A fantastic team! They're very knowledgeable and efficient. We love our off-the-grid solar system. It was installed within a day by a professional team. We're glad we chose a local business that provides expertise, reliable service and support when needed. We totally recommend the awesome team at E Solar!

E-Solar upgraded our panels on our off-grid system. Guys were in and out in 4 hours and the panels look great! We've doubled our capacity with the upgrade and our battery bank is vey happy about it.

Super professional team of developers & installers. We assume it is hard to find a better solar installer in the Tasman region. The installation is quick, clean, super professional and with an eye for every detail!

My wife and I were very comfortable with e-solar right from our first point of contact. We obtained various quotes some months previously but were unimpressed with the responsiveness of the vendors we had approached. We approached e-solar after a recommendation from a friend of a friend. Sean visited us within days of our initial contact. I had previously analysed our data and so we knew pretty much what we wanted in terms of sizing. Sean was very good at explaining the technical aspects of our options and he prepared a detailed quote within days. Within the week we had accepted the quote, paid the deposit and the major components were ordered. The installation occurred on the scheduled date. The implementation team were very efficient and skilled and obviously enjoyed each other’s companionship as friends as well as colleagues. They all had a role, and set to their dedicated tasks (roofing, wiring, switchboard) independently. The installation was as inconspicuous as possible with the wiring conduit hidden behind downpipes or within walls where feasible. The system went live on 28th of May during a period of very wet weather, so we are very impressed with the fact that the only electricity we are had to buy since ‘go live’ is night rate power. We are eagerly looking forward to sunnier periods and the real benefits. We would unreservedly recommend Lance and his team at e-solar.

E Solar installed my system 16 months ago in December 2023. I had detailed electricity consumption data dating back several years and provided this to E solar at the time they quoted. Their project ion was that I would save around $1800 per annum reducing my annual bill from $2,400 to $600. At the completion of 12 months I actually had a credit of $227. My actual consumption dropped due to usage changes and after 16 months my credit is still growing. The system has proven 100% reliable to date. I am happy to recommend E Solar based on these results.
