Michael Ryan6 August 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Like many, I did a fair bit of research before selecting HCB Solar (having had either no confidence or no satisfactory response from four previous companies). From my first phone call to the installation (yesterday) and to our first full day with the system, I have nothing but praise. From order to installatioin was only 2 weeks, the pre-installation inspection was excellent in providing both information and advice, the installers arrived on time, were courteous and efficient, gave a great run through of the system and how to monitor production and consumption and left the place clean and tidy. I would happily recommend them and would certainly use them again for future expansion of the system. ***** Now some years down the track I would still recommend them. We had one small part fail a few years ago. One phone call, no problem, fixed in a matter of days. I'm only sorry we didn't install a battery at the same time as the panels! Shane L5 August 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional solar business. Did a lot of online research & reading reviews before deciding on HCB.
