Excellent company fully recommend.
The Sales person was professional and friendly explaining the cost of purchase of the Hive Solar Battery and answered any questions I had with the cost and how many panels I have with my existing Solar Panels which I had installed 7 years ago.
The install team were professional and excellent in installing the Hive Solar Battery. There were 4 of them who installed the Hive Solar Battery and fixing an issue I had with my Solar Hot Water System panel within 4 hours. They also went through the process of how to identify issues with the Hive Solar Battery and also how it works.
I fully recommend this company to anyone.

Easy process, hive battery system
From the initial phone call the whole process was fantstic. Everyone was so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. There was little to no waiting on the phone. When the installers came they were exactly on time and went about the installation in a very professional manner. After the installation they explained everything perfectly. Thankyou Sunbank Solar.

Sunbank Solar Hive Battery System working extremely well!!!!!!
Firstly the Sales Team from initial contact were polite and helpful explaining how the Virtual Power Plant operates using the Hive Solar Battery System coupled to my existing Solar System install some years ago now. They also answered my questions and took me through the process of applying for my Solar Rebate from the State Government and the final cost of the Battery System.
The Install Team were great and extremely friendly plus they were efficient with a very quick installation time of just a few hours. Also very neat and tidy as they did ...Read more
a complete clean around the area were the Hive Battery System was installed. Have now had the System operating for some 4 Weeks and so far looking at the Monitoring Application both online via PC and my Smart Phone can see a reduction in Electricity usage from the Grid both during the day and especially at night when the Hive System takes over supplying us our Electricity requirements for the evening. So to date very happy with the Battery System installed by Sunbank Solar, guess the proof will be in the pudding when we receive our next Electricity Bill.1 comment

Flawless from beginning to end
From the first phone call to inquire about upgrading my 5.5kwh solar panels, to a Hive battery being installed (within one week) effortless, everything was explained in great detail and professionalism, nothing was to much trouble for the Sunbank Solar Team (All my questions answered.) Able to go on a payment plan, with manageable monthly repayments. With no penalties if I pay off before the end date.
Technicians rang as promised who arrived on time with 100% quality workmanship. Brilliant follow up to ensure my satisfaction was guaranteed, and that the product is doing its job. This is a true investment, which will pay off itself.

Unwanted, pushy sales tactics
I too am one of a number of people who have been sent Dear Electricity Account Holder letters from this company about flogging off solar batteries. They must be writing to everyone with solar panels. When will these people learn that Australians mistrust unsolicited sales letters and phone calls from unknown interstate companies making promises they don't keep. We do not buy from pushy sales people. We do not believe waffle about exclusive offers, substantial discounts, ground-breaking deals etc etc for the first 300 to sign up to a pilot program. We are wary.

Exemplary Customer Service from a Totally Professional Solar Battery Installation Supplier
So pleased to have committed to upgrading our 4.95 kwh solar panel system with a HIVE battery upgrade with blackout protection. From the moment we contacted the company to the date of the installation, every aspect of the project has been delivered as promised.

Hassle All The Time with their Advertising Letters
I am fed up with the hassle of their letterbox drops. I received so far ten letters, one day I had four in my letterbox !! I even called them to say I am not interested and they said, OK you won't receive anymore, but still hounded !! Even If I was interested, I am Not Now !! No one likes the Heavy Approach to Advertising from Companies dumping their crap into your letterbox

Fantastic Service from quote to installation.
Got contract and given time to review, agreement led to installation completed on time and very effectively. Been installed for 12 months now and I couldn't be happier. Have got credits on all bills, so able to pay gas bills off on electricity credit.

Be very careful, do your homework, and don't believe the sales hype from Sunbank Solar
You need to do your homework before you choose to install solar panels, and definitely do not believe the sales hype or advice from Sunbank Solar. I installed 24 Panels in May 2022 and was told the payback period would be 3-4 years and the change in rates from non-solar to solar would be 'negligible'. 5 months down the track, the panels are working exactly as designed but I never anticipated the best available electricity rates would see an increase in tariffs of 43%. I now estimate the payback on my $4K investment to be closer to 10 years no...Read more
t 3-4. I spoke to Sunbank at length post-installation and they accepted they provided incorrect advice during the sales-cycle and offered me a $200 settlement, or remove the system. I declined both as I am committed to solar and had already spent 50 man hours getting the installation to this point and know my roof would not be reinstated to pre-installation. On the 18 June, Sunbank emailed and advised my 'quarterly bill (can reduce) by $520 on average'. 5 months down the track and the figures are closer to $100 per quarter not $520. The Govt rebates make installing solar more attractive but don't do it if you think you are likely to save money. Do it because solar is a better alternative, even if at a cost. Finally, don't trust anything Sunbank Solar tells you, even if they get a high paid lawyer writing to you to suggest you don't go public with your review on the very poor sales experience.1 comment

Can't wait to have it connected to the grid.
Installation was quick and painless. They arrived when they said they would and the technicians were very friendly and professional.
The assessor arrived within a week to check the installation but am still waiting for it to be connected to the grid.

Excellent and very quick installation. very happy with the system
Gary Lawson gave me a very competitive cost and i was blown away that it was to be installed within 2 weeks which it was. The installers were very prompt, on time and very pleasant and fully explained the installation. Afters sales support for any questions were always replied within 15 minutes by Gary Lawson again with clear and precise answers.
i definitely recommend Sunbank solar for your solar installation

Finally got solar
Haven't had a bill yet. Only had the system for 3 weeks. Very happy with the whole process. Sunbank team great to deal with and the installation was excellent. Also the app for checking real time updates on usage and production is a bonus and from what im seeing there won't be much electricity to pay for.

I received a letter today re the battery program. How many of the 1,000 battery offers are still available and what is the exact discount. If I receive an unsolicited offer, I want details

Please contact Sunbank Solar directly at the number listed in the letter you received.
As I said, no thanks without any details.
Customer S.Sunbank Solar
Hi SLR, thank you for your question. The cost and discount for an installation will vary depending on your individual installation, as not all solar systems are the same. We'd be happy to give you a quick quote, we've just sent you a private message, so at your earliest convenience, we'd love to hear back from you.

Hi guys, I just received a letter in the mail regarding solar batteries. I already have a 6.6kw solar system on the roof but I am keen on the idea of a battery as well.
I have a few questions though.
What size is the battery that you are offering?
Is it an upfront payment or is it available through financing?
What is the price and expected payback period?
