Solar Power Nation Reviews 44

They installed solar at my place in 2019. They gave me 10 year warranty on Inverter but after 7 years they refused to fix inverter. Don't use them. I heard they are under external administration.

DO NOT GO WITH THESE CLOWNS!!!! They are an absolute joke!!! We sorted out a quote for a battery for our solar set up, paid the deposit and they just stuffed us around for a month! They never planned on making the effort to complete the job they’re clearly lazy and very incompetent. Please don’t waste your money on these idiots. Go elsewhere

Beware and protect yourself from this company.

I recently experienced issues with my solar system and received no support or warranty assistance from this company. Despite multiple attempts, they made no effort to rectify the problem.

I initially tried raising the matter with the NETCC / Clean Energy Council, only to discover that the company is not an approved seller.

I then lodged a formal complaint with NSW Fair Trading. Following their investigation, I was advised that Solar Power Nation is under external administration, and as a result, Fair Trading is unable to pursue the matter further.
The appointed administrators were:

David Ingram and David Ross – I & R Advisory

I contacted I & R Advisory, who confirmed that the company is being liquidated. They also clarified that:

Solar Power Nation is a business name
The legal entity is CSS & S Pty Ltd

They further advised that prior to their appointment, various assets of the business (including the business name, domain name, phone numbers, plant, and equipment) were sold to another entity. This explains why the name “Solar Power Nation” and their website/phone numbers may still appear operational in the public domain.

Finally, I was informed that:
The liquidation was finalised on 31 March 2026
No dividend was paid to any creditors
ASIC has been notified of the liquidation finalisation (correspondence attached)

Please be extremely cautious and do your due diligence before engaging with any company operating under this name

I didn't want to leave a bad review, but had no choice. I signed up to a solar PV and battery package in Dec 2025 (and paid the deposit) and was promised an installation mid-January. It is now end of March and there is still radio silence on installation dates. I have been calling almost daily and all I get is that the operator can only take a message and they will escalate it. No one has called me back on installation dates. I am getting worried as 1 May is fast approaching (and with it a reduction in the subsidies for larger battery systems). Very bad service.

The worst experience with a service company ever. Signed up for battery and panels in November. They said 4-6 weeks. 20 weeks later after dozens of calls I have nothing. I have als missed the battery rebate as a result. Worst company I have ever dealt with

Paid for batteries and they were not installed and no refund. They do not return calls. Terrible service. Have to now spend more to take legal action to get refund.

Avoid at all costs. Bunch of unreliable and unprofessional team and close to being scammers. Cheaper but definitely not worth the fake savings. You will pay more in the end with frustration, poor or bad job and bad service (before and after installation). Been waiting for over 3 months and still no installation. They keep cancelling the job and never informing me until I call. I took so many days off on their promised installation dates but in the end, nothing ever happened. 4 cancellations... Also charged my credit card without my authorisation. After so many blunders and hours spent on the phone to like 7 different people who do not communicate amongst themselves and give empty promises, I want to pull out of this misery. But they won't answer my calls anymore and won't pay me back my deposit. Ah also, most of their staff are rude and just want your cash. You might be the lucky few that get an okay job but the rest of the us (majority), can relate to what i say here. Go read actual reviews on Solar Choice website which shows an unbiased take on them. Most of the 5 star reviews here are actually done by Solar Power Nation on behalf of the customers - so they are unreliable.

I am sharing my experience with you because I want others to make an informed decision before using Solar Power Nation for there solar battery installs. The sales process was awkward but in the end straightforward and payment was taken promptly. However, after installation of my 20kW battery system in November 2025, significant issues emerged. My electricity bills increased from approximately $250 to over $600, and the inverter was consistently reporting household consumption at around 6kW — a figure that was clearly inconsistent with our actual usage.
Despite raising these concerns multiple times, I received repeated generic responses advising the matter was being looked into due to its “complex nature,” with no meaningful progress for weeks.
The installation was later inspected by Western Power and failed compliance. Only after that corrective notice was issued did installers attend to address the issues. During that visit, adjustments were made and the system was reset. Immediately after the reset, the reported household consumption dropped from around 6kW to approximately 640 watts, strongly indicating the system had not been correctly configured or commissioned prior to that point.
Based on the sequence of events, it appears the system was not operating correctly from the outset, which may have contributed to the significantly higher electricity costs.
I am now formally pursuing reimbursement for the additional electricity charges incurred while the system was operating incorrectly.
This is simply my documented experience. I would encourage anyone considering this company to carefully review all documentation, monitor system performance closely, and ensure compliance inspections are completed and passed if you use Solar Power Nation as your supplier.

Installed 6.6kw system in 2021, very quick to install and take money. No issues until the inverter failed mid 2025, Growatt, with a 10 year warrenty. Have been trying to get repairs but get a standard email "This is to inform you that we are in contact with our team regarding your request. Kindly wait while we look into the matter — we will provide you with an update soon. We truly appreciate your patience" the contractors have been from sick to overseas and all sorts of excuses but no interest in helping. Been trying since 07/25 till 02/26 and now contacted the office of fair trading

Absolutely unacceptable experience with National Solar.
I paid my deposit after being promised my solar system would be installed within the first month. It has now been 2 months and I still have no confirmed installation date, no clear communication at all, and no accountability from this company.
I have made repeated attempts to contact them for updates. Every time I am told someone will call me back the same day or that my issue will be “actioned” and it never happens. I have spent weeks chasing basic information that should have been provided without me having to constantly follow up.
Taking a customer’s deposit and then failing to communicate or deliver within the promised timeframe is extremely unprofessional and has completely destroyed my confidence in this company.
I guess just add this unsatisfied google review with the rest of them wish I looked this up before paying deposit
Very disappointed!

Put down a $300 deposit 27th December 2025 with the understanding I was able to cancel if is not what I require with some more research, told this fine.
Emailed 6th January 2026 to cancel and ask if they required my bank details, no answer, called 2 times and told message would be sent to accounts team and I would hear back, no communication at all. Sent 2 more emails regarding cancellation and refund, still no response.
I contacted QLD Consumer Complaints, this is a good start but might take a long time.
Solution was to lodge a dispute with my credit card company 14th January and by the 27th January company had returned my deposit. Keep a record of all communications as you will need this for your card provider disputes process. Solar Power Nation had done the refund on their own accord but after my card provider had contacted them. I then informed My card provider so they did not keep following up, hopefully this may be helpful to any others trying to get a refund etc.... I recommend DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY, no communication if there is an issue from my experience.

Absolute JOKE!

They Take your deposit then disapear. Harry from SA and solar power nation should be ashamed as a business.
Im in South Australia and they are not ever LEGALLY allowed to operate here

SPN took my $500 deposit then stopped returning calls and emails this went on from 07/25 to 01/26.
I contacted the OFFICE OF FAIR TRADING and they got me my $500 back in 2 weeks after i had been trying for 6 months.The person who got my $500 back was Dianne Cassillis.

I strongly advise potential clients to proceed with caution before engaging with this company. Despite initial assurances that previous negative reviews were outdated or resolved, my experience has unfortunately confirmed those concerns. I have currently been waiting for five months with no resolution and no clear explanation for the delay. The communication has been unreliable, and the promises made during the initial consultation have not been met. Based on the lack of support and the discrepancy between their sales pitch and actual service, I cannot recommend their services.

Installation went ok, except they tried to charge me twice.
After sales service is apalling. My solar stopped working after 3 years. I’ve been chasing them up for the last 3 months and they keep saying there is no technicians in the area. I got a quote for a local person to fix the problem and sent them the quote. It’s been over a month and after many phone calls and emails have heard nothing.

⚠️⚠️⚠️ WARNING WARNING ⚠️⚠️⚠️
READ THIS CAREFULLY:
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND STAYING AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY, THEY DAMAGED MY ROOF WATER PIPES AND CAUSED ALL MY CIELLING GYPROCK TO BECOME WET AND GROW MOULD, THEN THEN INSTALLED BATTERY AND DAMAGED MY SURVIELLANCE CAMERA AND EXTERNAL WALL BRICK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WALL. THEY REFUSED TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND KEPT ASKING FOR EVIDENCE. WHEN I SENT EVIDENCE THEY ASKED FOR OTHER EVIDENCE BECAUSE THEY PRETENDED THEY DIDNT DO ANY DAMAGED. WHEN THEYRE CALLED THEY KEPT TRANSFERRING ME FROM ONE PERSON TO ANOTHER AND LIE ABOUT THE RESOLUTIONS TEAM IS NOT AVAILABLE. THEY ARE PROFESSIONAL LIARS AND DECIEVERS, THEY WILL USE DECIEVING TECHNIQUES TO SELL YOU THEIR PRODUCTS THEN NEVER CARE ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS YOU HAVE WITH THE PRODUCTS. THEY ARE PROFESSIONAL LIARS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO STAY AWAY FROM THEM. THEYRE SCAMMERS

Absolute scam!! Paid $500 deposit on the 4th of August 2025. By the end of September there was no progress and the company said I would get a refund. It is now December 10 and I have no refund. The company will not reply to my emails and will hang up the phone when I call. I’ve now had to go to consumer protection to assist in retrieving my funds back. Beyond a joke how a company like this can be operational.

Took my money for a solar panel and battery install they promissed to install in 4-6 weeks been 3 months now and still nothing now they saying january will be 4 months wait for a simple install most pathetic company around never again

Scam alert! They took my deposit for a battery system and, soon after receiving the money, they stopped answering my calls and responding to my emails. They used to call me using a Sydney number, but their callers are definitely overseas-based. I should have picked up on that warning sign. My money is gone, and I don’t want anyone else falling into this trap. I’ll be reporting this to the ACCC and state consumer protection authorities.

If you value honesty, reliability, and communication, I urge you to stay far away from this company.

Their team initially confirmed an installation date weeks ago. No one showed, not even a call to let us know that they weren't coming. Since then, I have been misled on every occasion, repeatedly assured they would follow up, only to be left hanging every time. About 19 emails and phone calls—often ignored or met with inaccurate promises of calling back and even hang-ups It’s impossible to get anyone to respond.

This is not just a scheduling issue. This is a company that disregards its own customers and basic service commitments. If this is how they treat customers before the job is even started, I can only imagine the nightmare if anything ever goes wrong with the install or system.

Do yourself a favour and find another provider that actually values your time, communication, and trust. I wish I had known—don’t make the same mistake I did.
