Great resource for those considering investing in solar
As someone on the edge of solar viability I found the SolarQuotes website and the team a very useful resource for understanding the current situation regarding solar and how it applied to me. I received the three quotes organised by them very quickly and was further assisted with my decision by some specific advice from the team.
I'm going ahead with the installation far more confident with my decision than I otherwise would have been.

Best place to start for solar installation
This is an excellent platform to develop your education and research about solar systems for your home. 4 years ago I wanted to install a solar system but the inconsistent information and high cost were too overwhelming and I bedded the idea. Solarquotes has not only been a reliable source of information, the knowledge I gained has also empowered me to make a decision that I'm confident of. There's also the added assurance of getting quotes promptly from companies that have a proven track record and have been vetted. I highly recommend Solarquotes as the first place to start. I have installed a system with Smart Energy Answers - 15x 350 LG panels & Solaredge 5KW Inverter - best decision in 2022!

Great service
Finn and the team at Solar Quotes were helpful, convincing me to go ahead in doing something I've always wanted to do - go solar!
They made a difficult decision easy, after providing the names of 3 companies, and been provided with 3 quotes, I made my choice.

Very helpful in weeding out shonky operators.
I asked for two quotes and only got a response from one. This is still on going.
Solar Quotes is a great idea and they offered follow up but some businesses really shouldn't be in business.

Efficient and easy process
Pleasantly surprised at the quick response at getting the quotes to have some solar panels installed.
Contacted by the installers within a couple of days and all in all a good experience.

excellent information - even for the 'dummy'
I have used Finn's recommendations of questions to ask and found it very empowering. We ended up going with Micheal Summers from NRG who was extremely knowledgeable about all solar parts as he was an actual solar design consultant (as Finn recommends) not just a sales person. We were also having our electricity meter moved just before the solar install and Michael spoke to our sparky to make sure all the new electricity components were compatible and sufficient for the new solar system, and he certainly knew all about the electrical side as wel...Read more

Need to check reviews on recommended companys
I used your company to find captain green who installed a solar system. You should warn people captain green use sub contractors. They also do not return phone calls or emails once they have been paid in full. All you have to do is look at their reviews, but you keep on recommending them. So like me other people keep having a nightmare dealing with them.

100% trustworthy and knowledge
I started my research on solar kits with SolarQuotes which was the best start. 3 Quotes were promptly received and ended up going with one of them. Finn knows what he is talking and shares the best unbaised knowledge first hand! 100% factual information explained in lay man terms for any one to understand everything about solar without any background information. I am totally satisfied with their suggested installer. I would strongly recommend SolarQuotes to be your starting point for Solar Research. You would be saved from the dodgy ones in the market.

A go to site for information on Solar PV installation, to the point, extensive and factual, uncomplicated enough for the lay person to understand. So glad I found this site.

Customer Service
Since September, 2018, after researching some basic knowledge of solar system I shopped around to find a trustworthy company for a solar system. Most of them just tried to sale without appropriately giving and/or explaining the complexities of solar products. And configurations. I nearly lost my interest to get the system. By chance, I found TechnAus in Melbourne and discussed with Jason, a sale manager. I was impressed with his diligent & professional attitudes and took his offer. During the process of waiting for installation, TechnAus regula...Read more
rly informed me when the system would be installed by Sonia & Vignest (technician manger). Prior to a day of the installation, Vignest came to my house to inspect my roof. After following day of the installation, Sonia phoned me to check if I had any problem and/or was pleased with installation boys worked. So far so good. WELL DONE. However, I recommend TechAus should have a technician to spend 15 minutes to explain customers basic information to use Fronius Inverter. I spent a day to search for its full manual & played around to set up WIFI, even I have a reasonable IT knowledge ( because the manual/Youtube did not tell you tricks/hints to connect) . Otherwise, after the installation, TechAus throw customers under bus or overboad. I hope TechnAus would not let me down, if something went wrong with the system. I will keep Product Review update, if necessary.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Comprehensive and unbiased information and opinion
I've used SolarQuotes' service of obtaining 3 quotes and have been entirely satisfied with their suggested installer who completed the installation efficiently. I would strongly recommend SolarQuotes to anyone considering putting up solar panels on their roof and to browse their blog site to obtain unbiased information on anything solar. Thank you SolarQuotes. I deeply appreciate your services in the area of solar, to the community.

A must for anyone considering going solar
A Solar array was something I have been considering for some time.. It has not been easy to sort out all the relevant information but the Solar Quotes web site was very helpful. There is a pleather of information put forward by a number of operators, often confusing, some bordering on deceitful. Information provided by Solar Quotes plus some answers to questions I emailed to them, helped to educate me.
Therefore I was able to gather quotes but most of all I was able to understand what they were saying, and what exactly they were offering .So ...Read more

Unbiased & Genuine
I received quotes from different companies. My family and I really got along well with the Solargain guys in Hervey Bay and they answered all my questions. The guys that did the installation were friendly and showed me how to monitor my inverter and were knowledgeable as well.
I'm happy I found Solarquotes, I'd definitely recommend the site to everyone. Great site Finn Peacock!

Deliver on knowledge and find you the right trades
Have been reading their website for the last year or so, as we have been interested in getting solar. Ive read through alot of the articles and when we were ready. I placed my details through the website and then prompted received three quotes as noted. We ended up going through a family business they suggested.
This is a great reference for information, and assistance wading through all the solar sharks and quotes.

Excellent service-Happy Customer
Sahara Solar installed my solar panels over a month ago and I am very happy with the whole experience. From the sales guy (Simon) to installation (Ben) and post installation advise. (as I was new to all this) I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a hassle free installation and reasonable price to go with it! My solar panels are working brilliantly and I am now inclined to use my clothes dryer more often! I requested quotations from 3 companies, glad that I went with Sahara Solar.

Questions & Answers
Cathasked
Hi Finn
Could you recommend which type of battery to install which is cost effective for 12 solar panels (3.7 KW solar system). Currently I'm looking at a 'Goanna' battery manufactured by Alpha ESS. It has a total capacity of 5.8 KW.
My home runs on single phase wiring. This system is less expensie than the TESLA Power wall 2 or a Sonnen 5kw or 7.5 kw. All of them have a 10 year warranty.
Please advise. Thank you.

Sorry don't know about batteries
Jonathon W.Solar Quotes
Hi Cath - in general, we advise against battery storage on economic grounds - see here: https://youtu.be/veZmzeHnTvs
However, if you're in SA, state government rebates and potential VPP discounts can make batteries worth considering.
For our two cents - Finn has a Powerwall 2 and is very pleased with it.

I have had a solar system installed what type of meter do I require to know how much Kw hours back into the grid?

If you have a Smart meter then your network provider (should have a label on the meter) may have a portal that you can register your meter and get historical data downloaded.
