Operating advice
After installation was completed I requested advice on monitoring the system. I am a senior citizen but have been using computer systems since 1992, however the installer told me to get a grandson setup the wifi monitoring. This did not impress me so I emailed two employees of Sunboost requesting advice be emailed to me but no replies were received. I am unimpressed with after sales service.

After many phone calls - Matter resolved
Original installation was excellent, however after Origin connected Solar Panels via smart meter to electricity box. I noticed we was receiving less than my neighbor who had same inverter but one extra panel. Contacted Sunboost many times advising I thought maybe one of the banks of 11 panels was not connected. After three weeks of continuous phone calls and receiving no resolution to the problem, advising Sunboost to please remove and refund payment. Sunboost then had a representative call out to my premises, and lo and behold I was correct, one of the switches to 11 panels was not working. Today am receiving nearly the equivalent power as my neighbor. Sunboost please listen to your customers more.

Solar Installation
I ordered a 6.6 K/w system to be installed on my property, my problems began once I had paid my deposit. Unfortunately the date I was provided with was cancelled, and 3 other dates provided were also postponed. When trying to contact the company my call usually went to voice mail, occasionally when I did get through I was told that the installation would not be available to install the system on the provided dates provided.
Fortunately I finally managed to get through to [name removed] on the installation team who was extremely polite, understa...

When i first contacted Sunboost, I received an email back straight away. After speaking with the representative, we were told the 'special' price of $3621 was only around for a few more days and we had to lock in our installation pretty quickly to ensure this price. After speaking with my husband, we decided to sign up and everything went through pretty quickly.
The next day I noticed on FaceBook that the price had been reduced to $3491 - I contacted the Consultant, and they, without hesitation, honoured the new price of $3491 for us.

Read morellation was booked for a Friday and the Installers rocked up on time, however the weather turned really windy and due to safety concerns did not install the panels. They advised me they would be back the next morning around 10am . 2.00pm came and no one had rocked up, I contacted Sunboost, they advised they would get back to me on the Monday, however as I had been made to pay in full on the Friday before the job was completed, I said No, I want to know what is happening now. I never received a response back from Sunboost that day - however I remembered the name of the Electrician eventually and got in contact with the company who finally advised there had been an issue and they would be back on Monday. However, Monday and Tuesday came and went with no solar installed - the Electrician's finally turned up and completed the job on Wednesday.1 comment

Poor customer service
Initial contact was very easy and professional.
Once full payment was made, there was nothing in the way of service.
I had to initiate all communication to book the installation.
Installers were great and did a great job but turned up with no inverter. Sunboost were meant to have made contact to advise but didn't.
To schedule the installation of the inverter, again I had to chase Sunboost up to book it in.
Instructions on how to setup wireless connectivity are out of date and the website has changed, zero tech support.

Extra cost after the deal
Primary process was alright as thought of and thought I had got the best deal. The equipments were installed as scheduled and was fine with the exception of extra cost that I had to pay for the water heating system that was not included in the deal. Discussed this with so called a guy named"Scott." The guy who installed inverter (Matthew) told me the extra cost of hot water heating system to connect to the solar system (an electric one as I have) after I had paid my full amount. This annoyed me very much. Though he told me $250.00 on the first...
Read more day, later he told me to pay $350.00 which further fuelled my disbelief. After much argument, settled it for $299.99. The Company sales guy did not disclose this at the beginning and my hot water system won't work on solar until those extra electrical stuff were installed. I had no choice but to pay and remain shut. Seems like the sales guys leave these loopholes for the tradies to grab extra bucks and not include in the package deal.2 comments

Still checking system operations as system has only been installed for 2 months
Installation was quite quick, 3 technicians finished complete job in less than 4 hours
Have had no issues with the company Sunboost, staff have been very polite and professional, possibly a few hiccups with the expected savings on our latest power account which Sunboost technical people are looking into.

Abit disappointed
We didn't get what we were supposed to get from the first contact with them. Ended up with 16 panels instead of 24 as stated due to lack of knowledge and using 3D maps instead of a house visit. Luke 91061 was very helpful with getting everything sorted from start to finish. He kept us informed all the way.

Avoid this company did not provide requested information - did not follow through
I allocate two stars for two things. Firstly the local installers were brilliant. Secondly the price and product look good so far.
I have taken three stars for these reasons
1. Right from the initial contact I requested warranty information. Sales pushed hard and promised the documents. Now after installation and multiple emails and verbal requests I have still have not been given information about the 10 year installation warranty. I worry to think what will happen if there is an issue. 1st star removed for a lack or transparency.
2. My ...

Terrible Service
We purchased a system from Sunboost and I have been trying for weeks to get someone from the installation team to get back to me. No one answers the phone and there is no way to leave a message . Very, very frustrating.

I was told it would only take 6 - 8 weeks to have solar installed at my location. Over 3 months later still getting broken promises about call backs and installation dates. Every week i am getting mail about referring customers but cant get a call back about my instillation dates, I wouldn't recommend this company to install my solar system if you live remote or want it done on quickly.

Sunboost bad, installer good
Sunboost sales promised much, but never in writing.
The installation came up well and I expected from my 6.6 kw (24 panels) and 5 kw inverter at least 75% efficiency for just under 5 kw output at best sun conditions. Seen other good quality plants with around 80% efficiency. Instead my new Sunboost plant has only 3.5 - 3.8 kw output at max sunshine for an efficiency of around 57%. I am not happy with this and had ask Sunboost to explain this in rock solid technical facts to me. But sice I have paid for my plant they don‘t seem to know me any l...

Read morewriting. Not happy with my max plant output of only 3.8 KW now at best sun conditions. Expecting a technical explanation or plant check up by a Sunboost technician. As a matter of fact no one from Sunboost has ever been on site. The only people I was dealing with face to face are the installers. They seem to have done o good job, but got unfriendly after I had technical questions un-answered. However, I got only upset after Sunboost did not responded to my emails any longer. Not good, as it indicates they are hiding some thing. So my review came up not that good. Have some friends wanting to sign up with Sunboost, but not with that output they currently see on my plant.SilvesterAdelaide
So far so bad
I was very disappointed tonigh when I came home only to see the mess around my house and one panel on the roof. The installer did not know what he was doing, often referring to the instruction book. Day 1 - not much done. I am now in doubt of the quality of the installation service and start wondering how many days is going to take to install the remainder of the panels.

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.

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?

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.

Dear Customer,
We wish to inform you that there is no hidden cost for 3 phase Electricity supply, provided it is informed while quoting itself.

Oh well, you probably forgot to mention that, customer need to pay 300 deposit in order to secure the lowest price. 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”
