About the company

First Choice Solar has been helping South Australians since 2009. The business is family-owned and operated and was founded by Andrew Box.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Adelaide homeowners consistently describe clear, unhurried advice and meticulous installation work from this solar panel installer, which also covers solar energy system service, battery, isolator and EV charger work alongside solar panel maintenance. Reviewers repeatedly single out Andrew for explaining options honestly, and one account contrasts his approach with installers who proposed far larger systems than a household required, noting the recommendation matched genuine demand. Patrick, also called Pat, recurs as the installer who completed jobs efficiently, including a battery fitted where cable routing through the house was especially awkward.

Punctual attendance and steady communication from quotation through to completion come up often, together with fair, competitive pricing and an absence of sales pressure. Accounts mention quotes issued promptly and work booked quickly. Installed setups include a 6.6 kW array paired with a 15 kWh battery, a 10 kW system later expanded, and a full solar, battery and three-phase EV charging configuration that cut household bills substantially. Tidiness on site and the team's patience in answering questions, including after completion, round out the feedback.

Andrew provided a very competitive quote. We accepted his offer and arranged for installation in mid June. Andrew contacted me and confirmed the installation for the 17th of June. Ben and his apprentice arrived on time and carried out a very good installation and were completed by about 3pm. Ben checked the system ,loaded the app for me and explained the operation. They cleaned up their work area and took away all of the packaging. I am very happy with the whole process from quoting through to the installation .

Very happy with the battery. Access for cabling in our house was extremely difficult, but Pat still managed to get it installed.

We've just used Pat & Andrew for a full solar, battery, isolator and EV car charger installation. Both took the time to explain how all aspects of the system work together to dictate we feed back into the grid to our advantage, not just to the power supplier’s. Monthly bill has now dropped to $0.00 and with 3 phase we can look forward to the average buy back x 3. At all times Pat and Andrew were punctual, kept us in the loop with comms, and their work is very neatly installed. A competitive quote for first class service and a first-class product. Thanks gentlemen, Sally & Drew.

Fantastic service from Andrew and Pat, as well as their contractors serving as installers in the Yorke Peninsula area. We have installed 2 systems with the company and were really happy with the quoting, advice on solutions that meet our needs, the seamless installation, service and pricing. We would highly recommend Andrew’s business.

Andrew - Pat and the team where fabulous. Other installers recommended 15k/h systems which was completely unnecessary for my needs. You can trust Andrew and the team to recommend a system based on what you actually need. I now have a 6.6 kw/h solar system and a 15 kw/h battery and the cost of charging my MG4 Essence 64 is now virtually a couple of cents an hour.
