Oscar (Sales Representative) and his team Luis and Joe from the Installation Department, were very helpful and always got back to me rapidly. Fortune Solar is highly recommended, always answering any questions asked. The contractor used for the installation was extremely skilled and supplied a lot of knowledge on the system. big thumbs up to them

Fortune Solar completed the installation of solar panels and batteries within 2 weeks of my accepting their quote. The pricing information in the company's quote was transparent. I found their service reps Ash and Brinda very patient and helpful with my queries. The contractors who did the installation were punctual, professional and left the worksite spotless. I would recommend the company for anyone in the market for solar and batteries.

I had a terrible experience with Fortune Solar. The installation was delayed by more than two months, and even when they finally came, the job was still not fully completed. The monitoring app is still not working and they stopped answering calls. I had to go to NSW Fair Trading, and even after Fair Trading gave their decision, Fortune Solar has… Read more

still not fixed the issue or completed the remaining work.

What’s worse is their staff keep using different fake names like “Jake”, “Mark”, “Phillips” and others when talking to customers, which makes communication confusing and unprofessional.

Now they have sent me a payment demand even though the system is not fully completed.

Very unprofessional company, poor communication, and zero responsibility. I strongly do NOT recommend Fortune Solar to anyone.

So overall the Quote experience and sales experience was good, Until it was all approved and i needed to pay extra for this extra for that. So what the quote is means nothing to Fortune solar. Install was quick but some of the so call extra charges were not performed. And when called out i was offered a refund, Still waiting for that. Now being… Read more

Ignored by [Name Removed] our sales person. Some of the work in the roof was not the best either, Insulation left off, Junction box taped up and tucked under the insulation, instead of mounted to beam. Very poor experience. Avoid the bad experience. Also after the install the fitter said to say no if and external inspector requests to Inspect (Related to roof height and there location fitment) *** BIG RED FLAGS *** Stay Away

Will update this review as the installation progresses. WARNING STAY AWAY First before the deposit was made communication was great, [Name Removed] was ringing me frequently to update me on the deal and offered a great price. Now that the deposit has been made [Name Removed] is no longer being proactive, he was meant to give me an install date… Read more

so I can work around it and schedule my time.

Update following last review.

[Name Removed] pulled strings and managed to get an install date before my overseas trip, I have been able to schedule all my jobs and the team have been accommodating to my schedule (CONTINUE READING I WAS WRONG)

This review will be updated with my experiences as the installation moves forward.

After the last update I have come to the conclusion that this company is incredibly dishonest and can not be trusted, I should have moved company when I had the opportunity.

They have delivered a battery but have proceeded to make me find another installer to finish the job. IM CONVINCED THIS WAS JUST A WAY TO GET MY DEPOSIT/GOV REBATE!

it all started when I was ment to have an installation on the 14th. I was called by [Name Removed] saying the installation can only happen in the garage AND I MUST PAY MORE (despite me having the guidelines an engineering degree and a tap measure saying otherwise.

Then on the 11th they said they fired their installer as he refused to do a job, so it will be moved till the 17th.

Then on the 17th I had to call them repeatedly, my calls rejected so I got my friend who took the day off work to make sure they had someone there. We were then told that their installer fell off a roof. And it won't be going ahead.

Now I'm left with batteries against a wall and have to find a new installer to complete the job

I dealt with Sean who knew the product Growwatt very well, I shopped around and his knowledge and reassurance about the after sales service and warranty made my decision on a 20kw Battery. Was good communication, quick from initial contact to instillation, and great great, neat friendly electrician. No problems at all, highly recommended. Show details

My experience with Fortune Solar was good. I found Sean very pleasant and easy to communicate with. Sean was helpful and assisted with my enquiries and every stage of the process. After installation Sean followed me up to see if I needed help with anything and willing to assist with any enquiries I may still have. After Support Service is good. The installers (Electricians) were nice guys and Kate (Office Mgr) helpful.

Dealt with [Name Removed] excellent customer service installation when effortlessly very happy. Also great service spoke with support afterwards to help understand the app. Same again great service

 Follow-up  · Product is good and app is good. Post installation support is very very bad. I also wish I did more research before going battery if I would have known I’m not producing enough solar to charge battery I would not have installed battery even though I have a relative large solar capacity I have realised I generally use all solar and not enough to… Read more

I had asked for quote from different solar/battery installer or company. I would say that all are very good but Fortune Solar is the best, in my own opinion. Fortune offer not just one brand but many brands of solar panels and batteries. Their… Read more

pricing is not very low but not also very high compared to others. And Sean, their boss, or their business consultant is very accomodating. Very truthful and frank.

I was scheduled to have my solar/battery by the end of March 2026, but I wanted to have it installed the soonest. Then Sean asked me to pay the full amount and the solar will be installed the following day. I was kind of shocked. Not because of their quick response but of my problem where to find the money.

The following day the installer KD Electric Pty Ltd was there with the Jinko panels and Sungrow battery and inverter. They removed my old 3kw solar panels and 5kw Growatt inverter and replace them with the new one. The director of KD Electric answered all my questions regarding the back up. Also Sean enlightened me about the expense of the total black out back up, so I just settled for a partial back up. The installation was not quick but they finished it even up to 9 pm, almost dark. The system was tested. It was working very well. They clean the area too.

The following day, all my electrical loads, including charging my EV were supplied from the solar/battery system. I would say, none from the grid. I am thinking now of converting all my gas appliances to electric so that I can maximise the use of my solar/battery system. This way I can have a quick ROI.

So, thank you very much Fortune Solar and KD Electric. I salute you. You are professionals.

 Follow-up  · No noise from battery or inverter. I have not maintained it yet, but I think it is easy to maintain because the location is accessible. They also explain the warranty in detail. No problem.

Inverter has blown up solar installer has been back, said it was a faulty inverter ..both installer and fortune solar said they would replace it 3 weeks on still no inverter .and getting Story after story from both sides now. Do not go with this solar company

 Follow-up  · Unfortunately we have had no solution yet they're all in agreeance that is definitely broken just who is responsible for replacing it seems to be the problem also their indicating they may have trouble getting one even though they're still put in them on new houses every day they have supply for new installs but not for replacement of failed product

I deal with Robert from Fortune solar who is knowledgeable and gave me good solution for the system they installed. The installers are highly competent and finished the job in few hours and put the system online. I strongly recommend Fortune solar to go to. I suggest my friend also with this one.

Would not recommend. All promises at the beginning but as the deadline came closer suddenly the installers for the solar panels and battery were “unavailable” so the job won’t be completed in time for the rebate. Disappointing.

They provide an installation date and 2 months later was still not installed. Then booked a date and never showed up. In the end simple refunded the money as they had no idea of when they would install. Extremely disappointed and disrespectful. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Avoid Fortune Solar – Extremely Poor Communication and Reliability My experience with Fortune Solar in Western Australia has been deeply disappointing. Before signing, Eric was responsive and easy to reach. However, once I accepted the quote in mid-February 2026 and paid the deposit, communication quickly declined. By mid-March, everything… Read more

appeared to be progressing normally, with confirmations from both Western Power and Fortune Solar. I was even instructed to remove an oyster light for the battery installation, which I completed on 13 March 2026 at my own cost by hiring an electrician.

Without any warning or explanation, my deposit was suddenly refunded on 17 March 2026. I received no email, call, or message.

I attempted to contact Eric multiple times with no success. I then called customer service and was told the matter would be escalated and I would receive a callback — which never happened.

Because of this, I lost the opportunity to secure another installer in time to take advantage of the full battery rebate before 1 May 2026.

This experience suggests a lack of accountability and poor communication. Customers are left to deal with the consequences while the company simply cancels and disappears.

I am currently compiling my costs and losses, considering further action.

I would strongly advise anyone considering this company to look elsewhere. My experience was a disaster from start to finish, characterized by broken promises and hidden costs. At the quotation stage, I was promised a seamless installation of a solar and battery system within 6 to 8 weeks. This turned out to be a complete fabrication. The actual… Read more

process took more than 6 months—nearly four times the original estimate.

The initial quote was incredibly misleading. They failed to include the Victorian energy rebates, which resulted in an unexpected price hike of $1500. It felt like a bait-and-switch tactic once they had me committed.

The primary reason for the massive delays is that this company does not actually have enough installers in Victoria. They are selling services they aren't equipped to deliver locally, leading to constant excuses and missed timeframes.

The only reason I finally received my installation was because I took the step of filing a formal complaint with the regulator. This company is untrustworthy and consistently fails to deliver on its promises. Save yourself the stress and the money—avoid them at any cost.

My name is Chelliah Karunaharan, and Fortune Solar supplied and installed a Fox ESS CQ6 41.93 kWh Solar Battery System for us. Fortune Solar’s team was knowledgeable, efficient, and positive. Battery placement posed challenges due to meter box distance, sunlight, space, and costs, but after consulting several companies—including my previous… Read more

provider—I chose Fortune Solar for their competitive pricing and quick decisions. While other companies increased their quoted price once at site, Fortune Solar remained reasonable and handled obstacles swiftly. Frank efficiently addressed issues, saving lost time as we dealt with multiple organisations. On installation day, technical and financial issues arose, but John and Ash resolved them quickly, initiating the job after lunch and nearly finishing by evening. When powering up the system, an emergency occurred. Impressively, one Fox ESS owners personally checked the battery, identified the issue and powerup the battery next day. The system is flawlessly working since then. We have not imported noticeable grid power and have been exporting ever since. I highly commend Fortune Solar's staff and organisational skills.
