What the company has to say:
"Why use us? Good question, as we are not the absolute cheapest and we will never be. What we are is a quality company, with quality staff and quality work ethics that will far outweigh a small saving you may catch with somebody else. Our reviews speak for themselves.
All our installations are done in house, we don't use subcontractors or salesmen. You will deal with one person from start to finish.
We have successfully been in business since 2012 and completed thousands of installations through a rocky industry. Our diversity of work outside of solar will keep us around long after the fly- by- night sales companies have liquidated.
We are here for a long time and plan to stand by our work for many years to come."

Highly recommended solar and battery installer
Surge IT Solar and Electrical are an excellent choice for solar and battery installation. Nick and his team provided a professional service from the get-go. Pre-sales involved a site visit from Roy, who is an experienced electrician. So the quote included all required works, with no surprises. The experience on the day of installation was great, with the entire team working hard to complete a fairly large domestic installation in one day. I would highly recommend Surge IT if you are looking to deal directly with a professional, experienced installer without going through an intermediate sales organisation.Panel rating: 5/5

Great service!
Great service, efficient, tidy and great follow-up - thank you for more than meeting our needs!12 April 2026
Absolutely smashed it – Seamless Solar, Battery & EV Installation with top-notch service!
The sales process was smooth, transparent, and completely pressure-free. Nick and the team took the time to walk me through the solar, battery, and EV setup without any pressure or upselling, which made a big difference. They were also among the most competitive quotes I received, so it felt like good value without compromising quality.Once I signed and paid the deposit, things moved quickly. The install was booked in sooner than I expected, and on the day, the boys showed up right on time and got straight into it. Everything was installed efficiently, and the workmanship was clean and professional. They didn’t leave a mess behind either, which I always appreciate.
Nick and Damien were fantastic during the handover. He explained everything clearly and step by step: how the system works, how to monitor it, how to use the mySigen App and DC Charger, and even how to optimise things like charging and usage. It didn’t feel rushed, and I walked away actually understanding how to use my setup properly.
Overall, super smooth experience, and I’m really happy with the result. I’d definitely recommend Surge It Solar and Electrical if you’re looking for a reliable, honest team for solar, battery, and EV installations.

Review of my Sungrow solar upgrade
As a retired electrical professional, I’m able to look at an installation with a bit more insight than most. My recent upgrade included:• Inverter: Sungrow SH8.0RS
• Battery: Sungrow SBR224 – 22.4 kWh
The team was on time, knowledgeable, respectful, and polite throughout the entire process.
Their tradesmanship was first class. The installation was neat, well planned, and carried out with clear attention to detail. Everything was explained properly, and the system has been performing exactly as expected.
Overall, a very professional job and an upgrade I’m extremely satisfied with.
Regards Ronnie

Best decision we’ve made!
Am extremely satisfied with the solar and battery system installed by Surge It Solar and Electrical at Brendale. From the start, Roy was professional, informative, and didn't pressure us, designing a system that fitted our specific energy usage. The installation team was fantastic—tidy, fast, and polite.Approximately, two weeks in, our battery is performing perfectly, amazed at how well the battery manages night-time demand and significantly reducing our bills. The monitoring app is super easy to use, and they took the time to explain everything during the handover, showing they care about the long term, not just the sale. Highly recommend this team!

Quality Installation again by the Surge it Boys
Engaged Surge it Solar after installing solar to come back to install battery at my place. As usual, quality workmanship and Nick offered a competitive price. Installation process was seamless and the boys were always polite and helpful. Will continue to engage Surge it Solar for all future solar and battery needs. Thanks Guys!Panel rating: 5/5

Fantastic installer: quick, reliable and great customer support!
Sales process was prompt and did not push whatsoever for battery install, in addition they were also the lowest quote I received.Install happened within 1 week of signing the contract and paying the deposit. The day of the install the team rocked up on time and in half a day the system was setup, leaving all areas in a tidy state. Kyle was amazing at explaining everything: what to do if inverter had an issue, how to setup the hot water time and how to use the Sungrow app.
Unfortunately the wire for an air-conditioning unit was not re-connected to the switchboard hence was not working but the day after the installation I called the office and the owner, Nick, promptly organised for someone to come to my property that afternoon to rectify this, while being very apologetic of the inconvenience.
Totally understand one small error can occur but I was really impressed with the support and the prompt rectification.

Great Service and Advice
Recently bought a BYD Battery via Surge It. We had existing solar and Fronius Symo Inverter in place with the intention to go with a battery one day. Great service from Surge It from the Quote through to Installation. Process was simple, felt informed with no pressure. Thought it may be a 8 week process but we went from quote to install well earlier than expected. Really happy with the service from Nick, Ray and the whole team.Panel rating: 5/5

A pleasant, seamless installation process that inspires confidence
We requested a quote via SolarQuotes on Thurs 7 Nov, and Roy from Surge It contacted me, asking for our requirements and initial information, on Tues 11 Nov. By 17 Nov Roy had made a site visit to gather more information, both from us and the site, and submitted their final quotation later the same day, which, after a few minor changes, we accepted on 19 Nov. Throughout this process Roy was very professional, both listening to our wishes and concerns while passing on his knowledge and experience to offer us the best solution. At no time was there any attempt to 'upsell'.By chance, only two days after our accepting the quote, an opportunity arose due to a late cancellation, and by the end of 21 Nov the system had been installed, only 2 weeks after the initial enquiry.
The installation itself went very smoothly with the team arriving on site and getting their heads down to work, addressing any issues and resolving them efficiently, all the while keeping us informed of what was happening, and finally clearing up after the job was completed.
Couldn't really ask for much more from the whole process.

Great service from our installer
Nick and his team have installed solar panels and more recently a BYD battery. I had some modem issues and when I replaced the modem had issues connecting to the inverter. I then had an inverter issue that resulted in a new inverter being installed. I contacted Nick about the modem issue and he fixed it in no time over the phone. With the inverter Nick came out on a Saturday to look at the inverter and deemed it a warrenty issue. It was fixed today. Nick and his team have been fantastic in the installation and after sales service. The installation experience was great but the after sales service was exceptional.04 November 2025
Efficient and professional installation
Following an extensive review of different companies, systems and prices I chose Surge It Solar. They did not let me down. From Sales visit to quoting and then installation it all happened faster than I anticipated. The equipment was sourced and installed efficiently and very professionally. Then I was given a full demonstration of how it all works. It was brilliant. I have no hesitation recommending this company.Battery rating: 5/5

Great service
Upgraded our solar panel installation with solar batteries and Nick and the team at Surge It Solar and Electrical were excellent in reviewing my options, recommending and installing a quality, compliant battery system to meet our needs. Couldn't be happier with their efforts and highly recommend them.Battery rating: 5/5

Great Local Installer
Prompt quoting process. Installers were punctual and polite and fully explained the system after installation completed. Would recommend this company to others.23 September 2025
Quick and tidy installation
The process was very easy, talked to Nick a few weeks ago told him that I was moving and was interested in solar. He sent a quote with panel placement, type of panels and inverter type as well as price.I rang him yesterday to say I was ready; it was installed today. At all times during the process and today's installation I was asked if there were any questions. The link for the App was sent today, and everything was explained to me before anything was signed. Great service.

Patient and efficient
The entire process was made very easy for me. The team answered my questions, even though I asked many. The team was communicative and the install process itself was quick, painless (for me anyway) and tidy!Very much appreciated.

Professional team and installation
Installation went smoothly and ahead of schedule. Sales and installer were professional and supported my needs - Ethernet connection rather than Wi-Fi, and installed DC conduits high on the trusses close to tile to minimise EMF passing through ceiling. Installers were great, arriving at the schedule time and the site was clean after they departed. They also explained the upgrades made to the meterbox and how to configure the new hot water timer.08 September 2025
Amazing work from Surge It Solar and Electrical
Great experience from quote to installation and beyond.The team at Surge It really helped me understand how to set up the best system for future battery capability.
Nick and his team were great and I would 100% recommend them.

Solar install
Excellent service from sales team to installer - very proficient service, I highly recommend.
A good installer
Early this year in 2026, Nick quoted for a new system here (using the old panels installed in 2017 and also installing two new strings of panels on a new shed). Nick's quote included using the newest Aiko Generation 3 panels. It was on 30 March 2026 that Nick and his team installed the new Sigenergy system (and what a great system it is). As the install was being done, I took a photo of a label on one of the solar panels and I noticed that they were Aiko Generation 2 panels. Just after this, I called Nick and discussed this with him and I mentioned that the quote was for the newest Gen 3 panels and I asked why Gen 2 panels were being installed. Nick said that the new Gen 3 panels weren't available yet and that is why they were installing the Gen 2 panels. Well, I said he should have told me first. Anyway, the output will be slightly less, I am a little disappointed about that, however, the system here is really good and is performing very well.I never had any dramas with either of the two installs (other than some years after the first install, I found one of the bolts that was holding down a solar panel, it was loose and I simply tightened it up). All up, Nick was exceptional in designing the systems, providing information about the different products, what the installation output would be, the installation process and Nick was there in support afterwards (eg the Sigenergy 25 kW DC EV charger, it initially had some issues in charging, which eventually Sigenergy rectified from their end). Am very happy that I went with Surge It Soler and Electrical and I am sure you will too.
