    Been looking to get solar system and battery, it is so overwhelming with so many companies out there. End up going with Outback Solar, they just installed a 13.7kw system, Foxess 15Kw inverter and 42kw battery in January 2026. I also had an existing 3kW and they connected it and it's working fine. Installation team (Matti & Mosiv) was really good, all compliant. Adam and John as great at communicating, we were able to sort things out. Overall very happy with my solar system. Fingers crossed no issues and if they is, their warranty will cover us. For those currently researching into which company to go with, look into them.

    I recently engaged Outback Solar to replace my solar panels with a new 13kw system on the roof and added a 24kw Sigenergy battery. John, from outback solar was very helpful and patient over a few days on the phone with me. He scheduled the work in well before the new rebate reduction in May. Outback Solar installers, Spider solar electrical, headed by Brandon were great. A team of 3 that were very knowledgeable, experienced, considerate, polite and clean. They completed the job in 2 days, working in 39 degree heat. The system works great. The app has all the features you'll ever want to see. When the sun is shining it seems to have no problems charging my 24kw battery ready to use overnight. If you're reading this, don't skimp on battery size as you'll need the stored power, especially if you're running air conditioning once the sun goes down. You pay a little more than other companies by the looks of it but you get what you pay for. I liked the fact that they were local and easy to contact if any issues arise. I highly recommend outback solar for all your solar needs. Give John a call.

    I had my old solar system removed and upgraded with 20 kW of panels and a 48 kWh battery. Adam was fantastic to deal with from start to finish — very responsive, transparent, and always provided helpful feedback. On installation day, Jay did an incredible job. Everything looks tidy and professional, and most importantly, our daily electricity bill has gone from about $20/day to a daily credit. I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend Outback Solar.

    It was a pleasure working with Adam on the solar upgrade + Sigenergy battery install. Adam patiently explained all the options available to me (in terms of AC/DC coupling) and was flexible enough to accommodate a last minute request to upgrade the size of the hybrid inverter. Timely install and competitive pricing.

    Had a great experience with Outback Solar. From the first contact to the install, everything was straightforward and easy. Matt, the installer, was awesome. He showed up on time, knew exactly what he was doing, and took the time to explain how everything worked. The install was clean, tidy, and done efficiently with no hassles. Really happy with how everything turned out and the system is working great. Would definitely recommend Outback Solar to anyone thinking about going solar.

    John was insightful, asked the right questions, and helped educate me in an industry that can feel overwhelming at first — especially given its reputation, the sheer number of brands available, and the technical complexity involved. He took the time to understand my situation and clearly explain the options without pressure. I’d recommend having a chat with John and the team to explore what’s available — they’ll help tailor a system that suits your needs.

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 Outback Solar have a verified ABN?
Yes. Outback Solar has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
