SolarThoughts® - Expert Solar and Battery Installation Company in Brisbane

I'm very happy with the installation we recieved. We got a large system with a gateway and everything has just worked. It was installed over 2 days after a weather delay but it is all very neat and tidy in the garage. We are using Amber and have it integrated into Home Assistant so we can see what it is doing. We are basically off grid. Our house (which we moved into recently) has 3 large ducted AC units which, to put it mildly, consume quite a bit of power. The aim of the system we put in was such that we would use the AC when-ever we felt like it with no reguard of power use (change our behaviour). The system has worked perfectly for this. Even though we have not seen a summer yet, we have been using the AC for heating in the evening and we have plenty of battery left for the morning. On clear days the battery is normally fully charged by 11-12, so we have power to burn all afternoon. I'm looking forward to summer, using the AC with no guilt ☺️.

From the very first contact, the whole process was flawless. Sud came out to assess our needs and made a really unbeatable quote. The boys were out within the week when other companies had waiting lists of 4-5 months. The installation team were very professional and just lovely to deal with. I can't recommend Solar Thoughts enough. Thank you guys!

I couldn’t be happier with the service from Solar Thoughts. From the initial consultation through to the installation of my solar panels and battery system, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. The entire process was hassle-free, with excellent communication and no pressure at any stage. The installation team was friendly, punctual, respectful, and clearly very knowledgeable about what they were doing. Their workmanship was outstanding, and they took the time to explain how the system works and answer all of my questions. I would highly recommend them for peace of mind.

Installed a 48 kWh Sigenergy system with SolarThoughts nearly six months ago and couldn’t be happier. The quality of the installation was excellent, and the team has always been helpful and responsive whenever I’ve had questions. Highly recommend SolarThoughts!

Had solar installed by Solar Thoughts over a year ago. As part of the installation, they were also supposed to install a hot water timer. Despite multiple follow-ups over several months, the work was never completed. Each time I contacted them, I was told things like "I've told my guy" or "he will come when we have a job close by," but no appointment was ever arranged and no one ever showed up. The messages speak for themselves. The solar system itself may work fine, but after-sales service and follow-through have been extremely disappointing. If there are outstanding items after your installation, don't expect them to be resolved promptly. I cannot recommend a company that repeatedly promises to complete work and then fails to do so for more than a year **Update to my original review after getting a phone call from Solar Thoughts and their reply here** To clarify a few points raised in the response: My review is not about the quality or complexity of the solar installation itself. I am also unsure why the complexity of the installation is being raised in response to my review. At no stage during quoting, installation, or afterwards was I advised that there were any unusual complexities or difficulties with the project. In any event, the installation was completed, and I paid for that work. My review does not criticise the quality of the installation, the workmanship, or the effort involved. The issue I raised relates solely to the commitments made regarding the hot water timer installation and the lack of follow-through despite repeated assurances that the work would be arranged and completed. While they now state that the timer was not part of the original contract, it was discussed separately and they agreed to arrange the installation, with payment to be made directly to the installer. The text messages show that the work was repeatedly acknowledged. I was told things such as "I've told my guy", "Will do it", "It's in the job sheet", and that someone would attend when there was a job nearby. If the work was never going to be completed, that could have been communicated at any point. While the installation took place some time ago, I recently had the hot water timer installed by another electrician, which prompted me to reflect on and review my experience. After posting my review, I received a phone call during which I was offered a refund if I removed the review. I declined because my review was not about obtaining a refund; it was about my experience as a customer and the fact that the commitments regarding the hot water timer installation were never fulfilled. I was subsequently advised that the matter may be referred to a solicitor. While the original issue related to the commitments made regarding the hot water timer installation, the subsequent response and phone conversation left me with broader concerns about after-sales support and the handling of genuine customer feedback. My review remains a factual account of my experience and the documented communications between us.

I had an excellent experience with SolarThoughts, and I’d highly recommend Sud and his team, along with IMEX, for anyone considering a solar installation. From start to finish, everything was handled professionally and neatly. The installation itself was carried out with great attention to detail, and you can clearly see the quality of workmanship in the final result. The team ensured everything was done right the first time, which gave me a lot of confidence. Communication throughout the entire process was spot on—clear, timely, and proactive. There were no issues or surprises at any stage, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. We opted for the GoodWe system, and so far, it has been performing exactly as expected. The team also took the time to explain the setup and ensure we were comfortable with the system before wrapping up. Overall, a terrific job by SolarThoughts, Sud, his team, and IMEX. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

We got our solar and battery installed by Solar Thoughts. The entire process was smooth, communication was clear, and the system was designed to meet our house energy need. Sud has been very professional and easy to deal with. The electrician who came to install the system did a very neat job. The system has been working fine, almost 1 month from installation date and so far we have been only consuming from our solar during the day and battery during evening. I have recommended them to some of my friends and co worker.
