnaround. Show additional information

Hi all,
Do not choose Solar Power Nation. I order on 28 Oct 2018 and till today 11 Feb 2019 they did not able to commit on a date to install it!
I lost the entire summer "power", I believe the company personal seems to use false names as well, as I spoke to the installers in different months and the accent and tune of the voice in each month was completely different.
I try to contact them several times and get a commitment, all the tries in vain.
Please do yourself a favor and avoid them to your own happiness. Show additional information

A few delays and rescheduled delivery times. They offered me a free upgrade for the wait. Everything went without any hassles. An extra bonus service was that the installer inspected my roof before installation and found many cracked roof tiles. I had spare roof tiles so the installer replaced them for me.
Show additional information
Everything sounded great at first, paid a deposit, promised an installation date. After that date came I called in and was told it would be delayed, new installation date not known. Called in 23 different times over the span of a month, speaking with no less than 13 different people. Felt like nobody there really knew what was going on and everyone gave different information. Frustrating experience.

I signed up with them in Nov 2018 - have been asking in an email thread spanning over 40 emails a very simple question - WHEN IS MY PROPSED DATE OF INSTALLATION??!! TILL TODAY NO ONE CAN BOTHER TO LET ME KNOW!! (11 JAN 19)
They keep saying I’ll ask my operations manager and NEVER GET BACK TO YOU until you contact them - then it’s the same cycle - ABSOLUTELY POOR and I will consider cancelling this entire deal - I explained I need to travel for work and can’t make bookings due to this! I don’t care if it gets installed 3 months into the future but least I have dates to work with! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE Show additional information

I can't fault SPN. Awesome value for money product. Mine was a straight forward installation on a new home. Installation was done by local sub-contractor who did an awesome job and left my place spotlessly clean. Only issue I had was my Electricity Retailer was slow converting my electricity meter to a bi-directional meter but that is not SPN's fault.

In researching my system I compared prices (same system) with four other installers, Solar Power Nation was the cheapest based on Solax Inverter and Jinko Panels. From the reviews on this site I realised they often did not install quickly and sometimes stretched out the time to install. I live 150km from Sydney and knew I would have to wait until they were doing other jobs in this area.
The six week promised install stretched to almost three months, during this period I made a number of emails and phone call to the sales team and was told various reasons for the delay.
The installation team did a good job, but I then had to wait a further three weeks until the electrician was working in the area, he also did a good job and was very helpful.
Using the Solax Monitoring System I found the system was resetting once the grid power exceeded 255v, I contacted the electrician and was walked through changing a few settings on the inverter and this solved the problem, they system is now working with no problems.
Bottom line I knew there would be delays, but am pleased with the price and installation. Show additional information

Good customer service. Installation was quick and hassle free, with the whole system up and running in less than a day. Came at the agreed time and cleaned up after the job.

Solar power nation was extremely unprofessional. Staff could not answer many basic questions about the system. The phone numbers provided were not answered once despite many calls at various times during the day. No calls were returned. Emails were mostly ignored or responded to very late. Every claim made by staff turned out to be false. I was given new installation day estimates which changed constantly. I was originally told 3 weeks , but after 7 weeks there was no progress at all and I was told the panels were out of stock. I had to ask for refund about 10 times. I've sent more than 30 emails and made countless calls. Terrible experience and a huge waste of time and effort. Do yourself a favour and avoid them.

Solar Power Nation were great to deal with. Apart from an initial delay between deposit and installation everything went very smoothly. The installers were very friendly and professional.

I had a good experience with Solar Power Nation. The price was very competitive and I was always kept informed if the installation timing. It was all carried out as per the schedule as promised. When I needed some follow up after the installation, Simran the after sale support officer responded very promptly and again kept me well informed. Thanks Simran.

Had our solar installed in 3- 4 weeks from initial payment in full,
I asked the installers to be careful not to break any roof tiles as we had the roof redone on a few months before hand,I told them to tell my wife if they had broken any while they were doing the installation.(yeah right )
When I got home I went to have a look at our investment ( the panels).
I noticed a lot of the panels had blemishes and marks on them, as well as 10 broken tiles, I have been in contact with the installer he told me they can fix the broken tiles with silicone ..not really what I wanted to hear, and about the panels he told me to contact Solar Power Nation it has been more than a month ago this is the reply I received (There is insurance for installation nothing to worry about will fix your problem thanks. )
Please be aware and don’t go through what I did with Solar Power Nation!
Just found out our solar system was installed on 26.4.18 today is 6.7.18 our energy company hasn’t been notified of the install, and the electrical inspector hasn’t been to check the work!
And we are not making any $$$

I would like to start with positively by saying their quote was the cheapest but probably the rest of the experience was not so good.
Here are the problems we have with the installation:
1. Water leakage after the installation.
2. Wires connecting each row of the panel are touching to the roof. I get to know that it is not as per the standard and due to the high temperature of the tiles in summer it can use the wire to burn and lead to burning the whole place
3. Some minor issues like mounting which panel rests on are not cut consistently (poor workmanship) i.e. some are a quite long one side
At one point it looked like they are out of business as I could not reach them from any of their phones no or any of their email addresses or their key sales guy as Mac Guru 0426136262) or their technician Noor as well as contacting them through the "contact us" from their website for several weeks.
Thanks to SolarQuote I was able to find their key person's contact details and I believe just because I mentioned that I got their contact details from SolarQuotes I received the reply first time that they are able to fix those issue but will result in costing $250 even if the documentation I have received from the company states that it includes 10 years Installation and workmanship warranty.
After the Solar panel was laid the person (Usman) who has done the major work to our place confessed that he is not CEC Certified and work for the minimum wage on cash shifts bases. If I knew before then I would not have gone with them
Any suggestion to deal with the situation appreciated. Show additional information

Thanks to SolarQuote I was able to find their key person's contact details and I believe just because I mentioned that I got their contact details from SolarQuotes I received the reply first time that they are able to fix those issue but will result in costing $250 even if the documentation I have received from the company states that it includes 10 years Installation and workmanship warranty.
After the Solar panel was laid the person (Usman) who has done the major work to our place confessed that he is not CEC Certified and work for the minimum wage on cash shifts bases. If I knew before then I would not have gone with them
Any suggestion to deal with the situation appreciated. Show additional information
Quoted the best price in the first call. No one was able to match it. Installation was done within 3 weeks of the order. It took another week for AGL to do the process on their side but all in all a very good experience with Garry and his team. He tends to be bit pushy, but at the end gets the job done.
Will surely recommend the company. Show additional information
