System broke down after 4 years still under warranty. Several calls and 3 months later I have still not received a call back. Intact my calls just go straight to message bank and no replies. Ended up paying another company to fix the issues. Poor electrical work and the inverter had faulted was the cause.. once they have your money they don't care about honouring their warranty or word. Would not recommend. Please choose someone else Show details
We signed a contract with Pioneer solar on the 10/11/25, paid them a $1700 deposit. 2 1/2 months later had no contact so called them, told how busy they were and they would get back. Called half a dozen more times, no better. Its been 24 weeks and still no Solar/Battery system. Have started a complaint process. Do not recommend Pioneer Solar. Show details
Follow-up · After reviews I was contacted by Pioneer Solar. They scheduled and rescheduled install dates but couldnt organise so we settled with money back. Now in the process of looking at installing elsewhere without the support of the battery rebates that have past.

My freedom is close – Pioneer Solar once again has taken my system to a new level. I finally have my first Tesla battery and I can’t wait for the first day I have no electricity due to storm activity or for no reason at all. This step now given me back my power (excuse the punt) to have that worry anymore. Show details
Love our new battery system – We found Pioneer Solar very pleasant to deal with. Their knowledge and advice for our home situation helped us to decide on what we needed. The battery was installed in a day and we are enjoying the benefits of self sufficient living. Show details · 1

Negative reviews
I bought a solar system that was comprised by solar panels, two inverters and a battery from them. The installed the system wrong and is not working properly. The battery gets discharged on its own every day. The manufacturer confirmed that this is an installation issue. Pioneer Solar has the worst (I mean non existent) customer service. For 3… Read more
months I been trying by phone and email to get someone on the line to come and fix the system. No replies from them. Took the money and ran. I had to escalate to Customer Affairs Victoria and still no luck. I will have to go down the legal route to try and get my money back.
In a market with many solar installation companies there is no reason to choose this one. They are the worst and you are setting up your self for many years of pain. Do not do it.
Pioneer solar and Rahul are sub human low life filthy lying thieves do not do business with these sub human dogs . No after sales support at all Rahul is a lying piece of trash !!! All u will get from these ppl are lies lies and more lies absolute low life lying scum run a fkn mile . If you’re about to sign a contract with these dogs FKN DONT !!!! You will regret it trust me!!!!
WATER DAMAGED ROOF – Due to poor installation water has damaged inside ceiling of house causing extensive damage. Repeated phone calls to head office has been answered by administration and given no help. Emails have been ignored. I have asked to speak to a responsible party being the manager but that person does not seem to exist. As customers and consumers you would… Read more
expect a quick response about any enquiry relating to a service a company has provided after paying them your hard earned money. SHAME ON YOU PIONEER SOLAR.

I had the best sale man, Terry, who was completely honest with me, gave me the cheapest price, explained how everything worked and not only that, i found out he lives 2 doors down from me. My neighbour that I wasn't aware of. My appt with Terry was on the 24/2/26. Then I stuffed up by not completing the documentation online and Terry dropped in to… Read more
let me know.. My 25kw battery and inverter was installed by 2 lovely electrician , who were on time, cleaned up after themselves, removed the rubbish and explained everything to me, even my dog loved them. The job looks perfect and neat. They did forget the bollard and said they will have it installed this Monday. I even had the EWR submitted by the electricians by a confirmation email by Ergon on the 15/4/26. One day after installation. Two days late a lovely gentleman, named Rahul, called me to see if all went ok. He really didn't have to do that. The job was completed on the 14//4/26. Thats 7 weeks from start to finish, really 6 week because i stuffed up week. All and all it was one of the best experience I've had when dealing with a company. Everything was co-ordinated well. A very professional team. I did a lot of research and there are many doggie companies out there.. If you live in and around Bundaberg, go with Terry - 0429720400, you wont be disappointed.

Has been great so far and all working good – Sandy from Pioneer has been great to deal with, always following up on everything. The boys were great with the installation and letting us know everything that was going on and answered all of our questions about different things Show details
It’s great to be feeding green energy into the grid – The Pioneer Solar guys were polite, tidy and efficient when they put the 15KW system into my warehouse art and sewing studio and it’s working well. However, I didn’t realize that the inverter has a noisy cooling fan and it’s right next to my main meeting space so I’m now having to rearrange the space to mitigate the noise level. The system has… Read more
generated over 500KW of power since it was installed and most of that went into the grid, so I’m part of the green energy solution and am very happy about that.
Should have done this earlier! – Highly satisfied with installation of solar panels. Installers were very professional and would definitely recommend this company. Show details

Happy customers!!! – I began the journey of exploring solar panel for our place. All the companies I tried either oversold or were just plain rude with no customer service skills or had the time to answer questions. Then I was recommended to Pioneer Solar… first I thought this was going to be the same experience as the previous companies, was I wrong!! I got a… Read more
call from Shannan Moss of Pioneer Solar. Customer service from Shannan is extraordinary. He went outside his comfort zone to help us understand no matter how many questions we had. Also, what impressed me the most is that he didn’t try to oversell or include any unnecessary items, I appreciated his honesty.
We are very happy with the product and the service. We will highly recommend this company to anyone wanting to install solar panels.

very happy with our Installation – I t should be the perfect system for us 6.6 because we just had a large air conditioner put in and living in Queensland we will be taking as much advantage of the Sun as we can, The installation was done very promptly and worked in to suit our day and was very professionally and tidy to a very high standard and plans, at a good deal and can track our energy input via the phone on the internet .

Solar just installed - not up and running yet – Installation occurred over 2 days. Installers, electrician and supervisors were professional and the work was completed to a high standard. The salesman was very patient with me and thorough in responding to all my requests, questions and verifications, however upon install I was disappointed that after trying to dot all the i’s and cross all… Read more
the t’s before going ahead, and the salesman aware that I wanted the system to be as invisible as possible, that the brackets and rails are shiny stainless whilst the panel frames are black. And yes it is noticeable. Also a house near by looks to have no brackets visible. Is that a better method? I will speak to the salesman about this so it may benefit others.
Initial consultation – Spoke with Shannon Moss at length today. Very helpful and knowledgeable about solar products.Decided to proceed with a 6.65 kilowatt system. My system was installed approximatelytwo weeks later,the installer's were on time and completed the installation in a timely manner. Good understandable information given on how to monitor electricity being produced. I have had a good experience with Shannon and the company, well done great service. Show details

Wonderful detailed and competative quote as well as clear communications throughout every step of the process. It all seems to be working well so thank you for installing my new Solar system! Highly recommended. Show details
Very happy with Pioneer Solar – Again - very happy with my system. Had done research on solar companies for 4+ years. Talking to Sandy he provided all relevant facts but most importantly - it wasn't a hard sell. He gave various options. I was impressed with the genuineness/ honesty & the products (panels/ inverter/ battery system) which other installers had quoted at much… Read more
higher value options. My system's been live for over a month now. will update this review when there is a maintenance issue - That's an important aspect of a company's review, how well they respond - but as of now, 5 STARS(plus) Pioneer Solar as I'm very happy with the system at the moment. THANK YOU very much Sandy and team
Perfect – No issues with the company, easy installation for a house with complex access issues. Shannan was very helpful and professional. Pioneer solar made the whole process very smooth including the installation Show details
Great service! – Gave me definite time lines which they stuck to. Took out the old panels and installed the new ones and were very hard working and tidy. Installers were very friendly. Look forward to years of little or no power bills. Show details · 1
