Would not recommend to anyone. 12kw System installed at our property was non compliant and zero rectification offered whatsoever. I have reached out to Andrew and Ideal Solar on multiple occasions, with denials and no support whatsoever. Despite confirming to Ideal Solar that multiple electricians had confirmed the issues with their installation,… Read more
I am yet to receive any form of solution.
After this concerning and appaling behaviour from Ideal, the electrical safety office was contacted and they visited my site. They confirmed the issues, and are undertaking compliance action. Be wary of Ideal Solar, as they are not the holders of the electrical contractor licences, and they subcontract all the installations to multiple electrical contractors in the region. They do not stand behind their work despite what the sales pitch says, and will run a mile at the first sign of trouble. There are an ubandance of Solar installers in Brisbane, so why take a risk with cowboys?

Terrible con artisfs – iDeal solar is a sales company that doesn't do their own installs they sub them out. Their salesmen do not have designer solar accredited tickets and rely on the accreditation of their subs. Their designs are flawed as my was and required redesign on site. A month after tbe install I got a call from the sub (installer) asking if there was… Read more
something wrong with the install as they haven't been paid. I said that was odd, I played the day after the install complete. Now since iDeal uses some energy company to find the sub they are now threatening to remove the system that I've paid for unless iDeal pays them. After finding this out I did some checking on my system only to find out I could have got this installed for 10k less than what I was charged. It's disguisting that this company takes advantage and doesn't pay their subs and I'm involved in this mess trying to help the installers get paid for what they deserve. Meanwhile it sounds like Josh and Andrew have pocketed the 26k plus the stc rebates and are screwing everyone else out of it. Now its been two months and the installer say they can't get a call back from the company.
Do yourself a favour and go elsewhere.
iDeal Solar is a SCAM! [Name Removed] (The clown) ripped us off – During the analysis and prediction session with [Name Removed], I was told that we would get some good returns from the solar system that justifies the $312 monthly commitment (we financed the system). At this session, [Name Removed] was confident we would not have this bill out of pocket since the solar generation "exploring the worst scenario"… Read more
would generate enough revenue to cover the costs and even return around $50 in credit. We were left with a $312 finance bill for the next 57 months and an electricity bill of around $80/month. This is more than what we paid before, which was $160 a month and WITHOUT any system. In the picture attached is the so-called estimate [Name Removed] (the clown) gave based on the "worst case scenario" Hence he advised we would receive credit enough that would pay the monthly charge of the lender.
Even though we have now a solar system we have no peace of mind when it comes to consumption, having to watch every light on, TV, and other appliances on standby mode. I won't even mention the constant switch-offs that happen in the inverter every week!
BE AWARE OF THIS CLOWN, he will have no shame in taking your money and promising something anywhere close to reality. I had to take this matter to the Ombudsman which couldn't do much as usual. But either way now they have a record of unfair practices there.
Very Happy with replacement System – Very Smooth install, Guys delivered on what they said. Solar Analytics very good also. All done on new 6.6kw sys in one day. Removed old system and mounting and all gone clean and tidy.
These guys certainly have the WOW factor – Warren an the team at Ideal Solar were under no obligation to sort an issue we were concerned about but fix it they did promptly, efficiently and professionally. I would have no hesitation in recommending this great bunch of guys to anyone looking at installing solar. Show reply
Looked at cheaper options – We did a lot of research. IDeal Solar provided a Power Saving Guarantee and well priced. 3rd Part system monitoring first class. No one would match their offer. Fantastic result. Show 2 replies
