Real feedback from Queensland homeowners who found trusted solar installers with our guide.
Using Brisbane Solar’s comparison tool made choosing an installer straightforward. The reviews helped me pick a reliable team that delivered on time and budget.
Frequently Asked Questions
Find clear answers to common questions about solar installation and how our comparison guide helps you select the right installer in Queensland.
How do you rank the solar installers?
We evaluate installers based on verified customer reviews from Google and other trusted platforms, service quality, pricing transparency, and installation experience to provide reliable rankings. The rankings we provide are the opinion of Brisbane Solar.
What factors should I consider when choosing a solar installer?
Look for installers with at least 20 years of experience. And we don't just mean "shared leadership experience"... we mean actual operations that have been operating in QLD for 20 years or more. Longevity is critical - it demonstrates not only expertise, but confidence that the company will be able to support you with issues, faults, and warranty claims. "Solar orphans" are common among newer, less established companies, and these customers are often left in the lurch when their installer goes bust (which, unfortunately, happens often in the solar industry).
You also want to look for positive customer reviews, including reviews of their after-sales service capabilities, as well as whether or not they offer on-site inspections and fixed quotes.
Is the comparison service free to use?
Yes, our comparison tool is completely free and designed to help you make an informed decision without any cost or obligation. There's no catch.
How long does the installation process usually take?
Decent solar installers can have lead times up to 15 weeks, depending on demand, rebate cycles, and the social climate of the time. Our advice? Don't let long lead times put you off. It's a sign that the installer is highly sought after. Begin your solar journey knowing that a wait will be involved, and that the wait is worth it.
Once the time has come for installation, a typical solar and battery installation can take 1-2 days, with more complex systems taking 2-3 days.
Can I trust the customer reviews on your site?
All reviews are collected from verified review sources, such as Google, Bing, Solar Quotes, Product Reviews, and more. Not only that, we actually read the reviews to make sure they were written by a human (no bots allowed - we can't be bought).
