We were extremely impressed with Coffs Solar. They assisted us through many hurdles we had with our energy provider prior to our install. The install team were amazing and managed not to damage one of our roof tiles. We couldn't recommend Coffs Solar enough. Thank you

I’ve just had Solar installed with Coffs Solar Energy and I’ve found the whole process fantastic. Rhys Rigby with whom I first spoke subsequently visited my house. He explained everything to me in a really easy to understand manner. He knows his stuff. And the team who came and did the actual installation were also just great. They were prompt and efficient as was Rhys. I highly recommend them. Marvellous

Just had 10 additional panels & a battery installed. Cody & the installers did an excellent job. The office staff were very helpful. Mark should be very proud of his team, I would highly recommend them. 👍 I now have had the unit for a month & have not taken any power from the grid. The battery quickly charges in the morning so we run the house all night. Brilliant.

We chose Coffs Solar primarily because they were local, the reviews were unwaveringly positive and because the MD chose to deal with us personally...we did not regret it.Our dealings with Coffs Solar Energy via the Managing Director Mr. Mark McClurg were always professional and pleasant. Mark made the choice easy for us, he made the process easy for us. He answered every email, phone call and contact promptly. His timelines were deadly, always....if there was to be a delay his ultra-efficient delightful PA, Suzanne would reach out to us with the relevant message. Mark and his team made the paperwork a breeze. If the information was not available, it was researched and delivered to us, quickly. The installation was frighteningly quick. The team led by the head solar electrician Chris, arrived promptly at the appointed hour and we had solar by 1400hrs. Nick the IT Guru, was another pleasant experience.....he arrived a few days later and connected us to the web with a remarkable app to monitor the performance of the Inverter. A word about the hardware...do not skimp on the inverter...get the "Fronius". Thank you Mark, Suzanne, Nick, Adam, Chris, Karen and the rest of the team. More grateful, happy customers.24/08/2023Following from the above my spouse and I "hummed and hawed" whether to add a Solar Battery to our 4.5KVA panels. The main problem was the initial cost. The increase in power rates on the 1st July, 2023 made our decision a bit easier. We had to sacrifice some capital to preserve our income. CSE through Mark McClurg put together a comprehensive five -option package which we studied carefully and gave approval. The team arrived one morning and added another eight panels on our roof and were gone by 10:30am....far out. A couple of weeks later another team arrives and installs the battery. Same deal...in by 08:00 out by 11:00. The whole process was seamless...the feedback from the office and Mr. McClurg was always available. We found the workmanship superb. We now have a tool to fight the power companies. The Sungrow Battery is at 100% capacity by 09:30 provided the sun is out. Our power use ranges from .1kw to .3kw...hard to beat that. We recommend Coffs Solar Energy and their team unreservedly, we found them totally professional and a high degree of integrity. Thank you Mark and the team for a wonderful experience.

Coffs Solar was extremely helpful, communicative and informative throughout the entire process of quoting, installing and after sales advice and service. Any questions were answered promptly and the product was installed efficiently and professionally. I used another widely advertised company for our solar system in Tamworth and the service provided does not even go close to the professional team at Coffs Solar.

From start to finish, Coffs Solar Energy were entirely professional, friendly knowledgeable and efficient. It only took a little over a day to have it all installed and immediately we were producing and contributing to the grid and reducing our demand on the coal burners. We would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of installing solar.

We had another (foolishly) local Solar company install our system in September and it never ran correctly from the day of installation (it only generated half the kw that the other company guaranteed we would generate). We contacted Coffs Solar to look into the fault and the service from the Coffs Solar team in both diagnosing the issue, providing remote technical support and then promptly sending a technician out to solve the problem all within a few days. We now have a fully functional solar system thanks to Mark and the team at Coffs Solar. Thank you.

When you want the best in quality, professional installation and importantly SERVICE, there is only 1 company that is worth dealing with, COFFS SOLAR ENERGY. It has been a couple of months now and I can honestly say everything that Mark proposed that the new system would deliver, it has and more. Installation team were on time, precise, and very professional. Back up service and communication was outstanding and the performance has been better than expected. It is comforting knowing that our electricity bills are now a thing of the past.Thanks Mark and your team of professionals, in and out of the office. Absolutely Bloody Brilliant.!!
