We are so glad we went with Ecoefficient, and it feels good to support a local business. rgds, Steve & Irene

Deciding on solar is a process that brings up numerous options, jargon and technicalities that can quickly become confusing. Shaun at Ecoefficient solutions guided us through the process of choosing a system that suited us, vs simply achieving a sale. Shaun’s knowledge, expertise and common-sense approach as well as his patience with our questions provided us confidence and the communication throughout the install process was excellent. The install team were friendly, tidy and treated our install as though it was their own house. Very happy with the results and the system and have great confidence in knowing the service continues past the system being completed.

After shopping around, we found Shaun and the team from Ecoefficient to be excellent to engage with and provide a comprehensive solution to meet all our requirements. When it came to the install, Shaun was great at problem solving some changes we needed to make to our meter box, and extremely accomodating with a last minute request for an EV charger to be added to the mix. The work completed by the installation crew is excellent, an extremely tidy and high quality install and set up, which we’re really happy with. Sam was great to deal with when it came to the installation day! Comms and post install support has also been great - the team kept us updated throughout the process and made everything seamless for us as a customer. With banks offering sustainability loan products and rates, it’s a great opportunity to unlock some cost efficiency and resilience and with a company like Ecoefficient you can’t go wrong! Thanks to Shaun and the team for a great experience and product!

Home and Solar FAQs

How much can I really save by switching to solar?

Yes, we aim to reduce your power bill by around 40-50% with solar alone, or up to 90% with solar and a battery. We cannot guarantee this saving, as it all depends on your power usage and habits.

While a battery isn’t required for your solar system to function, it can be a valuable addition for many households. We’ll sit down with you to determine whether a battery is the right choice for your property and, if so, what size best suits your needs. On average, most homes benefit from a battery size between 4.8kW and 14kW.

Most residential systems are fully installed within 1–3 days. For larger commercial projects, we’ll provide a clear installation timeline to keep your business running smoothly.

Every property is different. Although an average family home needs around 10 panels. We do a proper analysis of your power-bill & usage to decipher what size is best for you. It can be anywhere from 6-200 panels.

Yes! Solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days, because the convert daylight, not direct sunlight. Even on cloudy days, your system keeps producing clean energy for your home or business, just at a slightly reduced rate.

Yes, you can finance your solar system with 0–1% interest loans through most major banks. As SEANZ members, we meet the requirements your bank needs to approve your application. We’ll help you understand what incentives apply and guide you through the process.
