Fantastic company

Paul from Venergy provided a comprehensive dive into he different options; both solar only and battery and solar. We opted for the battery system with the solar being installed straight away to a high standard even with our challenging roof.

Excellent service from start to finish

I received 3 excellent quotes but Andrew at Venergy went the furthest to reassure me my shading issue was addressed and came up with a really good design which maximised winter production with least cost for 17kW. Installer Ben and crew did a great job squeezing all the panels in. They look beautiful - the inverter and battery likewise. Venergy quickly adjusted the quote to account for the new battery rebate. I got a sense of quality and attention to detail from all my interactions with Venergy, as well as the install itself, and heartily recommend them.

Professional and customer focused solar installers

The quoting process was personalised and provided options to meet my requirements.

The installation was seamless, on time and the staff were professional and quality focused.

Venergy provided high level customer service who organised every aspect, from information on option, installation and grid and software connection.

I would highly recommend Venergy.

VEnergy the very best!

My experience with Venergy has been really great, and in particular a big shout out to Paul from sales. James was great too and was very fast to respond to a follow up query on the after installation side of things, resolved it the next day - thank you so much. From my initial query to installation or the panels and ev charger, I am very happy with the service provided. Paul is awesome after sales - provided and still does amazing customer service, helpful, informative, knowledge is amazing - answering all my calls, even on weekends! questions and issues, listening/addressing all my queries/concerns and everything proceeded smoothly - very thankful . It has been almost a month since we had our solar system installed and everything is working as expected.

Also, I was blown away when I spoke to SA power networks - when I called them to check about their fine print with flexible exports, being on 3 phase and more info on how the wifi worked, they placed VEnergy in very high regards - respect…

Highly recommend Venergy!

Excellent work

Got my first $0 electricity bill after solar panel and battery installation. Couldn’t be more happier.

From installers who said solar panels cannot be installed on our roof top to others who quoted for a less kW system, VEnergy worked with what we got and helped to install maximum panels possible for a 9.6kW system.

The sales person was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and polite.

Will 100% recommend VEnergy.
Thanks to solar quotes for the guidance.

Professional from start to finish

The sales process and quoting was quick and they provided all the information I needed both by email and explained it over the phone. I was pleasantly surprised that they followed up with phone calls to introduce each member of the team and do proper handovers as it progressed through the process. I'm in the final stages of meter configuration with the energy retailer, so far it's been a very easy process.

Fantastic installer

I received a call from Paul Reynolds of Venergy and went through the process of the systems he recommended. After a thorough briefing, he sent a quote for 3 options. I had a discussion with my son and decided on second option which was for a6.6kw system with hybrid inverter
The installation was scheduled for today 31st January from 7am. They arrived promptly and went ahead with the installation. Staff members were polite and efficient
Upon completion , I was asked to download the iCloudSolar app and shown how the systems work. I was also advised to call them if I need further assistance. I am now waiting for official commissioning of the systems in 10 working days time. Very pleased with the whole process which went smoothly

Venergy install of a new solar system

Venergy provided excellent customer service during the quote process. After accepting their quote out of 4 quotes received they arranged an installation date promptly, the install was done within a day including the dismantling of the old solar system. The Inspector has just visited and signed off and turned on the new system. So very happy with the process from quote to install and can now enjoy the power being generated by the new larger solar system.

Venergy was great to deal with and went the extra mile

It was really great dealing with Venergy. They helped me with all my questions (and I had a lot!) and when it came time to install, the guys were really great to deal with. They even helped replace roof tiles that were cracked by taking ones from under the solar panels and putting them where the cracked tiles were, and putting spares I had (of a different colour) under the solar panels. So they didn't just install the solar, but improved my roof too!
After the install, there was a weird buzzing noise coming from the solar inverter. I sent an email to my sales person, got a call from them, and a few hours later, they remotely updated the configuration of the inverter and solved the issue. Now it's working flawlessly. I highly recommend them.

Quality solar company

They were the first company to call me after I have submitted quote requests.
Our consultant Todd, took his time to explain how the system works and has convinced me that they are dedicating the cost to quality installation service and customer service.
He also showed his passion to help make the whole process smooth and speedy, in which they have made it happen on time despite my tight schedule so that I could enjoy the rebates fully.
On the day of installation, 3 technicians arrived on time and finished the whole process in 4 hours. They have also cleaned up the area and collected the rubbish. They have taught me how to use the app and everything went smoothly.

Clear and easy to navigate

The person on phone was clear and supportive. I had the same person in contact throughout process, friendly and could answer all my questions.
The team installing were helpful and followed through on everything they said they would. Also very friendly, punctual, all the aspects you’d hope for!
The quote was comparable.

Exceptional First Consultation that set the tone

The initial sales person (Mark) was exceptional. When it came to explaining the process and what they took care of he provided more detail and information than the other consultations I had. Whilst no doubt the other companies offered the same thing, Venergy provided a very helpful and informative first conversation which set the tone. Before receiving any quotes back, I said to my partner, I already know who we are getting our install from.
The team were super professional during the install, were extremely courteous, great at explaining the little things when asked questions. couldn't recommend them enough.

Good customer service, polite and efficient. They were punctual and communicated well about when they would arrive and what was needed from me. Instillation was quick and they organised for the meter to be changed by my provider.

Fantastic service, price and installation

From the initial quote proposal to post installation follow up I have felt confident in my choice to purchase rooftop Solar Panels from VENERGY. The price is competitive, installation is prompt and professional and the follow up service is reassuring.
The friendly installing electricians provided information regarding the app to monitor the energy production of my Panels which are happily supplying green energy to the grid.

Professional and experienced

A very professional organisation from start to end. Sales person (Paul) explains things very well and recommended the appropriate system and battery. Installation went well apart from accidental damage to our ceiling which they then sent someone out to repair once we had raised it promptly. System working well and to date we have not used any energy from the grid. Expecting zero dollar bills in the future!

Fantastic company and installers

VEnergy has been amazing in communication, outing what to expect at each stage of the process. The team that did the install were prompt, polite and got the job done quickly and neatly. They took time to answer questions. All of the rubbish was taken away including my old system and water solar panels. Overall very happy to date.

Still going strong, great customer service

Venergy installed our system in December 2022, install was efficient, on time and very tidy. After nearly 2 years it continues to perform as promised.
Recently decided to change energy providers and needed some info for the sign up, contacted Matt who remembered the install and was more than happy to help with my questions even though there was no opportunity for new business at the time.
I have and will continue to recommend Venergy to anyone that asks me about solar given my experience with the team, and the way my system delivers.
Keep up the excellent work !
Thanks Shane

Responsive service and good design of solar system

Venergy were very responsive when the request for quote went out and rang to discuss aspects and options. I had provided a fair amount of information and I felt they had listened to that and responded with an effective design. Very happy with installers who were both quick and effective (Cowlec).
The rep at Venergy was able to come up with alternatives very quickly and were receptive to calls and queries. Post install everything happened with minor involvement on my part. The smart monitor allows easy tracking of kw produced and I am pleased with what it is producing.

seamless process from quote to install

I got 2 referrals from Solar Quotes and 1 of my own. They all ended up quoting very similar systems with very similar pricing but the reason I went with Venergy was they listened to what I wanted and gave me 3 system options.
they answered every question and concern in a timely manner.
They have a very systematic system to let you know what is going on and what to expect next with time frames.
as Venergy are based in SA (I am in VIC) they used a install partner that were very professional.
they removed my old 6kw system and installed the new 17.6Kw in 1.5 days.
the electrical inspection was 2 days latter and I was online tracking my power .

I am very happy with the whole experience and thank you to Solar quotes for the information on his website, YouTube videos so I could feel empowered to ask the right questions and understand the answers.

Almost Ideal

Venergy offered the most complete service with a competitive quote. I was kept up to date with the progress and when the installation started the crew was great, punctual professional, tidy and happy to answer my questions. New smart meter was installed the day after. Unfortunately, the work could not be completed because wrong connectors between the inverter and battery had been supplied. Fine, I was happy to wait till the following week. I'm still waiting for the inverter to be connected to the battery because I discovered, after I called to chase up, that the people who start the job need to complete the work but it turns out they are on leave. Manager immediately offered a $200 gift card as recompense but I still have no ETA for completion.

Overall a reasonable install, disappointed with unknown subcontractors

Sales/quoting was fantastic, so were the reviews of the installer, these were the main reasons I went with this installer. Wasn’t too fussed with price, I went with the installer with the best reviews.
What I wasn’t told was that the installer sub-contracts some of their work out. Very disappointed that this was the case, considering I based the selection of the company on their reviews, not an unknown subbie.
Would not have selected this company if I knew this was the case.
Electricians left cable ties, offcuts of wires and pieces of cardboard in my garden, how hard is it to clean that up?
Sparkies didn’t use any kind of edge protection when installing roof panels, glad they didn’t fall off the roof and hurt themselves. Luckily Worksafe weren’t doing their rounds…
Would not recommend the company I purchased through (Venergy Pakenham), you had me at sales, lost me at sub-contracted install.

We will recommend Venergy SA to everyone we know!

After extensive research, and a recommendation from Finn Peacock, we reached out to Venergy to explore a solar and battery solution for our home. Rebecca from Venergy promptly met with us just a couple of days after our initial contact. Her knowledge and proactive approach immediately impressed us. The quotes she provided were thorough and professional. Additionally, we were contacted by Venergy’s general manager, James, who discussed our energy investment with us, making us feel valued rather than just another sale. Onsite, the installation team was also helpful and pleasant. We have thoroughly enjoyed tracking our usage on the Sungrow app and have no hesitation in recommending Venergy to family and friends.

Excellent company to deal with

James is an excellent communicator and helped me along the way with every part of the process, even when I wanted to make changes more than once. He made the changes on the fly and I got the new quote within seconds.

The installers arrived on time, were professional and polite, and dis an excellent job.

I'm very happy with the whole transaction and would happily recommend.

Support made process simpler

After using Solar Quotes to help us find a solar installer, we are very satisfied with the outcome. Venergy customer service team made all the difference in our final decision (thank you Rebecca). Assistance with government solar loans was fantastic and any questions I had on the system and battery were expertly handled. Installation went seamlessly.

Professional service and immaculate insallation

I called Venergy four a quote as a second quote on a system i had already basically made my mind on. After speaking to Aaron for about 10 min it was very clear to me that i was dealing with a professional company. I was given a quote via email that day, based on what could be seen via satellite pics of my house.
I rang back about 2 days later, with a few questions , re, the position of the battery etc. Aaron asked if it was OK if he was to send an employee to my property to inspect battery location and a few other questions. Later that day I received a call from James and locked in an appointment the next day.
The next day James MacGowan arrived on time and with another person. I was flattered to find out that James was the General manager and the other person was the owner of Venergy. I FELT SPECIAL.
I asked all my questions and again it was obvious to me he knew his stuff, and was polite to boot.
I ordered our new solar/battery system during their visit.
When installation day arrived, two installers from Venergy arrived on time well presented and polite. as they worked they were clean,and respected my house. It took two days to complete the installation. When they left after the first day everything was done to ensure that all was tidy and neat.
After completion of the installation, everything was cleaned up and was as if they haven’t been there.
Now that i have had the system for a little while , I couldn’t be more thrilled with the performance of the unit.
On a couple occasions i have had to call James with queries , he has ALWAYS promptly answered the phone and answered all my questions.
Again the feeling of being a special customer has never left me
I cannot recommend Venergy high enough. If I moved house and wanted another system, they would be the only ones who i would call. Probably not even get a second quote. Sometimes service and piece of mind is worth everything

Great team of installers

The whole solar sale and install process was seamless and informative.
Firstly I dealt with a real professional in Paul Reynolds whose knowledge and experience in this field was obvious and extensive, not pushy and readily answered all queries I had. Paul took care of everything once we made commitment to purchase, this relieved all stress from the process and was much appreciated. Matt and the boys took care of the install, they battled the weather which didn’t make it easy on our steeply pitched roof but did so without any fuss. Once the install was completed the handover was very thorough and informative and gave me opportunity to ask any questions I had. It was all very clear and easy to understand. Thanks to all.

Really impressed

Venergy have bent over backwards to make sure we got a great system. We have been impressed by the design and quality the of system, but especially the install which needed some holes cut in walls and some complex cable routing - all of which was perfectly patched and painted when the job was complete. There were a couple of changes that we needed in the backup circuitry afterwards, and this was seen to promptly and to our complete satisfaction. All the people that we’ve met at the company have been really great, and quick long-term employees - nothing has been too much trouble. There’s something very good going on culturally at Venergy.

Great service and communications

Communicating with Venergy was easy and simple, they answered all my questions as a completely new person to this field, any changes or concerns they also notified me immediately and were patient with walking me through each step.

The installation went smoothly, the crew Venergy used for my area, Cowlec, was polite, tidy and punctual, they arrived, worked quickly and carefully, everything looks good. The inspection afterwards gave it a clear, too, although they forgot to labels a few switches, they came back the next day after inspection to label everything and double check to make sure all is well.

They were more expensive than some other quotes but with the service and the solar system starting off well, I have high hopes it'd keep working great going forward.

Happy and satisfied!

I received 3 quotes and went with the Venergy. Even though the price quoted was higher but they were the ones that were returning calls and answering to my queries within the same day. Installers arrived earlier than the scheduled time and they were friendly and polite. After installation was completed, the managers from Venergy was constantly in touch with updates to the grid connections. I was very happy and pleased with their professionalism.

Venergy were amazing throughout the whole solar installation, they were extremely helpful with coming up with a solar configuration to suit my budget/requirements. The installation process was smooth and efficient, they did a fantastic job of installing the panels on the roof and made sure I was happy with where the inverter was being installed prior to installation.

Well run company with good installer partnership

I picked the company that quoted the panels/inverter I preferred with the best price. I didn't want solaregde, but I get why ppl do.

Quoting: took a lot of time with me asking loads of questions. Very responsive, but salesperson didn't have an eye for detail and sent me a diagram of proposed system with only 30 panels showing when quoting for 32. Another was adding an extra necessary component to quote at the 11th hour, increasing cost of system, as we were negotiating on price right before committing to buy.

Install: loved the electrician crew Venergy used. Cowlec were punctual, polite, and I'm really happy with the install. As other people may have had, one of the proposed labels didn't fit on the 2nd storey roof and we had to put it in a less good spot and it produces very poorly. This is my one regret about the whole thing.

Quick and Painless Solar Install

Was happy with my experience with Venergy, they provided me with a quote, which I compared to the others, and they changed it as I requested to suit the spec I was looking for. The Solar install itself only took a day, the installers were very professional and got the job done with a minimum of fuss. An overall positive experience so far, the performance of the system has been good to date, will be interested to see how if performs over the winter months.

Very professional service, lovely work.

I found the sales/quoting process very friendly and helpful (for all three of my quotes). Everything happened exactly when I was told it would happen, and I was kept up to date with the process all the way through. The installers were friendly, made time to come out earlier in the week to fit the panel brackets so the process on the day would be quicker, and they left the place neat and clean.
Venergy have arranged all the connections with the energy supply company, and they will continue to monitor my system to make sure it is working at optimal efficiency. I couldn't be happier with the result!

Amazing company even better team, quality workmanship

Amazing company!
Fast, affordable, friendly and understanding customer service from James with the initial quoting, no questions were too hard and he was very transparent.
Installation happened very quickly after agreeing to the quote, installation team were down to earth, friendly and so careful with the installation on our brand new house. They were tidy and left nothing behind but great installation of our solar system.
After care has been fantastic, can always call and get clarity on our system if we are unsure and have an online app platform we can monitor our system from.

Since August 2023 we have only had 1 electricity bill of $175 compared to our original bills of $1500+ each quarter. Has been well worth every cent for our family of 5!
Thanks Venergy!
