Excellent experience with Think Renewables

Had en excellent experience with Think Renewable installing our solar panels. Alex H was very knowledgeable about solar and the things we needed to consider for our installation. The proof for this experience came when NSW state regulator sent an independent inspector for reviewing our installation and gave the install 5 stars! They are not the cheapest option going around, but as they say, you get what you pay for, and in our case, that was a premium install experience.

STAY AWAY from this company

STAY AWAY from this company. I've never done business with a more dodgy company than this one. First, they increased their prices because they "couldn't get their rebates from the energy scheme". Second, the installer failed to install the battery correctly. Thirdly, two months later, after escalating to NSW Fair Trading and the Building Commission, they send THE SAME INSTALLER around to fix it. He fixed one aspect of the battery and has left the rest to fail. I'm using DOUBLE the amount of electricity I was before and am not getting any resolution from this company. I'm going to have to employ a third party electrician and recover costs through small claims courts. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO THIS!

If you're contemplating using this company, just know how terrible the experience is and be warned, they will not act on a warranty claim, their complaints and escalation procedures are not followed by their employees and they have no quality assurance processes on the electrical installation.

As at the date of this review, I'm still getting errors and the installation is not correct.

Hi Simon,

We completely understand how frustrating and disappointing this has been, especially when you’ve invested in a system that isn’t performing as it should, and we are truly sorry you’ve had this experience.

Please know that we take full responsibility for ensuring your system works properly and meets your expectations. As you know, we have been in ongoing contact and are actively working with sonnen and our electricians to resolve the remaining issues. We acknowledge this process has taken longer than expected, but we remain fully committed to seeing everything through to your satisfaction.

Your feedback is incredibly important, and we’re determined to make this right. Our team will continue to work closely with you until your system is fully operational and you’re getting the benefits you were promised.

We also hope to earn back your confidence. Once everything is rectified, I’d also like to propose a follow-up conversation to ensure you’re satisfied with the outcome and to discuss any further goodwill gestures we can offer to reaffirm our commitment to customer care.

Thank you again for your patience,

Danielle Orlando
General Manager

One of the company's customers

One of the company's customer service consultants Christopher provided outstanding service today (!!) and hence the reason for my review. A few weeks ago after an electrical storm I noticed there was an issue with my router. After replacing the router the connection between the solarman smart app and the internet was lost, which meant that I was unable to view the stats regarding my plant. For some reason I thought to contact the supplier initially which was a waste of time. The problem continued for two weeks with only two emails sent, offering no help at all. I then contacted Think renewable and within 20 minutes a huge and informative email was sent. It took a further 10 minutes for me to read, understand and implement the steps within the email and the problem was solved. This company not only provides a convenient sales solution, but excellent customer service as well. Thank you very much 👍😁

Enormous bill relief.

Alex H came to our home and explained how the solar system works and talked us through the design process. Once we signed up it was only a month before our system was up and running. We have just received our first bill (with the billing period fully post installation) and our charges are a quarter of what they were previously. After the government subsidy the bill was only $81. We estimate the system will pay for itself in just 4 years.

Alex H and Think Renewable

Alex H was fantastic to deal with from first visit .He was more than happy to answer any questions or doubts we had. We were dealing with another company as well but in the end Alex was the reason we went with Think Renewable.
Unfortunately that's where it ended. The installer put the inverter directly above the sungrow battery(which i got specifically to be able to increase capacity in the future if needed by stacking another unit on top) to which i was told, by Alex, we will move it for free if you ever want to add another battery module (dont like my chances of that happening). The installer also forgot to put in our hot water timer, which I didn't realise until after I payed the final invoice.
Took 3 attempts for them to actually come back out to do it (not us but just not showing up even though they asked us to wait at home for him).
Once it was installed my main inverter circuit breaker kept tripping and could not get any help. Was told by Alex to contact him if i had any problems so i did and got a reply saying that he had a family issues and work was the least of his worries but he would pass on my details to his manager. Still haven't heard anything to this day, being nearly over a month later ,from anyone. (Alex messaged 3 weeks after to ask how i went but never got a reply after that) ended up having to get my own electrician to come out the day before Christmas, he found that the cheap circuit breaker(rated at 50amp) that they installed was getting too hot next to the hot water timer they also installed causing it to trip(at only 40amp).
I really was hoping it would be different but as usual once they get your money they really don't care. I have actually had the other company that I didn't go with contact me more times to get my feedback and ask how they could improve and also answer some questions I had about my system and to give them a call in the future if I need any help.
Think Renewable say they have a 10year workmanship warranty and they will deal with your product warranties for the first 10 years also, but when I can't even get them to fix a small problem I'm really hoping I never have a major issue. I have tried contacting them via multiple different email addresses and have called the number and left a messages with no luck.

It was great meeting Cameron

It was great meeting Cameron his knowledge of Think Renewable solar products and services helped make the decision to install very easy. The no deposit finance was also great for anyone struggling financially that can’t afford to spend the high amounts to have a solar system installed. So far I’ve been keeping track of my energy provider app and currently the estimated usage and cost is very low. Hopefully as time goes on and with the functioning of the system I can maintain at this rate.

Cameron and the team were fantastic!

Dealing with Cameron during the initial phases and the lead up to install was a great experience. Happy to respond to text message queries and always quick on the response. Unlike some other places vying for my signature, Cameron never pushed and even offered advice on how to deal with the other, pushy vendors.

The local install team were friendly and explained fully what was going on and how things were progressing. The process was quicker than expected which was a bonus!

I will definitely recommend the entire team to others without hesitation.

With your Risen panels and Hinen battery you'll be shrinking those bills and reducing your reliance on the grid. Joining a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) was a great move to be able to sell your excess energy back at premium price! We'd love to hear about your results so far.

Alex from Think awesome

Alex the rep was so easy to deal with.
He explained the whole process and broke it down it “ layman’s “ terms making it so much easier.
My system was installed in a few hours in January and has been humming along ever since. Since spring my system is actually making money with power back to the grid.
Highly recommend Alex to deal with and Think as a company.
