What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Melbourne households relying on this electrical and solar outfit describe a consistent thread of professionalism running through jobs of very different sizes. Accounts frequently highlight a smooth path from the initial quote to completion, with the crew sharing the important updates while sparing customers an overload of detail. Kevin draws repeated mention for taking the time to study a year of usage data before recommending system capacity, a theme that surfaces in stories of battery storage additions and extra panels.

The finish itself earns praise, with installations called neat, tidy and performing as expected, and sites left spotless after EV charger fits and new circuits run for a spa. Reviewers also point to sensible pricing, punctuality and a willingness to handle awkward logistics, such as cabling beneath a dwelling and up through a concrete slab.

Repeat custom runs through many accounts, with people returning for second or third jobs, among them a hot water system replacement handled at short notice. Melanie is named for her booking support and Zac for the works themselves. Clear explanations of how a system operates, sizing advice delivered without pressure, and an easy manner around a busy household and other trades all feature. The team is described as friendly, transparent and competent.

This is the third job Kevin and the team at Solstra have done for me. I called the team on Thursday needing an emergency hot water system installation, and Solstra turned up Monday morning and completed the entire job!! Wow — thank you so much, guys. 100% recommended, and I’d give 6 stars if I could ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I don't give feedback as a general rule but for Solstra I am impressed with the personable nature and quality of work that I am happy to do so. I have also engaged them a second time for another property, that should say it all really.

Our Solar System needed a service. The business that installed it let me down. So I turned to Solstra. From the booking process (via email with Melanie) to the day of the works (with Zac) I was impressed with the customer service and professionalism.

I contacted Kevin at Solstra to enquire about upgrading my existing system to include battery storage. Kevin took time to review my usage data over a year and then sent me a quote designed to suit my situation. I went ahead with this in February 2026 and the installation of more panels and a battery was done very professionally. The Solstra team who installed the system were terrific, advising me through the process about what was happening and the followup from Solstra has been excellent. I recommend contacting Solstra to see if they have a solution for you.

Solstra provided great advice and price for installing solar panels, battery and hot water system for our home. They turned up when they said they would, delivered and installed the system within 2 days as promised with minimal disruption. I have recommended them to my friends as a good quality installer to get quotations from.
