Buying and installation of the solar panels was done in an efficient and friendly manner. The installers arrived on the time that was stated and the installation was carried out in a timely manner. Everyone i dealt with throughout the process was very friendly and accommodating and answered any questions i had. I highly recommend this company! Your professionalism was impeccable!

While i had three companies attend my property. I ended up with only two quotes. One said i needed a new meter board and never got back to me with a number. The next gave an excellent presentation however said i would need all my existing fuse blocks replaced and possibly a complete rewire of the board. That work would have cost nearly as much as the solar install itself. Given the risk of that expense i decided not to go ahead with them. Essential solar were ok with the existing board and were more creative than the others in the solar panel placement. I had extra ones on the south side as well as panels on the north. While south facing panels are not as effective, they still work and the extra cost of more panels was really a small component of the overall price. They were the only one of three who thought of doing things this way. The whole job was done in a few hours despite being a two story building and challenging access. These guys really know their stuff. In the end, i only had one viable quote yet i felt the cost was reasonable and the company reviews online were very favourable. Backup, support, information and the work itself have been excellent throughout. I'd be happy to recommend essential solar without hesitation.

Wonderful description of overall solar system prior to installation (ie: first visit) - answered all questions in a manner i easily understood - thoroughly proffessional service from start to finish. Initial contact was excellent, installers were great, back -up (office contact) was (and still is) exceptional. Great company of good people. Very, very happy with process and products.

Essential solar seemed to be the right choice for us. David bruce came out and designed the system, answered all our questions, without the hype of others, and made suggestions on how to maximise the effectiveness of the system. When people tell me they have a special deal but i must decide now, i walk. Installation went well, no dramas and the guys cleaned up. We also changed all our lights to led at the same time. Discussed battery options with david but will wait until production costs are lower to provide a better pay back. System has been commissioned and is feeding into the grid and we are delighted with the outcome. Thanks to solarquotes for recommending essential solar and thanks to david for a job well done. Sorry for the boring reference but nothing dramatic happened which is the way i like it.

Finn's website is an excellent site for learning about solar energy. Three companies were provided for quotes but only 2 got back to us. The first to contact us was essential solar. They did this the next day. This definitely won them some brownie points and a foot in the door. The second company took a week to contact us and after arranging an appointment did not show up. However they did ring to say they "were too busy to come". Hence essential solar got the job. We had had 2 previous quotes so had numbers and info to compare with ess solar. From there it was full steam ahead with contracts signed and installation dates booked in. We found them an excellent company to deal with; the staff friendly and helpful; and everything flowed according to plan. We have had some issues with tv reception after the installation of the panels but essential solar followed up our queries with phone calls from the installers and a site visit and phone calls from the company owner. However the problem is beyond their control and is still to be resolved.

Installers arrived on time, and were very professional. I was surprised how quickly they installed the system, and at the quality of their work.

A fairly straightforward experience once i did some basic homework. There came a time when i had to trust what information i was given, as it is easy to get bogged down in technicalities, every manufacturers product is "wonderful" there are australian made panels & inverters out there, that added to the difficulty of choosing a system as installers have not yet embraced the local product, longevity is yet to be determined, though warranties are in keeping with other manufacturers. Unable to rate the system as a working unit as i am still waiting for meter to be reconfigured. The system of paperwork seems convoluted (to me) holding up the "turning on" of the system while something that is usually done remotely, takes 6-10 business days.

We received 3 quotes for our recent commercial solar installation and essential solar were not only prompt, efficient and competitive but also provided additional savings by changing our lighting to led. We subsequently added additional led lighting whilst other contractors were in our building and essential solar quickly responded to our request to install these in our high ceilings whilst we had scissor lifts on site. We had a minor hick up with two fluros but this was promptly resolved with the assistance of the general manager, david bruce. We have found all staff including installer carl, rebecca and jessica in the office capable, efficient and pleasant to deal with. We thoroughly recommend essential solar as a reliable and competent partner for solar upgrades. David williams salvation army dingley 23/01/17

After taking a day off work for the installation the installers didn't turn up as they had been delayed on another job, which was disappointing. As compensation an extra panel was added to the system and when i arranged to pay the credit card fee was waived so overall the result was satisfactory. The installation crew were efficient, neat and friendly. They explained several features of the system and the monitoring. I like the fact that i can monitor the system from my phone and essential solar also monitor the system.

It was a very difficult decision as all three quotes offered high quality systems and were professionally and personably presented. I believe we would have had a good outcome with whichever quote we chose and we were much more confident of making a good decision because of the quality of our options. In addition, the ability to access the wealth of information made available by finn peacock was a huge bonus, along with the knowledge that the companies who offered quotes had been thoroughly vetted. As a non technical person it was extremely helpful to be able to access information from a very technical source! This was in marked contrast to the previous system we had purchased and with which we had been unhappy.

Can't really rate system yet as i haven't been able to turn it on since the blood energy company hasn't came to switch over the metre yet. . .

Essential solar responded quickly to the request for a quote. I eventually heard from one other company after i had agreed to use essential solar and not at all from the third company. As i had sought 2 quotes independently i felt i had enough information to choose essential solar. I was very pleased that they were willing to visit my property and advise me of the optimum system. I had a quote from an electricity supplier and from another company by only viewing my property from satellite images.

The installers turned up on time and despite a small hiccough, not of their making, the installation was carried out without much fuss, mess or bother. I now look forward to the sun shining.

Excellent service and quality. Always responded within the day and replaced my new system when there was an issue. Took 3 days to replace but that was ok. Customer service is excellent, nothing is too difficult and they rang to check if things were going ok. What you need when looking for something like this. Competitive pricing also which was a key area and we got a high quality inverter. Highly recommended!

It's been a pleasure dealing with essential solar. Vincent the company solar adviser was to the point and truthful , he advised and chose tier one products at a good price for us. I did check up on the choice of inverters and solar panels he had recommended and they all had a high rating and highly recommended. Once agreed to proceed with the installation essential solar quickly arranged all necessary paperwork, installation and inspection. The installation team were absolutely fantastic and very professional. I deal with electrical works so i can vouch for that. David was swiftly to respond to some minor technical issues. System is working fine. The only slow cog in the process has been the energy supplier in our case energy australia/powercor , they are taking a long time to finalise things on their end but this is not stopping us from benefitting from the system. One final item, our inverter is a fronius primo, it can be easily remotely monitored from your phone, computer. I had the fronius smart meter installed, this is a small device that gives you extra data on your system, such as how much one is drawing or exporting to the grid and own usage, in short worthwhile considering getting one installed.

But it took ray from essential solar to came out and sit with us and our solar needs. His experience and knowledge is what helped us decide that this was the company and solar system for us. The installers did a great and professional install with minimum fuss, hell they didn't even have a lunch break now that's what l call commitment.

From the start, the people at essential solar were fantastic. Vincent visited first and went through in great detail my household's pattern of usage, past energy bills and listened carefully to what i, as the customer, was looking for. I found we were of a like mind and that essential solar would definitely give me what i wanted and most importantly, this advice was impartial. I had not wanted to go through any of the energy retailer as i felt that they would not want to give me the size of the system i wanted (big) as by doing so it would eat into the profit they made from selling me energy through the grid. Within a week of me agreeing with our plan, the guys were out, carefully installing 24 huge panels on my roof, wiring up all batteries and the inverter and it was all done in two working days - complete. David, the owner was then out to check out the last bit of installation and then came back a couple of days later and spent an enormous amount of time testing everything and making sure everything was working perfectly. Back in the office, rebecca was making sure that we were sticking with the roll-out plan and coordinating information then required to go to my energy retailer and supplier. Everything was going along excellently but the customer service at essential solar wasn't going to let it rest there. Vincent came out again last week to check on everything, supplied me with a bottle of red wine with a picture of my array printed on the label (nice touch guys!), and followed up immediately queries i had (which were not technical - just for my own personal knowledge). I feel that if i ever had any other queries i could simply call essential solar and rebecca would make sure that i was looked after immediately. I found the whole experience completely satisfying. I have the solar system i always wanted, i received tremendous service and all for what i thought was an amazing price given the immediate savings i am making (as well as selling a considerable amount back to the grid - might even get a credit on my next electricity bill!). Since being connected, i have not (to my knowledge) purchased a single watt of electricity from my retailer and that was the level of self-sufficiency i wanted. I have raved about essential solar to all my friends and have almost got a family member across the line to approach essential solar to arrange for solar systems to be installed on both their residential premises and their beach-house. In my mind, essential solar is the only solar installation company i would ever ever recommend and as for getting a solar system at all - i would urge everyone to do so. I also told vincent that should any future customer like to speak to an previous customer about their experience with essential solar, to not hesitate to pass on my phone number.

Over all i'am pleased the way essential solar conducted them selves from the sale persons to the installers.

I'am waiting on power core to connect before we see any rebate, usually a wait of up to 30 days. My advise is to be patient for a long turn investment. Good job. . Essential

They were professional right from the beginning of the sales to the installation stage. We finally got a best quality system ever and we are happy with it and it's performance.

I ended up choosing essential solar as i have found they listened and understood what i wanted with the solar system and then gave me a number of options to choose from being outside the normal fit and supply. I went with the top of the line inverter fronius and high performance sunpower panels. From the word go the sales team impressed me with their ability to explain and understand the system and through to the installation team who were efficient and most importantly clean, leaving no rubbish behind. I would have to rate solar essential as very professional, customer service orientated, forward thinking with a can do attitude with all their personnel including the office staff. This has been a 8 year project for us in making the decision with a lot of research on solar systems in the mean time. We are glad that we finally got essential solar to close a deal with us and are now the owners of a great solar system. I would have no reservations in recommending essential solar to others.

System exceeds expectations; about to move to winter months for first time, will reserve judgment till one year, may have to remove top of trees ; could be tricky, but worth it.

Essential solar were great and the only company that followed up and seemed genuinely interested in working with us. They were quite competitive with pricing and the installation team were really lovely. Have called the head office for help with a few things and they have been brilliant.

I prefer to comment on quality of the system after a few months of usage. Very prompt, efficient & professional service. Honest & frank discussion of the product & performance without pushing salesmanship. I would willingly recommend essential solar to my friends.

The whole experience was excellent. The technical sales advisor, ray explained the features and benefits of there product, without any hard sell, most refreshing this is how these products should be sold! The installation team were polite, courteous and efficient and left no mess. Two days before christmas we had a minor glitch getting our iphone app to communicate with the inverter. The business owner personally drove 2 hours from tullamarine to the mornington peninsula to deliver and install a wi-fi booster to fix the problem. This is what i call service!!!!

As the landlord of a rental property i thought solar might be complicated but rebecca at essential solar made the paperwork easy. I had tenants within two days!! The solar looks great and whatever helps my tenants also helps me. I went with essential solar because of the quality products and 24/7 monitoring they provide - frankly i don't have time to do it myself. I trusted the salesman and from what my friends tell me i've made a wise choice.

The only problems i have experienced are what appear to be unnecessary delays from both my retailer and distributor. It seems to be taking 40 days for my distributor to remotely press a button to make my smart meter bidirectional

I recently had my solar system installed by essential solar, i had done a lot of research regarding products and pricing and had a few different quotes. I chose essential solar due to the knowledge they provided to me at my home appointment the their prices are very competitive for the products used. I was happy with the professional standards the company offered, we were guided through from start to finish. I was very happy with how polite and efficient the installers were on the day. Essential solar called me to advise they had noticed through my system monitoring there was an issue with its peak and they came back out to check the inverter and advised it was an issue with my distributor and they called the distributor to have this rectified with no fuss. Without this additional monitoring i would have never know there was any type of issue. I was amazed by this type of service and this is why i have been recommending this wonderful company to my friends and family since my install and will continue to do so

Back in october 2015 i decided it was time to consider looking at solar power, so i went on line and emailed several installers. Of the 4 contacted only essential solar was prepared to visit at my home to discuss all aspects of having solar power installed. Essential solar in little over a month have had panels installed and certification completed. My dealings with rebecca in the office, amod the salesperson, balaji in it and the team of installers has been first class. I would have no hesitation in recommending essential solar to anyone considering looking at installing solar power.

Purchased a 4. 5 kw system (4. 5 kw for the panels and 5 kw inverter). 12 panels facing north and 5 panels west. Paid a bit more compared to the other quote, but for better quality panels (q-cells 265w) and inverter (fronius). Also, for online monitoring of the system performance. It has been running since early october 2015. The generation so far on a good day is at least 20kwh for the day. On a cloudy or rainy day, still manages to get 5kwh minimum. This should keep improving as the sun progresses to its highest towards the end of december. Our consumption during spring and autumn averages around 20kwh, so it will be interesting to see how our bill shapes up. The hope is to basically cover the electricity needs during spring and autumn and cover half during winter and summer. There is a smart phone app from fronius that allows the online viewing of power generation. Also web page which allows reports to be generated and historical data to be viewed. Installation took a day to put the 17 panels up. But they did a good job and the set up with red energy was all done by them. It took a couple of weeks to get connected to the grid because after installation it needs to be certified, then sent to red energy who configures our smart meter. All in all a good experience and looking forward (i hope) to not having a heart attack when our electricity bill comes in.

Great experience from essential solar" going solar with essentialsolar has been a great experience. After 4 months of researching what is available in the pv world, i chose essentialsolar because they supply quality product and have a patient and genuine attitude towards achieving your energy efficiencies. I sent this email to them after they installed my 5. 1kw system. The experience of all staff were very professional. We have produced 59% of our power on average over the last 12 months. Second to none for service, installation and quality products
