The business owners of SunWorks Solar, Mike and Pete, are hands on all the way through the process, from initial meetings, system designs and recommendations, through to installation and handover. Mike, Pete and their team really care about their work and we found them to have the best integrity. We found that their recommendations were totally designed to deliver a system that met our needs, property location & roofing orientation and to our budget. We spent hours and hours researching and getting quotes, 100% satisfied and so glad with the end result. Hughes thanks to Mike, Pete and their team.
From the initial contact, Mike’s communication was excellent. He spent approximately 30 minutes over the phone discussing options before sending a detailed quote with extensive product information attached. After making a decision, Mike was quick to make an appointment for assessment and the following week the solar system was installed. Pete and his crew were very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. I highly recommend The Sun Works as the company on the coast for solar advice and installation. I have complete confidence in The Sun Works delivering quality advice and workmanship in future.
