They provide very poor service. They received the advance payment over a year ago, and then, after a year, changed the plan due to the lack of solar panels. Then, the installation team came for over a month, installed the solar panel mounts on the roof, and left them there. You can see this in the pictures below. The failure to install the solar… Read more
panels on time has caused us additional costs, and despite daily follow-ups and numerous calls, they are not responding to us. We are currently concerned that, given the installation of the solar panel mounts and their abandonment on the roof, if it rains and causes water to leak inside, it could lead to both financial and safety hazards.

Sunmate solar is scam – I had the new solar panel system 7.8 kWh installed but the inverter is not working. When I contact the admin, they say 'call you back in 20 minutes' but they never call back, keep passing the phone to other staff but don't solve the problem. Almost everyday I call them but get same answer. I am waiting since 9 months to fix the problem. I believe… Read more
this is also a kind of scam. I don't know how these types of scammers survive in Australia. If you cannot give good service to customer, please don't waste customers' money and time. This is disgusting.

house renovation and look what they did to my house I'm so heart broken. My son went in the bathroom to get his brush and fell on his side because of how much it was slippery even though I have heaps of towels .
Great experience - professionalism – Initial scepticism evaporated after Zoe’s customer service and professionalism overwrite all the concerns. A very patient, considerate, always prompt on response. On professionalism shown to resolve all technicality concerns too.

good job – Dear Nick, I am writing to extend my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional service you provided during my recent solar panel installation project. Your dedication, professionalism, and attention to detail were truly outstanding, and I am extremely satisfied with the entire process. From our initial consultation, it was evident that you… Read more
possess extensive knowledge and expertise in solar energy systems. Your ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and understandable manner was invaluable and helped me make informed decisions throughout the project.
I particularly appreciate the way you managed the installation process, ensuring that everything was completed on time and to the highest standards of quality. Your responsiveness to my queries and concerns was also commendable, making the experience smooth and stress-free.
Once again, thank you for your outstanding work. I will not hesitate to recommend Sunmate Solar, and specifically your services, to anyone considering a transition to solar energy.
thank you very much
SunMate 2.0 :Totally Recommended – I've had my SunMate 2.0 Solar Diverter Installed now for over 3 years. I have it configured to divert using both of the primary outputs (A then B) into my 2 x 315l electric Hot Water Systems with the standard 3.6KW heating elements, and it has performed perfectly the entire time. I am using the optional temperature sensor on one unit and the other… Read more
HWS is using only the thermostatic, though both HWS units are "cranked up" to 60Deg C to optimise my energy storage. This is not an issue for "scalding" as both tanks are fitted with tempering valves. On a cloud free day, both HWS units are fully heated by midday through the summer months and by about 1:30pm through the winter, and in that time I've never had to use a boost function, - never having run out of hot water, and I've not paid a cent to my energy retailer for hot water in that time. My Sunmate 2.0 has paid for itself several times over already. The installation was very straight forward, as (fortunately) I had the "space" in my Consumer Mains board, and I had my SunMate configured to just the "basics", - leaving the scheduled boost and Legionella "turbo boost" functions off to see how it would perform on "Solar Harvest Only". It has been absolutely brilliant, and I've not needed to change any of the settings. I've never had any issue at all. It was easy to configure, and easy to analyse the built in LCD screen details. I love the fact that it tells me how much power I'm "diverting", and how much I'm "exporting".
Signed contract in September 2022, still waiting for Solar to be installed & it’s almost January – We first started talking with Sunmate Solar in August 2022, then signed a contract for $3149 inc. of GST for a 6.6kw system plus inverter on the 12th September 2022. We were told upon signing the contract by [Name Removed]- Account Manager, that it would take approximately 2weeks for us to have our solar installed. As soon as we signed the… Read more
contract and paid the deposit, we received no correspondence from Sunmate Solar with any updates, until well after 2weeks passed and we became proactive in contacting Sunmate Solar for updates ourselves. We have been strung along by this company for almost 6 months now and still do not have our solar installed. We have contacted them over 2x dozen times with promises that they will call back or contact back to no avail. On the 20th December 2022 we received an ultimatum from [Name Removed]- Installation Team, saying that they can now give us a rough install date of mid January 2023 but only if we sign a new contract with their 2023 prices equating to an extra $1000 approx. The ultimatum was sign the new contract and pay the extra $1000 or accept a return of our deposit. We advised that we had a signed contract already for an agreed price and did not accept these terms. We further said that it was a contractual breach by Sunmate Solar not fulfilling their promises and guarentee to install the solar as stated in the contract. We received a response today from [Name Removed] saying he didn’t agree with it and again, pay more, or accept the deposit back with litter regard to us as their customers. We are very disappointed as we have been paying high energy bills for nearly 6months, waiting for our install that was promised to be delivered upon by end of September 2022. We are further disappointed that despite fairly good reviews and their website claiming they guarantee their work, they have acted disingenuously by increasing the contract price and pressuring us to sign it or seemingly face the consequences of missing out on the product & service.

Dont trust this company they wont communicate with you after sales nor mailtenance services!!! Show details
I applied for solar with Sunmate at the end of december, now three months later, after chasing them a lot they tell me they can't give me solar. Now I am chasing my deposit back. aaaahhhhhhhh, I rang up so many times, so very unhelpful.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY – Do not trust this company. Accounts Manager is terrible. We organised to have our existing solar removed and upgrade to a larger system. He assured us the there were a team local to our area quoted us $200 to remove. But instead he sends outside contractors then expects us to pay the $300 cash on the day and then emails and says we need to pay… Read more
additional $200 via direct deposit to the contractor and have it removed from final invoice. Then on install day another lot of outside contractors turn up removed my inverter, put new one on, then magically within hours tell me they need a qualified roofer to do the job and they would be back. Only to find they had taken new inverter back off, taken my working inverter and left me with a mess. Accounts Manager then cancels our contract the next day! When we made a formal complaint with proof of over 90 emails between ourselves and Accounts Manager, he replies with nothing but lies. The company will not investigate him and will not escalate our complaint. We are now off to QBCC and the police to lodge complaints and report a stolen solar system. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY
