Sun boost Delivers
After some 4 months of promises to install a system it finally happened, the system was installed ok but would not produce the stated output. The installer tried 3 times to correct and was put onto a technician would could not resolve. Finally spoke with [Name Removed] from sun boost who was able to talk me through the process and recalibrating the inverter. Now working as stated, they appear to totally rely on the installer and try to operate from a remote location.

WARNING - very bad experience with Sunboost
During the installation process my Makita cordless drill (located in a locked garage on a workbench 1 meter away from where the inverter was installed) went missing.
Sunboost was not interested.
It made for a very unpleasant experience.

Very Poor Customer Service
On Dec 15th I ordered a Sunboost solar system and was told it would be installed by the end of Jan. I have contacted Sunboost by phone and sent several messages. Over the phone I was told by them ([Name Removed]) that they would call back. On Jan 28th they said they would call back within 48 hours and yesterday was told by [Name Removed] he would definitely ring me back that day. I have still not heard from them.
I have been at all times polite, simply trying to get some idea when the solar is going to be installed. They are constantly ringing...Read more

Will not fix the damage
Install = was ok apart from the inverter is way to high to read it.
Damage = leaving rivet ends all over the driveway to puncture tyres and a huge burnout mark on my brand new driveway.
Refused to fix it. Installer said it wasn't them but my CCTV and a witness said otherwise . Been arguing for a month now to have it cleaned as [Name Removed] passed the buck to management who pass the buck to the installer and round again and again. I will never be using this company ever again. Just wait until a better company has a special on. Plus I wanted a 6kw & only got 5.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!!
This is one of the worst companies I have EVER dealt with.
Their workmanship is SO bad, I am shocked they are still in business.
I had so much damage done to my roof it was some of the worst work I have ever seen undertaken.
The company then pushes you between different people, who promise to call back, but never do.
The issues are not sorted and I have now had to threaten legal action.

Not great - SB183289
Firstly, if this review is for the service from Jenny when assisting with my support call on the 7th of January, then no issues and her service was great.
The installation process itself has been far from the same.
Firstly at the time of installation, 2 panels were taken away as they would not fit on the roof. Had I not seen them being returned, then I’m not sure that I would have known or been refunded. Even head office were not aware until I advised them.
Subsequent to this, there was no contact from Sunboost to my electricity supplier ...Read more
after 2 weeks. I needed to organise this myself. 3 weeks from installation, I was asked to provide photos of the installation to allow for the claim of government rebates. This involved me needing to climb on my roof. I’m not sure why I needed to do this when the installers could have taken these.1 comment

Disappointed South East Queensland, QLD
DO NOT TOUCH THIS COMPANY
As per many negative reviews this company has them at the end of their reviews on there website. This call centre isn’t in Australia and you will get hassled by someone who appears to be in India. Be prepared to be hassled!! Take your deposit and you have to fight with them to get it back or cancel your quote. They do not know what they are doing and are India sales people not experts. They sent photos of a layout for solar panels that wasn’t my house!!!
They use Australian sports people but DO NOT TOUCH THEM!!

Harassment
Didn't go with Sunboost in the end as I was sick of being harassed! Brett form Sunboost (not sure where this call centre is but doubt its Australia as accents are thick!) called at least once a day. When I refused to answer the calls he changed his number to private. Even when I told him to please not call me and that we had decided not to proceed he still kept calling. I hung up on him numerous times! We actually paid more and went with another local company who weren't harassing us and who seemed to know what they were talking about in regards to installation etc rather than doing an intense sales pitch!

difficult install challenged crew
We have a skillion roofline which was challenging for the first crew that arrived (on time), they informed me they would have to come back at a later date and someone would contact me.
Later that day another crew turned up unannounced and asked if I had a ladder they could borrow to do the install, didn't inspire a great amount of confidence.
That said, they got the job done, seemed a bit rushed though.
Some scrap left on roof and had to ask one guy not to smoke while on the roof.
Communication was poor but admittedly they got the job done in a timely fashion and generating a week later after Origin replaced the meter.

Pathetic service
Ordered the system 12/11/2020. Promised installation was between 23/11/20 & 07/12/20. Called this morning with the old chestnut excuse that solar can not be installed as the installer hurt himself an that it couldn’t be rescheduled until February.
I would not recommend this company.

12 months in my 6.6kw 24 panel produces no more than 2.8kw on a clear 40 degree day. Foreign call centre. Dodgy panels
Initial sale and installation process was easy. But 12 months on my 24 panel 6.6kw system with a 5kw inverter produces a maximum of 2.8kw on a clear day with no shade in Newcastle NSW.
Customer support from what I can understand ( very thick accents) tell me to set up accounts and link my inverter to them so they can monitor my system for 3 days before they'll do anything, they emailed me 15 plus pages of instruction s to do this...I consider myself pretty tech savvy, I still haven't figured out how to do this. The instructions just don't work....Read more

Sale was seamless, installation not so great, been waiting 2 months for installation.
I signed up for Sunboost in early October and had a two storey installation booked in for the 26th October. Installation day arrived and the contractors to do the install said it was too dangerous to install as they needed a scissor lift to get to the second storey roof as they only brought a ladder. I would have thought that knowing it was going to be a two storey install they would have already organised that. It is now the 24th of November and after numerous emails and calls back and forth they keep "assuring" me that a new installation date...Read more
will be organised. Still waiting on all the false promises of getting back to me with an update. I had my last straw when they told me on Thursday 19th of November that they will have an outcome after coming out to the address again for the second time. It is now Tuesday the 24th November and is still waiting.2 comments

awaiting documents of proof and repairs to be fixed
It appears I was to early in giving Sunboost some praise after an inspection of the roof area , it has been noted the the cables connecting the PV arrays are not secured to timbers so as to pass through roof and have support
Please every one make sure that the roof area is checked , I am still waiting for documents , Sunboost says its all legal but I have not received these documents which under the Clean Energy Council are a requirement
All complex systems require a user manual for the customer. Grid-connected PV systems are no different.

Deceptive and incompetent operator
1. Sunboost knowingly concealed the actual cost of installing the solar system by choosing not to tell me about the cost of upgrading my meter board without which the system is useless. I ended up paying $2700 and spent two months fixing it. Had I been told this essential cost, I would not have gone ahead. Sunboost deprived me of choices by deception. They were well aware of my meter board as I sent them its clear pictures right from the beginning.
2.Sunboost installers rushed and left without setting up the data management system on any device...Read more

Don’t be fooled by Allan Border ...
Firstly they arrived 4 MONTHS late, then they worked on my roof with a harness connected to nothing. They drilled a hole directly through the roof instead of hiding it under the flashing. It’s clearly visible from the window inside and is such an eye saw .
Then Sunboost refuse to return to make the work good or repair the original work.
I’ve been disappointed and
Let down .

Questions & Answers
JohnnyThundersasked
I was told installation would happen on 12 January. Three installers showed up and scoped the job (this is something other companies do BEFORE the date of installation and, if they are operating professionally, BEFORE they agree the price).
The installers made some comments about the need to run conduit and have an electrician to install.
Today (Saturday) I had a call with Sunboost telling me the job would cost a further $500 because it would take a day to install the wiring to the inverter and meter box. There was some (gobsmacking) comment regarding if it were not installed according to legal requirements, I could not use the solar system if it were inspected by relevant authorities.
I explained I had been offered a price, agreed a contract, expected the system would be installed in accordance with legal requirements and I would not be paying a cent more. I have asked Sunboost to send me a firm plan regarding installation by Monday, at the agreed price and, if not, I advised Sunboost I would have to consider my options.
Completely unsatisfactory performance to date. Hopefully Sunboost will redeem itself.
1 answer
One of the 3 installers was the electrician on my job. They cant install it without an electrician. I had my site inspection on the day of install ebven after I asked for one prior. The electrician used conduit to run wire which is a requirement for all cabling anyway.
I did have another company come and do a site inspection but the person who came was rude and basically told me he was wasting his time with me. He also quoted almost 3 times the price for a similar system
Paul J.asked
We signed our contract with Sunboost on 13/11/2020 and paid our $200 deposit. We were supposed to get the system installed before Christmas but Sunboost Reps would just ring a day before installation and cancel. We have made endless calls to them and been transferred to installers who tell you that they will be coming to install and then they don’t turn up. Then we were told that our house was too high for the installers. We complained and was told that a representative from the installers would come and have a look at our house today then install the next day. We are still waiting. I wonder if Alan Border knows how this company really operates?
7 answers
I didn’t have such issues. We had few cancellation due to rain on those dates . Who was the sales person. We had Mark. Talk to him and he will sort you issues.

Sunboost don’t let you talk to anyone but who they want you to talk to. It would be a waste of time asking for Mark. He probably doesn’t handle my area. We are in North Brisbane.

Then it is wonderfully come with 10 days cooling period. customer will get REFUND with cooling period. Amid fee $150 apply. Wow easily, regardless what, sunboost gets 150 with every customer that they loop in thro “10 days cooling period”
