10 Solar installation - Oct 2025
Posted 05 December
Initially Tom popped over to discuss our requirements and put together a comprehensive quote for a 6500kw system with a 10kw battery. He was very patient with all my questions and offered solutions and alternatives on some key decisions. When it came to the install, it started in line with the set date. Tom, Ed and their team worked tirelessly and thoroughly to get the install done. Again they were super helpful and friendly answering my many questions as they got on with the job. I would highly recommend this company and would definitely use them again for any Solar installs/electrical work.Verified reviewerJob location: BN3- PPeta F
