Ben installed a Evnex 3 phase charger for me recently. Couldn't fault the service. Super knowledgeable and generous with explaining all the in's and out's of each charger and how it works. Spent time to make sure it was set-up and the app was working well and I understood it all. Communicated clearly, showed up on time, did a great job! And was cheaper than my other quote.

Our experience with Ben was very positive. Our job entailed faultfinding our solar PV system with a view to suggesting options. Ben was prompt in his response to our initial contact. He maintained regular communication in a friendly and professional manner. The cost of the replacement system we chose was competitive and within market pricing. We highly recommend Ben.

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.
