Like a SCAM - once they get your deposit, good luck hearing back again!! Had to totally cancel.
Up front sales were great... 6.6kw system, crystalline panels and installation agreement guaranteed within our 7 weeks requirement... no request was too hard for sales and they were totally flexible on arrangements and type of panels/system.... all good so far.
Then we had nothing but issues from this company..... No contacts back, and I mean ever, and every call from us was met with the installation pushing out weeks. The SolarVic rebate went through within 3 days! But they kept trying to blame the Govt??
Then they apparently had the wrong c...
Read moreredit card details for us, which only raised more suspicion when that was of course re-affirmed several times early on.... Then of course, they say thwy 'tried' to contact us on multiple occasions (but couldnt say when) but 'couldnt get through'... well sorry > that old chestnut doesn't work anymore guys!!! > not with call waiting and logging and messagebanks and mobile phones! Ah....no..... :-( - Anyway, didn't companies learn 30 years ago that you don't make the customer the blame for the reason for your own companies issues anyway?!?! So - we will cancel this order, seek cancellation of deposit through bank and go with a retailer that has a.minim u m of customer service management processes and people to support it.Bob

From start to finish, couldn't ask for better
Thanks Hello Solar. From the very first contact with your company to the final part of the connection, we could ask for nothing more. Very professional company. Looking forward to my cheaper bills.

Good solar panels but mediocre installation
Panels were good value for money. Paid for an inverter upgrade and that is working fine also, but local installer failed to seal one of the isolators on the roof and it nearly caught fire. Also took a very long time to get meter upgraded. Company is OK but their installers are pretty average!

Great job and fantastic savings.
The whole process from ordering to installation and completion was orderly and very smooth. My second bill which was for a complete (winter) quarter showed a credit of $13.89. I am more than happy with the system and I have recommended Hello Solar to several of my friends.

I Would not use Hello Solar
My experience with Hello solar was very ordinary. The trades personnel they engage are very mediocre. I was lucky that I am of an age that I could inspect the work carried out on my roof. On inspection I found approximately 10 roof tiles badly broken. This would have caused a huge amount of water damage if I had not found this issue. After explaining this to Hello solar. All I received was a sorry and when are you paying the final bill. They weren't interested. I was told in the quote stage that hello solar only use their own installation trades personnel and do not use sub contractors. This was a lie. My solar seems to be working ok. But I have no confidence in the workmanship from what I experienced.

All good with our solar system!!
It has been close to a year since the install and all is running nicely. the input tariff on our account is very close to the estimated value we were quoted. how good is that.
I am sure we picked one of the best operators in this field.
The " Girls "on the phone were just great
We were certainly ok with referring our friends to Hello Solar and have done so.

Everything works as detailed, can't ask for more.
Installation by Ando and his two colleagues was excellent, I had nothing but praise for their installation which was to my exact requirements, a system that wasn't in your face (hidden inverter) and yet comes up with the goods (credit) and gives a daily report via email; how good is that?

Its up but how efficient is it?
After organising with the head office where and how it was to be installed the guys turned up without the proper gear so panels were laid flat on a flat roof its generating power but how much? there has been no follow up as to check the system is operating efficiently or if we had any concerns or doubts about our solar.

Price and product was very good. I did however pay more for an inverter upgrade which was no problem. Paid
The guys who fit the system did a good job, but would have been better if I didn't have to ask to tidy up the roof with off cut cables and plastics.

Great service. Great product.
I can highly recommend HelloSolar. The installation was professionally and efficiently done by highly competent personnel and is working extremely well. I could not be happier with the system, the communication or the service I received at a VERY reasonable price. 12 months operation and saving me $$ in trouble free operation.

Reliable and Efficient
The entire process of installing our solar panels was easy. Hello Solar was reliable with communication and set dates and efficient with the installation. They were also helpful with applying for the government rebate.

Highly recommend hello solar
Very happy with hello solar from start to finish. Helpful throughout the process. on the day of fitting the installers were excellent. been installed a year and has saved me half the costs of my bills.
The replacement of our previous solar system and installation was exceptionally well done.
As we had upgraded a number of items from the usually supplied equipment, HelloSolar were most compliant in meeting our needs. The installation of the system was perfect, undertaken by expert and caring professional installers,.

Your team sent accurate information as required. Your team answered all questions and were great at problem solving for us. Your team were on time and did a brilliant job of putting in our solar. Your communication after the job done was excellent.
December 7th 2019 Update: Very pleased with our new solar

* we have ran air conditioning for up to 8 hours on a day of 34 deg, with a negative electricity cost on that day.
* Hello Solar staff wonderful to work with if we have any queries or questions about our solar system.
Questions & Answers
Jeffrey C.asked
If I am to purchase solar panels from Hello Solar, would I get the benefit of the Federal government's PV Small Technology Certificate (STC) Subsidy ? Would the price quoted by Hello solar be already reduced by that STC Subsidy ? I am from Queensland. How much would be the amount of the Subsidy if i am to purchase 20 solar panels from Hello Solar ?
1 answer
Ok. Well I can only tell you about mine. Yes to subsidy. Price has subsidy subtracted. You cannot get them free. I tried. Usually about 6500 - 3500 subsidy and you pay 3000. Depends on your roof accessibility and shading to number of panels and installation price. My place has full sun and low set. I paid 3000 or 3200 maybe out of my own pocket. I think it was 3000 plus 200 for something else
Roshan Fernandoasked
My panels were installed by Hello Solar on 2 Feb 2020. NMI no. at the time was 43104733376. The wifi unit was also fitted to the inverter at the time. The smart meter was installed on the 5 March and the solar system was switched on to the grid. The indicator lights on the wifi unit do not light up. Please advice.
1 answer
My inverter is a Kehua single phase which has a black module plugged in to the unit from underneath which is the wifi transmitter which my smart phone communicates with, then you need to down load the suitable app that is the 1st stage ,l have,t completed the process, because the inverter has the digital read out on the front.
Keckaasked
How long have you as a customer had to wait to get refund from Hello Solar after job was cancelled because they could not install the panels ordered
1 answer
That was not the problem. They installed the panels but we had to wait 6 months for the rebate because they messed up the paperwork.
