Break every 1.5years, cost $222 to claim warranty of faulty unit
Have had solar gain installed in 2016, it broke in 2018, constantly reconnecting instead, got it replaced under warranty at no cost. It breaks again in 2020, called them for warranty, the lady wants me to pay $222 for them to come and look at it then have it replaced. Whole point of installing solar is to save money, it's gonna cost $222 every 1.5 years, more than what I saved from using solar. Don't recommend them

The operator definitely said they have to come out to "do testing". Ask her to send me an email of what had said and she said she did but never received. What email do I send image to?

Choose Solargain. We did and with no regrets.
We felt we were looked after from start to finish. Solargain is also an ISO approved company which gave me more confidence in dealing with them. Yes, there are cheaper systems out there (not much cheaper) but having the piece of mind of knowing that if there are any problems with my system in the future, they can fulfill their warranty obligations. That's something you should also think about when choosing a supplier. There are a lot of companies out there that go bust. Who looks after the warranty then?
We bought the solar panels through a finance company recommended by Solargain and the whole process was very easy as well as getting finance on a low rate.

Happy ChappySouth East Queensland, QLD
Fantastic results. Really pleased with the new Solargain solar hot water system.
Did not realize how worn out and under performing the old unit was was till we had the new Solargain solar hot water system fitted. Simple swap out swap in process but the Solargain installation is much better and tidier than the original. Great installers. Solargain very easy to deal with, and great communications.

Great service and looking forward to the savings
Have just had our old Rheem electric HWS replaced with a Solargain iStore heat pump. The process from getting the quote to installation was easy and straightforward (after the more frustrating research I undertook in the first place to decide on what we were going to replace the old HWS with!) We got a number of quotes and found Solargain to be very competitive but, more importantly, very efficient and friendly to deal with. My questions were answered quickly and I felt comfortable with the decision I made. The guys who installed the unit w...Read more
ere also friendly, on time and cleaned up after themselves - always a plus :) We've only had the system in for a week so have no idea of exactly what it will save us in hot water bills but being able to align it with our existing solar PV system was one of the big drawcards for me. The after sales service was also great and all communication from the office was professional. From my dealings with Solargain so far, I'd have no hesitation in recommending them.1 comment

Best thing to do
I was recommended to use Solargain for my solar system by a friend who had used them previously. My main contact had qualifications in renewable energy and this was very comforting.
The questions were answered, the service was great. The electrical installers were great too.
I would use them again without hesitation.

Great product and great customer service
After getting a few quotes and having to endure the hard sell from other companies and regular follow up calls. I was very surprised at how easy communicating with Solargain was. Marcus the salesman rang and actually listened to what I was needing. He sent me info and 3 quotes. No hard sell. Then once I had made my decision. The install team were extremely professional and helpful as was the communication from the office in emails. Very happy with my decision to go with Solargain and also the great product I now have generating power.

I am pleasantly suprised
I had no idea at the ease of getting our Solar Panels would be as I had heard stories of issues people had experienced. Solargain does everything for you from the day you accept their quote, they patiently walk you through the process, thanks for the journey.

Old Fashion one on one service.
As a retired Builder I were used to getting several quotes on the majority of purchases I have made in life.
I was impressed that I were able to deal with "People" at Solargain in stead of automated queues.
The installers were professional, courteous & efficient. Job was completed to our satisfaction quickly and they even removed all traces of rubbish and packaging.

Great Investment. Time now to reap the benefits
From day one dealing with Solargain was pleasant and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. We had to have previous solar hot water service replaced due to old age. Having just purchased property as an investment and us living in NSW, we dealt with Solargain mainly by phone and via email. The service for the hot water was so good that we bit the bullet and decided to put solar panels on as well at a great price. We are very happy and the Tenants are happy.

The care taken both prior to and subsequent to the installation of our Tesla Powerwall 2 was exemplary.
Liaison between Solar Gain (Tom Liston) in quotation, assessment of installation (In an old and not easy home)and the installers was outstanding. Special applause to Callum for the electrical aspects of the installation. One of the three very best domestic appliance installations we have had over a very long period..and many of the others were extremely unsatisfactory- I can strongly commend Solar Gain, and have already committed to additional solar PV capacity with them.

Best decision I ever made, getting Solar and using services of SolarGain
Panel installation was very efficient. Was done in just over 4 hours. Installers were very professional but also very friendly and courteous. Cannot speak more highly of SolarGain and their service. Excellent
Usual power bill between $450 and $500, today’s bill. $2.00.
Very happy customer.

Solar Battery installation
I just want to say thank you to Joel and Paul for all thier help and patience over the last few months, I am very happy with both sales and service provided to us for the Testla battery installation.
The installers (I forget their names but one was South African and the other Irish) were on time and very informative with the process and usage of the app and equiptment.
I was able to get a good price from them and communication (usually via email which is my preference) with both Joel and Paul was great. In a time in Victoria when everyone seems to be getting solar panels or batteries it was wonderful to have such fast and detailed communication at all times.
Well done to everyone at Solargain.

Can’t wait for our first bill!!
Great customer services and fitting! They had a great wealth of knowledge which really helped me when deciding on what size system to use. Nothing was to much and they answered everything I asked. The guys that and to fit the solar panels and inverter were really polite and did a great job.

Very poor after-sales warranty service
The NG booster supplied by the company Solargain has stopped working during the warranty period. They gave me an appointment for their technician to visit me after 3 days. And on the day of appointment, they called to say that they have re-scheduled my job after 3 days. This is in spite of the fact that I pleaded with them that my property is without the hot water for the past 7 days now. They just don't seem to care.

Questions & Answers
Garyasked
I have just had a solar system installed and they put the wrong panels on my roof. They gave me 22 stp 300s suntech panels and we should have had 21 315 watt trina split cell panels. My question is should I get them to swap the panels to the correct panels or are the ones I have been given just as good and I leave them on the roof save messing about.

Hi Gary, was the system installed by Solargain or a different company? We don't stock the products you're referring to (Trina or Suntech). If you would like to discuss this over the phone, please call us on 1300 73 93 55 and ask for our Service Department.

Some years ago Solar Gain put us in 6 panels and later a new hot water system. We were impressed with the service but would like some advice/quotes on possibly upgrading the current system we have. We live in Maida Vale

Hi David, thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. We're so happy to hear that you're impressed with Solargain! We've sent you a message regarding the advice/quote. Kind regards, Solargain.
David, like you we installed six panels and a 1.2 kW inverter along with a solar hot water system with a gas booster. The solar panels was via solargain and after ten years our inverter failed. Our hot water tank started leaking so we had Solargain install 9 panels, a 2 kW inverter and an i store hot water system. So far we are very happy but it has only been installed for about five weeks. We are producing a lot more energy and lots of hot water.
