    The team from Solarrun Illawarra are best in class and have fantastic operators. They are professionals, properly licensed and, importantly, customer-focused. We had wanted to install solar panels for over twelve months. Our delay in committing to the investment was due to not knowing who to trust for our roof, electrical, and solar installation. Anyone can sell you a solar system, but few will work with you to understand your lifestyle and power needs and match you with the best solar system based on your budget and roof capacity. Craig from Solarrun Illawarra listened to our reasons for wanting solar, then asked qualifying questions to fine-tune the solar options best suited for our lifestyle - 'options' is the keyword; Craig didn't force us to use a 'one size fits all' package. Even when I specifically requested to upgrade from a one-phase to a three-phase configuration and add five additional panels above and beyond what he had recommended, Craig sincerely advised that I would see only minimal gains. It would not justify the investment in money, and he took the time to explain why. That, in all honesty, is priceless; you can't put a price on integrity and honesty. From the first engagement to post-installation training on using the system monitoring app, the entire process was smooth and impeccable. Communication at every stage was clear and transparent. On the installation day, the team arrived on time, was courteous, and removed all rubbish. The work was done right the first time and per specifications. We are delighted to have chosen Solarrun Illawarra as our solar partners and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering a solar solution. Special thanks and appreciation go out to Craig, Li and Luke for their customer-centric focus and professionalism.

    Amazing solar panels for my home in Wollongong and great customer service too! Our solar system was installed really quickly with clear communication from start to finish. Craig also showed us how to use the monitoring app on our phones after the solar was installed. I'm so happy I chose this company for solar energy! Even until today, Craig is still willing to answer any questions I have. What a great service from a local solar business in Wollongong!

Frequently asked questions

How much do solar installers typically charge?
Solar costs vary widely depending on system size, equipment choices, roof access and whether additional electrical upgrades or battery work are required. Simple panel adds or routine maintenance are typically much less involved than full system installs or battery integrations. This page shows live pricing to help compare current rates alongside the specific scope of your job.
Do solar installers charge call-out fees?
Yes — call-out fees are common for solar installers and are often charged to cover attendance and an initial assessment. Call-outs are usually separate from hourly labour and materials, and after-hours or emergency visits typically attract higher rates. Confirm whether a call-out fee is included or listed separately when comparing quotes.
Do solar installers need a licence in Australia?
Yes. Solar installation work is required to be carried out by a licensed installer in every Australian state and territory, and in NSW installers are licensed through NSW Fair Trading. Many installers also hold industry credentials such as Clean Energy Council accreditation and may display a valid state electrical contractor licence on quotes, as well as public liability insurance. These credentials can help indicate the installer has relevant training and compliance practices.
Does Best Solar Illawarra have a verified ABN?
Yes. Best Solar Illawarra has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
