About Solahart Australia

Written by the company

In 1953, SW Hart and Co., a pioneering plumbing company based in Perth, decided that the sun was the best energy source to heat water in Western Australian homes. As a result, solar hot water in Australia was born and Solahart geared up for expansion.

Since then we’ve built a reputation as a world leader in solar innovation and technology and invested millions of dollars into R&D and manufacturing. We’ve also installed over one million systems in over 70 countries around the world. We’re at Everest Base Camp and Antarctica. Even Nelson Mandela’s South African home had a Solahart system installed on the roof.

Today, after more than 65 years as Australia’s solar energy experts, we’re set to turn our brilliant past into an even brighter future.

Worst experienve and worst customer service

I placed an order at the beginning of June to have a solar hot water system installed to replace a faulty hot water system. The installation was cancelled the day before because of expected rain forcasted. It did not rain on the installation day. I was promised a call on the Monday to reschedule. No call came so i contacted them. They could not give me a new date imediately but promised a call back. No call back came. I called again and still i could not be given a new date but promised a call back. No call came. I then received my monthly electricity bill and it was $960 for the month and i called again explaining the urgency of the installation and complained. I was put through to a gentleman who promised he wold try to have a plumber come out and fix my old hot water as a courtesy while i wait. He was going to call me the next day. No call back. I then cancelled the order via an online customer service enquiry and an email to the accounts department. I had no response to my email or request for refund of my deposit. I called the 1300 number and was told that my email had been received and filed and that i would have to wait until the party run of the 15th July for my refund. I received a call from the gentleman who promised the urgent repair the Monday after I cancelled the order telling me he had arranged a plumber. I advised him I had already replaced the tank the week before and cancelled my order and am awaiting my refund of the deposit. 15th July came and went and no refund. I called solarhart on the 20th and was told that no refund request had been issued by the manager and they would look into it and call me back and i may get the refund this Wednesday. It is now the 23rd July again no refund and again i will need to initiate a call for my refund as it still has not been received.

Hot water system service by Mitchell

Young Mitchell has just left after servicing our hot water system. He was very professional, courteous and extremely patient. As always we highly recommend Darren and Solarhart Joondalup. We couldn't be happier.

Solar panel installation

As an existing Solahart customer of approximately 8 years, my most recent experience with Solahart Newcastle has been disappointing.

Following installation of solar panels, an independent roofer identified approximately 10 damaged roof tiles. I was only advised by Solahart the day after installation that approximately 2–3 tiles had been damaged.

Prior to the installation, my roof had been professionally restored and no other trades had accessed it.

I lodged a formal complaint with Solahart Newcastle and also sought assistance from the General Manager of Solahart Industries Australia. Despite this, I have seen very little progress towards resolving the issues raised.

More than a week after speaking with the Dealer Principal about arranging removal of panels on RHS of property to access damaged tiles and sourcing replacement tiles, I have received no further update.

Due to the lack of progress and communication, I have now escalated the matter to Building Commission NSW for further review.

Based on my experience, I would encourage prospective customers to carefully consider all available solar providers before making a decision, particularly if they have a tiled roof.
