Fast and professional at a competitive price
Ben was great, met a price and delivered as committed. Thanks for a brilliant install...13KW 3 phase system on a double story house in a day!24 November 2014
The system worked without a glitch from the moment it was switched on. For anyone on the Sunshine Coast contemplating a micro inverter system, I would recommend Sunshine Coast Solar. And for anyone not contemplating micro inverters, take a closer look at the advantages of this technology which in my view justify the slightly higher cost over string inverters.

Quite a few others hounded us to the point where I wouldn't even answer the phone!
Also with Sunshine Coast solar they were able to supply and install the very next week.
The installer they use is Greg from Skilled Electrical and we were very impressed with him and the boys, their work was fast efficient , neat and tidy as well. Greg stepped us through the whole process and went above and beyond. Highly recommend these guys as well....he even came back and did a few other electrical jobs for us at a later stage.
I'm very happy I just got my first bill and even though we had only had solar for 30 days of the 90 bill we had a credit of $88 and the bill dropped already about $20, so can't wait to get the next bill !
Just a quick mention that a certain local company here on the Sunshine Coast who are doing letter box drops.....the guy first showed us pictures of burnt roofs from solar and tried to sell us a much more expensive system designed for people with shaded roofs ( micro inverters?) that we didnt need and then when we wouldnt budge he said he could also sell us a system that would burn our house down ! I don't like scare tactics!
Also like to say that I found this site extremely helpful in my search for solar...thanks for that!

It is a hard decision to make what company or system you go with. It is hard to know are you getting a good quality system and value for money. Also the value of the STC's vary greatly amongst installers, are they telling you the value they want you to know? I am not sure if I decided on the best system or installer.15 months later we asked Ian: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
At the moment I am very happy with my 1.625 Kw system. With the 50c/Kw Origin gives me for the power returned back to the grid, the system returned approx $1000 for 12 months. My panels face North which is a big factor, but I believe that the REC panels and the SMA inverter have proven themselves.12 September 2012

Placed a deposit on on a 2nd tier system, changed mind & this agency immediately (next day) refunded my deposit. Some time later I called for best quote on a quality system I had decided on & they had best price & installation was performed most efficiently. Still awaiting Energex reprogramming of meter.12 months later we asked Bob: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes.Must admit that there's been a wide variation in prices of solar gear since I installed, but I have had no problems at all & currently my power costs me -ve $3.35 per day tho must admit I use more now. Am 73 yrs old & can give up my penny pinching days re using power!

I looked at many companies and options. Finally it was dificult to choose between a higher priced 3kw system and a very well priced 4kw system only $1500 difference. I chose the 3kw system because it was a local supplier and the perception of better quality [european.PS: thank you for your time.
25 months later we asked Denis: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes at least. Over the 24 months since installation our system has produced 10200 kilowatts of which 7500 have been returned to the grid. So with the favourable feed in tarrif we receive we have enjoyed free power plus a return on investment of over a $1000 from our supplier. This equates to a payback on the initial cost within 5 years.24 August 2012

I have the system(s) for 10 months now. I am not only carbon neutral, but I get a quarterly cheque for power production as well.
Don't waste time with cheap systems, quality is what's important.
