I contracted SpaceSolar to replace a SolarEdge inverter (they were the original installer). Following their installation, my solar system is significantly underperforming — half of my panels are producing only 1% of expected power. When I sent SpaceSolar the panel level monitoring clearly showing the issue, the SpaceSolar engineer, [Name Removed],… Read more

was rude and unprofessional stating 'I thought you are an educated person, everything you said should have evidence' and 'Please don't bother me, I feel just wasting time when I talked to you.' I tried repeatedly to reach an amicable resolution, but SpaceSolar shirked responsibility at every turn. Even worse: From my correspondence with SolarEdge it appears as if SpaceSolar did not install the right cable for the inverter - this is what is likely causing the issue. However, SpaceSolar are no longer responding to me and I have had to lodge a complaint with Solar Accreditation Australia to help compel them to finish the job and restore my system to full working order. Do not use them: The hassle when something goes wrong is not worth the savings vs. a reputable installer.

Competent solar specialists – We first had Space Solar install 5 kW system a decade ago and got them to upgrade our system to a 10 kW system with a battery last year. We are very happy with the system. I note some criticism of Victor but we have found him technically very good and he has come promptly to fix hiccups with the battery/battery inverter. Yes, his English could be… Read more

clearer but it's not that bad, he is personable,C and he knows what he is doing. I like Space Solar because the installers have an engineering background and a capable electricians

From start to Finish 5 Star – From the design through to install Space Solar have been spot on. I had 6 quotes in all and selected Space Solar after their designer Chris called me to discuss my intentions. With a clear design quote and a number of questions raised and answered promptly I felt comfortable engaging Space Solar as my installer. There was a delay due to my… Read more

insistence on the latest Fronius Symo Gen 24 inverter as a market leader which did not enter the Australian market until late June but as soon as it was available the install was scheduled and executed. The install team, led by Nathan, were exemplary, polite, efficient and leaving a clean site. As install included replacement of an existing 9 year old system I had anticipated some issues but none were encountered. Spare tiles for any damage were available but not required, they were more difficult to obtain than the solar! So highly recommended up to and including install, initial performance is as expected for this time of year with higher yields expected as spring and summer approach. Thank you Space Solar.

WARNING STAY AWAY!! – I would NOT recommend space solar to anybody! Salesman and office staff lure you in than the installer/ boss Victor attends site with Very bad communication skills very bad English hard to understand, calling me stupid because I don’t understand him. Sold me the wrong inverter and than claimed it was the energy providers fault, Once we… Read more

worked out what had happened told us it our fault because we signed a contract and would be an extra $5000 plus install. So now we are $17k out of pocket with a system that hardly works

Should have seen the red flags when commissioning the install Victor couldn’t work out how to turn the inverter on.

STAY AWAY GO SOMEWHERE ELSE

Good solar supplier – I installed a 13kw solar system by Space Solar on 6 April 2021 The solar system is well installed and working great to generate the electricity everyday. As for the cost, it's a most competitive price in the market. I'm very happy with the solar system. I highly recommend this supplier to anyone who is looking for the solar system deal.  Show details

Reliable Installation Team & The Product – Really happy with my 6.6kW home installation. The installation team worked hard in a timely manner and did the installation properly. It looks clean and well finished, plus much respect for the installers who took care of my properties. Also, thanks to customer service at their office who helped me out with scheduling the date according to my… Read more

preference. The system works well and meets my expectation. I feel I got a pretty good bargain on their 6.6kW sale offer.

Top Tier operation, full marks to Space Solar – The entire process was easy and handled with professional friendliness from sales, office support to installation and after sales service. Installation was done in half day and solar up and running for a few hours the same day. I asked for some minor changes to their standard installation contract and these requests were responded to in a very… Read more

good manner.

We went with Space Solar after opting out of a another company (deposit lost) after reading so much bad reports of them, with Space Solar we paid a little more than the entry level cost but received a standard far higher than the discount installers.

Space Solar have their own installer staff with over 5 years experience with Space Solar (in our instance), and the whole transaction felt reassuring.

appalling service – It's been six months since our 3kw pv system was installed by Space Solar and we are still waiting for them to process the paperwork with PowerCor to enable us to start collecting solar credits. I've called them several times expressing my dissatisfaction and asking for a manager to call me back and never get a response. Each time I get a… Read more

different story - they are now telling me the electrician who did the work has left the company and they are chasing him up to complete the paperwork. I estimate we have lost somewhere in the order of $500 of solar credits we would otherwise have been entitled to.

Technically speaking, our system seems to be working fine but we really don't know and the poor service we've received and the use of non-qualified electricians as identified by Solar Victoria concerns me.

Highly recommend you do not do business with Space Solar.

Excellent people to deal with and a great product – Everything was easy. Unlike some suppliers, Space Solar had their salesperson come to visit to check out the roof and discuss layout and number of the panels, take photos of roof and possible siting of the inverter. We were adding to our existing 2.2Kw system so already had 10 panels on roof and an inverter. Now we were putting on 18 panels for… Read more

another 5.5Kw and a second inverter. These had to be located so shadow from a NBN satellite dish wouldn't cast shadows on them. The installation was done efficiently by 3 of their staff in one day. They set up the wifi smart meter before leaving. We could have got cheaper from a couple of the other suppliers but they wouldn't say who their installation contractors were and would not send the sales person here to check out the site. Not good enough we felt. We were concerned that the system kept on cutting out as production went upwards so Space Solar sent their technician to check it out. On switching off the system he found that our supply from the transformer (we're rural so have a transformer on a pole near the house) was way too high and thus preventing our solar system from feeding in all of its production to the grid. This problem was solved when we contacted Essential Energy who sent their technicians to adjust the transformer and now our solar system works like magic feeding in heaps of electricity to the grid and more than covering the entire costs of electricity used and line rental. So we are extremely satisfied with it and with Space Solar. Thank you to the Space Solar people from the telephonists to the salesperson, the installation men and the technician. They were all excellent people to deal with.

Highly recommend! – Had space solar (Auburn -Sydney) install a 5 kw system in Sept this year and could not be happier with the service and product. The staff involved through the different stages (quoting, installing, post installation) were all very informative and helpful. And best of all our electricity bill has since been cut in half! This was the biggest system… Read more

that would fit in our roof but has still made a big impact on our electricity bill. We have a pool, several aircon units and floor heating so our bill is usually massive. I would highly recommend this company.

Poor customer service – Seems only one person works for them. Terrible customer service, not sure how the company survives. Having to wait forever for new panels, then give the old first in first served speech. Not the truth.

Good system bad C.S – Great install and works great however after sales service was disgusting. Didn't explain the metering process, lead to anxiety. Miss spelt email address locked me out of the app to monitor it. Company treated me as a pest for trying to sort it out.

Value for money – I had 20 solar panels installed on the 8 Aug 2019. The consultant was good, gave me a good price and the installation was done in time. Everything went on smoothly until all payment was done. After that, there was poor response in getting the documents required to connect to the grid. I am still waiting to get connected to the grid. Show details

Fantastic Solar Installer! – Sales process was pretty good, Daniel was straight to the best price he could do... not a cent reduction but still the best price out of the quotes I got... he was also the only one who actually visited our property before giving a quote, he provided a great support on email, text and phone all along, he really makes sure all your questions are… Read more

answered and you feel comfortable with the purchase, last but not least he helped to arrange a super fast installation for me.

The installers (Sean and two colleagues) were legendary, expert, fast, flexible, efficient... couldn't ask for more and to be honest didn't expect that level of service, Sean gave me the option to install the inverter either outdoor close to meter box or inside the garage, I went with indoor. Staff in office are also very friendly...

Super happy with Space Solar and highly recommend them :)

A great Solar retailer/installer – Had a 5.4 Kwh array installed by Space Solar Aug /2017. I have waited until now to report on this Coy. Installation was done professionally by installers who knew exactly what they were doing. The system has been performing very well and any minor problems have been solved by Space Solar without difficulty. I can recommend Space solar without… Read more

reservation to install quality panels & inverter at a fair price & who back up their product with good customer service.
