Solar power installation in Rutherford by Solahart Newcastle
Good advice and information provided by the Sales Consultant who did the initial site visit and quote. Certainly no pressure to accept the quote on the spot and they didn’t push for a larger system than needed to be installed. Install team were great, and took the time to explain the system, apps and process to me prior to leaving. They also kept me informed when changes needed to be made to the install layout and made sure I was happy with the changes. The Solahart team also take care of everything with the electricity supplier, making the process painless.

I had 14 solar panels installed by Solarhart Newcastle mid 2022. From the first contact with them the whole process was seamless. Liam has wonderful customer service skills and couldn’t do enough for me. He explained the panels, inverter and install process simply and informatively. I have an App to monitor my usage and what is generated daily. The App also monitors each panel for any issues. I would 100% recommend Solarhart Newcastle.

We are very happy we went with Solahart. The salesman, office staff and tradesman are very friendly and professional and know everything about their product which made the whole process very easy. Once the system we needed was finalized they were very quick with the insulation and did a very neat job. We have had remarks from some of the neighbors in our street how great the panels on the roof look. All of that plus a great quote and payment system is why we went with Solahart. Highly recommend!

We were extremely happy with our service and products from Solahart. The installation team were great. The new Solar Hot Water System is wonderful. We have just had the smart meter installed for the Solar Panels, so we are expecting our next electricity bill to show a solid decrease. The panels look really good.

Solar power installation in Rutherford by Solahart Newcastle
Great service, though the demand for their services meant a slight delay before installation could take place. Efficient and effective specialist crews enabled a quick installation of our switchboard and meter upgrade required to install the new solar panels and new solar hot water, despite site conditions requiring a redesign of the original planned layout. The cooperation in organising the financing and all the little supply and administration details was awesome. A pleasure to deal with.Looking forward to saving money on my power bill and planning a future upgrade of our system with more panels when our finances allow.

Solar power installation in Rutherford by Solahart Newcastle
Initial action to instal solar panels was instigated by “ door knocker sales persons “ or as I call them “ fly bye nighters” . Upon deciding to install solar panels I called Solarhart as they are a local established industry that has been around for many years and will be for many years to come.Also I had a point of contact and office if required in future backup and further inquiries.Their salesman responded and was courteous ,informative and responsive. Arrangements were made to install my roof panels at a time to work in with my roofing maintenance that I had scheduled. The team of Solarhart industry and government accredited young local men did the install. I was very impressed with their electrical neatness and work ethic and panel installation. Their team work was first class and it was a pleasure to have them do the “job”. Installation of my panels was a hassle free experience and I could not be more satisfied. Thanks guys and girls.

Our experience from the very beginning with Solarhart / Liam was exceptional. Liam was extremely knowledgeable and never spoke poorly of other competitors. He was helpful throughout the process and nothing was ever a trouble. We were not currently occupying the property that we had the solar installed so a situation was a little more challenging however it all went exactly to plan. We highly recommend Solarhart and can not wait to start seeing the benefits of the system once we return to the property. A million thanks to Liam.

Save up to $2,330^ on a solar hot water upgrade with the NSW Energy Savings Scheme
(1) Solar water heaters and heat pumps are great for the environment, and the Australian Government Renewable Energy Target scheme provides a mechanism that offers a generous incentive to help you make the switch. The incentive comes in the form of Small-Scale Technology Certificates (STCs) that can be traded and sold on the open market or can be used as an upfront discount to reduce the purchase price of your new system. The number of certificates that can be created per system is based on its geographical location (zone) and varies with the type, size and model of the system installed. The value of an STC is not fixed and varies depending on market factors. Currently, each certificate is worth $36. (2) Like STCs, ESCs have a variable market value and are subject to change. Their value can also be used to offer a discount on the purchase of a solar or heat pump water heater. Currently, each certificate is worth $26. The ESCs are only available in NSW. (3) What is not covered under this program – The replacement of an electric water heater with a solar (gas boosted) water heater, as the NSW ESS does not incentivise new gas connections. – Installations of new solar water heaters or heat pump water heaters in new buildings or where there is no existing electric or gas hot water system. – The replacement of an existing solar water heater or heat pump water heater. – Any installation undertaken to comply with any mandatory legal requirement imposed through a statutory or regulatory instrument of any jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, compliance with BCA and BASIX-affected development requirements, except for alterations, enlargements or extensions of a BASIX-affected development and a water heater is being replaced. * Energy savings of up to 65% shown are based on Australian Government-approved TRNSYS simulation modelling of a Solahart 302L and using a medium load in Zone 3 and apply when replacing an electric water heater. Any savings will vary depending upon your location, type of Solahart system installed, orientation and inclination of the solar collectors, type of water heater being replaced, hot water consumption and fuel tariff. Maximum financial savings off your hot water bill are achievable when replacing an electric water heater on a continuous tariff.
