Synergy deliberately holds up the installation of my Tesla solar battery
I have written a poor review about Synergy service regarding meter readings and charging a fee for that. I do not directly want to accuse them of punishing me for that, but I ordered a Tesla Battery by NaturalSolar and all was arranged for installation on Friday 25 June. I took a day off work to be there.
24 June, NaturalSolar calls me that Synergy still has not approved my application for the battery installation 'Distributed Energy System Application -PTC (Permission to Connect). they had received that application on 13 May 2021, but on 25 Ju...
By far the worst in Australia and completely ripping off people with rooftop solar. It's outrageous when comparing to any other power company in the country. The WA grid should have been privitised and competition introduced decades ago.

Synergy Solar WA are far less than honest (Solargain do the install)
We had been looking to install a solar system to our rooftop here in Mindarie WA. After checking reviews, we decided on going with Synergy Solar as we believed that they would give us a level of service which you would expect from a government owned entity. Their quote for an install of a 6.6KWH solar PV system comprising of:
1: 20 x P370 Optimiser
2: 20 x Q-CELL Maxx 330W
3: 1 x SolarEdge 5.0-1 with backup
4: 1 x SolarEdge Meter
all inclusive of installation at a price of $9,736 after rebates (Full cost $13,311.17)
Their price was the highest ...

It's a pity that unlike gas, we have only one company providing electricity in Perth. Synergy is very inefficient and wasted a lot of my time (several times in the past few years) and this company reminds me of how government organisations work. They think they're assigned by God and customers are their slaves. I'm very unhappy with the current case I have with them and there is nothing I can do except lodging a court case if they don't fix my bill issue in the next couple of weeks. I have proof that the power meter was installed way after they...
Read more started to charge me for power supply and they say this is based on western power information, but when I call them they say no (i.e. Synergy is wrong). I wish we get other retail companies join and break this monster company (like what happened to Alinta)Find out how Synergy Solar and Battery compares to other Energy Providers

installed 6.6kw solar system in Busselton assuming what's not used goes to the Grid...because Synergy doesn't want all this backflow..it reduces the flow at their end..it in turn triggers my system to generate production in concert with the allowable uptake.. that business model includes overlooking the minimised "export kwh" by not crediting them on the bill/invoice.. not happy.

We move to our new 2 bed apartment on 17 September and received the bill for 20 days of $400. We did not cook, we did not have time at home to furnish. So our apartment is empty, no dryer, no washing machine, no fridge. And the bill is $400. We called them to resolve, they bargained the bill. Finally, agreed they did incorrect calculation and agreed the price to $66. But next day they sent us a letter with declining all the conversation, and advised they accepted for us to pay the amount by installment.
This is ridiculous and ripping off. This is unacceptable, how could a state owned company behave like this? Avoid them at all cost
If I have negative rating, I will give them.

Solar system installation unsatisfactory, caused us damage in ceiling and we don't get enough benefi
Synergy installed 16 panels in our roof advised us that we get most power of the sun from north with 4KW inverter.
Their installation team caused damage to our ceiling: crack between ceilings to cornice, we took photos and sent them, and they were rejected and they refused to compensate us for the damage. We ended up paying for repair of the damage.
At approx. 2.30pm in sun set this is the most power of the sun we don't get any benefit because there are no panels installed on the west side of the roof, only in north side, we phoned them aski...

Having just spend $6500 for a 2Kw solar system I get my first power bill after the intsllation and to my horror Synergy charged me for 458 units at 22.62 cents and credited me 162 units at 8.4 cents I undestod the tariff but before I went in to this I read the Syergy explanation of solar power feedin tariffs and nowhere did it say your input power will be credited when you import more than produced would I have known that trick I would not have botherd with solar so if you contemplate solar make very sure you are aware of this.
