Steve E from QueenslandCannot say enough good things about Hawking Solar. I started from scratch, not knowing anything about solar power. I spent a full 2 weeks researching everything from panels to installers. Some vendors did not return my enquiries. Others were poor communicators. Others gave estimates that could be written on the palm of your hand. I progressively migrated to the more professional operators.
I was impressed with every aspect of Hawking Solar. James in Sales Dept had lots of information and was very accommodating. When I presented to James different feed-in-tariffs and different electricity costs from the grid, he happily re-entered the new numbers into the model to generate estimated costs and paybacks over time.

Monday 14th September, 2020Peter Gillies from QueenslandAfter obtaining quotes from three companies, I had Hawking solar installed a 13kW system for me. Hawking provided not only the best value for money proposal, but also did a fantastic job installing the panels in a professional way. Every step of the way the team communicated professionally to me and kept me informed. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a solar installation

Monday 14th September, 2020Jules Mackin from QueenslandHawking Solar provided excellent and professional service throughout the sales, install and post install process. They offered product choice, explained the differences in products and assessed the property location for suitability. Hawking Solar is competitively priced and is a locally based business. The install team was on time, friendly and efficient. They took the time to explain the operation of the inverter, made sure that it was connected to Hawking's panel monitoring system and showed me how to access the online program to enable me to monitor my panel energy generation. Hawking Solar provided the EWR number on the day of install so I could contact my energy provider to arrange connection to my electricity smart meter. This proactive service allows quicker connection for solar feed in, meaning you start saving money sooner. A very professional team, thank you Hawking Solar.

Monday 23rd September, 2019Marcelo Silva from QueenslandWe have our system installed by Hawking and I would recommend them... we haven't had any issues with the system, since day 1 it worked very well. I have to say here if you are looking to install solar panels on your place contact them for a quote BUT make sure everything they offer and tell you is on writing/e-mail so you don't have any surprises as we did. Our Inverter was installed in a different place of what we agreed (they installed outside the house) and took them 3 weeks and lots of e-mails/calls to get it fixed. We could have had a better experience but we are happy now everything is the way we wanted and the way they said it was going to be.

Tuesday 16th July, 2019Neil Myburg from QueenslandFantastic, from quote to install and still are great to deal with. Their quotes are clear and fair, you get what you pay for and I would gladly pay it again if I had to install again. Extremely efficient with their paperwork and systems, very well run business who kept me well informed every step of the way. I did extensive research and had plenty of quotes from various suppliers for solar, Go with Hawking Electrical & Solar! They will look after you and they will do what they say they will do.

Tuesday 2nd July, 2019Mitch Hydes from QueenslandRecently had a solar install done by Hawking. The guys that came and did the install were very professional and did a great job, explained everything well and kept me informed of what was happening throughout the install. So far the system is performing great. Overall very happy with the entire experience. Only negative I can think of was there was a fairly long lead time before the install was completed but that’s me scraping for something to find that wasn’t 100%.

Friday 21st December, 2018John Meertens from QueenslandA visit from Hawking Solar to quote on a possible Solar System was on time as agreed and very informative. Every question we had was comprehensively answered and followed up with supporting emails and data over the following days. The crew of three who installed the Solar panels were very respectful of our property, clean and neat in their work and clearly explained and demonstrated how the installation would take place. We could not ask for more from them.
Hawking Solar Customer Service staff were very prompt, timely and efficient in everything they did and much appreciated. Based on the above and the quality of the product I cannot see why any buyer would use anyone other than Hawking Solar. John M

Wednesday 7th March, 2018Ann Callahan from QueenslandWe were very impressed with the professionalism of this company from our first meeting with their salesman to the ongoing post installation contact. Our electricity bills have been getting progressively lower. For example our bill for the last quarter in 2016 was $832.40, while for the corresponding period in 2017 it was only $160.92 as a result of the installation of our solar system from Hawking Solar and negotiating reduced rates with our electricity supplier. At this rate our payback period will be less that the four years originally quoted.

Wednesday 22nd June, 2016Michael Retchford from QueenslandI have just had my new solar system supplied and fitted by Hawking Electrical and Solar. Do yourself a favour speak to these guys, get a quote you can't go wrong. From the start, very first phone call to the last phone call and all else in-between these guys were polite professional and fast. The rep came out and walk us through all options, he listened to us and then recommended a system that matched our need now but with the ability to change to suit new technologies i.e. Batteries banks. the guys that came out and fitted the system were terrific they were very professional clean and polite i felt re-assured to see and hear how they worked. The system went up and then the guys cleaned up after themselves. The office staff were great when it came time to set up the computer to see real time data . The system I bought is able to communicate through my wifi modem. How cool is that. Anyway thank you guys it was a pleasure doing business.

Tuesday 10th February, 2015Carl Willits from QueenslandAfter having repeated difficulties with the company that installed our solar panels I contacted Hawking. They were more than happy to help me with all my questions and put no pressure on me to use them. I was very impressed with their professionalism and honesty but mostly with their customer service. I highly recommend Hawking Electrical & Solar. The only regret now is that I didn't use them for installation.
