Inefficient product-poor customer service – Our panels have been steadily decreasing in output since the year after they were installed 6 years ago. They are now only producing a quarter of what they were. Customer service is useless, they don’t answer their phones and don’t call you back. They take your money before they will even come out to look at the issue. They were allegedly going… Read more
to replace the panels under warranty but we are still waiting. They tell us electricians will turn up but they never arrive. Useless customer service. Do not use Integra Solar if you want solar that works.
I recently had a solar system installed by Integra Solar at my home in Hampton Park, and the entire experience was excellent. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the team was professional, helpful, and easy to deal with. They provided clear information about the system, rebates, and expected performance, which made the… Read more
decision process much easier.
A special mention goes to Hakim, the electrician who handled the installation. He was punctual, respectful, and clearly very experienced. He took the time to walk me through the setup, answered all my questions, and made sure everything was running smoothly before leaving. The quality of workmanship was outstanding — neat, tidy, and done with great care.
I’ve been monitoring the system since it went live, and it’s performing just as expected. I’m already seeing a noticeable drop in my electricity usage from the grid, which is exactly what I was hoping for.
It’s always great to deal with a company that delivers on its promises. Integra Solar provided great value for money and a hassle-free experience. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking to install solar panels. It’s a smart investment, and Integra made the whole process simple and stress-free.
I would not recommend Integra Energy Group Solar-poor customer service – My wife and I did not know much about Solar panels but were keen to try to help the environment and hopefully set up some long term savings by installing solar panels. We were contacted by an Integra Energy Group sales person and as we were thinking about this decided to go ahead with installing 14 panels with 4KW. These cost just under $8500 for… Read more
the panels and installation and initially all was well. However, we noticed that we were not getting a lot of solar credit from our electricity bills (eg $7 rebate from a $819 electricity bill and $11 rebate from a $530 bill). We tried to contact Integra Energy Group on multiple occasions over weeks leaving messages on their answering machine with no response. We ended up paying a separate company another $500 to check the panels as we assumed something was not right. They said the panels were dirty and cleaned them but couldn’t find anything else wrong. Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to have helped and we are still getting minimal rebate for our outlay. This is despite having my wife and young kids at home during the day and trying to use electricity eg washing, cleaning etc during the day. We still haven’t heard from Integra and regret using them. We would recommend using someone who is reputable and is available for follow up and troubleshooting if issues arise. Integra Energy Group unfortunately does not fit this bill.

poor workmanship – We had a solar system installed by integra solar A week later my ducted heating failed i got the heating technicians out and they found that the wires had melted. Upon further investigation by another electrician it was found that a couple of wires were back to front in my switch board which in turn could have started a fire in the roof. Integra… Read more
solar management have refused to take responsibility of the mistake which is both appalling and disappointing to say the least.

European Solar System – Recently I searched for a Solar System for my Home and was surprised to find that Integra Solar are the only Company supplying and Installing European Solar Products. This was a surprise as the whole Industry is represented by Non European Solar Systems. Thank you Integra. Great Installation, Amazing Price for a Quality European System. George, Henley Beach SA Show details
Brilliant – Integra did a great job installing my solar, the process was hassle free. They arrived the day they had booked it with me and efficiently installed 20 panels, and the inverter. Show details
Happy with Integra (Recommended Retailer)! – From the very start I contacted Integra I have had nothing but great service. They explained everything I needed to know about Solar and made the Process easy. They were very quick to organise an Installation date and even though we had inclement weather they were able to Install the System the very next day! Thank you Integra! Love your work! Show details

Garbage – The worst solar company in Australia. Great when you want an installation done, but when there's a problem, nowhere to be found. My system is less than 5 years old, and is barely working. A problem with the inverter that I can't get dealt with. Don't answer their phones. Get the run around with emails. DO NOT use this company under any circumstances. Show details
Never had such a confused and negligent service – In 2017 I contracted to have a 2.9 kW system installed in my home by Integra. As promised over a period of about a month a stream of subsontractors turned up installing panels, installing the inverter, massaging my switch board,and testind the system ??? ( it seemed). There was no overall supervision by Integra evident. About 12 months later the… Read more
local power authority arrived and installed a smart meter. Being a bit of a nerd I commenced tracking the power produced from the Solax Inverter and calculating my savings. This was all duly recorded in an Excell spreadsheet. Over the next couple of years I noticed that the power production was reducing. At first I thought it was weather related but by 2021 I realised the power being produced by the panels had fallen to about one third of the rated power. In January 2022 I got on to integra and commenced a frustrating process of denial, statements of fiction as responses, and finally an admission by them that the panels were faulty in April of this year. I was informed that they were still under warranty and would be replaced on August 10th.( booking cancelled by phone at 9:00am on the 10th!) It is now September and I have received nothing from Integra except a stony silence. At this point I have given up on receiving any meaningful respose from Integra and intend to cut my losses and get quotes to replace the panels from a reputable local installer. My further dealings regarding integra will be confined to lodging a complaint with the Clean Energy Regulator and the local Consumer Protection office.
Please do your own homework before going with Integra – I will admit I know very little about solar and I should have educated my self more before jumping in, but I did my homework on Integra (especially as they were from interstate) and thought I was going with a good company with a product that suited me, even if it was a bit pricier than what I had been looking at. I was very, very clear to the… Read more
sales rep on what I required from the system, voiced concerns that had been raised about my roof, location, benefits and definitely questioned the number of panels he recommended. He had an answer for everything and assured me that the system he was selling me was perfect for my needs, would lower my bills and pay itself off before I knew it.
One year in and I finally, at my own cost and time had the system connected to the grid ... no support from Integra ... two years in at my own cost and time I finally proved to Integra that my inverter was faulty from day one ... they replaced it but it was very hard, time consuming and no compensation for now two years of an ineffective system. Three years in and I could not understand why the perfect system sold to me was costing me money.
Integra had assured me that it was my service provider and had nothing to do with the system, they explained the data to me in their own way and assured me that it was working well. They had the unit checked and when I explained to the trades person sent by Integra what I was expecting from the unit, he assured me that it was all working well and I would see results. It was put on the back burner with COVID and I continued improving my routines as each bill came in, trying to see some benefit from having solar. Finally I have a trades person with no connection to Integra come in to service and clean the system thinking it may work better. Integra was right ... it is working fine but it was just not going to create enough energy to run anything in the house, even on the best day and was not going to generate enough to offset any bills. My solar expert wouldn't even clean it as he said it would be money that I would never earn back. He was lovely and explained that the unit I was sold would never have done what I was told it would do, would never make any difference to my bill and would never pay itself off ... basically it should never have been installed :(
I was not expecting much, especially as I was late getting on board the solar idea. I did not go in with the expectation of running my entire house on solar or grid power paying the bills. I was very clear on what I wanted and before having the rep come to my home was assured that the consultation was about finding the perfect cost effective system ... even if that meant not having one! I have spent so much time and money on top of the initial set up costs trying to get it to work the way I was told it would and have trusted the recommendations and advice from a range of people associated with Integra. I am now dealing with that awful feeling you get when you know you have put your faith in the wrong people and there is not a lot you can do about it. I can, however, share my experience. Integra have not acknowledged my formal complaints and this review is simply to warn others to do your homework before going to Integra.

Thanks Integra!!! – Very satisfied from detailed comprehensive Quote right through to Installation! A pleasure to deal with an honest representative that stood by his word. Looking forward to saving Money on my Power Bill!! Show details
Please avoid, poor workmanship, failed multiple inspections, still not compliant – Unfortunately, my experience with this installer has been a nightmare. These are the facts and I have evidence of each of the items below: - Paid for tilt brackets for a flat roof and on the install day, they claimed they were nor necessary. I have a 2 degree pitch (north facing, so yes, they are needed and this is why I paid extra for it). Even… Read more
after installing the tilt brackets, they could not get the angles right knowing that the panels were facing north in order to maximize energy production. - Installer run conduit cables right under the pool solar PVC pressure pipes. This was luckily identified on the first inspection which failed. - Solar panels brackets left loose and poorly secured. This was also picked up on the inspection - Poor roof penetrations which were also picked up on the inspection
Overall a very very poor workmanship. Nothing wrong with the panels or the inverter, but the risk associated to the install is very high. Spoke to [name removed] and a few techs multiple times, too much talk, not much corrective actions unfortunately.
I have been constantly following up with the supplier as they have not been able to get the inspection right and notify the Energy retailer so I can get the rebates.
Please avoid a future headache and think about the safety of your family.

After sales service – We moved into a house that solar panels installed prior to our purchase. Alveena from Integra helped me Obtain the paperwork to have our electricity retailer upgrade the meter to obtain the rebate for unused power. I thought the matter was finalized but the retailer did not seem to understand which forms were required. When the upgrade was not… Read more

Fast and Efficient – Integra had installed our small solar system 2 years ago and all went well. Now decided to boost our generation by adding a 2nd system. Checked around and Integra was so easy to deal with and gave a great quote so we went with them. Very prompt installation and quick to follow through and fix any minor queries that arose. I'm happy to recommend them. Show details

Wish I could give NO STARS – Worst decision EVER to go with these crooks. Came over with a slick sales technique and after numerous quotes from others as well, decided these guys would have the job. They made several promises about my bills, virtually saying that summer bills would be pretty much $0 - Paid 7k for a system which we thought would do the job. Fast forward a few… Read more
years and our bills have actually increased in cost, never seen a decrease. Due to our own tardiness, we took a while to follow them up about it. Rang them and got told that it wasnt their problem and that the company had restructured and warranties were invalid - Every excuse under the sun. Did everything right - Changed our habits, installed LED lighting, turned off unnecessary power etc etc - NOTHING. Called them again and they had the audacity to ask me to send a photo to prove the inverter was working!! Sent a photo, recent bills and they never got back to me. Have ended up calling a new company out to rip this off my roof and install an entirely new system - They looked at the supplied inverter, laughed and said in all their years of doing solar, they had never seen or heard of the brand I had been given. Expensive lesson learned - Do your homework, read reviews, take note of the dodgy stuff. I look forward to having their crap out of my life. Never buy from INTEGRA

Great installation – I have installed a 10 kw system. The tradies took 2 days. They were efficient and courteous and left the place clean and tidy. The system is working well. Integra helped me get the software on my iPad working so I can see my production. Their iPhone app software is not quite as good. Highly recommended Show details · 1

Excellent after sales service – The Technical department provided excellent after sales almost 4 years after purchase of solar panels. Would recommend Integra to anyone!!!

Great Company Wonderful Management & Staff – In January Integra Solar installed a 10 panel solar system in our home. I found their workmanship and attitude to be outstanding and professional. I was so pleased with them that I had them install a further 8 panels in June. Being a tradesman myself and very fussy, I was delighted with the neatness and quality of their work. I highly recommend Integra Solar to anyone wishing to install a solar system.
Excellent service – I found the Integra Solar staff to be very helpful and they really took care of my needs. When I encountered a small issue they listened to me and solved it very quickly. I’m very happy with their overall service. Show details
