I had SunWorks Solar install solar for me in January 2019. At the time of investigating solar I had quite a few different organisations visit and inspect my property to give me their sales pitch. Some didn’t know what they were selling me, some I’m still waiting for a quote from. However Mike was totally different. It was obvious that he knew what he was talking about and not the to just get a sale. I felt completely confident in the information and products on offer. Mike’s knowledge was also spot on regarding the process and timeline for preparing for the feedback to the grid. Upon installation, I felt equally as confident in SunWorks install team led by Pete. Given the time which has passed since my install, I can confirm that the after sales service is just as good. How many services do you know follow up to see how everything is going months after installation. I can also say my neighbour, colleague from work and brother have also had their solar installed by SunWorks and are just as happy. Well done SunWorks, highly recommend!
