Generally happy with service and installation. Not prepared to be more detailed until I receive my next power bill and see whether the savings touted have actually been achieved.

Company representative and office staff I have dealt with have been very polite and helpful. Installation team were punctual and very good communicators as day went on. Noise and disruption was minimised. Some items of material left behind - pieces of wire, plastic wrapping. Pot plants moved and not replaced. But generally very neat, polite and most cooperative.

Couldn’t be more happier with our new 10kw system, Cody the sales tech knew his stuff and was very patient with all the questions I had and the install crew led by Ty was also fantastic. Initial after sales support also great, looking forward to many years ahead of solar yielding. Highly recommend SAE to anyone who asks.
