Very Disappointed Customer I have been a royal customer to LECA, they installed solar panels, they installed hot water system which were all good. When I get information regarding government battery rebates, I was keen to have a battery install at my home to cut down utility bill, I responded to the message, LECA was quick with the paper work and … Read more

battery was installed on 28th October 2025, took us whole day without power in the house due to installation, when battery was installed, it was not reading and not functioning , it turn out there was faulty parts ( smart mater) leaving installation incomplete, it’s was ordered and delivered on the 4th November 2025, from there I have been waiting for LECA to come back to complete installation but it’s became difficult, when I call LECA sometime they don’t answer their phone but replaying with texts messages lying and not promises to get done whenever I managed to get them but never show up, LECA is abide by consumer laws and regulations but they have failed their responsibility uphold, I have fully paid for the battery $8,134 of my pocket and Solar Victoria rebates which they will claim, I’m very disappointed, unhappy to waste so much money on a battery that is not beneficial to my home, I’m still paying full electricity while my aim was to cut down on electricity bills. LECA is leaving me no option but to seek my money refund and LECA can collect their battery. I have young family and LECA cheat me. How is it so difficult to get installation completed. PLEASE IF YOU WANT PRODUCTS/SERVICE GO ELSEWHERE, DON’T GO WITH LECA AGAIN.

Damaged property/not working – Please do not use this company. Sales rep turned up to our house spent about 2 hours grinding out the details and what would work best for us. Then the installers turned up, without even setting foot on my property he already stated that the sales rep “are idiots and know nothing”. I left for work and came home to find they had just put the… Read more

panels in easiest spot for them not what works best. Same with the inverter, they just put it where it would be easy to fit, did not follow the quote that we spent 2 hours getting right. On top of that they also drilled through the ceiling 14 times in 2 different rooms and were blissfully unaware of the mistake. They then burnt holes in in a $2000 sofa when trying to “fix” their poor workmanship. They then threatened to send debt collectors as I wasn’t going to pay for the work in full. We are 3 months down the line they offered me $200 which barely buys the paint to fix the holes in the ceiling let alone replace our brand new sofa. We are still not connected to the grid because they can’t seem to send the correct form to the energy company. And the app that they talk so highly about doesn’t work. I urge you to use another company and not make the same mistake we did

I recently had an 11 kW solar PV system with a 28.8 kWh battery installed by LECA, and I couldn’t be happier. Even with my lower energy usage, I chose this setup to future-proof my fully electric home and take full advantage of the federal rebate. The consultation and quotation were clear and transparent, with the team providing a detailed… Read more

proposal that made the decision easy. Parth, the Installation Manager, coordinated everything perfectly, keeping me updated throughout. Brandon handled the installation with great professionalism — the work was neat, tidy, and well-explained.

After-sales support has been excellent, with prompt follow-up and help setting up the monitoring app. I highly recommend LECA for anyone considering solar and battery solutions.

Save your money do not enter any contract with leca solar 4k over priced – Just recently had a door knocker selling Home solar from Lighting & Energy Conservation Australia. The salesman [name removed] was very good and knowledgeable he took care of everything, we singed up there and then [name removed] did the rebate and finance for us on the spot and we are approved' even arranged a installation date this is too… Read more

good.

BUT the next day found out i could get the same system threw most supplier installed between 4000 and 4630 cheaper so i quickly cancelled withing the 10 days cooling off period. After having another local company come and install the system i showed them the quote and he was blown away by how messy it was and found over priced products and a hidden charge of $3525.70 for installation when it states N/A.

Not only this i never received the QR code or contract for the solar vic rebate which you get the installer to scan upon installation this is meant to stop scammers from just claiming it unwillingly on you behalf, Id say that is why he applied for the rebate for us' he must of slipped his own mobile number and e-mail in. Lucky i called up and cancelled the solar vic rebate and rate setter finance myself other wise he would have made small fortune off us for a couple of hours work and i would be stuck paying for it.

i will add a copy of the quote to this review so others don't fall in to the trap fyi my final payout with another company was $691 compared to $4953

Please warn other of LECA door knockers and cold callers this company needs to be investigated how many vulnerable people are being ripped off blind we will never know.

LECA earns the money with hard work! – It's a great expeirence to begin the Solar Journey with LECA. They don't just give you a desgin basd off google map, a guy came to my place, looked into my electric boards, checked my roof then a plan come out. I am convinced with the plan also requested a number of other things coz I did my own homework too. With installation started, experienced… Read more

works completed the job within 6 hours without too much hassles. It would be better if guys can be more elaborative on a questions, but I am satisfied mostly.

Outstanding Solar experience – Outstanding Solar Installation experience!” I recently had the pleasure of working with leca for the installation of a solar system on my property,and I couldn’t be more impressed with the entire process from start to finish. From the initial consultation with Zobair and Lachlan they guided me through the entire process from start to… Read more

finish,addressing all my concerns and ensuring that the system was tailored to meet my specific needs with their profound knowledge of solar systems. The quality of the installation exceeded my expectations.The attention to detail was evident in every aspect from the placement of the panels to the wiring and integration into my homes electrical system.Not only does it function flawlessly but it looks sleek snd seamless on my roof. I am thrilled with my new solar system ,not only am I saving money but I am also contributing to a more sustainable future. I wholeheartedly recommend leca to anyone considering solar solutions.

First Time Solar Customers – great friendly customer service - they call when they say they are going to call and reply to emails to keep you updated. It's a complicated process getting solar panels - didn't realise how many services are actually involved Show details

Great customer experience! – LECA have been great through the whole process. The initial conversations with Clint he met with me and my family multiple times and made sure we all understood the different options. Purchasing and installing was an easy process. We have had the system for 5 months now and my internet played up and disconnected. I couldn’t reconnect the inverter… Read more

so I gave Clint a call. He was happy to help me get in touch with Sandy who helped me troubleshoot the system and get it working again. Highly recommend super helpful both while buying and afterwards!

Good support from staff – Had nothing but good repor with technical staff. However the installation team didn't seal the holes they drilled into the roof of the shed, so there was some water damage. The installation process was very easy, they were able to come in and get it done in no time.

Beware of doorknockers – Two young girls representing LEC Australia just knocked on my door trying to sell me solar panels. I had to ask what company they represented and had never heard of them. I told them it is my policy not to buy from doorknocking sales people and that I do my research online. The girl suggested I look them up online, so I did and found these… Read more

reviews. Based on what most people are saying, I made the right decision and have dodged a bullet. I will stick to my policy of politely closing the door in the face of door to door sales people.

Think again before choosing this company! – Installation date is always re-scheduled and none let you know after waiting for a long day and until you contacted them. Three times have been re-scheduled, just for installation. They are un-professional in customer service.

Solar nightmare – The company customer service and payments are super dodgy. Made a booking for appointment on three occasions, and finally when the person showed up started explaining terms and payment options totally different from what was discussed over the phone with the office. Tried calling the office the next day to verify and the representative was extremely rude! Dodged a bullet not dealing with them!!

Buyer beware – Buyer beware.i exercised my cooling off as i found 4 major mistakes in my contract /quote.Contracts/quotes are poorly written on carbon paper which are hard to read and understand and use vague language like jinko 24 with no model numbers or information. My wishes were for high efficiency 18_19% mono panels but it appears lower efficiency were… Read more

slipped in quote. I was also promised 10/10/10/25 year warranty but this was missing from quote/Contract and had 5 years instead. Lesson learnt. Get at least 4 CEC accredited quotes and don't rush ( was able to reduce LECA original price by more than 25%) Make sure anything promised is clearly written and with model numbers

This company will misinform you in order to get a sale!!!! – They appear to be well and good and having your best interests, but really this company is terrible. They knocked on our door to sell solar panels and we organised a meeting. We ended up getting solar panels installed and we told we needed to apply for the rebate AFTER installing them. I have just received my documentation to submit to the Solar… Read more

Victoria (Victorian Government) which is not dated and our address is spelt wrong on the majority of the documents. I called up Solar Victoria to see if this is an issue, which is most certainly is, plus they told us that LECA has misinformed us and we need to apply for the rebate BEFORE installing the solar panels. We are now in the situation where we may not get the rebate, yet one of the reasons why we installed them was to get the rebate - which we were told by LECA we would get. Please shop around and look at better companies. We have also found out that our solar panels are more expensive than most other ones. We have seriously been ripped off and misinformed.

Absolutely terrible – Extremely disappointed with this company, they have supplied and installed solar panels nearly 6 months ago but the panels haven't been connected to anything - this is an absolute joke.
