This is rthe second time I have had or with service from this company,, this time the safety switch keeps tripping and I rang them they emailed and phone conversation told me they would send someone out at 6am on Saturday the 21 oct well it is now 8-45 and I am still waiting. Please do not use this company go to a smaller company who will treat you as a person not a number to be ignored.

Very ordinary workmanship and disgraceful customer service - Horrible attitude towards customers. Everything I write here is factual, these events happened and we've paid the price for them. Our neighbour had an Arise system installed so he recommended Arise. After the enquiry and quote we had our system installed on the 17th of March 2023. I'm not a solar expert and I relied on Arise to perform the work in accordance with the installation manuals and guidelines. Towards the completion of the installation I asked the two remaining installers where the securing screw and Earth cable was but they didn't speak English so they couldn't engage in any discussions other than "Boss will be back." The supervisor Mark had already left the property. After the system was installed I inspected the job and found that the Growatt inverter was installed in direct sunlight, at a slight angle, didn't have the Earthing cable installed. The holes into the eaves were rough and was poorly drilled. The installers made a plan to install the Growatt inverter on the south side of the house away from all sunlight. See that photo below. Instead they installed the inverter on the north side of though house which exposed the inverter in direct sunlight for between 6 to 8 hours each day. Arise Solars response was that this was "industry standard" and if I wanted it moved to the south side of the house, it would cost an extra $450 + GST. It took 2 weeks of emails and me contacting NSW Fair Trading to finally get Arise Solar to move the inverter to a location where it isn't exposed to direct sunlight. HOWEVER, Arise Solar won't take any responsibility for the damage they've done in the original install. There are numerous holes and silicone all over the wall and two very large rough holes in the eaves of the roof where the cables went. Now, the second install of the inverter. The installer Mark told me he was coming up to inspect the inverter on a Saturday afternoon at 2:30pm. On arrival he had another person with him and they started moving the inverter. This was done very quickly and very roughly. They worked into the night and finally left at about 7:45pm. Mark had stated to me that he would be back to repair all the holes and damage they had done, however he has ceased all contact and not responding to any calls or messages. When I contacted Arise Solar, the response I got was "So what do you expect us to do?" See the photos below. Do not use Arise Solar, they are unethical, cheap and very poor at installing any systems. They will damage your home and leave you to clean up the mess. This is just a summary of the facts, there is so much more detail I want to share such as Arise Solar directing me not to talk to the inverter manufacturers Growatt. Keep an eye on my youtube channel and my Google Reviews for those!
