 AI reviews summary 

Sunboost generally receives positive feedback for its professional installation teams and efficient customer support, though a segment of customers reports significant issues with post-sales service and unexpected costs. While many users praise the punctuality and cleanliness of the installers, recurring complaints highlight lengthy delays in resolving technical faults and aggressive sales tactics regarding "on-the-day" price increases.

Pros
Professional Installation Teams: Installers are frequently described as punctual, polite, and knowledgeable, often going the extra mile to explain system operations and ensure a tidy worksite.
Responsive Technical Support: Specific staff members (notably Noah, Grant, and Tom) are repeatedly praised for their patience and expertise in resolving app connectivity issues and inverter configurations.
Efficient Turnaround: Many customers report a seamless end-to-end process, with some installations occurring within a week of the initial deposit.
Value and Performance: The systems, particularly the FoxESS battery and solar panel combinations, are noted for delivering reliable performance and significant reductions in electricity bills.
Cons
Unexpected Additional Costs: Multiple reviewers report being pressured to pay significant extra fees (ranging from $500 to over $5,000) on the day of installation for cabling, switchboard upgrades, or site-specific requirements not mentioned in the initial quote.
Protracted Resolution Times: When technical failures occur, such as faulty inverters or batteries, some users experience delays of three to six months for repairs or parts replacement.
Communication Breakdowns: A recurring segment of feedback highlights a "vanishing" act by the company once payment is made, with emails ignored and phone calls unreturned during service disputes.
Installation Quality Variance: While most are happy, several reports mention property damage (broken roof tiles, gutter scratches, or ceiling holes) and site mess left by specific sub-contracted crews.
Verdict

Sunboost is a reliable choice for consumers seeking competitive pricing and professional installation, provided the site is straightforward and the quote is thoroughly vetted. However, potential customers should be prepared for possible "on-the-day" cost variations and may face significant delays if the system requires warranty repairs or complex post-sales troubleshooting.

The four workers arrived on time and worked as a team throughout the day. Various factors of mandatory requirements were explained to me. The installation is neat and worked well when tested.

The installation went very well. Just a few hiccups regarding where the battery was to be installed. Once organised everything went smoothly.

Extremely happy with Sunboost for our Solar House Battery. Very competitive price. Installed within 1 week of purchase. We were very specific about how our Battery was to operate and it took a few phone calls to have it working to best benefit our lifestyle. Nothing was too much trouble for Barry to handle! He was extremely easy to communicate… Read more

with. Installers were here a lot longer than expected but they were professional and friendly. Highly recommend Sunboost. Great communication all round! They did our Solar panels 5yrs ago and we were extremely happy then, that's why we decided to use them again.

SunBoost didn’t just install solar; they delivered confidence, value, and long‑term peace of mind.Highly recommended for anyone wanting a reliable, top‑tier solar and battery solution.

The whole process went fairly smooth. Jake my first contact was very helpful in my decision on battery and solar panels. Installation was delayed but on the day it went smooth and installers were very clean. The after installation help was fantastic. Coulton was extremely helpful with a few minor problems but he sorted everything out and was a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend Sunboost Show details ·  1

Sunboost installed a 20Kw SoFar battery system, we are very happy with the performance. We requested Sunboost to program the Inverter so the no power is taken from the batteries during the night from 11:30pm, to 6:30am during the 4 winter month. this request was completed nicely and we are happy Show reply

only been up 4 days so far so bit hard to give objective review, but installers were friendly, phone people were nice and helpful, apart from waiting 3 months to get installed (the joys of living in rural Australia I guess) will see in a few months how much I am saving. Show reply

 Follow-up  · System works as well as can be expected. Would I buy again? Absolutely not. Nothing against Sunboost, but why would I want to spend thousands on a solar system and get 2c feed-in tariff? It's gonna take me years and years to recover the initial outlay. Biggest bloody con job I've ever been stung by. 2c feed-in tariff and then buy the same… Read more

My experience with Sunboost has been extremely disappointing. What should have been a straightforward issue took almost four months to resolve. Throughout the process, I repeatedly received the same responses stating that the matter was being discussed with the team or that confirmation from the installer was still being awaited. There was very… Read more

little communication regarding a clear timeline or resolution.

An installer attended my property on 1 May but was unable to resolve the issue. The assessment at that time indicated that the battery required re-installation due to the previous installation being incorrect. Despite this finding, I was later advised that another site visit might be required, which suggested that the information from the initial inspection had not been properly communicated.

The delays resulted in significant frustration and inconvenience, including the possibility of having to take additional leave from work for repeated visits. I eventually had to involve Consumer and Business Services (CBS) to assist with the matter and encourage progress towards a resolution. It was disappointing that the issue reached this point before meaningful action was taken.

While the issue has now been rectified, the overall customer service, communication, and response times fell well below my expectations.

I would not recommend this company. The initial price may be attractive, but in my experience it was not worth the stress, delays, and lack of communication that followed.

On a positive note, the support team from ESY Battery was fantastic throughout the process. They were always helpful, responsive, and willing to provide assistance whenever needed. Their level of customer service was a stark contrast to the experience I had elsewhere.

I hope Sunboost reviews its processes to improve communication between customer service, installers, and customers to prevent similar experiences in the future.

I recently had Solar Boost install a solar system at my home and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience.

everything clearly, and made the whole process stress-free. Communication was excellent throughout, and they kept me updated every step of the way. The installation team arrived on time, worked efficiently, and completed the job to a very high standard. Their attention to detail and workmanship was exceptional, and they left everything clean and tidy afterwards. It’s refreshing to deal with a company that genuinely cares about its customers and takes pride in its work. I highly recommend Solar Boost to anyone looking for quality solar installation backed by fantastic customer service. A genuinely professional and reliable company from start to finish.

27/4/2026 we noticed that our Sunboost solar system was not functioning properly the Solax inverter was intermittently dropping off grid or not restarting each morning to collect solar power from the panels. After contacting Sunboost in Sydney to report the issue, I was contacted by a sunboost technician name "Tom". After our discussion on the… Read more ·  1

phone, he was able to talk me through a reset test procedure on the inverter and the Wifi stick, to confirm the issue was a problem & informed me that he would log the fault and raise a Ticket number and he would monitor the unit for 24hours and get back to me with advice on next steps to rectify any problems. The unit failed the next day to restart, and I received a call from Tom again that morning to advise me that our solar system Inverter warranty had expired in February 2026 and that he was going to contact the Sunboost / Solax tech teams to see if there were any processes to help rectify this problem and he would come back to me asap. I received phone messages and emails from Tom to contact him in regard to our problem & when I made contact, he advised me that he was going to organize an update procedure to be done on the Inverter unit in the hope that it may reset and rectify the problem we were experiencing, in conversation with him he explained that I had a mechanical background & would be happy to assist with any of the shutdown procedures needed to be done, He organized the Solax Techs to log into our inverters wifi dongle & complete the update on our unit the same day & after it was completed I called him back and he talked me through each step of the restart & then had me download a solax Wi-Fi App on my mobile phone so I could monitor the inverter over the next few days which he would do also, and the result was fantastic, our solar system is back up functioning 100 % which was a big relief for my Wife & I.

I found Tom to be one of the most friendly, intelligent & competent technicians that I have ever had the pleasure to deal with, his patience & confidence / knowledge he gave over the mobile phone and his customer service was outstanding I would rate him highly to your "Sunboost"company10 out of 10 and I will highly recommend him as an ambassador from your company to all my friends, family and relatives, in the future, Thank you "Tom Sunboost Tech"

Big name but corrupt as hell, the installation person took extra for some component and I had no choice. Then I had some issue with the same thing, and I hired local electrician and I got to know it's way cheaper what I paid to this guys, and I called Julien to ask but all I got was "I'll get back to you" with some proper detail which obviously I never got.

The installing team was neat on time and did a very good job. I have absolutely nothing to complain about. They have placed the equipment where I wanted it in a manner that is feasible.
