Great service, prompt and delivered a viable and cost effective solution.

They responded quickly, installation was faultless and they informed me throughout. On tone and good follow up. They arranged the grid connection and showed me how it worked. They advised they would follow up in twelve months to see how it was going.

The gain is all mine

Sales was very helpful, talked me through the whole process and helped me through the paperwork process, so I was left feeling happy with my choice. Installation was brilliant, they talked me through every stage of installation where everything would go etc. They were quick, very tidy and cheerful, couldn't have asked for better, thanks guys, great job.

Perfect install

The salesman was knowledgeable and helpful, without being pushy and had all the paperwork including the subsidies done in one day.

The installation team were punctual, quick and efficient and the young man who came the day after to connect the system to the Internet was knowledgeable and most courteous, without being condescending (my wife and I are both in our late 70s.)

I could not recommend them highly enough

Great customer service by salesperson and installation staff.

Sales quoting was good. Included metre box upgrade and sales person visited site to assist with inspection which we appreciated.
Installation team were very good. A complicated job with old wiring but they were very thorough and completed a great job. Site was cleaned up after job which I thought was very professional and a good rap for the company. I have heard of other companies leaving all the packaging behind.

Absolutely the best solar company I've ever dealt with

We didn't go with the cheapest quote but with the company we felt the most comfortable with and who really listened to what we needed. Julian, our solar specialist was great to deal with, nothing was too hard and dealt with in a very timely manner. He was very polite, friendly and professional all whilst making us feel totally at ease with our choice. The whole prices was seemless and cyborgs very quickly. Installers were tidy, punctual and respectful of us and our property.
This is my 3rd solar system and I've spoken with many solar retailers over the years and these guys are definitely the best by far.
Would recommend Solargain Hastings to anyone wanting a solar system that is quality and a great team behind the system. 6 stars from us

Professional sales and installation team

Such a professional team. Nothing was an issue. Everything explained so well by the sales guy, Will and we asked him lots of questions, on multiple occasions until we decided to go ahead. Very competitive on pricing. The installation crew matched this, punctual, respectful, explained everything to me. Experienced team. We got other electrical work done on the property at the same time, that other electricians previously didn’t seem keen to do- nothing seemed an issue for these guys. We are now getting a battery and using the same team again. Thank you!

Excellent Sales and Service Provision

The sales and quoting process was unique and quick. Distinct from other competitors, it involved a site visit and on site quote with everything taken into account. Consequently no changes or variations were required to their original quote. The installation process was scheduled in advance, the installers were punctual, competent, polite and informative throughout. Customer service throughout was excellent. They organised the grid connection and inspection which occurred approximately 5 days after installation had been completed.

Great installation, some unresolved issues however.

Sales experience was top notch, Bryn was very knowledgeable and no BS. Accounts let the team down as I had to chase up whether payment was received.
The installers were very efficient and did a very neat installation.
This system was installed to add to an existing 2.5kw array. I have been having problems with the new inverter shutting down when the Fronius App shows 2.5kw exported, the problem is, the new system may show only 1.8kw total being generated. Somehow the inverter is seeing the output from the old system .
This has been raised with Bryn, unfortunately he has gone on leave and had passed this on to a colleague. At this stage, I have had to follow up myself, still not resolved.
Sad, as I had been very impressed with other aspects of the project.

10 months later we asked Vernon: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"

The system has exceeded my expectations, the battery and integration of the existing solar panels through a second Fronius inverter has had remarkable performance.
Sloargain Hastings carried out the second phase of the project as well, still very professional.

Excellent service and great installers. Friendly and polite service.

Excellent service and everything explained. All questions answered and explained to our understanding. Installers polite and friendly. Solargain Hastings were the only solar company that came out to our property and explained everything we needed to know, that is after getting 5 quotes. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Took care to do it right

What impressed me was that Mark came to the site to personally inspect the proposed sure. The other companies have similar quotes but missed a couple of details. It have me confidence that three install would go smoothly. Three install did go smoothly. The team turned up on time, worked cleanly and got everything done despite some miserable weather.
Note that the property did not qualify for state rebates as it's a farm.

Great system

Juist replaced my 3kw 10 yr old solar with a new 8kw system, Solar 365 were great to deal with, prompt service, knowledgeable sales staff and quick installation by a great team, the system is performing above what I expected, on a sunny day 58KWh, I had half the panels facing NE and the other NW, taking advantage of sunlight all day, very happy with Solar 365.

Fantastic personalised service & local!

Solar 360 Provided fantastic personalised service. None of this doing it all over the phone they were there and available for me to contact at any time about any aspect of the installation. Josh was my contact person and was, and still is, fantastic; continuing to be there to follow up with bill costs. The installation team are fantastic too. Recommended by my neighbour. Word-of-mouth is very important. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough and we are supporting local business.

Great Installers

The quoting process was good and I was given several options from basic, mid and top systems and everything was fully explained however, they messed up with the installation arrangements blaming the computer system but I was not convinced. The guys who installed were excellent very professional, polite and tidy and informative especially as the weather was not great but they carried on to get the system installed for christmas. Still waiting on someone to come out and give it the tick of approval so that we can be connected. Do not get this done over the holiday period as everything takes ages to get approved and connected (not the fault of the installer). Hopefully its all good and we will be up and running asap.

There were a few follow-up phone calls and Solar 360 were always polite and well informed. Our only problem is that the inverter keeps shutting down we think because of the voltage in our area. Solar 360 has contacted United Energy but it is still proving a problem.

Panels and system installed very quickly.
I would highly recommend Solar360 Australia to get panels and inverter installed.
Their service is fantastic, they care about the customer and are still following up as panels are not yet connected to the grid.

Still struggling with my energy supplier (Energy Australia) to get the panels connected to the grid.
I will possibly change energy suppliers in the future once I know exactly what they can offer.
