So different! Do not pass these guys by!
What a pleasant change! Two and a half hours explaining their suggestions and answering questions with absolutely no pressure resulted in the purchase of a 5 kW system with monitoring software that has been performing as good as, if not better, than expected.
Having previously had two other solar companies in, with the usual "must have your decision before I leave to benefit from the amazing discounts I can offer" or "just a minute while I call the National Sales Manager to see if I can get this low price confirmed" (yawn - do they think I...Read more
fell down with the last rain shower!), Solaron's processes were exactly what convinced me to go with them. And they have been in constant contact since installation to make sure all is working well which again is a change from the "hit and run" approach I have experienced in that past. We could have spent less initially by going with other companies but I am convinced that Solaron will save us in the longer term. With an investment of this nature it's not just about price. Superb service, honesty and reliability. Excellent and helpful staff - and we got a box of chocs!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Great and honest service
Our property has a lot of surrounding trees, so we were concerned whether solar would be efficient and provide good payback for us. [name removed] visited us and took details of our electricity usage and made suggestions on how we could reduce this. He arranged for a roof survey to be completed to gauge the amount of sun on our roof through the year.
[name removed] calculated the numbers and concluded that the tree cover would reduce the effectiveness of solar panels by around 25%, increasing the payback to 10 years, He therefore recommended a...Read more

So so happy
As a growing family and a growing electricity bill, we felt like the best option is to get solar. I had about 6 quotes, SolarOn was not the cheapest, but I felt very comfortable with Ron explaining everything to me. They had great products. They were very happy to wait the three months for our mortgage to end, so we could get the finance that way. The guys that put the solar up were very professional and cleaned up after. They came back after a week to check all was ok and I like the fact that in the price they come back after 6 months an...Read more
d after a year. Will be recommending then to everyone that wants solar. Excellent customer service, very professional and great product Unfortunately it is expensive, but it will be worth it in a few years when the electricity bill will only go up2 comments

Thanks for your business Toni, you have an excellent system that will provide your family a hedge against the cost of power for a long time. With your 45deg pitch your system will perform well over the next 6 months.

If you want the best system - start here!
We had completed months of reviews about solar systems for our house. We were continually dealing with salesmen who were more interested in selling us a product rather than meeting our solar needs. It was becoming frustrating.
Enter Solaron.
The owner (NB not a salesman) spent hours with us looking at our needs and matching the best system. He offered us real advice about how to best meet our solar needs. Solaron helped us look at a range of options. This was the point of difference because he knew what he was talking about. It was a bre...Read more
ath of fresh solar air. Solaron was the epitome of efficiency and organisation. They helped us work through our order and took us through the myriad of forms to process for our rebate, meter change over etc. Thank goodness! Solaron worked like Trojans installing our system on what would have to be one of the most difficult roof structure. They were professional and kept us fully informed. Brilliant!1 comment

Amazing company
What a pleasure having solar panels supplied and fitted by Solaron. All fitted in one day and running by the end. The men were polite and caring. They did exactly as they said they would in the quote. I had the maximum fitted and it should repay the cost in around five years.

Great customer service and product
We found Solaron after googling all the big players and everyone had negative feedback (including on Product Review). We tried the opposite approach and asked who was the best and Solaron leaped out and luckily they operated within our locality. They gave us a great consultation, offering his recommendation without a hard sell. Josh and Clint were excellent installers and alerted us to existing problems in our sarking which they happily fixed as part of the service. The system is working as promised with a wonderful bonus of a computer app to monitor our system. Solaron, thanks.
reliable, and works as promised

Fantastic
It was a real pleasure to deal with such a professional company. They looked after everything from start to finish and made it very simple. We had a number of other quotes and discovered that Solaron was the only company that really knew what they were talking about. Now that the system is installed and running it is performing better than anticipated. Would not hesitate to recommend this company.

Great service
Very professional, excellent customer service and I would certainly recommend this company to friends. We did get other quotes and although Solaron not the cheapest they certainly weren't the dearest. We are very happy we chose them they made it so easy to understand how their system works especially impressed with how they worked out where to place the panels for maximum sun.

Looking forward to my next electricity bill, now that is a change!!!!!!!!
My son had installed Solar through Solaron, so he had done the "footwork" for me, and was extremely happy, so there was no contest as to whom I would go with. I found that from the first person with whom I was dealing, through to the installer and electrician, they were very professional people and was a pleasure to have them in my home. A light test was done to escertain the most appropriate place on my roof to install panels. Great care was taken to make sure that everything on the roof was installed, sealed etc, so that there would not be ...Read more
any problems down the track. All the paperwork was done for me, ie. Energex was contacted on my behalf, so after installation I didn't have to do a thing. The Inverter was installed in a position that is unobtrusive on my home. A very professional company in every aspect. Very reliableSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Professionals who deliver exactly as promised!
We'd been looking at solar systems for over a year and had seen all the usual suspects on the Coast! I'm an electronics engineer, so although not a solar expert, I could easily identify the salesmen without substance or product knowledge. Solaron impressed me from the first meeting: they didn't rubbish their competition but instead gave me references to go and research myself and reach my own conclusions. They were not the cheapest quote (nor were they the most expensive considering the products they sell), but they insist on only selling the b...Read more
est quality systems and have a customer support system second to none. How do I know? My friend recommended them to me after they completed their free annual system check and immediately replaced a faulty panel free of charge. The salesman really knew his stuff and explained very clearly what sized system would give me the best return. I already knew I wouldn't be able to cancel my bills completely until I replaced some inefficient systems in my house, but Solaron was the only company that explained that from the start. The sales process included advice on saving money, not just blindly buying the biggest system available. The installation team were extremely professional too, explaining exactly what they were doing and ensuring I was happy with their work. No cowboys here! I can't recommend these guys enough. If you're looking at a solar installation, you owe it to yourself to meet the Solaron team. Instead of thinking you'll save money buying a cheap, unwarranted installation, get the professionals in and rest assured you're getting the best quality products and that they'll support you for the life of the system. I've already told Solaron that I'm happy for prospective customers to speak to me direct: I'm not affiliated to the company, but I'm very happy to have found a decent, family-run business that cares about its customers. Honest, quality products, professional install. Wanted to buy a motorbike with the solar funds, but I know my place and did as the wife told me! Good decision!Similar opinion?

The Best in the Business !!!
Before I had my 5.0kW solar system installed I obtained a number of quotes. As an electrical engineer it was easy to tell who was full of rubbish and who new their stuff. [name removed] from SolarOn really impressed me, he knew his product and he carried the top quality brands that I wanted. [name removed] was able to answer all of my questions, and if he didn't know something he told me up front, he didn't try to make stuff up like a lot of salesman, but instead promised to find out, which he always did. The electrician that wired the sys...Read more
tem up did some of the neatest work I've ever seen and used quality isolators and materials throughout. I've had my system up and running now for 12 months and I couldn't be happier, it's a great investment and, after 12 months, I'm still very glad I went with SolarOn. Their service is impeccable.

Thanks SolarOn for a very pleasant experience. I have to admit I was very confused as to which solar company to go with. After recieving a quote from [name removed] I recieved a call from [name removed] who spoke to me at length about why his company use the products they do. I was not sure where to install the panels, so [name removed] sent a designer out who took a photo from on top of our roof, loaded that into his computer and was able to tell us exactly where our panels should be placed for best efficiency.

] I believed He really knew his buisness, so I signed the dotted line for one of his 5.8kW systems. Within one week we had a solar system on the roof, and have been generating electricity since. There was no drama involved - the installers arrived on time, and within 5 hours all was installed.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Extremely satisfied customer
Having requested contact online from 6 companies, Solaron called within minutes of the request being posted. They were the first and only company to contact us back in a period of several days, and were by far the most professional, most knowledgable and most truthful company we encountered. If you want to deal with a company that is genuine and sincere about its products, with representatives that are polite and well spoken and with tradesmen that work with maximum efficiency and tidy up after themselves, then Solaron is the company to deal with. The initial encounter with all other companies was similar to dealing with commission based salespersons.
High Quality products, high quality service.

Couldn't have worked with better people
[Personal Name Removed] and his team did a great job. I interviewed 9 solar providers and Solar-On were the most knowledgeable and professional. Answered all my questions quickly and truthfully. No sales pitch or over-promising. The cost was not the cheapest but only 10% higher than outfits using lower quality gear. Some providers were 30% higher than Solar-On and nobody offered better gear. The design took into account our site difficulties and Ron was able to get a manufacturer's warrantee on the racking despite our seaside location. T...Read more
he installation was first class. Ron personally inspected the installation and followed up with us at 6 months and 12 months. Our system cost about $15,500 and we have received over $3500 in value from it in the first 10 months. That's free power plus $350 per month, tax free! AND we've saved nearly 7 tonnes of CO2 from being put into the atmosphere. It's a Win-Win-Win situation with Solar-On. Professional, competitive, highest quality service, design, installation and equipment. Nobody is better.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Excellent Service
SolarOn will not try push you in to the sale. When Ron visited my house he worked on getting us the best result. Our roof was not the easiest to work with but they did a sensational job. The tradies that showed up to do the work were perfect.....on time, efficient and courteous. We only had to wait a few weeks for the system to be installed and it works brilliantly. From an administration point of view, everything went like clock work. SolarOn do what a lot of business's don't do well....the basics and then exceed expectations,
On time, met my budget, delivered on promises.

SolarOn is an excellent Solar for SE QLD. Ron provides awesome service & competitive quotes. They won't be the cheapest but have been around for quite a while & definitely know there stuff. Ron goes the extra mile & will provide extra advice that the others won't like - he checks to see if there will be too much shade on placement of panels on roof & will come back 6 months later to check performance of system.

Do you service Sydney?

Hi Kate
Assuming it is residential solar unfortunately we don't sorry. We service the SE QLD area for residential and commercial. We do travel interstate for large commercial projects if this is what you were looking for. Best tip I can give is go with an SMA inverter and a quality 6.5kw system will cost at least $8k so budget for that $ spend.

Looking for a 3 or 5kw solar unit for my parents 2 bedroom unit in Bangholme..can I have an approximate price please.....?
1 answer
Hi thanks for getting in touch but we only service the SE QLD area so can't help you in Victoria. If you find a local supplier that uses SMA inverters you will be off to a good start. Expect to pay $4000 to $7000 for a good quality 3kw to 5kw system. All the best!
