Satisfied customer
A sign of a good business is how they react if any issues arise. We had an issue during installation, we advised Alan who immediately set a process in place to rectify the problem. We are more than happy with our installation. Thank you Alan25 September 2023
3 Phase Power
I narrowed it down to two local family run companies. 3 Phase just edged the other company out with price and what I considered to be better panels.They were prompt and willing to talk me through the technical details.
I found it useful that all the quotes used the same template.

Solar Installers
Sales process was efficient with the company representative turning up on time for the inspection appointment and provision of a detailed quote.Installation was scheduled but delayed due to the influx of significant commercial work for the Company. The installation was immediately rescheduled to the next weekend and completed within the expected time frame.
Communication from the company could have been better in relation to some minor delays due to equipment damage.
Site clean up could have been better, some off cuts left lying around and meter box and gas meter left covered in brick dust from drilling activities.
Grid connection was arranged by the company but delayed due to waiting for delivery of the Certificate of Electrical Safety from the Inspector.
The installation process went smoothly. Overall rating for the company from me is 4.9 stars.

Very satisfied customer
We were very satisfied with our solar installation experience with 3 Phase Solar. Alan was very patient with us and explained every aspect in great detail, and designed a system to meet both our current and future needs. Prompt and punctual service, and we now have a quality set-up that should stand the test of time. There were appreciably cheaper alternatives, but we were happy to pay more for a great system and Alan’s very professional service.13 October 2022

Thanks Nathan. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a positive review. If you ever need support, we are here for you.07 January 2022
Excellent service
From beginning to end the service was excellent. The team dealt with my many queries patiently and answered clearly, giving me understandable info. After carefulconsideration I chose the best priced system rather than the best quantity one, as I use only a moderate to small amount of electricity. 3Phase made the whose process stress free, and I am vey pleased with my system. Installation team was punctual, tidy and pleasant.

Clean energy
Good quality system , already in credit power bills, highly recommend this company prompt service from start to finish.21 August 2021
Excellent company to deal with
I recently had a Solaredge 6kW inverter and 16 panels installed by 3 Phase Solar. The system is fantastic. The process was made very smooth from the outset. Sales process was in-person and thorough. Alan provided excellent advice and guidance through the application process for government grants/loans. Constant communication was proactive and regular without being pushy.Come install day, three blokes turned up - utterly professional and flexible around requests. They identified (and replaced) any cracked roof tiles before we starting. 6 hours later, job done!
Inspector attended the following day to commission the system.
What a great company to use - very happy with my choice to go with 3 Phase Solar.

3 Phase Solar : Great Installer Very Professional.
3 Phase Solar had a great explanation of the system, Alan West gave me multiple quotes for various systems i was inquiring about. Gave me the best layout to maximize Solar Panel performance. Was quick to respond to my questions.His installation team worked great together and did a fantastic job. Very Punctual. Very happy with the way it came out. 3 Phase Solar are doing all the next steps to get me hooked up for grid connection. System is Fronius 8.2KW inverter, 32 x 325W Sunpower Panels. Solar Analytics Installed with Life time subscription.
8 months later we asked Mario: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes performing very well , system produces great power. It performs better than some 13kw panel and 10kw invertor systems.28 July 2021
Great work. Definitely recommend!
Very good experience with the 3 Phase Solar Team.Alan came out to our place and did a site survey and answered lots of my questions, then supplied various quote options. In the end we went with 24 x SunPower Maxeon 5, 400W Panels with Enphase Microinverters for a 9.6Kw system on a two story house running three phase power.
The installation went well - there were a couple of small hiccups which were not directly related to Alans team (i.e. the weather caused some delays, the safety scaffolding took a while, etc). These things were out of his control though and his team were excellent. Friendly, arrived on time, didn't leave any mess behind, etc.
A few follow up questions have been quickly answered by Alan, so after sales support is also great.
I definitely recommend the team at 3 Phase Solar!

Outstanding Service
3Phase Solar Team has been excellent since the beginning of the process. Alan provided us with 3 different quotes for the solar system to choose from. He always responded promptly and explained to us clearly about the system and answered our questions. The installation process was smooth and the team was punctual and did the work neatly. They also communicated with our electricity retailer to organise the grid connection. Highly recommend their service.Panel rating: 5/5

Informative Installation
3Phase where very professional and informative in there quoting process.They took the time to actually visit the site and inspect all aspects of the solar quote/installation, so that there were no hidden surprises.
The installation itself was also done professionally. The Installers and the electrician where friendly, punctual knowledgeable and tidy .
My solar installation was not a straight forward one, therefore it was comforting to know that 3Phase was always able to assure and advise me every step of the way, which included their part in the organizing of the grid connection after installation. Highly Recommended.

Great products, service and installation
Great service from the start. Alan came to our house and spent the time to understand what we wanted / needed and design a suitable system, plus made the technical info easy enough to understand.Little design thinks like using black mounting hardware made such a difference!
In follow up emails he was quick to respond to emails and my system redesign requests, without pressuring us into buying (unlike other companies who's call centre staff would call or email every day or 2).
Alex and the installation team showed up on time, were clean, friendly and the quality of work is great.

A worry-free and rewarding purchase experience
Right from my initial contact with Alan I knew I was dealing with a person well qualified in the solar industry and capable of answering all my queries relating to product, performance and pricing involved in the purchase of a solar energy system.Alan designed a system within our budget to suit our needs using top quality products. Anthony and his installers arrived on time, were courteous, easy to get along with and overall a happy and friendly bunch of guys. The site was left spotless and the install was of the highest quality. All paperwork was done by Alan and his team.
Overall, 3 Phase solar is a very professional company with high standards and product knowledge second to none.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Alan and his company to any potential purchaser looking for a solar energy system.

3 Phase Solar
Initial call till signing off went very well with all questions answered at any time and was kept informed at all stages.8 months later we asked John: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
The 6.6 solar system that we had installed has been an excellent investment .08 February 2021
Top Class Installer
Alan and his team has provided a very pleasant Solar Installation experience. Alan gave a professional explanation of all the installation options at our disposal and a good explanation the available government rebates and how to apply.I was very impressed in the quality workmanship of Alan's installation team led by Alex. The installation was carried out with no fuss and quiet discussion within the group at all times.
Thank you 3 Phase Solar

Excited to finally have solar panels
I have been wanting solar panels for a long time and I have finally done it. 3Phase Solar did this for me after providing a very competitive quote. Unfortunately, we broke one of Fin's rules and they didn't do a site visit. This caused some minor issues on installation and me some unnecessary stress (hence the 4 stars for customer service). In the end, we all made friends and the installation was completed professionally and in a timely manner by Alex and his team. System was inspected and turned on today and is madly generating power.03 December 2020
Good advice coupled with fantastic customer service
From the time I contacted him, Alan was very responsive to my queries and altered the system configuration multiple times to give me a quality system that met my budget. He provided good advice and was helpful with the whole application process.Anthony and his team who did the installation were great. Arrived on time, did a neat job, cleared up after themselves and even replaced a few broken tiles while they were on the roof.
15 November 2020
Very happy customer.
I received about 10 quotes from 6 different suppliers. 3 Phase Solar was the best in terms of value for money and quality of the products and warranty. They were not the cheapest but not the most expensive. Also a local family run business.I annoyed Alan a lot and he was very patient. He was the only one who did a site visit during quoting. And the quoting software he used was very impressive interms of details and
The install was seamless. Ontime and very courteous. I was very happy and when i say the guys rock up and set up fall protection, safety railing around the house being a one storey. Instantly i knew i had made the right decision as they cared about the safety of their employees/contractors
The follow up and the time to go through the operating instructions after the install was great. The electrical inspector that attended a few days later mentioned how this was the best installers and jobs that he goes to are you usually the best.
3 months on, the system is working perfectly and overperforming. The payback analysis and the payback period was not overestimated in the quote which a lot contractors tend to do. The comprehensive monitoring is actually something that is followed up on. 3 months later I received an email from Alan advising the solar analytics lost signal for a few hours on the day. We had it turned off while installing some fans around the house.
Highly recommended to consider.

Fantastic installation!
I could not recommend Alan and the team at 3 Phase Solar more highly. Right from the first quote Alan was incredibly professional and took the time to understand what I was looking for. He was able to provide multiple quotes and give me advice on the best system for my budget. The installation itself was very smooth and I am very happy with the final product and outcomePanel rating: 5/5

Easy process
Although I believe it was a difficult job, being double story and needing lots of panels, the installer Alan West worked out how to achieve the best result.Everything worked very smoothly and the back-up information has been great.

Fantastic experience, couldn't be happier
3 Phase Solar gave us a quality set of panels and inverter at a great price, with a hassle-free installation.Alan responded quickly to our requests and was very helpful during the quotation and system selection. He's an electrical engineer and is clearly personally passionate about solar systems so we got thoughtful and informed advice. He spent time asking us what our needs and priorities were for a system, and advised us on systems at various price levels with their pros and cons. He didn't try to sell us on anything but helped tailor a system appropriate for our needs, including some tricky tree shade issues on our roof (we ended up choosing a system with optimisers, we were mostly interested in system with maximal efficiency for environmental reasons). My parents coincidentally had chosen Alan to install their solar a few weeks previously (they found him through SolarQuotes) and they were more interested in balancing quality with price, so he recommended a different set of (cheaper) options to them (although all the systems he uses are good quality ones as per this site).
Alan communicated well with us throughout the planning, including some helpful reminders to get our documents together in time before the rebate changed. Everything was really easy, he just sends links to the correct online forms by email, it was all done in a few minutes.
During the installation Alan came over to check Andrew (the electrician) was going ok and that we were happy with everything. Andrew was punctual, communicated well and kept us well advised of all decisions and progress during the day. He was careful and tidy, and checked our roof before he started and even replaced several cracked tiles! After the installation he cleaned up thoroughly and explained how to manage the system, very informative and answered all our questions. So far we've had great follow-up and support for our system, which is working brilliantly.
I can't recommend 3 Phase Solar enough; honest, thorough and a great deal. Thanks Alan and Andrew!

Couldn't be happier, Fantastic job
From start to finish my solar install has been a breeze. Alan and his team went beyond what i was expecting in all aspects. All of my questions got answered in an honest and truthfully manner. Alan quoted all different options that suited my needs and budget options. I had the 9.9kw system installed with a Fronius inverter, Anthony and his crew did an outstanding job with the install, taking pride in their work and the way they finished off the little things was above what i had expected. They were polite and punctual, left the property clean and neat, no rubbish to be found.I wouldn't hesitate in recommending 3 Phase Solar to my family and friends, or anyone looking to get solar at home.

Great!
We definitely recommended 3 Phase Solar! Alan and his team were great! His service was that good that we signed up on the dot! Today 15/06, the panels were installed and we are very happy!11 June 2020
Reasonable Package with Independent Monitoring Tool
While I aim for best priced solar package, I also want to ensure my investment is protected as there is a higher chance the panels will have performance issues in a long run. The installer had bundled together Solar Analytics, an active performance assessment tool which ticked my boxes. Very knowledgeable in what they offer and stick to the facts when supporting me with questions I have. From accepting quotes to finished installation just within 4 weeks time, now waiting for my energy retailer to reconfigure my meter. Very pleasant journey from getting quotes up to completely installed and running.10 June 2020
Money saved

Was kept in the loop at all times.
Would certainly recommend 3 Phase Solar

Fantastic service by Alan and his team!!
From the get go Alan was helpful in every way possible. We went through a number of different configurations and he was patient whilst I made up my mind which way we would go. He followed up regularly and kept me in the loop from getting signed up, through the application process right through to completion.The installers were professional, on-time and very polite and cleaned up once they finished and walked me through everything.
I would highly recommend Alan and 3 Phase Solar. Professional in every way! Great work. I will definitely be recommending to my family and friends!!

Job well done.
Prompt response and all queries swiftly resolved.Very happy with the overall work done. Work carried out within advised timelines.
Sturdy installation on a tiled roof (no tiles got damaged either).
Highly recommended.

Excellent affordable service
The sales and quoting process with 3 phase was excellent. He answer all my questions and was able to install the solar panels relatively quickly. The installation was suppose to take 3 days to install 28 panels but it only took a day as they did overtime. The installers were tidy and punctual. Alan, the sales rep came back the next day to demonstrate how to use the solar monitoring app and organised the grid connection.27 February 2020

Alan was a pleasure to deal with and explained and clarified any doubts or questions I raised.Anthony, the installer was also excellent and very professional.

I was very impressed with the installer. They spent extra time repairing and replacing roof tiles while installing the solar panels.8 months later we asked Marilyn: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
The only problem we had was with the data monitoring component which stopped working in April. After two weeks it was replaced and the new one has not missed a beat.We are very happy with our solar system

Excellent installation. Very happy.
Alan was very patient with initial enquiries and questions. Throughout the who process his communication was excellent and was very prompt when replying to enquiries.His recommendations on equipment were concise and the installation process was seemless.
Since installation he has been available to answer further queries and has monitored the systems performance to ensure optimal performance.

Very satisfied
Having the agent visit the house to talk through the needs, usage, long term strategies and size was most helpful. Dealing with the one guy who was very responsive to queries all the way through to inspection was ideal. The quality of the product and the friendly and very efficient installation team was great. Very tidy and thorough. I am happy to recommend Three Phase Solar.
