About Solaris Finance

Written by the company

Solar Finance for Residential & Commercial.

In our opinion, finance is mostly used for the wrong things. Finance should be used for investment, not consumption.Not only is solar a good investment, it has the added benefit of helping the environment.

Furthermore, our sales and marketing strategy is different than our competitors. Where other finance companies our their budgets into hard-sell tactics, we invest ours in providing value to the broader solar community through our Solar Nerds (https://solarnerds.com.au/) brand.

brilliant

Neil and his tam and contractors were brillliant. so professional, friendly and explained everything clearly. Neil calls me regularly to tell me how my usage is going and recommended a power company that maximises battery strength when the weather is gloomy. Overall, this is probably the most excellent customer experience I have ever had with any other company. Well done Neil & team!!!!!

Hi Danielle,

Thank you very much for the kind words.

However I want to clarify that Neil is the director of Solar Run Casey, the solar company. Solaris is an different company that only organises the finance. Solar Run are one of our referrer partners.

It's not surprising that you had a good experience with Neil and his team. We only ever good feedback from them and from the Solar Run franchise group more broadly.

In the future, if you ever need any help with your loan, please do not hesitate to reach out. Thanks again.

Regards,
Imraan
Managing Director

Hassle free loan

The process of obtaining a loan for solar battery was quick, easy and hassle free. The staff members were friendly, respectful and patient.

Solaris were so patient with us

Solaris were so patient with us. My husband and I were both unwell and as well not so confident with new technology. Solaris went out of their way to assist and treated us with care and respect. A special thank you to Michelle and Raf

The process was seamless

The process was excellent . In fact I did the application on my phone and made an error , by adding an extra zero.
I received a call to query, they fixed the error, once that was done I was kept informed of the process
In particular Lori and Therese thank you for such a smooth and efficient proceess.

A Broker who gies up at first hurdle

I am not one to do this usually, but the entire experience with Solaris has made me pretty mad, so I am posting a review. Two stars because they were initially easy to deal with.

I was referred to Solaris by the company we were looking to buy solar from. Firstly, they gave us no indication that they were actually a broker and not a finance company (if I knew they were a broker, I would have probably just used my own).
I am self-employed, and I contacted my solar company to reach out to Solaris to advise them of the same. They ignored the email asking for tips for a self-employed person. Once we submitted our application, we provided docs as requested (there were two applicants). They then came back and advised that as I was self-employed, it would be difficult to get approval with me on the application and that we should proceed with just my partner as the applicant. This was not acceptable to us, and we said so.

Solaris simply gave up trying because the process was too hard. We have used brokers many times, and brokers are meant to have relationships with the lenders they use to battle for the borrower to get them over the line. This is the entire reason people use brokers. If we wanted them to quit at the first speed bump, we would do it ourselves. Brokers are meant to be an inside track to the best finance deals.

Solaris simply gave up at the first difficult step. I hung up from Solaris and rang my broker, and she was able to get us pre-approval in 20 minutes, using other documents to show my self-employed income. Because our broker called a contact at the lender and asked what could be done, not just give up because it’s too hard.

We decided not to proceed with Solar and the loan due to their association with Solaris. We have now secured a quote from another solar company and will be using finance secured by our broker.

I cannot in good conscience suggest or recommend Solaris to anyone. Find a broker who will battle to get you approved. Find a broker who will not give up if it’s a challenging application. Find a broker who will do whatever it takes to get you over the line. Solaris is not a broker who will do any of this.

MY RESPONSES TO REPLY BELOW THIS REVIEW
1: I did not hang up on Michelle, I was angry that she was giving up. I advised her to Withdraw the application and ended the call.
2: No one was responding to the points in my email, the email was ignored.
3: When i said Pre Approved, what i should of said was Approved if we wanted to proceed. Thats a explanation error on my part.
4: To say "we never gave up on you, you never gave us a chance" is a laugh, Michelle Literally said the only way we could proceed was to do application in my partners name only which was not acceptable. No efforts were made to see what could be done, no alternatives were considered. I stated i had many documents that could prove my income but zero effort was made to see what could be done. This is my point SOLARIS GAVE UP AT FIRST HURDLE.
also... no missed calls on my phone so not sure who you called but it wsa not me.

Hi James,

I’m really sorry we weren’t able to get you approved. As much as we'd like to, unfortunately it’s not always possible. Generally speaking, self employed applications are notoriously difficult. As the owner of Solaris, I too am self employed, so I understand your pain first hand.

In saying that, we never actually declined you. Michelle was half-way through the points in your email and to your own admission, you hung up on her. That call was the very first time we spoke to you. We didn’t give up on you. You never gave us a chance.

It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to mention the specifics of your finance application. You’ve made a public review, to which I can’t adequately respond to without disclosing your private information. Instead, I’ve tried calling you, so we can discuss freely, but I wasn't able to reach you.

It is likely too late, but we are still happy to pick up your application where we left off. Whilst I can’t comment on another broker’s policies, I would be cautious of pre-approvals. Until something is formally approved, it’s not a done deal.

Regards,
Imraan
