31 Dec 2020It gives me immense pleasure to be writing a recommendation to anyone who intends to have a home solar energy system installed. There are no shortage of Solar Providers to choose from. My experience with both large corporates and smaller niche owned businesses were similar. The feeling to me that appeared general across all Solar Providers was the assumption that the electricity bill was the fundamental base that determined the size and brand of the system. Additionally, it was obvious that certain Providers were far more inclined to propose specific preferred brands. The problem with such approaches is that the customer does not necessarily receive the best fit for purpose solution.
The stand-out Provider which I will recommend without the slightest hesitation is ‘Home and Energy’ from the Sunshine Coast. Initially I dealt with Vivianne Barry (Solar Advisor). Vivianne’s expertise coupled with her great listening ability made her the perfect go-to expert. In collaboration with Adam Derrick (Director and Technician), ‘Home and Energy’ tailored a solution that catered for the future needs of our home as well as the complications with the surrounding trees of our property. The design meant that we did not have to cut trees nor comprise on aesthetics of our home.
The Team of Technicians that carried out the installation exhibited the same high level of service.
I highly recommend ‘Home and Energy’ for all your solar needs. I have no doubt that you would be as satisfied as I am.

3 Dec 2020Just wanted to say a huge thank you to the entire team at Home and Energy. From start to finish of my solar installation the team have been so friendly and professional. Special mention to Adam for attending my home late on a Sunday night to fix a non-related electrical issue. Thanks also to Mariko and Gareth for responding to my Sunday night distress calls. I highly recommend these guys if you are looking to go solar, they're all so helpful and it is clear that they know their product very well. They have super competitive pricing and low interest loan options. It has been a pleasure doing business with them!

11 Aug 2020I have no problem recommending Home and Energy as a local solar provider as the team installed my system in 2013. My system worked perfectly for the first 5 yrs and then had issues related to the inverter tripping out. I contacted Adam and he diagnosed the problem as an issue relating to my energy provider and the feed in voltage, as opposed to any system problem. He reported the issue to Energex and continued to follow up with me in the following weeks to make sure the issue was addressed. As soon as the voltage was adjusted to my property my system stopped tripping out and I have been problem free every since. Thanks Adam for your assistance

11 Aug 2020The team from Home and Energy installed a 3kW Solar System to our roof recently. We found the team to be very professional and friendly. The system looks so neat on our roof and well positioned to get the best use of the sun. The teams expertise and knowledge of the product was exceptional.

10 Aug 2020We have had our solar energy by Home and Energy now for 4mths now and we couldn’t be happier. Adam and crew provided first rate service installing the 24 panels in record time. The components chosen are proving to be saving energy costs beyond our expectations. Even an electrical problem we were experiencing with our new home was identified and corrected by them. Thank you Home and Energy.

4 Aug 2020These guys were recommended by several of my friends and now I see why. Some people don’t like the look of solar panels on the roof but I actually think they make my house look better. Ill post a photo if I can… They have even called to make sure I am happy with everything and gave some tips and making the most of my free power.

2 Aug 2020I can highly recommend Adam and his team from Home and Energy. They are highly professional and friendly and gave a very detailed explanation on what was required. They were also very prompt in coming to replace my inverter and to do some necessary maintenance on my exisiting solar panels. I was overseas at the time they were carrying out the work but Adam kept me right up to date with what was required and included photos of the installation and repairs on completion which was very much appreciated. I will definitely use Home and Energy again in the future if needed and urge anyone else wishing to have a solar system put in to definitely consider using this great company.

29 Jul 2020We would just like to say thanks to Home and Energy for all their help and service. Having moved overseas our home is now used as a holiday let until we return. We found that the power bills sky rocketed so solar power seemed the obvious answer. These guys not only sent us lots of options and information but took care of the whole process for us. We have been sent lots of pictures of the finished job and the best bit is I can login to the system on my phone to see how much power we are making. Thanks again

27 Jul 2020Adam and his team from Solar Energy worked diligently to source our solar problem and also sourced our warranty and had a new system installed which is currently running well. We were thankful he was able to do this for us as our instalation company have folded and it was discovered that the panels and inverter supplied became faulty within their warranty period. He and his teams manner during this time of difficulty were second to none as they negotiated for us to receive new panels. We highly recommend them for any solar instalation or repair on the Sunshine Coast.

4 Mar 2020I would like to thank Adam and his whole team for the wonderful work they did for us. They chased up a warranty claim , made sure the panels arrived and fitted them in one day.

I would advise anyone needing anything connected with solar power or systems to make sure to call Adam and the team at Home and Energy. No one will give You better service and professional advice.

14 Aug 2019Our experience with Home and Energy in one word is fantastic. From the initial consultation the installation and final completion, the Solar experience has been nothing but positive. Every member of the team displayed a excellent knowledge of their area of expertise and a great work ethic. Communication throughout the process was faultless. A big thank you to Adam/Gareth/Mariko/Chris and the installation team and Steve. I highly recommend Home and Energy for Solar installation, they know Solar.

14 Jul 2019I met Gareth from Home and Energy on a plane flight to Tassie for a mountain biking trip. Super nice guy and very knowledgeable. I got talking to him about Solar and then ended up taking his details. I did a reasonable amount of research and ultimately decided that Home and Energy were a good option based on reviews, the SolarEdge option I went with, and competitive pricing. Our system (10.5kW SolarEdge panels and inverter) is now installed and I couldn’t be happier. The whole experience was handled extremely professionally and seamlessly. We are producing more energy than we are using, and now just waiting for our retailer to upgrade the meter so we can feed in. The app that comes with SolarEdge for monitoring is great. It looks like there’s a reasonable chance we are going to go from a fairly nasty electricity bill to a net payment back to us. The points of difference that I appreciated were the great communication, proactive inclusion of a new hot water element to optimise the system performance, and the ongoing monitoring that Home and Energy offer – both to automatically flag any faults that may occur, and also to provide post system implementation advice on retailer choice.

9 Jul 2019I would highly recommend Home and Energy for anyone wishing to install solar in there home.

8 Jul 2019Very happy with our new SolarEdge solar install. It ended up being a simple decision to use Home and Energy, firstly from the large amount of good reviews we read on google and secondly for the time they put into the quote and explaining every single detail without rush or being pushy. Every step of the process was explained and had no issues at all with the whole process, our new system is perfect for our needs and will definitely be recommending Home and Energy to anyone I know that is looking at getting solar. Thank you Adam and the friendly team at Home and Energy for such a hassle free process.

11 Jun 2019As recent retirees from Melbourne now living in Peregian Springs, when we needed to install a solar system to cut down our electricity bills it was an absolute ‘no brainer ‘to trust in the team at Home and Energy servicing the Sunshine Coast. After lengthy research often being bamboozled by high-pressure solar spruikers, it was such a relief to find a local installer with great product knowledge delivering a high-quality installation. They were certainly not the cheapest quote ‘but in life, we all know you get what you pay for’. Our large system will pay itself off in 3 years and our Winter in August 2018 electricity monthly bill was only $42. We are so thankful to have the peace of mind of choosing local and having access to exceptional after sales support by an extremely professional company with staff who are passionate about what they do.

13 May 2019It was a pleasure to work with Home and Energy. I have been extremely pleased with the quality of workmanship and performance of my new 5.5 kw fronius system. The software that comes with the fronius system is a great way to keep track of your consumption and production as well as the all important feedin. I could not be happier with my investment. Thanks Adam and the team.

22 Nov 2018Home and Energy did a super job for us. We had warranty issues with our first solar installation and so went into our second solar project cautiously but Adam and his team exceeded our expectations and made it all too easy. Good advice in modelling and selecting the right system, fast and well executed installation, no arguments about money when we changed our HW system partway though the installation and best of all, the post-installation service has been great. I feel confident that if any issues do arise in the future Home and Energy will help us sort them. Highly recommended.

30 Oct 2018I am very impressed with Home and Energy, they were able to provide me with a complete solution to my energy needs. They were prompt and punctual, the quality of materials used and workmanship were top notch and they cleaned up after. They showed me how to monitor my system and I feel confident with the after sales service and warranties. I would highly recommend Home and Energy to anyone looking for a solar system.

18 Aug 2018After doing some research on the internet, we called in Home and Energy for advice and a quote for a suitable solar system for our residence. Gareth was very helpful providing a wealth of information and a few options to choose. He completed a few quotes including forecast solar production taking into account our specific site. Once we’d made our decision, Home and Energy promptly made arrangements and the system was installed close to schedule, despite some delays caused by weather. Andre took charge of the installation and was very professional and friendly, with a final walk-through explanation of the working system. The back-up service is exceptional with Adam just a phone call away and ready to assist if needed. We highly recommend Home and Energy as a local Sunshine Coast service with a knowledgeable and professional team.

10 Aug 2018Home and Energy made the whole process very easy. They took the time to explain the system they offered and once I'd accepted their quote they expedited the installation smoothly and efficiently. Their follow up support, since installation, has been equally good. I would definitely recommend them to others.

26 Jul 2018Great service - Iain did a great job walking me through the options and took the time to answer my many questions. Got up on the roof before providing a quote. Install day by Bernard and his offsider Andre was seamless. Cabling is unobtrusive and site was left cleaner than when they arrived. System is running well and couldn’t be happier.

28 Jun 2018Thank you Home and Energy for making the process of switching to solar energy so smooth and successful. We were totally kept informed during the installation and linkage with Energex making it an easy transition. Ongoing communication with Adam to troubleshoot and optimise on the new system was much appreciated. All of our questions were promptly and fully answered. We know Home and Energy are still there for us. We are now saving huge amounts of money on our electricity bill and we are really happy with Home and Energy’s wonderful service. We like to use our local businesses and we’re more than happy that we chose Home and Energy.
