We had a 16 kWh Solar and battery storage system with 54 panels installed by Andy which was operating successfully for eleven years, due to external damage the system had to be replaced. Acting on advice from Opera Solar Energy (Andy) it was decided to upgrade not only the panels but also the back up battery to a latest technology Sigen 40kwh storage unit. Due to the professional advice from Opera solar Energy and of course Andy's help and support we now have a system which is virtually independent of the grid. Since the date the solar system was professionally installed and commissioned by CEC accredited installer, monitoring records prove we have not had to rely on the grid for power. We thank Andy for taking our needs into account and giving us a system which gives us the best possible solaar system at the best competitive price. Thank you ANDY. Highly recommend going with Opera Solar Energy for all your solar and battery needs.

Andy and the team at Opera Solar were fantastic to deal with and we couldn't be happier with the service and install. The install team were able to work in the limited space we have to install the inverter without impacting our side access which was a huge plus for us. Top quality work!

I recently had a 13.3 kW solar PV system installed by Opera Solar, consisting of a 10 kW Sungrow inverter and a 16 kW backup battery. Andy, my system designer, was exceptionally patient throughout the process, accommodating multiple changes to the system configuration to align with my brand preferences and budget. He took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly, including those raised over weekends. The installation was scheduled just seven days after accepting the quote and was completed on the agreed date. Allan and his installation team delivered an excellent outcome, completing the work by 1 pm and ensuring I had full access to the Sungrow app to monitor the system. Allan also went above and beyond by replacing a damaged roof tile at no additional cost. Following the installation, Andy walked me through a practice system power-down and power-up procedure, ensuring I was confident operating the system. Atul from the accounting team promptly provided the necessary documentation to support the upgrade to a smart meter. I would confidently recommend Opera Solar for their efficient delivery, professional workmanship, and highly personalised service.

If you ever want to experience what it’s like to chase a solar installer the way a pilot chases a tailwind, give Opera Solar in Baulkham Hills a try. The owner has mastered the ancient art of not answering calls. I’m convinced he teaches seminars on it. You can ring once, twice, ten times… nothing. Not even a courtesy “busy, call you later.” The man communicates exclusively through WhatsApp like he’s running an underground spy operation, except less responsive. When you do manage to get a reply, prepare yourself for a level of arrogance that could power its own battery system. Simple questions get treated like you’ve interrupted him during the lunar eclipse he’s been preparing for. All I wanted was solar, not a one-man disappearing act. If you enjoy guessing games, WhatsApp blue ticks, and the thrill of wondering whether your installer is still alive, then Opera Solar is perfect. Otherwise, I’d look elsewhere… preferably somewhere that owns a phone and knows how to use it.

I highly recommend Opera Solar Energy to anyone. The team, lead by Andy is very efficient. Andy came out and design and quoted the system I needed. Then arrange the installation date ASAP. The team of installers came out and they were very informative explaining the installation process. The installer had an eye for detail so that the system conduit was not an eyesore. The whole process took a week to have the 8Kw system with battery installed. I am so happy with the solar system. Also, after a bad storm, there was an issue with the battery. It only took one call to Andy, and his team were able to fix it within an hour. For efficient, quality and workmanship I will recommend Opera Solar Energy, to anyone.

I highly recommend Andy from Opera Solar. What distinguishes Andy from the pack in a very crowded space is his personal service and customer focus. He genuinely cares and wants to build a strong customer relationship and experience as is evidenced by my personal interactions with him. He's knowledgeable and isnt just after a quick sell which is another strong reason why you should not only strongly consider him but put him on top of your list. I would recommend Andy and Opera Solar to anyone looking for solar panels or full solution including battery. Keep up the good work Andy .

I’ve gone with Opera Solar twice now — first for my solar panels and recently for a battery install — and both times they’ve been amazing! Andy really knows his stuff and always gives the best advice. The installation team was friendly, professional, and did a great job as always. Communication has been spot on from start to finish. Couldn’t recommend Opera Solar enough — they’re genuinely one of the best in the business!

Opera Solar Energy led by Andy did a great analysis of what I needed in solar batteries for my home. Andy's quote was $3.8k and $6.4k below the other quotes that I received. As I live in a Strata I needed to get approval, which was forthcoming but took a little time. Andy then arranged for the installation which was carried out in less than one day. The installation team were very professional in the installation and did a great job. I monitored the app that was provided, and it gives me a great deal of information. My previous 31-day electricity costs were $180, this time with the battery in for only half the period my costs were down to $70. All in all, I am very happy with my decision to engage Opera Solar Energy to install my new battery system and very pleased with the results.

We had our solar system installed be Opera Solar 5 years ago. We have a big house with pool and ducted air. It cut our bills by more than half, helped by the software that shows me our usage and solar generation so I can change my usage accordingly. With the new rebates on batteries, I contacted Andy about battery options. He gave me a great range to choose from, and once I chose the Sig Energy battery, he had it installed within a few days - amazing! Great price, great service. Installers were very thorough and knew what they were doing. Fantastic experience all round. Thanks Andy and team!

I couldn't be happier with my experience working with Andy and his opera solar power company. From the initial consultation to the final installation, everything was handled with exceptional professionalism and care. Andy took the time to explain every detail of the system, helping me understand the benefits and how it would impact my energy usage and savings. His knowledge and passion for renewable energy truly set him apart. The installation process was seamless — the team arrived on time, worked efficiently, and left everything clean and tidy. The system was up and running exactly when promised. What really impressed me, though, was the after-sale service. Andy has been incredibly responsive and supportive, checking in to ensure everything is functioning perfectly and answering all my questions with patience and clarity. It's rare to find someone who stands so firmly behind their work. If you're considering switching to solar, I wholeheartedly recommend Andy and his Opera Solar company. They're trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about their customers.

After many months of researching and comparing different companies, I’m so glad I chose Opera Solar for my solar panel installation. I had been looking for the right team for a long time, and absolutely satisfied. My roof is partially shaded, so I was concerned about how effective solar would be—but Opera Solar designed a system that still gives me a strong and consistent energy supply. From the first consultation to the final installation, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. The team was knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to answer my questions. The quality of the work is excellent, and I feel confident I made the right decision. Highly recommend Opera Solar to anyone thinking about switching to solar or upgrading the existing one!

It was a great experience working with Andy right from the quote to installation. He explained everything in detail, gave me multiple quotes and explained the pros and cons of each. After order confirmation, his installers were at my place the very next week. Installation started at 7am and by 1pm everything was done and they had left. Through the app of my inverter I can see that I have been generating solar right from get go. I got the Trina Solar Panels with Sungrow inverter. The generation is better than expected so far. Overall it was an absolute pleasure working with Andy and would highly recommend.

Opera Solar Energy have done an outstanding job on providing a superb Enphase system on our house! From the outset, Andy provided a heap of extremely valuable advice which helped me make an informed decision. He was always very polite, has a wealth of knowledge about solar energy and happily provided thorough answers to all of my questions. He was always very responsive to any questions I sent via text message. Opera Solar also managed to complete their installation just before the end of 2024 to ensure that I would receive the maximum rebate, which was greatly appreciated. I'm looking forward to see the results of investing in the Enphase system come to fruition this year and onwards. I'd happily recommend Andy and the Opera Solar Energy team to anyone looking to invest in a solar energy system!

Ok, should I go with the long or the short story? 🙂 At the start of the year, I realized I needed to change one of our biggest bills—power. We typically rack up about 23-27 kWh of usage daily, running computers, servers, the kitchen, TV, and PS5. I knew I had to cut down on our costs, with the average bill being between $900 and $1000. I started with another company, but found they were overselling something I didn’t need—micro inverters. Enter Andy, the golden child. From the get-go, he was punctual, kind, understanding, and knew exactly what we wanted to achieve. As an electrician myself (though sadly lacking the qualifications to design and install the system), Andy was able to step in and provide much-needed guidance. With an installation of 36 panels providing just over 17 kW of power, coupled with a GoodWe 15 kW hybrid inverter and battery, the savings started rolling in. Andy was also able to provide a contact to upgrade our old asbestos switchboard, going from dual-phase 6mm to 3-phase 16mm for a reasonable price. Our installer, Chris, was professional, punctual, and a great installer. He was able to install (with an extra hand) all the railing, cabling, mount a 50kg inverter, mount 36 panels, and perform the relevant switchboard modifications—all within the day. Using high-quality switchgear, correctly installing conduits, saddles, labeling, and going over shutdown procedures (very important: never just unplug your DC PV strings unless you know what you're doing). The battery system keeps our hard-earned solar stored for the afternoon, lasting until about 2 am, and is also able to power our house during a blackout with ease. Since we went with a modular system, we can always upgrade and add capacity down the track for a more affordable solution. So if you have any concerns, fear not—Andy will do the right thing by you, and by extension, so will Opera Solar. Things to consider: your output will be greatly affected by things like shade, winter, and clouds. The key is to overproduce—the larger the system, the more you can capture. But, of course, the price goes up accordingly. Consider when all your usage occurs. If it's during the sunny part of the day, a standard system would be great. But if, like me, nearly 60% of your usage happens in the afternoon while the sun sets and the moon comes up, then definitely look into a battery system to accommodate your solar. Thank you, Andy, for all your emails, calls, and messages. It's great to see someone who is so on the ball with clients, and thanks for the solution to our problem.

Frequently Asked Questions About Opera Solar Energy Reviews

Are Opera Solar Energy reviews real and verified?

Yes. All Opera Solar Energy reviews referenced on our website are sourced directly from our official Google Business Profile and Facebook page. We do not filter, edit, or selectively display feedback. Reviews represent real homeowners and businesses across Sydney and NSW who have completed installations with us. This transparency allows prospective customers to see both the quality of our work and how we communicate throughout the process.

When researching solar installers, verified third-party reviews are one of the most reliable indicators of long-term service standards. We encourage customers to read feedback in full rather than relying on star ratings alone.

Across hundreds of reviews, several themes appear consistently. Customers often mention clear communication from the quoting stage through to installation. Many reviews highlight realistic system recommendations rather than inflated performance claims. Another frequent point is the care taken during installation, including roof protection and site clean-up.

Timelines are also regularly referenced. Many customers report a 7 to 14 day turnaround from approval to installation, depending on stock availability and weather conditions. This balance of efficiency and quality is a key reason people choose Opera Solar.

Opera Solar installs solar systems across Sydney and regional NSW. Reviews frequently come from customers located in metropolitan and coastal areas as well as regional centres. Our teams regularly complete installations on the Central Coast and in Newcastle, where system design must account for different roof types, coastal conditions, and network requirements.

If you are located outside Sydney, you can review our dedicated service area pages for the Central Coast and Newcastle. These pages provide more detail on how local conditions are considered during system design.

Opera Solar installs systems using Tier-1 solar panels and proven inverter technology. Customer reviews often reference the reliability and performance of the equipment selected. Depending on system design, this may include Sungrow string inverters, Enphase microinverters, or compatible battery systems.

High-quality inverters play a critical role in system longevity and performance. You can read more about the inverter technologies we install here. Using established manufacturers ensures long warranties, local technical support, and compliance with Australian standards.

Yes. Opera Solar manages the paperwork required for Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) as part of the installation process. STCs reduce the upfront cost of eligible solar systems and are a key component of residential solar pricing in Australia. For independent information on how STCs work, you can refer to the Clean Energy Council’s official guidance here.

Where applicable, customers are also assisted with understanding the NSW Battery Rebate under the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme. Reviews often mention that incentives are explained clearly before installation, avoiding confusion later.

Transparency is one of the most common positive points raised in Opera Solar Energy reviews. Quotes are fully itemised so customers can see exactly what is included. There are no hidden inspection fees or unexpected add-ons introduced on installation day.

This approach addresses a common concern in the solar industry, where unclear pricing can lead to mistrust. Customers consistently mention that knowing the full cost upfront made the decision process easier.

Post-installation support is a recurring theme in customer feedback. Opera Solar provides ongoing assistance after the system is commissioned. This includes help with inverter Wi-Fi reconnections, monitoring app setup, and general performance questions.

Reviews often note that support is available even months or years after installation. This ongoing relationship is important because solar systems are long-term assets, not one-off purchases.

When comparing installers, reviews should be read alongside information about hardware, warranties, and service coverage. Look for repeated patterns rather than isolated comments. Consistency in feedback about communication, workmanship, and support is usually a stronger indicator of reliability than any single review.

Reading Opera Solar Energy reviews alongside our service and hardware pages can help homeowners make a more informed and confident decision.
