EXCELLENT Based on 169 reviews Eric Batten14 August 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional installation and service. Ongoing monitoring discovered a fault with two optimizers which were replaced under warranty. HCB always answer the phone promptly and are available to address any concerns without fuss. A fantastic local business in the Hunter. Gregory Grabham12 August 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. the sales service was great and the installation was on the date they said and good service. 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. Glad I did as it has been a no hassle process, before, during and after the installation. I highly recommend them to anyone looking at installing solar.

FAQs
Yes, it is possible to expand your solar system in the future. If you need more power and have space on your roof, you can add additional panels or batteries. However, it’s important to ensure your inverter solution such as Enphase or Solaredge technology as well as the modular battery can support the extra capacity.
Standard solar systems do not work during a blackout unless they are paired with a solar battery and a backup inverter. Solar systems with batteries can provide backup power during an outage, enabling you to use stored energy when the grid goes down.
If your system generates more power than you can use or store, the excess energy can be exported to the grid, and you may receive a feed-in tariff (FIT) for it. Alternatively, you can store more energy with a larger battery system for future use , or divert the soalr into your electric hot water system, your pool or use it for EV charging.
Yes, with the right size solar system and battery model, you can go off-grid. Off-grid systems rely on solar panels for energy generation, and batteries store excess power for use at night or during cloudy weather. However, off-grid living requires careful planning and system sizing, as you literally have to live within you means – energy wise. So your comfort depends on your energy needs, location, and solar system size and battery capacity. Also a good auto- start generator is advisable.
The ROI for quality solar systems in Australia typically ranges from 4-5 years, depending on factors like system size, energy usage, and state-based incentives. Commercial solar systems sized correctly can achieve an ROI of close to 3 years in Australia’s north, where sun intensity output is high. When a battery gets added and one has an EV, then 7 to 8 years ROI are possible. A VPP arrangement then can reduce this time frame further. Generally, you can expect significant savings on energy bills, with long-term benefits lasting 25 years or more.
