Speedy install, fantastic communicators and great customer service
- Solar gain were the last to provide us with a quote (we had about 7 or 8 installers provide quotes). I feel that they were the only ones who really listened to what we wanted to get out of our new system and designed it accordingly. They inspected the property, gave an overview of a number of different options, demoed their apps and gave pros and cons of each. They responded to every question I had on the day, and were always happy to answer the phone when I had further queries. We had conflicting advice from a number of installers and Solargain were only 1 of 2 that I truly trusted and had confidence in.The install went really well. They were punctual and worked non stop. The system was installed very quickly. Very polite and friendly. Cleaned up after themselves and double and triple checked everything.
Customer service was great the whole way through. Very responsive and always happy to talk through questions/concerns. We had a very minor issue with some minor cosmetic damage to the battery cover/faceplate and Solargain were very quick to accept responsibility and rectify the issue. They take pride in their work and we're keen to ensure the problem was resolved.
After install they ran me through how to setup and use the Tesla app.

An ambition achieved
Solargain responded promptly to a request for a quote. Quotes were received from two other suppliers but Solargain was the only one to visit our site which I felt was important to gain a proper understanding of requirements.Installation occurred sooner than I had expected and the team worked hard for a day and a half. Work was neatly finished, all waste removed and the installers were all friendly and efficient. Explanation of the operation of the equipment was adequate and electrical inspection occurred soon after.
One other factor that helped in choosing Solargain for our installation was that they were able to provide non-Tesla products (we did not want to support Elon Musk due to his recent behaviours).

Professional Installer
Solargain visited our home, carried out a thorough inspection of our electrical fuse box to ensure that it had the capacity rating to handle the Solar panel and battery system. They also inspected the roof to ensure that the panels could be fastened to it and the garage area to house the inverter and battery systems. Once that was complete Solargain explained to us what was feasible and they listened to our requirements and needs. They then suggested the system and what it may cost. They told us about the State and Federal Government rebate schemes. A firm quotation and then installation followed.The quotation procedure was professional, the agent listened , was not overbearing and was very polite.
Solargain organised all the connection details. The installation process was also professional and on time, The install team were knowledgeable, explained fully what and why they were carrying out their tasks at the Switch board, Inverter Battery and Solar Panels Installs. The team had great inter personal skills, were well trained and well led on site.

Solar install in remote Eastern Victoria
SolarGain were always prompt with any enquiries I made and in fact were the only installer who gave me any meaningful answers about my system design.They helped with the government rebates and system design.
On the day 6 tradies in a van turned up and got to work. 7 hours and the system was done ready to be turned on. It was a hot day, 35°C and even hotter on the roof I bet.
My install was non-standard, but after the site visit they stood by the original quote.
It’s all tested, certified and running perfectly.

Solargain Gippsland - wouldn't recommend anyone else.
I highly recommend the team from Solargain Gippsland. From coming to the house to see what was needed for the installation before the quote was prepared to the time the Installation team left.Out of the 3 companies that I contacted they were the only one that came to the house to see what was needed to do an install before the quote was prepared. The other two only worked off Google maps.
The Operations Manager, Ben came and inspected the property, listened to what we wanted and where we wanted to place panels and sent us several quotes to work off until we got what we were happy with.
Wait time for the install was acceptable after paying the deposit and Jamie and his team arrived on the week that was scheduled. They were very professional and had the old system removed and the new one installed in a day & a half.
I was very impressed on how well they all worked as a team.
Everything about the Inverter App was explained and worked through with me, as well as the Catch Relay App for the Hot water. Everyone was friendly and helpful and took time to explain anything you asked.
I would recommend Solargain to anyone that is looking at getting a Solar System installed.

Fantastic company to deal with.
Quoting service was great & Ben was available for any questions. Installation went smoothly. Grid connection took 2 weeks and all is well.Would recommend Solargain Bairnsdale to others.

13.2kW - 30 x 440 Trina and Fronius Gen 24 Primo Battery ready
Solargain Bairnsdale have been great to work with all Local workers in their Team. They were efficient and very neat - had no problems with achieving the Solar Inspection and receiving the compliance certificate. They used high quality racking and installed the panels in an order we requested to keep them as cool as possible by leaving a gap between each array.We will be buying our battery system from them in a couple of years - can recommend Solargain Bairnsdale to anyone.
We are now self sufficient with solar and backup generator. We didn't need to install a solar hot water service - we have 13.2kW of solar power which heats out resistive Rinnai 315 hot water system during the day through switching installed by Solargain Bairnsdale. We also have a 7kVa Honda Inverter Generator which is now hard wired into our switchboard by Solargain Bairnsdale. There price was more than competitive with other installers - but their happy work ethics was a pleasure to watch.

Helpful
Solargain Gippsland were very helpful and punctual. Ben came out to my property and answered all my questions in regard to placement and limitations of panels and hardware. He also organised a new hot water service at the same time.Work went quickly and no mess left. Very clean. Only thing I didn't get was the phone app to check the power usage/generated.

Fantastic service
I had a fantastic experience with SolarGain Gippsland. The sales and quoting process was straightforward and informative, making it easy to understand my options. Ash in customer service was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. The installation crew was not only polite and punctual but also did a great job cleaning up after themselves. They even assisted with organising the grid connection and showed me how to use the charger. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the service!17 October 2024
True professionals
From the initial enquiry, through installation and follow up completion Solargain Gippsland were prompt, friendly, efficient and very easy to deal with. I would recommend them to anyone consider installing a solar energy system or heat pump. In one word - excellent!14 October 2024
Excellent service and professional team
We recently had a PV system installed by Solargain Gippsland, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Ben was fantastic to deal with from start to finish, helping us design a system that perfectly suited our needs. The team used high-quality Fronius equipment, and the install team was professional, efficient, and left everything neat and tidy. Highly recommend Solargain Gippsland for anyone looking to invest in solar – they made the whole process smooth and hassle-free!Panel rating: 5/5

Great service
Quoting service was easy and understandable for the lay person, the installation was done in one day and they were polite and tidy. The customer service was excellent, we did not have to do much at all, it was taken care of for us. From the start of installation to now waiting on our service provider to finalise their part has only taken one week. Very impressed.24 July 2024
Solar
From the quoting process onwards the team at Solargain were fantastic. They answered all the questions that I had. The install team were great and very friendly, explaining all the functions of the inverter and battery. We are still to have our system commissioned as yet.18 June 2024

Great service from Quote to Installation
Quote received same day as visit. Sales Person got onto roof for inspection rather than rely on Google picture of roof. Installation date was set and crew arrived on time. Gave an overview of the process, kept us informed of the timelines, cleaned up and demonstrated the inverter shut down start up procedure, and the smart meter.12 April 2024

Good installation
Quoting process excellentOffice people excellent
Great installation polite, tidy, punctual and organized grid connection but never got back to me with a problem I had in that when I bought the house the previous owner had the old system wired to only use solar excess on the hot water like a diverter does and now they've added the extra system the hot water comes on ANYTIME even on the dearest rate!
I've ordered a green catch diverter and in the meantime been manually switching the hot water on at 10 am
10 months later we asked Peter : "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes performing great but a suggestion for solar Installers to make themselves more familiar with hot water diverters as I got someone else to install a greec catch diverter and after setting it on sola only don't get a sec bill now it's just the best thing and I read about it in one of your articles as they're great too !!With most people getting bigger systems these days I don't know why people don't get resistive instead of heat pump and government only gives subsidies for heat pumps!

Great service and follow up
Both sales and quoting where excellent, they were very helpful, answering all our questions and concerns. We also went for a new hot water system connected to the unit. I would have no problem recommending Solargain. System is not yet installed due to current work load.10 months later we asked Greg: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Very much so, we have seen the difference it is making to our bills. Changing the way we us electricity in our home has been perhaps a challenge but it has proven to be the way to go when we installed our system, use itwhen the sun shines not in the dark with on sun.02 August 2023

Highly recommend, great service from start to finish
SolarGain was initially referred to us through Solar Quotes and accepting their quote was easy to make due to their professionalism and great customer service. Jacqui at SolarGain Gippsland was so easy to deal with and took us through every step when making the application for our rebate from Vic Solar. Jeremy, the installer/electrician was also very obliging and friendly and explained everything we needed to know about our solar installation. I would definitely recommend SolarGain Gippsland and will be returning to them when we are ready to install a battery to our system.23 June 2023
Great installation from start to finish.
I contacted Solargain Bairnsdale after unsuccessful attempts to obtain a quote from another local solar installer.Jacqui arranged for Matt to come out the next morning. Matt discussed our requirements, designed the system and had our quote completed on the spot. We accepted the quote and the system was installed 6 weeks later.
Daniel and his installation team were very professional, explained how the system works and the process involved in connecting to the grid. Jacqui was vey helpful and knowledgeable in answering any questions I had during the process.
I would highly recommend Solargain Bairnsdale to anyone in the region looking to install solar.

Friendly Crew, Job well done!
Crew arrived on time and worked as a team to get the job done in fairly windy conditions. Whole crew were very friendly. A very tidy install and I'm pleased with the result.
03 May 2023
Very professional
Considering that there is no other installer available in my area they are one of the most professional company that I’ve dealt with. They turned up when they said they would and every time I had a question they got back to me straight away. I would have no hesitation in recommending the whole company20 April 2023
Faultless from start to finish
From the initial quote and explanation to someone who had little knowledge of solar, to the installation team, all went exactly as per plan.Every time I had another question it was answered.
Solargain arranged for the grid connection and connection with power retailer.

Original Review on 18-05-2022:
Local, costly but provides peace of mind.
6.6kw Installation and commission proceeded as planned.I already had a 5kw Sungrow storage system in place and was limited for space in my switchboard.
By going with another Sungrow inverter I was able to leverage off my existing consumption smart meter and integrate into my existing phone based app.
Ben the system designer allowed for an additional break out box as a Plan B if the integration to the one meter was not successful.
The installation team were very efficient and left every thing in a very clean and tidy state.
Solargain arranged for the Electrical Inspection and my new system is now up and running.
As I had previously accessed the Victorian Solar Program I was not entitled to any rebates beyond the STCs.
I did pursue five other quotes some which were circa $3k cheaper, however I decided to stick with the local supplier that I knew had been in business for a while.
10 months later we asked Geoff : "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes, I have been able to run my new spa at very little or no cost. Plenty of power available except on the heaviest of overcast days.

Excellent service from start to finish
Matt came out to see us and was extremely knowledgeable and great to deal withJacqui followed up on everything and was so outstanding, Jacqui let nothing undone - great will all communication.
Daniel and his team installed the panels on a warm day, they were a credit to young people so respectful.
Fabulous experience from start to finish - thank you so much.

Perfect experience
Everything was amazing, from the first day of quotes to the final end result.I was quoted back in October and the install finished early Feb.
The experience is honestly a full 20/20 stars but I have to do 4/5 for value only because I myself didn't look around more to know if the price I paid for the system was good value or not. My friends and family in other states and areas told me what they paid for their and I wondered if I had done more looking maybe!
But no regrets going with solargain, I can highly recommend them
Thanks again!

An incentive was offered by Solargain Gippsland for this review. Learn more here.
Highly recommended
All communication was timely. Our requirements were taken note of and the company was prepared to make some adjustments to panel angles part way through installation at our request. Installers were on time, courteous and tidied up each day of the three day installation. The company supported us in organising the grid connection. The system was clearly explained to us.We chose this company because of the high standard of service at the sales/quotation stage. The company representation took the time to listen to our requirements and discuss possibilities. His knowledge of the product and the industry in general was very apparent. This company was also the only one recommended by SolarQuotes in our area and although we spoke to two other companies, Solargain was the obvious choice for us and their quote was competitive.

Excellent
Our experience with Solargain Gippsland was extremely positive. From Ben at the quoting stage to the communication with the rebates and the installation we could not fault. The team were very polite, tidy and professional in every aspect of our dealing with the company, and Jeremy was very patient with the handover and app explanation.11 November 2022

I really appreciate a company that is on time, and they were. When I had a query, it was answered quickly. The installation looks very good and everything works perfectly.
