Leigh Parkhill

Solar Wise were a very good company to deal with in a crowded market place. Their preliminary quoting was excellent and their customer relations were very good. Instillation was quick and efficient. We would highly recommend their service.

John Reeves

Professional and timely. I would deal this company again.

Anne Lowe

We are extremely happy with the service we received from SolarWise. Our first meeting gave us the information we wanted and needed to make the best decision for a system that suited our needs. There was no pressure to purchase and options and costs for different products were provided. We were given estimates for installation timeframes and they turned out to be very accurate. Installation was smooth and efficient and the follow up service from both SolarWise and the contract installer has been excellent. This may sound too good to be true but the process from information, quote, installation and follow up really has has been outstanding. We chose Solarwise based on a recommendation from someone else who had a very positive experience, and we would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone seeking information on solar installations. We are very impressed!

chris Thomson

Noel Menz

charelle horsley

Amazing company to deal with! Work done when they said it would be done and done within a couple of days. Quality of work was perfect. Super helpful in helping me get everything setup in the app and happy to answer all my questions. Couldn’t be happier.

Bidgee Strawberries and Cream

Solar wise were extremely professional, explained the different options and were super easy to work with

George Martin

I am very pleased with the service from SolarWise Wagga.Bob Hitchens, the sales manager, explained everything to me in detail after which I was happy to sign up for 17 solar panels. Four guys turned up after a couple of weeks and installed the solar panels with the minimum of fuss.Well done Bob and well done installation team.George Martin.I have now also purchased a Tesla Powerwall 2 and a hot water heat pump from SolarWise Wagga. Once again the service was first class.George Martin.

Hank Fisher

Bob's presentation at the REROC Energy and Innovation Conference was awesome. I got to see how much more value there is in combining solar, battery storage, and trading energy on the wholesale market. It was very interesting!

Jamie Grentell

We have recently had Alex, Bob and the team install an Enphase 8.36Kw 19 panel system with 10kw worth of batteries. The process was long because we had SO many questions and Bob answered them all. Nothing was too much trouble or trivial. We eventually decided on this system as it was the best fit for our home and lifestyle and WILL save us money in the future.The install was seamless and their installers were on time, polite, energetic and loved Tanya's scones.We cannot wait until we have clear sunny days for weeks in a row. We love watching the app and seeing the batteries charging, solar running all the appliances and energy being exported to the grid.Do not go anywhere else for your solar. You will be getting an inferior product with inferior service, Call Bob and Alex right now.

David Brady

We had SolarWise instal a system for us late 2023. We were very pleased with the service provided including the quotation and subsequent installation. All questions were answered to our satisfaction. We were kept well informed re the progress of our installation. The team who undertook the installation were also very courteous and professional and gave a good explanation of the system plus the app for us to monitor the system. Based on our experience, we are quite happy to recommend SolarWise.

David Hatch

Can't speak highly enough of the staff at Solarwise, Wagga Wagga. Despite busy schedule, sent a technician to a caravan park to resolve a Victron inverter issue that had been plaguing us for weeks on the road. Our batteries are now fully charged and we're happy campers. Highly recommended! Dave Hatch

Pete Revell

Thanks Alex for a great job.

Christopher Wells

Big Shout out to Alex and Ian from solarwise. The experience of boosting our current solar system was excellent. From the quote and visit to the end result, was very well performed. They were neat and it was installed in a timely manner. I would recommend these guys to do any solar work you require.Chris

Kate Bowden

Getting our new system up and running went so smoothly. Ian explained our different options and answered all of our questions. The Solarwise team were very professional and efficient in installing our system quickly without any problems.

Erica Williams

If you are looking to purchase solar we would highly recommend to purchase off Bob from SolarWise Wagga. We wanted to purchase our system from a locally owned business and our expectations were meet tenfold. The system quality and continuous support is exceptional.We have reached out to Bob on several occasions over the years to ensure we are using our system to our full potential. Bob ongoing knowledge and support is incredible. Bob you are a credit to SolarWise.

David O'Neill

We had our first 9.6kW system installed by Alex and his team back in 2010. Over the years since then Solarwise have added a Tesla Powerwall battery to our system, followed by a heat pump, an additional 4.1kW of solar panels and a second Tesla Powerwall battery.In all instances the workmanship and service of the Solarwise team has been exceptional. I highly recommend Alex and his team at Solarwise to anyone considering solar. I wouldn’t use anyone else. We are fortunate to have these guys operating in Wagga Wagga.

Ken Hampson

I have recently transitioned to solar panels, battery backup and a heat pump hot water system.The service and competence of the team at SolarWise Wagga Wagga is really of high customer service, solid product knowledge and strong focus on customer service. I would highly recommend SolarWise Wagga if you are thinking of or wanting to transition to solar power

Colin Taggart

Kate A

Amazing above and beyond customer service. Bob's been a legend. Fantastic explanation of the system when purchasing and really helped us in choosing the best electricity provider after having it installed.

Rob Cunningham

Bob and the team honor their words. Cannot fault the service. Unlike most companies once you pay you become "WHO was that again" Not here you are looked after all the time. Highly recommend

Peter Thomas

We had our system installed over eight months ago and it has worked faultlessly since then. At the time of installation, Alex and his team were very professional and courteous and explained everything to us and made us feel very comfortable with our decision to proceed. I would highly recommend this local business.

Russell Neil

tim cameron

I can't speak highly enough of these guys. Their professionalism has been 1st class from the time I had contacted Alex at SolarWise around one month ago. I was interested in solar options for our home in Wagga. Alex popped out to our place earlier than expected, we had good chat (in simple terms as I had minimal to no knowledge on the subject) and quotes for a couple of recommended options by the end of the week. When the install team were here (again, in sooner than the expected time frame), they were friendly, professional and cleaned up after themselves. Alex had just made a follow up call with me this morning giving me great confidence that SolarWise haven't just taken our cash and ran but will continue to support us going forward with keeping an eye on our usage, may offer further info and recommendations and help should we have any queries.Everything the team have done for us are what I expect of a local business but have certainly done it to the best of their ability in a better than expected time frame (which i understand is tough in the current climate due to many factors).Hands down 5 stars, fantastic service and experience

RVeeThereYet

Rang these guys about purchasing a Victron solar controller for our caravan. They didn’t have the exact unit I wanted in stock but had a similar model. Did it at a great price. Couldn’t be happier. Thanks fellas…!

OLD_GUY_OZ

SolarWise had to rewire the entire power board and did so with minimal delay, they also removed a damaged solar panel from the grid on an old system and reconnected that system to the power supply so now we have 2 systems running at no extra cost than what was quoted, Thank you very much, i would reccomend SolarWise to anybody who needs installation or repairs done.

Alan Barbour

Minimal interruption to our daily life, most courteous workmen

David Shaw

We where very happy with the service we received and the system's performance has exceeded our expectations

Andrew Stow

Alex and his team at SolarWise recently installed a roof solar system for me.They were at all times very helpful and I am very happy with the product they provided, and the price quoted.The job was carried out over 2 days, but the total time taken would have been a little over a day.The installation team worked around my daily routine and were very flexible. Alex’s after sales service was also great, ensuring that I was able to retrieve the best information from the system.

Ryan Nash

Great experience from start to finish. Can't fault anything. Thanks Alex and team

Trevor Player
