    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot recommend Trent from A1 Solar highly enough! He went above and beyond during our solar installation, ensuring that everything was perfect. What truly impressed us was his dedication, he even showed up after hours to make sure our new system was running smoothly and efficiently. His professionalism and commitment to customer satisfaction are unmatched. If you're considering solar, you need to work with Trent!

    We had an incredible experience with Trent, Liz and their fantastic team installing our new off grid system. They went above and beyond to answer all our questions at any time. The finish product is nothing short of amazing, their attention to detail is spot on. An incredible local family run business.

    I can't praise these guys enough. We used one of the other guys to install solar doesn't 92 yr old mother and the system failed after 3 years, despite it being under warranty and the manufacturer supplying a replacement the other company refused to perform the warranty work.. A1 Solar & Electrical then stepped up to take on the warranty work for mum, despite it not being their responsibility and fixed the system. The team arrived when they said, fixed the system and everythings been great since. I can definitely say that from my perspective you can rely on these guys to fix your issues even if you live in Victoria's most remote town!

    Throughout the whole process right from the initial consultation, A1 Solar and Electrical were just that....A1. Based on my experience I highly recommend A1 Soar and Electrical. They were informative, taking time to explain the whole process and answer any of my questions when asked. They were courteous, did everything they said they would and did everything when they said they would. They came recommended to my by my Builder and now I recommend them myself.

    Trent and Liz with their crew have done a great job at installing our solar system. There prices were fair and competitive, and the quality of there work is of a high standard. They are very busy family business but worth the wait and I will be returning to them in the future if we need servicing and upgrades.

    Fantastic people to work with Trent explained everything he did and other options we could have gone with. His attitude and workmanship was really amazing. Then dealing with his wife Liz was just wonderful, you wouldn't find a nicer person. It's really great to see a hard working young family with exceptional customer service and old school values.

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.
