 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.

Sunboost installed a 20KW Neovolt battery. The installation process went smoothly. When i had a minor technical issue with my battery, I was very impressed with the professionalism and speed of Sunboost's customer support officer Emelia. I notified of my issue at 8am. She organised a Neovolt team to come and resolve the issue by 2pm on the same day. Many thanks for the great after sales service.

Their price was competitive and they came and installed it and it works fine. Gave good advice based on our needs. Small hiccup with them sending the wrong inverter at first but this was based on some legitimate ambiguity with our power box and was promptly dealt with.

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 ·  1

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.

Excellent service and great to deal with, highly recommend, everyone from service to installation

 Follow-up  · The all up cost was $3600, the tradesmen that did the installation were here for about 4 hours and were excellent they cleaned away everything and showed me how to use the app, we have had no issues with anything since installation.

I have had a few issues along the way, but every time I've contacted support it has been resolved very quickly and efficiently. Couldn't be happier with the service/support.

 Follow-up  · The issues have mostly been with the communication between the the inverter and the meter (via the dongle), but with support, easily fixed. Installation was ok.The solar was fine, but the batteries took longer than expected. The prices (at the time of purchase/installation) were fantastic.

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"

This is my second system install from Sunboost. It took eight months from application to installation. This was an unacceptable wait time in my opinion. There were long times between updates, and many excuses. I almost cancelled. The system seems to be working well and the installers seem to be on the ball. It was all done in approx 4 hours. The 2 stars is simply for the wait time

Everything was fine, although on the day of the installation, the installer advised that the batteries wouldn't fit into the space stated by Sunboost, and extra fire proof material was required as it is a timber building. All the measurements and building construction info were provided to Sunboost at the time of quoting. This should have been provided to the installer, and the extra cost for materials in the original quote. Show reply
