Excellent service and good value

Great service from quote to installation. Very helpful in identifying suitable system and completed the install within their estimated time frame (and squeezed in before the xmas break). Install was quick and minor issues with inverter wifi resolved within a couple of days. Helped to liaise with SA power networks to get new meter installed on same day. Service working well to date - would strongly recommend!

Friendly, efficient, courteous and helpful installers.

The quoting process was clear. the installation went smoothly and efficiently. The team arrived punctually, were friendly and kept me updated on how work was progressing. They were polite and courteous and when they left, I had not a bit of tidying to do. The electrician helped me set up the App on my phone and all is well. Original ratings

Thoroughly recommended

I've been putting off installing solar panels for a long time. My official excuse was that I was waiting for the cost of batteries to come down but I think the real reason was that solar panel installers got a bad rap quite a few years ago, being seen as "snake oil salesmen" by many, when there were all sorts of government grants and subsidies.

Having dealt with Solar Wholesalers I can say that my fears were unfounded and nothing could be further from the truth (at least in my dealings with them) and they were extremely professional and helpful in explaining the intricacies of solar panels and batteries.

I now have a fully functioning system that I'm very happy with, no more electricity bills (hopefully) and half the power I'm generating is going back into the grid (and I'm making money on it, subsidising the installation cost).

It's a win-win!

Longterm industry player not a fly by nighter

I have used Solar Wholesalers both for my home and work office. Very professional and great to deal with.

Seamless and Efficient Installation, Excellent Communication

Efficient response to our enquiry and thorough explanation of the available options. Once selected, the installation team did an excellent job on an extremely hot day and were very helpful and fast. The communication between the office, the installation team and us was outstanding.

Quick, efficient installation

The quoting process was fine - similar to others that we've dealt with but I was impressed with the detail and the company's capacity to pre-empt questions. We had to wait a while for installation after paying the deposit; fortunately the team were able to squeeze us in on short notice (no problem with that, by the way). The lads who did the installation were friendly and efficient and consulted us on all aspects of the process. The office followed up next day to check on how things went. Now just waiting for the new meter so that we can start using the system.

Great Pre-Sales Support with Excellent Installation Quality

The sales process was simpe and straight forward. It began with an half an hour phone conversation to ascertain my requiremtns from the system and to answer any questions I had. Follow up questions were answered propmptly and to the point.

The installers were great Working at 35 degree heat they started early and completed the work by 3pm. The electrical work looked clean and organised. The panels were neatly placed according to plan. No visible cables or loose ends. The system was up and running by the end of the day.

The installers checked the system was working as expected. I received the SolarEdge account and was able to check the solar production and energy consumption.

No fuss installation!

I found dealing with Solar Wholesalers was easy and stress free right from the start. I had some rather naive questions to begin with that the salesperson respectfully discussed with me to improve my understanding of the choices of panels, racking and inverters available. The job entailed removing an old system before installing the new and the whole process was accomplished efficiently and effectively. Thank you to all at Solar Wholesalers who assisted me in this significant purchase.

A great experience Solar Wholesalers!

Peter was good at explaining the detail and provided information quickly as promised. My questions were answered in a format that I understood. The installation went smoothly as planned. I was supported to log on to the monitoring system by the electrician. Overall the customer service was excellent at all stages of the project.

Second time happy customer

We used Solar Wholesalers for our first system in 2018, and when it came time to install a system in a new house we had no hesitation in using them again, after seeking a couple of quotes of course. They offered the best price for the kind of system we need, the staff have been unfailingly friendly and helpful, and willing to answer all questions. The installers were also excellent on the day, assisting us to decide on the exact configuration for the panels, and getting the job done without fuss or mess.

Perfect Every Step Of The Way

From the moment I called to talk about the system at 4:45 one afternoon to the installation, everyone was very helpful. They made sure we understood everything that we were getting. They didn't want to upsell us to a system that wouldn't have benefited us anymore than what we purchased. The admin staff were helpful with everything admin. The guys that installed made sure we were happy with the location of inverters and panels. Overall a great experience and I would recommend Solar Wholesalers

Very happy customer

Solar Wholesalers installed 2 systems for us, both installations went very well. I was impressed with the installation teams they were professional, polite, efficient and cleaned up after the install. The pricing was very competitive and their communication with me was exceptional. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to my friends and family.

Fantastic installer

The installer are fantastic. They are professional, efficient and knowledgeable. They are very patient to answer my inquiries. One of the staff Matt helped me to set up my Solar Web app step by step after installation . They took off the shoes when walking into the house to avoid making any mess. Thanks so much for their fantastic work. It’s a great idea to install solar panels and great choice to choose Solar Wholesalers.

Excellent installation and setup for a replacement system.

Our 6kW 'Fronius' based installation was a replacement for an older, smaller system, and consisted of two 'strings' of panels, an inverter and a 'smart meter'. We initially looked into getting a battery system, but life intervened and found a better use for the extra dollars involved in this option. We still have the option of adding the batteries later on with this system, though. I actually had a good idea about the system I wanted, and approached a couple of installers for their comments on my ideas and an indication of pricing, Both the sales-people I talked with were informative and courteous, and provided extra information to help me reach a decision.

The team of installers arrived exactly on time, and got to work as soon as they had scoped the job. Our old system came off, the new system went on, with only a minor hiccup with getting larger cables through the small spaces within the walls. That was expertly resolved, and in a few hours the system was producing (and exporting) energy. There was a minor bug in the inverter connection to the remote web site, but that was fixed after consulting the manufacturer, (a software update?) and the inverter is now running at full throttle.

The app to access the inverter's operation is pretty easy to use; I have it running full time on my office PC. The installer explained how to set it up and access the performance data on both a phone and a PC, and with a little digging thru the user accessible menus, I found the technical data reporting and graphing system, which is very comprehensive.

All told, we are very happy with both the install and the solar energy system. The team got into the job, and just kept going until it was finished. They cleaned up the site when they had finished, were not unnecessarily noisy while they were working, and impressed me as being an efficient, competent team. The equipment certainly seems to be high quality, and to work quietly and without fuss or intervention. I would cheerfully recommend both the installers and the equipment to anyone who is considering replacing an old system or installing a new one.

Once again extremely happy!!

This is the second time we have used Solar Wholesalers and once again they were fantastic. We just installed 2 batteries at different properties and replaced an old solar at one property.

From the quoting stage right through to the installation and payment everything went smoothly. From our city property to our country beach house nothing was too much trouble. Both properties were left very clean at the installation, and time was taken to ensure I understood the app.

The sales team and follow up after installation again were fantastic. Very knowledgeable and happy to answer all questions.

I highly recommend Solar Wholesalers

Great service

We dealt with Peter from Solar Wholesalers who went through a number of different options on systems that might suit our needs. We settled on one that he recommended that was neither the largest or most expensive. We gained quotes from 3 other installers and decided on Solar Wholesalers as their quote was in the middle and they are a local business and as it turned out come with glowing endorsements from neighbours who have dealt with them.
Tha actual installation was a week earlier than expected and the guys that did the install were great. They were on time, friendly and professional, worked quickly and tidied up afterwards. Shame I can't remember their names but we were very happy with them and the whole process.
Would highly recommend this company.

Excellent Install by a Very Professional team

Words don't seem adequate when giving the deserved "Gold Star" Rating to the wonderful TEAM at Solar Wholesalers!
From my initial contact with Peter Sendy, in the design/sales area, the communication through the office team to the arrival of the install team ready to start work, the whole process has been amazing, and I have to say everything proceeded without any hiccups or issues of any kind.
The install team were very professional and the work ethic they displayed was exemplary, which is a credit to all within what must be a wonderful company and great place to work. And: I the customer was the beneficiary of this great group of happy people from the Solar Wholesalers Team.
An 11/10 for the whole job and the installed products:

Great outcome

Great outcome - very simple, straightforward and professional process from quotation right through to installation. Our install took nearly 12 months from the time of quotation to install completion due to a prolonged build time for our extension. The Solar Wholesalers team were fantastic - nothing was too much trouble. They were onsite on 3 separate occasions over the course of our building process - firstly to remove the old system, then to position the rail brackets prior to roof painting then finally to complete the new install. Throughout this time they maintained regular contact and communicated clearly when work was to be undertaken. Installers were prompt, very professional and knowledgeable.
A great local business who obviously take customer service and satisfaction very seriously. Their quote was very competitive and their patience with our prolonged install was much appreciated. I was prompted to contact them through word of mouth from another very satisfied client and would have no hesitation recommending them to anyone who is considering a solar project.

Professional service throughout

Simply professional and seamless customer service from start to finish. Helped us understand all the jargon in simplified terms. Very happy with the installation and the installers were professional and polite in every aspect and you would not even know they were there as the site was left as clean as before they arrived. - Happy days :-)

A pleasure to deal with every step of the way

After getting quotes from a few places we decided to choose solar wholesalers in mount barker due to word of mouth reviews given to us by 5 other people we know used them.

The sales/quoting process was extremely easy and over the phone. Quotes were quick and easy and there was no sales tricks. They were very transparent, this is what we would recommend and this is what it will cost.

Another company we got a quote from took the “this is what it will cost you but if we give you this discount and this one and because it’s this time of year I can give you a mangers discount” etc etc approach, I was not a fan.

We got a byd battery as well which involved the extra step of getting one of there electrians out to have a look at placement before the install.

Installation was great and the installers and electrican were extremely nice and knew exactly what they were doing. They did a great job of cleaning up after themselves. I think it really makes a difference that the installers and electricians are actually employed by the company and aren’t contractors. They arrived on time.

Customer service along the way has been excellent, any questions we had promptly answered, this makes us feel good should we need assistance in the future.

If your considering solar/batteries do your self a favour and just call solar wholesalers, you will be pleased you did.

Great service.

Great service, every one from quoting admin and install was helpful friendly and they all did a little bit extra than was expected. The quoting process was very informative and they spent the time to make sure I understood the reasons behind their suggestions. The admin staff were helpful and efficient and just made everything happen. The installers were great guys and took pride in what they were doing and even took the effort to tidy up previous trades work leaving the areas they worked on better than when they started. We are very happy with the system that they have installed. We have a lot of trees so added optimisers to protect the panels and help electricity generation which has increased the overall price.

Very happy - excellent service

We recently had an 11.6KW system installed by Solar Wholesalers and couldn't be happier with the experience. We received the quote and detailed information without delay, and Sam and the team were always quick to answer our questions to help with the decision making process. The installation itself seemed quite straightforward and there was very little for us to do. The system is performing very well so far, and I'm loving the SolarEdge app so we can monitor our energy generation and usage!

Professional and Seamless Service

Recommended to me by my neighbour. I sourced 3 quotes from different providers and found Solar Wholesalers to be the quickest, friendliest and best priced. There was no hard sell. Sam was helpful with any queries and gave the advice that I needed to make the best decision for me.

When I was ready to proceed, Matt came out to discuss the installation and inspect the roof, meter box etc. He too was friendly and informative, and gave me the confidence to accept their quote over others

A few weeks later Tim and Elliot arrived and installed the system. I am now enjoying the savings.
Thank you to the whole team. I highly recommend them.

Very Professional Company

From five companies who gave us quotes, we chose Solar Wholesalers to supply and install our solar system. They were not the cheapest, but we had checked companies carefully, and people who had used them generally gave very positive feedback, including three who became repeat customers when they moved residences. We are completely satisfied with the company, from their own trained installers who were very professional, friendly, careful, ever helpful, and obviously experts at their job, through to the front office staff who have often made contact via email, to make sure all is well, and to check we are making the best use of our system. They helped us every step of the process.

Solar Wholesalers installed a system on our house in Adelaide in 2009 and it’s still running flawlessly, which is why we chose them to install the system on our house on the coast.
The guys were extremely friendly and very professional, resulting in a beautiful install (I wish the NBN install could have matched their quality!!).

Fantastic and smooth Installation

Solar Wholesalers are excellent and professional. Their office staff, Peter, Colleen and Carrie are very helpful and the installers, especially Dylan, know the system very well and answered all my queries.
I would definitely recommend them for solar system installation. They offer quality product and excellent service, call these guys!

Looking forward to installing a Tesla battery in future also through solar wholesalers?

Excellent team

Solar Wholesalers were recommended to me by 2 separate friends completely independently of one another. The process of developing and quoting a solution, installation and follow up has been superb.
All communication was prompt and accurate, especially when taking into account the long delays from initial quote to power online due to my extended home build.
They guided us through the process with the retailer and never made us feel like we were a burden. Thank you!
