Meet the SolarWide Team
Delivering Excellence Through In-House Expertise and Exceptional Service
At SolarWide, we take pride in ensuring that every aspect of our installations meets the highest standards. Unlike some companies that subcontract their work, we handle every installation in-house. This allows us to maintain full control over the process and guarantee the quality of our workmanship.
Our install crews work tirelessly, especially in the challenging conditions of the Sunshine Coast. We understand that a happy team translates to happy customers, so we prioritise the well-being and satisfaction of our staff. By keeping our installers content and motivated, we ensure that they deliver exceptional results for our customers.
We recognise that providing a quality solar system is only part of the equation. A positive installation experience is equally important. From start to finish, we strive to exceed our customers’ expectations, not just in the quality of the system but also in the quality of the service they receive. Ultimately, our customers can see and appreciate the difference that a dedicated and skilled team makes.
Go SolarWide, Go Quality Solar
Our Staff, friendly service with experience
Choosing high-quality solar panels and inverter solutions and equipment is only half the battle. Choosing a supplier that focuses on services and quality is just as important. The best solar equipment can be compromised when installations are rushed.
The SolarWide staff have vast experience in installing many thousands of Solar PV systems, so you can be certain that we know what we are doing.
With over a decade in solar, our management team focuses on getting the job right every time, so you can benefit from our vast experience. All management team members are part of one local family, so you know they care about doing the right job at a fair price.
Our staff are Clean Energy Council accredited, meaning they have all the latest solar installation training to stay ahead of the latest technical developments. This means, unlike massive solar sales companies that rely on hit and miss subcontractors to install your solar, we have dedicated in-house crews to install for you.
This method guarantees consistent top installation quality, and you always know who is responsible for the work.
Our administration and sales staff are the heart of the operation. They will ensure that your solar system purchase and installation run smoothly from start to finish.
