6 Apr 2025I had my Solar upgraded by First Choice Solar in September 2024. Very happy with the whole experience from quote to install and commissioning. I think install a battery in the future and I'll be going straight to First Choice.

19 Jan 2025I contacted First Choice Solar regarding installation of extra Solar Panels and was impressed with the service offered by Matt and the work he and his team conducted. I have recommended First Choice Solar to many people who have installed their system as well. Like my Husband and I they have been extremely happy that we all chose First Choice Solar.

10 Nov 2024I had my solar cells installed in January 2013 and have had an amazing run up until we had a severe hail storm on the 19th of April, 2020. Since the storm we are not getting full power from the cells, and I will have them checked this week sometime, but as I said an amazing run. Thanks very much First Choice Solar.

22 Aug 2024Excellent friendly service, very prompt and efficient repairs to our 7 year old system. Fault was diagnosed and repaired within 24 hours, we would happily recommend First Choice Solar to repair existing systems or install new ones.
