Service beyond expectations.

Most pleased with the whole process. Edward arrived promptly and gave everything that was needed to make the appropriate decision. He could have sold us a bigger system but chose to give us what was really necessary. He also ensured prompt installation and the use of the internal team. The installation team was on time, extremely efficient and all members were very pleasant. They worked non-stop and kept us totally informed of each step in the process. In total the whole experience was effective, efficient and pleasing, all starting with the excellence of Edward Collins.

Great Service

Alex Harrison was great to deal with, explained everything very clearly, was very knowledgeable and responsive to any further questions we had. We just had our install completed by Riley who was very professional and tweaked the layout to improve the amount of north facing panels. Very happy with the service.

Think Renewable... think professional.

I had been looking at adding solar to my house, but was not overly confident in the companies I was speaking with.
So when a nice representative for a company called Think Renewable came to my door, i was happy to listen to him. At the end, it was just a request to sit down with a member of the Think Renewable team to see what options might suit our location.

Enter Alex H who was the star of the shinning light who guided me through the various options that were customised specifically for my house and my surroundings.

Alex H discussed what Think Renewable could offer us. Alex was friendly, up front about what was being offered, very knowledgeable about the solar industry and above all, I found him honest.

We accepted one of the proposals that Alex developed even though I was keen to add a battery to the order, he was not prepared to offer a battery solution until there was enough useful data available to support the use of a battery. We decide on the SolarEdge system and so far, it is amazing...

After the sale, Alex was still accessible to assist me with any questions and to provide information on when the installation was to be performed.

If you are wanting to update or get into the solar world, I would recommend talking to Think Renewable. (ask for Alex H ;-) )

Solar savings and service!

From start to finish, it was such an amazing job by Alex H and the install crew. So happy with the solar installation and aftersales service provided by Think Renewable. The savings we have experienced so far are fantastic and certainly eased the strain our pool puts on our energy bills. Can't recommend them highly enough!

A Most Positive Experience

From first contact to completion of the installation our experience with Think Renewables has been entirely positive. Mark Metzger was our chief contact. He came to our premises within a few hours of being referred by a colleague. He was courteous, personable and very knowledgeable. His role was to do an initial assessment of our roof and draft a plan accordingly, explain the different sized systems and provide quotes. By the time he left, we had a draft contract for a 13.28Kw, 32 panel array to consider.

Mark continued to contact me regularly to check on progress and was available to answer any queries I had.

I signed the contract the following day and the instal team, led by Steven, were on the roof two and a half weeks later. The job was done in under 24 hours. Steven discussed everything relevant with us before proceeding, particularly placement of the inverters. He did a professional and very neat job of fitting them and all the necessary cabling, conduit and the rewiring of the meter box. Not a skerrick of packaging, off-cuts or other waste was left behind.

The back office team at Think were also very helpful. Maxine Coleman, Deborah Bridson, Kate Consigna and Christopher Consigna were all very professional, polite and, importantly, very prompt with their communications. It was they who prepared all the paperwork needed to get approval for our connection to the grid etc, making the whole process hassle and stress free. All up a very competent team.

Wholly positive and enjoyable process

I had an appointment with Alex H to discuss what Think Renewable could offer us. Alex was friendly, up front about what he was offering, and was astutely knowledgeable about the rooftop solar industry. He took the time to understand what I was hoping to achieve, developed three proposals, and then left them with me to give me time to consider the details and discuss them with my wife.

We decided to go ahead with one of the proposals that Alex developed. Even after the sale had closed Alex was quick to respond to any questions or updates I had, and let me know when I would be hearing from other team members from Think Renewable.

What a mess

We were promised gold-star treatment, one-on-one support and personalised service from Edward the salesperson. But the minute we paid the deposit Think Renewable lost interest.

We had 9 visits over a period of 7 weeks and dealt with 6 different people for this one job of installing solar and battery. We had to navigate everything and everyone ourselves. Think Renewable were absent from the start.

On the first day, Chris, the assessor arrived 4 hours late and Think Renewable’s contact, Maxine, said he had a prior appointment to our 7am booking (which Chris debunked). From then on it was a mess. It took 3 months to install, with excuses from Think Renewable all the way. We had to do all the facilitation and coordination of the installers ourselves. Eventually we had them all on speed-dial, whenever there was a fault in the equipment, which happened on numerous occasions. When we made a formal complaint according to their guidelines, we were given the Team Lead Manager, Harpreet, who was even worse than Maxine. She offered us $250 in compensation and continued to evade our questions when the battery was faulty. When the installers did not pitch for the installation of a new battery, Harpreet was uncontactable and then emailed an excuse that the installers didn’t let her know in time. We were then told that we would get an upgrade from Sofar to RedX as compensation – why didn’t we get the better battery in the first place? No-one explained the app to us, or gave us a rundown on how the system works. We had to figure it all our ourselves after having to coordinate the installers ourselves. And we still have no idea how to add it to our computer – we have had no aftersales service.

Think Renewable just want your money. They’re not interested in the rest.

Dear Thalia,

I want to take a moment to apologise for the difficulties you experienced during the install process. Your feedback is incredibly important to us, and we appreciate the opportunity to address any concerns you may have.

We want to start by apologising for any inconsistencies you experienced regarding the arrival times and rescheduling from our team. While we made it clear that your case was urgent, there were certain factors that were beyond our control.

We want to assure you that the reason for multiple people dealing with your case is because we have specialists across different issues, and we work diligently to resolve any challenges. We understand that communication is key, which is why we made sure to stay in constant communication with you via email, as you informed us that you were unable to answer during the day due to your work schedule. Our priority was to answer your questions, and we believe that explaining the issue over email chains was the best way to accomplish that.

We also want to emphasise that we value your time and appreciate your patience throughout the whole process. As a gesture of goodwill, we reimbursed you more the $250, as we understand how frustrating this experience was for you.

At Think Renewable, we are committed to providing excellent service to all of our customers. Your feedback has allowed us to learn and grow as a company, and we will continue to strive for excellence in all aspects of our business.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to address your concerns.

Good business ethics

I am pleased to have used this company to install solar panels at my home. Right from the start I have been kept informed and had my concerns addressed promptly and with great patience. As a senior member in the community I don't have the skills and knowledge of modern technology but Ollie has listened and helped me immensely. More recently head office staff have reinforced that support. I thank you all

My wife ordered a quote

My wife ordered a quote. Never going to happen. But Pat came and when we mentioned my wife’s CPAP machine was mentioned he said that we could get a battery - at a very good price. No dying in the night because of a blackout.

We get them about once a year.

Well we got the battery, inverter and solar cells. Really quite pretty. Yeah I wouldn’t believe it either but it’s so.

And we’ve been waiting, fully installed but unable to turn it on, because we don’t have a “smart” meter.

A fortnight now and the only person giving us any information is Pat.

Think renewable will definitely get it done at a good price.

Five stars from me. Zero stars to our electricity provider.

Alex Harrison was very informative knew all the answers to the questions that we had, easy to talk to, well presented, on time and knew his stuff

The guys that installed the system were on time even with rain threating, they worked fast to get it done before it did rain! they had to stop a few times because of rain but they were great making sure that the roof was not affected from water where they were working. The System looks great, and the guys left no mess whatso ever, very neat and tidy! We were impressed

1st June Over all opinion

1st June - Well from the beginning the Sales rep seemed knowledgeable and informed, we agreed and purchased the product sold with originally 31 panels with 12.86kw. When the installer arrived without prior notice we were advised that they could only fit 19 on the roof space, we then offered our awning area that is not ideal but would give us the panels required, these are laying dead flat, which is a concern also but advised it will not affect the productivity. Then the inverter sent we needed to loose another panel, and they also had to cover the stink holes.
Again there was no communication about when they would be back an often turned up unannounced.
Received minimal compensation for loosing the 1 panel and the constantly having to return to fix things. They also did a very poor job on the installation when we had to fix the outside eaves where the wiring had been fitted., then the WiFi would not connect even through the Sales rep checked all this out knowing where our Hub was. We refused to purchase an extender which the company did do finally.
Overall - Sales rep needs to know the product better.
Installers need to turn up when they say not hours early and if late communicate.
We have had NO further contact after installation that was promised by the sales rep - about getting the best energy company once we have solar, the buy back to the grid which we ARE NOT PRODUCING as promised..
Think there are much better companies out there that deliver on the promise sold.
We have also not had any after service or follow up, which is not surprising as the process was such a stuff up.

Hello Kerry,

I want to express my sincerest apologies for the challenges you faced throughout the process. Your feedback is crucial to us, and we appreciate the opportunity to address the concerns you raised.

I am truly sorry to hear about the inconsistencies in the service you feel you have received, from the initial sales pitch to the installation of the solar panels. It's disheartening to learn that the communication and coordination fell short of your expectations, and I want to assure you that we take your feedback seriously and are implementing new methods to live up to the standards that are sold.

I understand your frustration regarding the discrepancy between the initial recommended number of panels and what was installed, however upon later inspection we discovered a more optimal array for your panels. We acknowledge that this was not communicated effectively, and we understand the impact it had on your overall experience. We would like to mention that the alternative option was the most efficient and although there were a large amount of extras added in, this was not charged on to your account due to the fact that you were not told they were necessary until the installation team got there.
We recognise the importance of adhering to our commitments and the inconvenience caused by the early arrivals. We are taking immediate steps to improve our communication and scheduling processes to better accommodate our customers' timeframes.

We genuinely value your feedback and are committed to learning from this experience to enhance our service for all our customers. We appreciate your patience and hope to regain your trust by extending comprehensive support to any questions or concerns that may arise.

Best,

Danielle Orlando
General Manager
