Very smooth process for us – Working with Ben was a very straight forward process, i cant fault them in any way through the sales process or the after care. After 4 years it's amazing to still be in credit most of the time through the energy cost rises

DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY!! – On top of not receiving the battery promised in the sales pitch, they didn't hand on the government grant, they've destroyed my shed and kitchen roof, I didn't receive all the panels I paid for and now they're tripping my power, I own a business which requires food products to remain within temperature, it is extremely disappointing and costly to have to keep throwing everything out.

Overall a Good Experience – I've received a couple of quotes from many companies for my solar energy system purchase. I found out that National Solar is the best choice because of the best price, quality, service, warranty, installation & so on Ben is an expert and has very strong knowledge about solar products and industries in Australia. He explained in more details and… Read more

gave me the best consulting so I decided to go this company.

The installation was very smooth and professional. The only reason I gave them 4 stars is because my installation was rescheduled a couple of times.

Also, they guided my growatt inverter app set up so I didn't need to do anything.

After the installation, they organized all my warranty documents including registration.

If you are still hesitating to choose a solar company, don't waste your time. National Solar will give you the best solution.

I highly and absolutely recommend this company.

Fantastic job to the perfection! – Being out in regional vic we did not had many options to choose from for our hybrid solar system installation We approached a few local companies who were horrendously expensive and none of the other companies had any presence here in the country side and they were all wanting us to do everything over the phone and send pics back and forth and… Read more

we were getting nowhere with all of that

We contacted National Solar and Harry came out to see us who was absolutely amazing to deal with- he explained all our questions in details and helped us with all the paperwork side of things

After couple of weeks once things got approved Tristian and his team did our site and those guys were extremely professional in the installation as well and left the property spotless at the end.

We are extremely impressed with the whole process and would highly recommend anyone looking for quick and efficient services!

Great service provide company! – I'm overjoyed that National Solar installed our solar system. I had no prior knowledge of the solar sector, and when I began my research, I thought it was a somewhat complicated one, and getting quotations from different suppliers resulted in a lot of phone spam. After I learned about National Solar, David came out and gave me a thorough… Read more

explanation of how everything worked, which immediately put me at ease. Even with my young son's interruptions, he was incredibly thorough and patient. I was able to evaluate offers from competitors with confidence after he gave me an explanation of solar because I understood what I wanted and didn't want in a system.There were no unsolicited calls, and David never put any pressure on them. Upon conducting additional investigation, I was

Can’t find a fault! – Panels seems great, battery and inverter is reputable. The guys doing the install were excellent, took great care and did the job with the kind of attention to detail as if they were doing the job for their own family. The inquiry, quote, and sales process was easy and friendly, not pushy at all, and very responsive to multiple questions. Highly recommended business!

Good process overall – We have recently installed 6.6 kW solar system by National Solar in our property and are very happy with everything from start to end. The system is working very well and we had no issues. The installer team also were very friendly and professional and did the job in the same day.

Not happy – Had solar put on in May 2023 . No problems there but still waiting for battery to be installed as promised would be on in December 2023, still not on. ( [Name Removed] ) did sale but no follow on contact. [Name Removed] has been able to take our questions, and try to help us.

Total rip off buyers beware – Had a sit down with a sales rep and was lied to and mislead. Stated what I wanted and needed outlined use and presented another quote stated that wanted large. Got ripped off soo bad. Taking legal action hope others heed this warning.

PLEASE HELP – I have made contact with the team at the office several times over the past two months and was told that someone would call me to come out to assist, however, no one has contacted me at all. The panels that were installed in July are not working and we also need some understanding of the App that can be installed so we can monitor them. I have… Read more

ALERT for anyone considering this company – We had solar installed 13 months ago (sold by [Name Removed]) the deal was a two stage process with installation in 3 weeks followed by a $9000 battery included in the deal to be installed in 6 months! Harry wrote it all down and with the inclusion of the battery component it was good value! WHAT BATTERY?? It was total lies and nonsense! Unable to… Read more

contact them, just an answering service with no return calls. Emails don’t work either! DO NOT go ahead with trusting these people without solid signed evidence of the WHOLE deal! They are deceptive and devious with no respect for the hard earned money we have paid them! They should not be allowed to operate and when the governing bodies get back to me they have promised action! These companies should not be allowed to operate! BEWARE and do your homework! I am not the only one they have done this to , legal action is being pursued!

No Follow-Up, Won’t Return Calls, Left in Limbo… – Still waiting for important follow-up information after our system was installed 1.5 months ago. I’ve texted, emailed and phoned both the salesman and the company several times with no reply. Not happy Jan! Update 15 months later: Whatever you do, do not sign up with this company as they lied about the government grant - originally told us by… Read more

phone we’d been approved, but no paperwork was received to submit to the government authorities, and we were told it would be paid off in half the time due to the credits we would receive but they have been minimal to say the least, and overall we will end up paying $11960 for 6kw of solar panels.

Very Informative & Professional Team – I'm so happy we had our solar system installed wi National Solar . I didn't know anything about solar and when I first started researching, I felt like it was quite complex industry, and asking for quotes from other providers lead to a lot of phone spam. Then I discovered s National Solar and David came out and explained how everything worked and… Read more

made me feel really comfortable. He was extremely thorough and patient, even battling through the interruptions from my young son. After he explained solar to me, I was able to confidently compare offers from competitors because I knew what I did and didn't want in a system.David never applied any pressure and there were certainly no spam calls. After further research I was certain that I wanted to purchase through National solar and again they were so fast to organize the installation for me and made everything so easy. The installation team were efficient, friendly and polite. Libby called on the day to check in and see how things were going. I've been very impressed too with the friendly after sales service, and I love the system and the app that comes with it

Great experience over all – This company was not the first one contacted about my proposed installation. From the outset I felt confident that I was not dealing with one of the many cowboys out there. Libby was the person on the other end of the phone and I found her to be knowledgeable, patient and innovative regarding a potential installation problem I was concerned about.… Read more

After a number of conversations it all came together and went ahead smoothly. Also. the installation team were first rate and I cannot commend them highly enough. Andy - you are a champ!

Knowledgeable And Professional Teams – After contacting National Solar Chris rang to discuss my options and worked up a couple of quotes. He seemed to want to ensure we got a system that was fit for our needs, and wasn’t pushy at all. On the day of the installation, the team showed up on time, were very friendly, and worked efficiently to get it all done to the timeline provided… Read more

despite the weather being less than ideal. Once the installation was complete, the installer ran through the app and the system. Chris also rang to ensure everything went smoothly and ensure I was up and running with the monitoring. Throughout the purchasing and installation process, Sarah (Office Manager) was very responsive and provided clear and concise information regarding payments and timelines. Fantastic company to work with, and we’re very happy with the system they recommended.

Overall a good experience – From quotation to installation was very smooth and easy. They were open in providing true information. The cost of the system was reasonable for the quality of the components installed (LONGI panels and fronius inverter). In my opinion, National Solar quote was better than the other quotes i have received considering both cost and quality.

Straight forward process from Start till finish – There are a lot of Solar companies out there, and we used the reviews of solar businesses mainly to get a number of quotes. NATIONAL solar Power was our choice of installer and the whole process was professional and prompt both price and service wise. Thank you.

Best Decision Ever – My Prtmer and I did our research in regard to obtaining quotes and installation of a brand new solar package for our home. Out of 8 different solar companies we found National Solar to be above the rest when it came to price and the information and installation required. The team at National Solar are true professionals and love our new system. … Read more

With the smart metre we can see just how much power we are consuming and saving. Our neighbours had Solar Power installed and couldn't be more than happy with their system.

We put in a 13.28KW Solar System 32 X Longi 415M Solar Panels 1 X Sungrow Solar 10K KW System a

We have not paid a Power bill yet and are in Credit most of the time.

So a big thank you to Harpon and his team at National Solar for our wonderful solar package and I highly recommend this business if you're thinking to going solar.

offered us an installation 1 week earlier and we happily accepted. The installation team arrived promptly and ran through the procedure with us. They were all polite, professional, and very experienced and the entire process was faultless. Very impressed with everything from the first contact to installation and then the courtesy follow-up call. Absolutely PERFECTION PLUS & we had a totally different experience to how some of the other people have posted regarding them where it looks like they are being attacked by their competitors

Total rip-off – complete [Content Removed] Salesman [Name Removed] was very deceitful told us that the installers would come from The closest city to me Albury. That the new 6.6 kw system could be added to our 4.3 kw system. The installers arrived they were from Melbourne and pretty rough. They told me the best thing to do… Read more

was take the old panels off and replace them with the new ones, I regretfully agreed. My wife was told that if she didn’t pay $12000 it wouldn’t be connected. She paid, Now I can’t contact national solar about the $5000 rebate or why so expensive.

Very poor service – From the day the solar panels and synergy up graded my meter box. The system has not worked, made numerous calls to them and never received a call back. It took over four weeks for any respond. No body came and had a look at the unit. Stay away from them.

Overall a good experience – We decided to get our installation done from this company. The process overall was good- we were a bit dissapointed that we had to wait upto 6 weeks for our installation as we were expecting it to happen a bit sooner than that. Otherwise all their teams did a good and clean job.

[Content Removed] – These are [Content Removed] that promise warranties etc but there is no way of contacting them. They ignore all calls to the 3rd party answering service shown on their very impressive web site. They will arrange delayed payment via Brighte and after that you will have no leverage to get them to do anything as you now owe a third party. An awful… Read more

company. Do not deal with them. I don’t know what the other reviewers who gave them 5 stars are doing. Most likely company personnel. Im sure they will not give 5 stars then.

Rip off – Its a rip off company. They will promise something in sales pitch and do something else after. Have no professionalism, have to chase even for the payment receipt. Stay away from them, you can find good solar in half the price. Just stay away from them and don’t let them come to your house.

Great experience – It took about two months from order to installation, from getting the approvals, then the inverters were OOS. As soon they got stock, installation took place the next day I received the call, done over two days due to rain and very windy, all up took less than 8 hours for the installation. I spoke to the tradies to make sure if they broke any… Read more

tiles to replace them as I gave them spare ones, broke two, replaced two. As far I’m concerned at my place they did a great job, I was talking to tradies during the process and they were very obliging. Even dealing with the people in the office was great, calls returned within minutes, unlike some places you never get a call back. Great experience, thanks National Solar
