 AI reviews summary 

Sun Select is primarily praised for its competitive pricing and a smooth initial sales experience, with many repeat customers returning for battery upgrades years after their initial solar panel installation. While the majority of feedback is positive, a significant segment of users reports severe post-sale abandonment and technical failures.

Pros
  • Professional Sales Guidance: Consultations are frequently described as transparent and knowledgeable, with specific praise for staff members like Shane, Karl, and James for helping tailor system configurations.
  • Competitive Pricing: The company is consistently noted for offering some of the lowest prices in the market for mid-range equipment, particularly for FoxESS and Growatt systems.
  • Efficient Installation Teams: Many users report that installers are punctual, tidy, and provide thorough walkthroughs of the system and monitoring apps upon completion.
  • Repeat Customer Loyalty: Multiple reviewers highlight returning to the company for battery storage after successful long-term experiences with their solar panel installations.
Cons
  • Post-Sale Support Failures: There are significant recurring complaints regarding the company's refusal to honour warranties or manage technical faults, often leaving systems non-functional for months.
  • Communication Disconnects: Users have flagged instances where sales promises (such as installation locations or specific equipment compatibility) were contradicted by installers on the day of the job.
  • Refund and Deposit Issues: Several reports indicate long delays in receiving refunds, with some customers forced to involve their banks to recover deposits after cancelled or failed installations.
  • Quote Inflation: Multiple reviewers experienced "hidden costs" or price increases added to the final quote after the initial deposit was paid, despite being promised no additional fees.
Verdict

Sun Select is a viable option for consumers seeking competitive pricing and a streamlined sales process, provided the installation is straightforward. However, the recurring reports of poor after-sales accountability and difficult warranty claims suggest that users may face significant challenges if technical issues arise post-installation.

Oliver was my interface to Sun Select, he communicated well with getting approvals in place firstly with Synergy and following that with Western Power when they were satisfied with the contractors proposed delivery. Oliver was proactive in getting my delivery delivered timely as I am due to travel overseas in five weeks. A team of three very good electricians from Mann Electricals completed the installation in an afternoon. Show details

Sun Select were great to deal with. Jerry helped with all my questions and if he didn’t know the answer he sourced it very quickly. The process was very easy. The price was competitive and transparent. Mayer installed the system and did a great job helping to set up. Very happy so far although it’s only one day old. Show details

I recently had a 42kW solar battery installed by Sunselect and the entire experience was smooth, professional, and stress-free. The technicians did an excellent job, very neat, well organized, and clearly experienced. What really stands out is that this isn’t my first experience with them. Around four years ago, they installed an 11kW solar… Read more ·  1

For me, it’s not just about price, honest advice and professionalism matter just as much. Sunselect delivered on both fronts. Highly recommended.

stating it was a clunky app, hard to use and very basic. I have found the app to work well for my needs, easy to navigate and offers more than enough data. I’ve only had the set up for 2weeks, but very happy to date. We are yet to have a blackout to see how the black out protection will work.

Initially I got solar panels from SunSelect about 3 years ago. The whole process went quite well with amazing results, so when Karl called me back 2 years later with a very good option to install batteries I did not hestitate to accept it. Again the installation process was well organized and went as expected. Note that SunSelect provides a good customer support, you can reach them easily over a phone or email. Show details ·  1

existing solar, my battery had to be on the opposite side of the house from my existing solar inverter and switchboard, and I am double story. Archi and Charlie kept me up to date on the install. Install was initially delayed and re-scheduled for a week or so later. The actual install was very good, they were prompt and tidy and consulted me along the way on the day of the install. The finished job was good. The install team friendly and helpful, including setting up the app. I got quotes from suppliers that were much more expensive and wanted to replace everything. Yes it would be more efficient but it just was not worth the extra money. Overall I would use Sun Select again.

 Follow-up  · One month after install - everything is working perfectly. FoxESS battery, inverter and app have been faultless. Easy to use and I am now essentially not using any grid supplied electricity (though this will change in summer with more air con use).

Great customer service by Shane. Solar battery installation was completed to satisfaction. Initial issues raised around circuit breaker and app issues were addressed promptly. You can't beat them on price as they offer one of the most competitive price in the market and provide excellent customer support. Great value for money and I highly recommend SunSelect. Show details ·  1

This company is not fully based in Australia. Warning. All members I dealt with are in India or if in Australia, using fake names. Just check Sunselect on Linkedin for yourself. Their post sale experience: They screen calls and are selective on when to pick up. If they do respond, expect deception, excuses and an absolute lack of accountability. … Read more

The installation process was extremely difficult and poorly managed. Despite providing Sunselect with detailed information about my existing solar setup well before installation, the installer arrived without properly inspecting the system and began work without validating the existing configuration. The installation has now dragged on for months, with ongoing delays, poor communication and an incomplete, non-functional battery system.

I have been faced with only issues since the start of the engagement. These included poor workmanship, damage to my property, removal and return of my inverter in heavily scratched condition, repeated delays due to Sunselect allegedly losing critical installation components, lack of accountability between the installer and Sunselect, and ongoing system faults with the battery still not charging correctly after more than two months.

The issues were handled very poorly. Communication was inconsistent, updates were rarely proactive, and I constantly had to chase the company for information. Responsibility was repeatedly shifted between Sunselect and the installer, with no one taking ownership of resolving the problems. Overall, the entire experience post quote has been extremely disappointing.

Save yourself the time and frustration. This is absolute unprofessionalism.

I had a good initial sales consultation with Sunselect, but everything after that has been a very poor experience. The scheduling process was frustrating and took months before I could get a confirmed installation date. When the installation finally happened, it took all day, even though this should have been a straightforward replacement of an… Read more

existing battery with no changes required to my solar panels.

Since installation, Sunselect has had to return several times, yet the system is still not working correctly. The battery and solar reporting are still not right, and I have had to keep chasing them for a resolution. Rather than properly owning the problem, the support process has involved repeated back-and-forth, arguments about whether there is an issue, and a support ticket being closed without my confirmation that the problem had actually been fixed.

The most disappointing part is that this has dragged on from scheduling, through installation, and into ongoing unresolved support. I expected a professional installation and a working system, not months of delays followed by weeks of follow-up and disagreement.

The sales process was good, but the scheduling, installation, communication, and after-sales support have been absolutely horrible. Based on my experience, I could not recommend Sunselect unless they significantly improve how they manage installations, customer communication, and post-install support.

Paid the deposit $500 and big promise and guarantee will deliver before 1 may. Got call after few weeks that they can't install the one i paid for but they can install a half capacity instead. I refused and asked for refund. Three weeks after still no refund on my account though they assured me it's coming. Think twice before you decide who you are dealing with. Finally got my refund but after I logged dispute with the bank. Show details

Shane was great from the start, developing our solar solution and he maintained contact through to the finish. Hayden was also great in support and responded quickly when we had to reschedule due to weather. The system is installed perfectly and working well. All of our 33 panels fit perfectly on the roof. Wiring was very tidy and the battery is set up with available space for expansion in future. Highly recommend Sun Select! Show details ·  1
