Great to deal with Countryside solar and Nick after being muck around by a few companies in Toowoomba and online. Nick came out to the place and offered us a great deal and installation was very nice and quick. Highly recommended Show details

Dealing with Nick and Countryside Solar was amazing. Install team Alex and Sid were phenomenal. We tried a few others in Toowoomba to get the quotes and no one came out to the property but Countryside Solar did and installed the system within 5 weeks. Nick absolutely legend and highly recommended if you’re after a great products and customer service. Show details

Terrible service, shocking communication. We were told our solar would be installed in December. Then January. Then February. Then March... at which point we requested our deposit back and cancelled our order. 6 weeks later and they have not refunded our deposit, nor does it seem they intend to. We've been advised to go through Fair Trading and… Read more

from there if no resolution, small claims court. I wish someone had warned us - hopefully this review saves someone else from going through this.

After doing some research, there are many brands however I opted for SunPower and Sig Energy Battery.I like the look and there are many great reviews. Whilst there are cheaper alternatives, I would rather pay a bit more for peace of mind and I'm glad I did as they look amazing on the roof! Show details

No communication after signing for installation to go ahead on October 8, Nick assured us that installation would be done early in November but did not communicate to us that there were any delays till November 20 we were told they could not get the batteries but they should be able to start the install soon but we are now told they still cannot… Read more

get the batteries and we have to pay more money as the job will not go ahead till next year. I still can’t get hold of Nick on the phone or Kellie in. the office and no messages can be left on either number. I would not recommend this company due to poor communication and no service

We had Nick and the team install stand-alone Solar to our rural shed at Ballandean. The whole experience was 10 out of 10. The installers arrived on time and installed in the day. Full explanation of the operation and testing the system before they left. Any after-service queries have been handled wonderfully by Nick. We are thinking of increasing… Read more

our battery storage and will not hesitate to use Nick again. I would highly recommend Nick and Countryside Solar if you are thinking of Solar.

You're better off hitting your big toe with a hammer, you'll experience less pain – I have recently had solar installed in my home (Early October 2024). As the house was new the electrical wiring was pre-installed so the installation for the Countryside Solar was very straight forward and easy. I had no issues with the quality of the physical installation. The installed solar system only produced about half its rated output. I… Read more

reported this issue on multiple occasions with very little response, given the system was sold with a system health monitoring package I shouldn't have had to report it at all, they should have been able to tell me. After threatening to report them to the relevant regulator I got some action with the installer coming back to sort out the issue. I had to explain and show the problem to him even though it had already been communicated to their "technical expert". The issue turned out to be a configuration problem which could have been remedied remotely after my first telephone call. The system has been performing well since that time and had exported a considerable quantity of FREE power to the grid as they did not submit the installation notification to the power company. At this stage there is not much I can do until they condescend to answer my calls as the paper-work has to come from them. I paid a premium price to this company as the offered a good warranty on their workmanship, bragged about their after sales service and offered a system health monitoring service. I have yet to see any evidence of this service actually existing.

My advice to any prospective client of Countryside Solar is to look elsewhere for a provider. While the sell a good product, their after sales service appears to be not worth the paper it is written on. If you're tempted to go with them, go and hit your big toe with a hammer to get a feel of the pain you will experience if something goes wrong.

Great Work – Amazing solar company to deal with. They traveled 200km to see us face to face as others just didn’t wanna move. Countryside Solar offered us great products so can’t complain Show details

Fantastic experience, I'd recommend Countryside to anyone – We initially wanted to replace an old 1.5kw system on our recently purchased house with a new 6.6kw. Got an initial quote, and then Nick came out to inspect and show us our options. We ended up going with a 10kw system at a similar price, with an 8kw Sungrow inverter (not hybrid). On the installation day they brought a few extra panels and a 10kw… Read more

inverter instead. I'm not complaining! Installation was friendly and professional, huge thanks to Alex. We did have to wait a few days for Sungrow to generate a login for our inverter, but Nick took care of that as well. Just to note: I did have to contact Countryside for an installation date, which turned out to have been booked in 2 days later but no-one had told me, so I'm glad I called.

Perfect installation & Highly recommended – Nick and The team were top from the get go. Nick did come out to explain how this all work while other companies were just dealing over the phone.

I would give them… Read more

Refused to rectify installation defect – After spending $41,600 with Countryside Solar they refused to complete rectify defects which prevented the system from being operational. 8 months later I got a different solar company to fix the defects and get the system up and running. Am taking Countryside Solar to QCAT. Show details

Love our solar system arranged Countryside – Received fast efficient service with quoting process and received the advice we required re later installation of batteries. Scheduled for installation within a week of accepting quote. Installer was fast, efficient, knowledgeable and completed the process with minimal disruption to our household. Power bill has plummeted. Couldn’t be happier. Show details

Countryside Solar – From our initial enquiry cannot fault this solar company. Countryside Solar representative was interested in spending the time to find a system right for our house/area/needs and fitted our budget not just wanting a sign up. Communication all the way was good from before installation until a follow up call post installation to see if we were happy. Would highly recommend! Big thanks to Nick and team! Show details

Best company to deal with – Great Company to deal with, from start to finish. They explained everything the way it meant to be as the other companies confused me a bit with solar. Couldn’t rate them any higher and would recommend them highly if you are looking for solar system. Show details

Sales man too much – Country side solar offered an ok quote. Unfortunately, the sales man continued to call me every day sometimes multiple times to secure the deal. He hung up early every phone call before I could say goodbye and forgot the details of the quote. For this reason, we chose someone else. Show details

Smooth installation and great customer service – This was the second unit i have had installed at my mum's place from Countryside Solar. The installer and the guys with him were well presented and friendly. I called Nick to get this system done before i head to work and he made in happen so easily. No issues at all and very professional. Show details ·  1
