 AI reviews summary 

Solahart receives a generally positive response for its product quality and the professionalism of many local installation teams. Customers frequently report significant reductions in energy bills and praise the efficiency of the solar hot water systems and batteries. However, there is a stark divide in customer experience based on location, with several regional branches facing heavy criticism for poor communication, long delays, and inadequate after-sales support.

Pros
Professional Installation: Many users highlight that installation crews are punctual, knowledgeable, and maintain a high standard of workmanship, often leaving sites clean and tidy.
Significant Energy Savings: Multiple reviewers report immediate and substantial reductions in electricity bills following the installation of solar panels, heat pumps, and batteries.
Product Reliability: The hardware, particularly the solar hot water systems and Silhouette panels, is frequently described as high-quality, durable, and effective even in suboptimal weather conditions.
Temporary Solutions: In cases of emergency hot water failure, certain branches provide temporary units to ensure customers are not without hot water during the waiting period for a new installation.
Cons
Poor After-Sales Service: A recurring complaint involves the difficulty of obtaining support once the initial installation is complete, with several users reporting ignored emails and unreturned phone calls regarding faults.
Significant Delays and Stock Issues: Multiple customers experienced months of delays, often with installations being cancelled at the last minute due to stock shortages or scheduling conflicts.
Property Damage: There are several reports of installers breaking roof tiles or ridge capping during installation and either failing to inform the homeowner or attempting to patch the damage with silicone.
Inconsistent Communication: Feedback indicates a lack of transparency regarding government incentive timelines, quote follow-ups, and technician arrival times, particularly in regional areas.
Verdict

Solahart is a reliable choice for high-quality solar products that deliver proven financial savings, making it a strong contender for those prioritising equipment longevity. However, the experience is highly dependent on the specific local franchise, as some branches struggle significantly with communication and post-installation repairs. Prospective customers should research their local office's specific reputation for after-sales service before committing to a purchase.

I was disappointed that the identification of the installed battery is entirely different to that of the battery I paid for. Since we discussed 2 different batteries, I have no way of knowing that the. battery installed is the one I paid for. Show details ·  1

I’m really happy with my solar system overall. The system itself is performing well and doing exactly what I hoped it would, with strong generation and reliable battery performance. The installation process was smooth and professional. The team clearly knew what they were doing, communicated well, and the workmanship looks neat and well thought… Read more

What really stood out was the after-sales support from Neil from Solarhart far North Coast. Any questions or issues I had were taken seriously and followed up properly. It’s reassuring knowing that support doesn’t disappear once the install is finished.

Overall, a great experience from start to finish. I’d confidently recommend both the system and the installer to others looking to go solar.

Had a Solar Edge battery added to my solar panel system (previously installed by Solahart) in Newcastle in Nov 2025. Multiple attempts to get follow-up by phone and email have not proved successful. The problems are around my system drawing some of my power from the grid despite having a battery at half charge and producing some solar at the time.… Read more ·  1

Early phone calls were politely handled by a woman who must have been new to the company - because she took copious notes - but didn't seem to understand the terminology. I followed up the calls with emails but received no response. I also requested the installer to leave my hot water system connected to off-peak, but have since discovered that it was moved to the standard mains connection.

UPDATE - July 2026: After my above review (where I gave a 2 star rating), Solahart got back to me. The problem with using mains power instead of battery storage has been fixed remotely and they are sending someone to reconnect the HWS to the off-peak/controlled load power supply. They also provided a gift card to cover the extra power costs since installation. I've now edited my review to a four star rating.

I found the Solarhart team to be both courteous and professional. A ten year warranty gives peace of mind also. What's not to like about this, if you can afford the initial cost, that admittedly is not dirt cheap. But good quality I guess comes at a price. Show details ·  1

Purchased 4 years ago. Unit was more expensive as it is Grid Interactive which all sounds good but in that time it has required two repairs. One under warranty, the other will cost $550 for a part replacement. My old roof mounted solar unit was not as smart (grid interactive) but lasted 20 years without a problem. Solahart have been good to deal with but I do not recommend this product.

times, more faults and finally on Monday 16th June, 5 months later, things hopefully sorted but its only been 3 days so i wont hold my breath. Staff not following through on organizing technicians, 1 staff member in particular, no apology at all , told absolute [Content Removed] excuses and reasons why it was turned off at times (they blamed us, said we turned it off or someone came into our property and turned it off, we live in a gated community) stay away from solar hart frazer coast!! Once they have your money you go to the bottom of the heap and they are more interested in new installs than coming to fix your issues. I would give them no stars or rating if i could.they even had the hyde to try and charge me $165 to check if the system had internet connection issues saying they will do it "complimentary" after i disputed the fee.

 Follow-up  · Update - the system has since been working correctly once fixed at no cost to us except of course higher power bills. As we live in an over 50's village, the solar is an in-bedded system and we have no choice but to use Solar Hart. No other provider can install nor work on our solar. In light of that, about 6 months ago we decided to obtain a… Read more

 Follow-up  · cleanup was great they removed the old one no rubbish at all left, No permits were required that I know of supply of the new system, removal of the old one including taking it away. All the plumbing etc was included the price ready to go. we have called them back twice for minor things one that was not their problem but they arranged for a plumber to come for us Great service it would be wonderful if all businesses were like them.

I had the Solahart Rockingham Technician Liam attend my property to replace parts under warranty to stop a water hammer issue that had only occurred since having the brand new system installed. After replacing those parts, he then replaced another part which eventually fixed the issue. I was then told after installing this part; that this was not… Read more

covered under warranty and I would have to pay for this part, but was advised the labour would be covered under warranty. I then proceeded to pay for the part. The following week I received another invoice for the labour of installing that additional part which took all of an extra 3mins because that part wasn't under warranty. When I rang the office, I was told that the Solahart Rockingham technician Mick (Liam's boss) was insisting the additional labour charge be paid for the extra 3mins Liam was there installing the non-warranty part. I explained to Suzanne (at the office) what transpired when Liam attended; including Mick being abrasive on the phone to me about the water hammer not being their fault, even though as the customer you would naturally want to rectify an issue that only occurred AFTER they attended. Suzanne was great and said she would speak with Mick and get back to me. A week later Mick calls me insisting on the extra labour charge for the additional 3mins work undertaken by Liam. He also advised me that he was doing me a favour by charging me the extra $150, instead of $200 for the additional 3mins work. In summary, I was left feeling utterly disappointed by Mick's poor conduct and customer service.

Waited over 12 months for solar panels and Tesla batteries to be installed. We always had to follow up, and always received excuses why it couldn’t be installed. Absolutely terrible customer service. They’re still selling a product they can’t provide. Now trying to bill us for the removal of an old solar hot water system they took off our roof, to make way for panels they failed to install. I do not recommend. Show details

a five star rating was because of the 5 month wait for the commencement of installation which I realise was because of the increase in purchasers wanting to take advantage of government rebates.

Solahart Heat Pump Hot water system is the best hot water system possible. We already had an old heat pump, over 15 years of being used and the new Solahart version is remarkably better. It is quiet and can be timed to suit your cheaper electricity times. That saves a lot of electricity use. The Solahart family really care about their customers and are professional and knowledgeable. Show details ·  1
