EXCELLENT Based on 9 reviews Posted on Google Secret DudeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had solar panels and heat pump hot water installed from Start Solar and as previously reviewed they were magnificent in service, timing and great products with exceptional installation. I have just had a 42Kw battery system and once again I have only glowing reports. I have dealt with Tina the whole way and have extreme confidence in her advice, knowledge and she has magnificent customer service.Posted on Google Rehan AzharTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mandy is a brilliant salesman! He gave me genuine, honest advice and expedited my installation. My solar battery was installed within 3 days of my first contact with him. Unlike other salesman who try to oversell or make you buy a battery capacity you will never need, Mandy was upfront about what my home needs were and guided me accordingly. He also gave me the most competitive quote from all the companies that I contacted. My recommendation would be to go with Start Solar for all your solar needs and have Mandy manage the installation for you.Posted on Google Chris YarwoodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I originally had a 10kWh battery installed by Start Solar two years ago, and I’ve just had them install two more 10kWh batteries. Their price was very competitive, and the whole process was smooth. From the original quote to installation only took about four weeks, which was much quicker than I expected. Thanks, Start Solar! 😊Posted on Google Y STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the hot water service installed. The team were very responsive.

FAQ
We're here to help
Common questions about going solar with Start Solar in Victoria.
What should I consider before purchasing a solar system?
Consider your roof’s direction it should get sunlight between 9am and 3pm. You’ll need around 15x15m of clear roof space for a minimum 1.5kW system, and the roof should be strong enough to support the panels.
Does installing solar increase my home's value?
Yes. A solar PV system adds a capital asset to your property and is increasingly attractive to buyers looking for energy-efficient homes with lower running costs.
How does solar save me money?
Solar reduces your electricity bills and may qualify you for government incentives. Combined with rebates and feed-in tariffs, customers often save thousands over the system’s lifetime.
How long does installation take?
Once paperwork and grid approval are complete, most residential installations are completed in a single day, depending on system size and location.
What is the lifespan of a solar system?
When maintained properly, solar systems produce electricity for 25+ years. Most panel manufacturers guarantee at least 80% efficiency for 25 years.
