Customer Testimonials
We had regular check-ins from the support team even months after installation. That level of service makes a difference. Our bills have been cut by about 60%.
Sam’s engineering background shows in how precise and efficient the design was. The team made sure our 200kW ground-mount system could expand in future if we increase production.
Solution with Sam was recommended by a neighbouring farm. They proved why – professional, knowledgeable, and honest pricing. We’re already saving thousands per quarter.
Our 100kW system with battery storage was installed in December 2023. The crew finished before Christmas so we could start the new year with lower bills. Post-sales support has been fantastic.
After getting quotes from four companies, we chose Solution with Sam because they spoke our language – straightforward and practical. Sam kept checking in after installation to ensure everything worked smoothly.
We had a complex roof layout and Sam’s engineer made a custom design that maximised space and sun exposure. The installation team was punctual and kept the site clean throughout. Highly recommend them for any commercial farm.
The Solution with Sam team was down-to-earth and easy to work with. They explained the ROI clearly, helped us get Smart Ease finance, and installed a solid 50kW system that’s been running perfectly for over a year.
Sam’s team treated our 200kW project like their own. They completed it ahead of schedule despite the rain and unreliable grid power in our region. Follow-up support has been excellent – every question answered promptly.
Our 150kW system was a big investment, but Solution with Sam handled it professionally from start to finish. Sam’s engineering team tuned the design for maximum output, and they even helped with battery integration later. We’ve had no issues since installation.
