What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Professionalism and patient guidance stand out as the qualities that recur most across accounts of Mode Energy's work in Launceston. More than one customer describes the process as seamless from the first visit through to sign-off and commissioning, with Simon frequently named for his hands-on approach, including taking roof measurements before quoting rather than sending a salesperson. More than one review highlights clear explanations of how different system designs would perform and unhurried answers for those new to solar.

Communication before and after the job is a point that comes up often, with Jo, Lydia and the wider office team credited for prompt replies and simple outlines of regulatory steps. Installations of panels, batteries and an 8kW system with Catch Power solar relay are described as efficient, tidy and courteous, with no audible swearing on site. Customers note the absence of pushy sales tactics and the presence of fair, competitive pricing, and they report that power bills have fallen after the work. One household returned for a second installation, citing the team's expertise and the ease of arranging payment options.

Installers, office and proprieter all excellent. Felt like we were on the same page all the way through - system 'commissioned' a fortnight ago - panels and batteries. Loving it.

Greetings Simon and Team Mode, We wanted to pass on a big thank you to the Mode teams which handled the installations of our initial solar system with a battery and, later, the additional battery. Also, the Mode administrative team is thoughtful, proactive, and pleasant, making the whole experience refreshing and efficient. Combined, Mode demonstrates a well-organized and professional team providing us with a very positive experience. As well as handling all the installation complexities, the installation team did a great job educating us on the system’s capabilities. Plain and simple, Mode made it easy. We don’t hesitate recommending Mode when talking about solar and battery systems. Regards, R&P

Mode is an excellent local business with a focus quality installations rather than aggressive marketing. I got 4 quotes and Simon was the only person who got up on the roof to take measurements before giving the quote. Every other company had only sent a salesperson, whereas Simon clearly had years of hands on experience installing systems personally. Every person from Mode Energy I spoke to was courteous, accomodating and graciously answered all my tricky questions. I've been extremely pleased and I have already recommended Mode to several of my friends.

Mode Energy is awesome. Their people are a credit to the company. Actually everyone I’ve dealt with at Mode has been exceptional - something that is not that common these days. I’m in awe at how efficient the installation was. Quick, pleasant to deal with, clean, no audible swearing (not that I’m bothered, but some tradies definitely have a way with words!), calm, collected, and over all extremely professional and courteous. I’m extremely happy with the job done and the outcome, and will certainly use Mode again in the future should the need arise.

Hi Simon, We wanted to say what a pleasure it has been having your awesome team at our home these past few days installing our panels and battery. They have been considerate, polite, and very professional fellows, tidy as well. They are an attribute to Mode Energy, and we will be spreading the word about what fabulous service your company provides. Thank you again, very happy customers, Jeanette and Greg Wise

Mode installed 8kw of solar (in addition to my existing 5 kw), a Tesla Powerwall 3, Tesla car charger, timers for the floor and water heating and switched my tariff to 93. Despite a protracted timescale due to ongoing building works, Mode accommodated my complex needs. They provided sound technical advice on the configuration, came when they said they would, installed everything neatly, tidied up before they left and answered all my questions. And I think the final bill was less than the initial estimate. Highly recommended!
