Amazing service. They have installed solar system and battery at my property and coupled my existing solar system with the new battery. It’s working perfectly as expected. Savings a lot in electricity usage. Good workmanship and fantastic communication @ Rick, Jerry Thanks SolarMaax

I used this installer back in 2019 to have a solar system installed and they were efficient, tidy and had no issues. Recently the inverter stopped working with no issues prior. I reached out to Team Solarmaxx who had initially installed the system. His service agent logged a ticket as a warranty replacement of the inverter and they have completed… Read more

the warranty installation today Aug 2026. They were thorough, efficient and reliable. Even after a few years I was happy to see the Solarmaxx team still going strong. I want to thank the team at Solarmaxx for another job well done! I definitely recommend them for solar or battery installation.

Very disappointing experience with Solar Max. Our solar system was installed in 2024, and we have now had it inspected by an independent professional. Unfortunately, the inspection identified serious issues with the original installation. The solar panels were not installed correctly in relation to the roof tiles, leaving gaps that may allow… Read more

water to enter and potentially cause roof leaks or damage. We also discovered that one of the installed solar panels is not functioning.

What makes this even more frustrating is that communication with the company has been difficult from the beginning. We had no reason to know about these installation issues until we arranged an independent inspection.

After paying for a professional solar installation, we expected the system to be installed correctly, all panels to be operational, and the roof to be left properly protected from water ingress.

Based on our experience and the findings of the independent inspection, we unfortunately cannot recommend Solar Max.

I recently had a 13.3 kW solar system and a 30 kWh battery installed at my home. The entire process from quoting to the physical installation and technical support was exceptionally smooth. The team was professional and did a great job at my property.

Went through the process, met with about 5 installers and in the end, I just couldnt ignore the price difference for exactly the same system. for 50kw GoodWe and 22kw panels on 3 phase, the next closest quote was over 10k ranging up to 20k more than SolarMaxx. Admittedly, I had my reservations, but I just couldn’t work out why the "local" or… Read more

"premium" installers were charging so much more. I went ahead with Solarmaxx and I can happily report that it has been a great experience. The installers were exceptional, work neat and tidy and the system has been operating without a hiccup. Pro tip, when you meet with an installer and they insist on coming to your home to discuss the quote in person then they have to bring our a calculator program or put a 5 page document in front of you showing you how you can pay it off over five/ten years, that's normally a tell that it's going to be overpriced. Give SolarMaxx a call, and ask for Richard.

Solarmax has delivered an outstanding solution for my solar energy system. The installation was efficiently completed within a single day. We extend our gratitude to Alex from Solarmax for his excellent service.

We went with Solaarmaxx initially with just solar panel. But we finally upgraded with the battery. Alex Wood was super helpful from the beginning, helping us to secure the best deal and followed up with us from a to z. Direct communication with him and his team really helped and so far very happy with the material we got.

Just want to say that having worked on getting my Solar battery solution from Solarmaxx’s Kevin Jones has been a smooth, and very good experience. Kevin and Solarmaxx has provided great after sale service on my battery, and when we considered getting a battery solution for our other property, Kevin and Solarmaxx was the best solar team amongst the… Read more

3 that got to quote and make offers. I highly recommend Kevin and Solarmaxx for a battery solution. They make sure they get the best battery and panel installation for your individual circumstances, they ask the right questions, deliver when promised and make themselves available for after sale support. More than I can say for some others that we have tried!

I installed their battery and inverter a few months ago and have endless problems setting up. The app is useless. It just fails to work with my energy provider. Costing me money. See the photo. Solarmaxx just do did not respond to emails, phone calls or even text messages. Their call line goes through to music, no explanation , no options, and… Read more

nobody EVER answers! I thought they had gone out of business.

And then one day I heard from Jerry. He’s new there and he’s trying to turn the business around. He responds every time I call and is very willing to help.

Thus I’ve changed my rating from a 1 to 3. Time will tell whether it stays that way. So far, Jerry is very responsive. Thanks Jerry.

Solarmaxx installed two 6.6kw systems in our property, consisting of two seperate units in Brisbane, QLD. The whole experience from start to finish was stellar and smooth. Basically took around half a day for the installation for both units. I would highly recommend Solarmaxx to everyone considering solar. We would also happily use the services of SolarMaxx again.

The product that I received in my home has been working for the past few months perfectly and was such an easy process. I would recommend this to everyone

Solarmaxx installed a 13kw Jinko panel system, with a 10kw Sungrow inverter, and 16kw Sungrow battery on my house 2 months ago. The installation was excellent and the system is performing perfectly. The whole team at Solarmaxx worked seamlessly. I… Read more

even required a last minute change of roof layout needing different roof attachments on the installation day. No problem. The installers quickly reorganised one of their team to go back and get the fittings. The price was very reasonable and all components very good quality. Thankyou Solarmaxx.

Wow. What a company ! (Total Lucky Dip if you get any service)..Starts with good technical amd sale service, then once they get that deposit from you.... absolute shambles !.... Zero engineering done. Total fly by lot. After dozens of messages they… Read more

finally showed up on a perfect day, then there installer reveals a job card that was instructing him to remove my entire preexisting solar system, when all that was ordered was a battery and additional solar panels...... what is sad is that these guys are not the cheapest in the market,and I was paying $17k for a qaulity system to ensure it lasted and ready for eventual off grid operation.... Dont go near these guys if you value your time.

There installer was a sub and complaining about cost of the job. He was rude and left the job when he incorrectly assessed the existing panels cant be used with the new system (even though they are lower spec). He had no information to even make that assessment (and did not want it when I offered to get the data to crosscheck). Disgusted with the handling of that matter when I followed it up with there designer.

Now have the mission of getting legal aide to recover the hefty deposit they took when they were 'nice and responsive' before sign up.

 Follow-up  · Update. Missed the battery rebate due to the debarcle. Company eventually gave back deposit (though tried to make me remove this review beforhand). They then attempted to try and upseĺl another offer ($27k) (way above original budget). I declined.... Mostly because dont need to be mucked about further and the cost is no longer ecomical.

We are happy with the work done by the team. The solar battery has been installed for about 6 months now and it has run smoothly so far. Thanks Jerry and the technical team.

The Solarmaxx crew made sure to install my battery before the rebate period ended and I am very happy with the system. And don’t forget about Jerry, he is very good.

5/5 Stars to Solarmaxx – excellent experience from start to finish! I couldn't be happier with my decision to go with SolarMaxx for our home solar battery system. From a value perspective, the battery pricing was very competitive compared to other quotes I received, offering great capacity and efficiency without the inflated price tag. The… Read more

installation process was impressively smooth. I was away on holidays at the time and had to leave it to my son-in-law to manage. The team turned up on time, kept the work site tidy, and handled everything efficiently without any disruption to our routine.

A special mention must go to Jerry and Anthony, who were absolute standouts post-installation when I had issues getting the monitoring app FoxCloud working. Jerry's patience in answering all my technical questions and walking me through the details was incredible. He made sure I fully understood how the system works and was really helpful in guiding and instructing me to resolve my issue

I want to be clear upfront, my issues with the company relates only to one individual and one department, Archie Jones in the installations team. The day after installation of the solar and battery I received an additional invoice of $150 for a concrete slab which the battery sat on. The issue was that I paid for, and installed the slab myself. I… Read more

emailed Archie to seek clarification. I initially received no response and it wasn’t until I started emailing different departments that I finally got a response stating that the contractor invoiced them. I found this suspicious for I was present during the installation. Archie then sent me the contractor's invoice as proof. Again, it looked fabricated. I then requested the contact details and name for the installer, I only had a workers mobile number. At this point I managed to speak with the installation department via Archie’s number. A female was now the one whom I spoke with stating that she was Archie. Very strange. Regardless, I spoke with her to get the contractors contact name and details due to another matter of a part we were waiting on, a smart meter. She was very hesitant stating they would follow up on my behalf. After multiple attempts, they finally provided the details. The contractor confirmed that they never sent an invoice to Solarmaxx. A very dishonest practice.

My experience with SolarMaxx has been very disappointing. In January 2026, I agreed to proceed with SolarMaxx for a solar and battery installation, paid the requested deposit, and cancelled another supplier in reliance on SolarMaxx proceeding. After months of delays and assurances that the job was progressing, SolarMaxx has now advised it will… Read more

not install the system, citing site issues that were known or should have been assessed before accepting my order.

I have repeatedly asked for this to be escalated to the CEO, owner, or a senior decision-maker. My preferred outcome remains simple: I want SolarMaxx to honour the contract and install the system as agreed.

Would give zero stars if possible. Waited 6 months for installation despite contract stating 6-7 weeks. Booked and rescheduled so many times, took time off work to be there, only for installation to be cancelled last minute several times. Now after two months post installation - its not working at all. For two weeks we have been calling SolarMaxx… Read more

and we keep getting told "we will call you back". I call every day to be told a different excuse. So I am now stopping my payments until you guys book someone to come fix it!

We’ve had a fantastic experience with Solarmaxx from start to finish. They originally installed our solar panels, we recently had them back to install Fox battery. ​Once again, Manoj and the team delivered top-notch service. The installation was smooth, prompt and they took the time to walk us through how the new battery setup works. Highly recommend Solarmaxx to anyone looking into solar or storage solutions!

Very happy customer here. Had an issue with an existing system and Jerry was more than helpful. Organise an electrician to come out and fix the problem in no time. Highly recommend dealing with Jerry.
