Hi,

Can I mention the guys that come and done the install were brilliant, I’m not sure of the name of the main guy (he was driving your work truck) I talked to but he represented your company excellent and unlike most tradies they left the work areas as if there were never there.
From this I have recommended 3 other people that are going to be in contact to discuss their solar needs.
 
Thanks again

Dear Nick and all the staff at Effective Electrical, 
​
We would like to thank you for the professional and friendly manner in which you conduct your business. 
We had solar panels installed at our home in Ballan.
From the first contact and during the trauma of applying for the Govt. Rebate and up to and including the actual installation you were most helpful and efficient.  The two young men who did the installation were great, they cleaned up and did a remarkable job.
 
When the inspector came to inspect the system after the installation was complete you may like to know that he sang the praises of your company and said how efficient you were and that he held you in the highest regard.
 
Thank you once again and be sure we would highly recommend you to all our friends.
 
Regards 
John and Patricia Costello

Dear team at Effective Electrical,

Just a short note to say how pleased we are with our new Solar Edge system. Your team made our transition to solar panels seamless. We were incredibly impressed with your installation crew. The electrical inspector commented on what a good job they did and said he wished all installations were like yours.
We did shop around for the best quote and we found that your willingness to take the time to make sure we had a product that suited our needs was probably why we chose you. We also appreciated your swift response to quoting, installation and answering our many questions.
We have recommended you to our friends without hesitation.

Regards
Melissa & Tony Griffin

Effective Electrical installed our PV solar system in August 2019, and the results were beyond our expectations.  Mark and the team offered excellent service and advise as they walked us through multiple system, which all could be viewed in operation at their local Ballarat offices.  Once we had made our choice, again we were supported ​through all the rebate applications and Vic Solar processes.  The installation was carried out exactly as planned and followed up with great after sales support in setting up WiFi app’s etc. and ongoing monitoring of the systems operation.  The bottom line was professional advice, extremely competitive price without compromising quality and great service all while dealing with a local Ballarat business. 
We couldn’t be happier.

Off Grid Solar Testimonial  – praise for Mark Smith, Nick Briody and the Effective Electrical team

We had a situation with an out of town solar company that took our money and won’t give it back, living with a generator for months and months whilst waiting for solar with two babies was very stressful.
In an emergency when we realized we had been ripped off I called Mark desperate for help, support and most of all POWER. 
Mark was amazing and made time for a meeting instantly, and had a system In mind and ready to go within weeks.
 The team came to the property to assess the needs and were very professional and sympathetic of our terrible situation.
Within weeks the team were back at the property and the power was on with not one issue, I cannot praise them any more to everyone we talk too. Everything is running off the solar and it’s better that we ever expected, as we are learning to use the system Mark and Nick have gone above and beyond to support us. 

Thanks guys you really saved the day. 

I have used Effective Electrical a number of times now for various additional electrical works around our home over the past couple of years.
These jobs ranged from extra powerpoints and ceiling fans to installing and commissioning a 5kw Solar system that is exceeding all expectations
I have found their work to be of a high quality.
They arrive as arranged and complete the jobs quickly and tidily.
All jobs have been done right the first time.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Effective Electrical for any electrical work, large or small.

Very Satisfied Customer.

We have used Effective Electrical for all of our electrical work in our workshop and new factory.

Work ranged from installing all heavy duty wiring including all lighting and power points, installation of sub station and main control and the installation of 50kw solar system.

We have found them to be very reliable and their work to be of a very high standard.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Effective Electrical for an electrical work.

I chose Ballarat Solar Panels based on competitive price and Tony’s super fast and professional responses to questions. Being local was a bonus. I’m really happy with the solar pv system – neat install and well designed. Tony and the team have been great to deal with through quote, questions, installation and post-install support. I would recommend them to anyone considering a solar pv system in the Ballarat region.

Highly recommend Ballarat Solar Panels. Both Nick and Luke have been excellent to deal with and have been more than happy to answer any questions we have had throughout the process. We have installed a fully off grid solar and battery system with generator. They not only tailored a system to our budget and also with our adjusted timeline.

Ballarat Solar Panel have been very professional in my dealings with them. They are friendly and have been a great assistance to me.

Just like to thank Ballarat Solar Panels for their professional and friendly dealings whilst dealing with the installation of 6.6 kW system. Both Nick and Leanne and all team were great to deal with. The quality of the workmanship was first class as stated by the independent inspector who signed off on the final inspection. Highly recommend Ballarat Solar Panels.

Always available for support over the phone. Quick to respond in person if it was needed. Excellent customer service. Haven’t made me feel stupid with my lack of knowledge and silly questions. Have come out to my block many times ( and I don’t live close to Ballarat) to help me out. Wouldn’t go anywhere else

Nick and Luke from Ballarat Solar panels/Effective Electrical have been an absolute pleasure to work with. Throughout the 2 years I was in contact with them for our new build they were quick to reply to my lengthy questions and provided the time that was needed to feel confident in their service.
Their workers installed an off-grid system at our new build in Castlemaine. The after-instal follow ups and service has been greatly appreciated, and it’s nice knowing that we’ve got technicians who are a phone call away, unlike some other providers who no doubt stop answering calls once they receive the money.
I would highly recommend their service to others.

I had solar installed both at home & at my business premises. Jason was really helpful explaining the options & selecting those to meet home & work needs. The installations went smoothly & I’m happily enjoying a lower carbon footprint & lower electricity bills. Highly recommend their service.

Superb local company . So glad i chose them . They were so professional and I am very happy with the result. Definitely recommend using this local company

We had a small problem with this company however when we bought it to their attention, they dealt with it quickly and went far and above our expectations, they were excellent. We would definitely use them again and would not hesitate to recommend them . A very positive experience, thanks guys.

Cannot thank the team at Ballarat Solar Panels enough for installing our solar system. Customer service and quality is outstanding. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Made the process really easy for us. Highly recommend this company.

Cannot speak highly enough of Nick and the team at Ballarat Solar Panels/ Effective Electrical.
From start to finish have been very supportive, provided great advise, the install was efficient and the whole system is fantastic.
They use higher Tier products and insure the customer is well prepared and ready for Solar or Off-grid systems.
Recommended to many friends and Family.

Ballarat Solar Panels (Effective Electrical) did an amazing job with fantastic customer service from the time I requested a quote until the final installation on my mum’s place. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for solar in Ballarat or the wider region – we are about 30 mins from Ballarat. Truly top notch service, and as a result my sister is now talking to them about a system. Thanks guys!

Just wanted to thank Ballarat solar panels for their wonderful and professional service. Very happy customer here!

Good Solar 

Very Professional!!!

We’re so happy with our big, new off-grid installation from Nick and his team at Effective/Ballarat Solar.

The project was a sizeable undertaking; Effective gave us a very competitive quote.
It involved three roofs, 39 panels, 2 inverters, trenching, machinery pad with a steel, weatherproof, secure walk-in battery/inverter/control board and a mine-rated generator.
It was all completed at a remote site in seven calendar days.

I haven’t seen or heard of a crew of sparkies working with the quality and pace of the guys we had here last fortnight. We’re on a Sanctuary, where plastic/industrial waste and litter is a significant threat and our site was left immaculate.

The team comprises more than a dozen friendly and polite crew, a credit to the business they work for.

We expected a teething period, ironing-out bugs in the system. However the first few weeks of service have been a dream…and we’re in the middle of winter!

I highly recommend this business and received no compensation for my review. Check my review history; I’m blunt and honest.

After being left in the cold with my wife & 2 babies as we have no mains power & lived off a generator for several months due to being caught up in a shonky solar mob from Melbourne & losing 10’s of thousands of dollars, we approached Mark who completely understood our situation & we could not be more greatful for Marks kindness & professionalism, within a couple of weeks Mark & his team had a beautiful system up & running 4 us which has absolutely changed our lifes! We have all the power we need & more even with weather being not great! We are so thankful & greatful guys & no at this stage have not been able to recoupe any of the money stolen from us, Mark has been kind enough to give us a little extra time to get our finances sorted to pay for Marks system which has got us through! Just!! So thankyou thankyou thankyou we are just so greatful!! Heres a tip anyone looking to purchase a system, trust the local guys & especially effective electrical whos knowledge & professionalism are absolutely impeccable!! Thankyou so much you beautiful people!!

I had my solar panels installed last week and could’t be happier. The team at Effective Electrical/Ballarat Solar have been so helpful and professional throughout the entire process.
Could not recommend them enough.

Just had the team at effective elctrical (Ballarat Solar Panels) install a solar system.
Couldn’t have been a smother process & more professionall from start to finish.
The most important part for us was knowing this local business will be arouind for the long haul, which can’t be said for many otheer installers going around.
Would recomment checking these guys out if looking at solar.

Had 26 panels installed in May. The installing team were unbelivable. Team of four guys worked flat out all day and were very professional and courteous. Their workmanship was very detailed and they didn’t leave any mess (a bit unusal for tradies) A big thank you guys. After sales service was also prompt. Highly recommend them and have had several neighbours in Beaufort also very satisfied with them. Just sort my toggles out please guys. Cheers

Just had an 8kw off grid systerm installed. The service and accessibility to staff before, during and after installation has been second to none.
I contacted a number of companies and received NO reply. These guys answered everything asked.
Very professional. Thanks to Luke, Seran, the office and the herd of installers.
