TESTIMONIALS

Willunga

     We had a 2.1kW grid connected photo voltaic system installed on our residence in March 2009 and further upgraded to 2.52kW in April 2010.

The system was designed and installed by Paul Staska (SOLAR-MAN).

Throughout the process from quotation through to installation, we found Paul to be very professional. He explained all aspects of the system to our satisfaction, and completed the work in a timely, efficient and professional manner.

We have no hesitation in recommending SOLAR-MAN as a preferred solar system design and installation contractor.

     We would like to thank Paul and his team for a great job on the installation of our Solar panels.

From the very first phone call to Paul I felt that we could trust him to carry out a professional job. He was patient and understanding of our concerns and answered all our questions in a professional but friendly manner. We were impressed with his commitment to the environment and  by his explanations of all work to be carried out.

The installation process went ahead without problems, his workmen were friendly and efficient and did a great job.

We look forward to many years of "Sunpower"

We can confidently recommend the Solar-Man company to anyone who is looking at installing solar energy

     Recently (20 May 2009) I had a P.V. Energy system installed at my home at Blackwood. After obtaining quotes from 3 companies, I selected Solar-man to undertake the work.

Meeting with Paul Staska from Solar-man convinced me he was the person for the job simply by his approach, professionalism and attention to detail. I was also happy with the way in which the installers did their job with a minimum of fuss, mess and disruption.

All-in-all, a good experience.

     Paul Staska has supplied, organised and installed a 9 panel solar grid connected electricity supply system to my home in a very professional and competent manner, as well as managed all the paperwork involved with government rebate and renewable energy certificates, well above industry best practice standards.

His attention to detail, quality of work, and desire to please is excellent.

I have found him to be truthful and honest at all times and have I have no hesitation at all in recommending him as a very competent and efficient tradesman and businessman.

Summertown

     Paul Staska, known as SOLAR-MAN, recently completed a grid-connect solar electricity installation for us in Summertown in the Adelaide Hills.

We were impressed by his design and installation qualifications and expertise. His knowledge and long-standing experience enabled him to be cost-competitive with other installers including the larger organisations/s whose customers were being substantially subsidised by a financial institution's "discount".

He delivered high quality, guaranteed product to higher-than-required specification, on time and on budget, and completed all the necessary paperwork to ensure timely changeover and to secure maximum government and industry rebate.

We regard him as a professional designer and installer, and were impressed with his businesslike approach from competitive quoting through to installation and compliance-certification.

We recommend him unreservedly to others whom might be considering solar electricity generation.

Yours faithfully

Thanks guys.

     Dear Paul, thank you for the recent installation of 5 solar panels on my roof and advice on the best hot water system which now sits adjacent. The whole system looks superb: modern, symmetrical, practical, and very well laid out.

More importantly, it is great to see the electricity meter spinning away in the right direction and to excitedly await the first cheque from the utility company. Your professionalism, knowledge of building practices and excellent tradesman skills, across several disciplines, was certainly  noted and appreciated. Furthermore, your flexibility, logical approach and ability to schedule in, with the other tradespeople working on the roof, (roof restoration / cleaners / painters and air-conditioning commissioners etc) was outstanding.

Finally, your taking the responsibility for completing the reams of documentation, forms and paperwork was really appreciated.

In summary, great job, well done.

I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone thinking of installing solar power to their home.

Many thanks
