No details in writing. No, thanks!
All sound pretty good, but I don't usually take any offer without anything in writing first. The suggestion this is a 'special offer' and I cannot receive details by email is a very poor tactic.

Thanks for your reply. I did receive your email with some generic info. Having said that, I was told the details of the offer couldn't be shared in written, only over the phone. To me, that's not a good practice.

Very professional at all times.
Plenty of communication from them.

Happy to recommend them.

Great simple system
I had the Battery system installed a couple of weeks now, so haven't had much of a chance to really see the benefits yet (especially being in winter) but I use the app which is interesting to be able to monitor the usage of the house and see when and what is drawing power.

Can’t believe the savings!
We had a solar system installed with Sunbank Solar about a year ago and have been so happy with the result!
From start to finish they made the process super simple and really helped us find the solution that was right for us. The quote and sales documents laid everything out really clearly and made us feel very confident with the decision.
Our installation team were total professionals and also helped us upgrade our switchboard to be able to run the system and track all our energy production. Now I love seeing the monthly report showing how...Read more
much we’re producing and the positive environmental impact it has. Finally, I just couldn’t believe it when we got a $19 electricity bill for three months worth of energy use after installing. Now that I’m home every day with a newborn (and using more energy) I can honestly say this was one of the smartest investments we’ve ever made. I highly recommend this company if you’re considering solar!1 comment

Buyer beware - high pressure tactics without anything in writing
I am based in Melbourne and received a letter in the mail addressed to the solar home owner offering final positions on a solar battery energy plan. Rang the number, salesman explained the plan stating that at certain times of the day I could earn up $7.00 per KW hour for stored energy. He also said that they have remote access and control to the battery at all times. However their main interest was obtaining a $550.00 on the spot deposit. I declined and asked them to e/mail me all the details of the plan. Needless to say they sent nothing. Bottom line - steer clear. If it sound too good to be true, it is.

So very helpful
Sunbank Solar were fantastic in supporting me through the process of deciding and then purchasing my Hive Battery. They very patiently supported me with my myriad of questions. They guided me through each step of the installation and I knew what was happy at each time. The installers were very fast and efficient and everything happened when Sunbank said it would. On every level I found the company excellent.

Fast response to every aspect of the setup. Accomplished within a week. Installation was fast and efficient. Battery is neat and installers were knowledgeable and experienced. A real hands off experience, minimal paperwork. A Breeze.

Sunbank Solar Excellent Choice
After shopping around it was clear the Sunbank salesperson was the most knowledgeable of all the companies I dealt with in regards to size and type of panels and batteries that we would require. Installation was straight forward, and since then we have been saving a lot of money on our power bills. I was slightly sceptical of the predicted solar output for our house, but in the 4 months that we have had the system we are tracking well above the predictions. Love the app!

Solar Batteries The Way of the Future
We had a Hive Solar Battery System installed about 3 Months ago and certainly has saved some money so far, the Install Team arrived on the arranged day and were very friendly and quick with some helpful information on how the system worked and what happens next.

luding your feed in tariff savings. In all we are very pleased with the Hive Solar Battery System and can see the outlay will be saved within the next few years then it will go into our pocket as total savings. All we can say is everyone should consider Solar as an alternate energy source and use Sunbank Solar as your Solar Company for purchase and installation of your solar system - you won't be sorry :)1 comment

An affordable battery....at last!
The process was efficient. It did take time to photograph, download and send all the required information prior to the process beginning, but I think the COVID-19 pandemic may have influenced how that process operated. No issues...the installer was professional and efficient.

Beware Problematic Marketing
After receiving a letter about their 'pilot' program, I was pressured by the salesperson to pay a $550 deposit before they would send me any details in writing, which is a very problematic form of marketing. A search of relevant Whirlpool forums also suggests that this is not a company which is behaving well.

works well
The installation planning was as described. It was simple, and done professionally.
The team arrived as planned, carried out the installation based on ACT regulations, and completed it within the time allowed.
They were efficient, tidy and polite, giving an effective description of its operation and what to expect next.

Very excited!
So easy! It was installed, literally, within a few days of booking. The young fellas that came and installed it were brilliant! Hardly even knew they were there. We were all home, and they just went about it, and it was done in few hours. All the staff were great! Polite, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. We are really looking forward to enjoying the benefits of having our own battery! Thanks Guys!!

The perfect marriage of panels to batteries.
The staff who installed our batteries were efficient, skilled workers who went about their job in a very orderly way. No mess no fuss just concentrated on the job. Many questions were asked and answered with the authority of tradesmen that new their job and product. Due to some medical issues we had to postpone the installation a number times and Dustin helped us deal with company and ensured that we were looked after with great patience. It was an offer that we could not afford to take up.

Great to see stored power from batteries getting used in my home
Have had panels for a few years. Been toying with battery installation in past years but too expensive. Decided to try the batteries on this new scheme.
Happy with where batteries were installed and was neatly done.

Stop with the unsolicited Harassment
I have received multiple letters from this company, all stating they are rolling out a pilot program, and how I could be one of the first 700 eligible participants. If a company needs to repeatedly roll out a pilot program over and over and approach the masses with a blanket letter, it would seem that they are not getting the success they deserve from word of mouth, and that the reputation of their product is not actually able to sell itself.
For both of these reasons I would not use their product nor would I recommend anyone actually does. I would deal directly with reputable companies and trades persons, as letter marketing with messages of urgency and exclusivity make them look desperate, unprofessional and dubious.

Firstly they have to notify you if they wish to enter your property and secondly they monitor the battery condition performance remotely so they should not have to enter your property unless there is a problem.
Thankyou I was reading the conditions part of the paperwork

I would like to hear from anyone who has battery installed by Sunbank and is part of of a VPP plan. I am particularly interested as to what savings they are earning and what their payback period is.
I have installed A$9000 battery but cant get any help or info out of Sunbank, Members Energy or Energy Locals.
Thanks

Mick, My name is Phil Long and we have recently fitted an Eveready battery pack (5kw )to our solar system( It has 20 panels - 6kw system ). We have only just switched over to Members Energy and as yet have to receive an account from them. Our last account from Red Energy for the last three months was reduced by approximately $58.00 as the battery system was only operational for the last month. There are only two adults living at our residence and most days our battery is 95 to 100% full by evening and still has 4 to 8% capacity by next sunrise so our house is not drawing power off the grid thereby saving us money during the night. Daytime the system is set up to run off the solar generation. Reading our Red Energy bill from 26th July to 24th October 2020 we were credited with 1125kw at $0.102/kw giving us $114.75 credit. Usage off the grid amounted to 392kw at $0.28459 giving us a cost of $111.56. Our battery pack has only been operational since the beginning of mid October and we will not receive a Members Energy Account until January which will reflect our savings by employing a battery pack in conjunction with our solar panels. That $58 saving mentioned above is only an estimate. Members Energy returns have been estimated to be from $0.17 to $0.24 / kw depending on when they take power from our system be it from the battery or direct from the solar system as they said the higher returns are in peak load periods but they stated that they would not flatten the battery and always leave 5 to 10% capacity. Hope this information is what you are looking for, Phil Long.
Hello Phil,
Thanks for taking the time to answer in such detail, it has really helped me.
Your situation is much the same as mine. Your figures match mine almost exactly.
The problem I had was in getting some idea of what return I'd get from the VPP scheme
Just this morning I rang Sunbank and had a long, fruitful discussion with Ian Sinson.
He gave me some much needed info on the buyback frequency and earnings. The real important NEWS was that the buyback of the excess energy from my system comes from BOTH the battery and whats being recorded from my panels by the smartmeter at 30 mins intervals, I was originally informed in writing that this would be from the battery ONLY.
I'll let you know how I get on after getting my first account.
Thanks again
Mick Williams
