    7 red flags when selecting a solar provider

    Solar power is a great way to save money on your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint. However, whenever government incentives and subsidies are involved unscrupulous solar sales teams and providers will follow. We’ve heard dozens of stories from people who have experienced high-pressure sales tactics and overpromises with under deliveries. Sadly, we’ve been called to fix or finish many incomplete installs, and even replace entire systems for customers who have fallen victim to these sales teams.

    All you need to know about solar financing

    Australia is one of the sunniest places on earth – and we are making the most of it when it comes to harnessing all that sunshine. As of October 2023, a respectable one in three rooftops had solar panels installed, generating free, clean, and sustainable energy. That said, it’s important to understand solar financing. Installing a quality solar system in your home or business needs a substantial initial outlay. It pays to seek expert advice and do your research to determine the solar panel installation cost and how to finance it.

    Does temperature affect solar panel performance?

    In this blog our team will be busting the myth that hotter temperatures increase the amount of energy produced by solar panels. Even though a solar PV system does produce the most energy in hotter months like December and January, this isn’t because of temperature. In fact, excessive heat actually reduces the amount of power a system can produce. As a basic rule, the power and energy produced by panels begin to decrease once the cell temperature of the panels goes above 25°C (based on standard test conditions).

Customer review

Don’t just take our word for it

Ian Little

From initial enquiry through to final install and commissioning of our solar and battery installation the team were great. Everything executed according to schedule and as promised. The guys working on site were polite and friendly and just a great bunch that worked well together. Keep up the great work and customer focus will certainly be recommending Gardel Electrical & Solar.

Justin Frazer

Excellent service and communication. Jason, Steve and the team were great to deal with. They were on site exactly when they said they would be, talked me through the whole install process and followed up the next day to ensure we were happy with their work. I could not be happier and will be recommending them to everyone in the future!

Wesley Vasile

Amazing business to deal with - very professional and responsive. A great reliable business. I can definitely recommend engaging Gardel Electrical & Solar.

Peter Jager

The people at Gardel Electrical and solar were great to work with from the start. Jason went the extra mile to do the work, look at your current electrical billing, and discuss the benefit of the battery. The guys on site were professional and took the time to talk through all the options of where the battery could be installed. They did a fantastic job with the install. Jason's after sales service was great, and he got back to me quickly about my concerns with inaccuracies in the data monitoring. Highly recommended especially given the competitive cost.

Diana Dickens

The team from Gardel were fabulous. Communication was thorough and timely. They arrived when they said they would, kept me up to date as it progressed and completed the job ahead of time. Very happy with the result and the service.

Stephen Glynn

I cannot speak highly enough of the service provided by this company. It was exemplary. I live in the country, 1.5 hours from Brisbane, yet they had no hesitation in driving to my property to resolve the smallest of issues. They installed the solar system in my absence as I was overseas at the time and I had to trust their professionalism. They did not let me down. Their communications were first class and they provided expert technical advice and service. Their product is first class and their price is competitive. I have no hesitation in recommending Gardel to my friends and family. Thanks too to Jason for going that extra mile to ensure the installation was completed to my satisfaction.

Dale Mengel

Both Mum and myself had a 6.6KW solar system installed on our respective houses by Gardel Electrical & Solar in late July 2022. Sam took the time to discuss our needs, answer any questions we had along the way and came up with a design that would best suit our respective houses. The Quotes I received were very competitive for the equipment that was provided. I opted for REC TwinPeak 4 Panels and a Fronius inverter, whilst Mum went for Canadian Solar Panels and Sungrow Inverter. Sam and the team were extremely punctual and had both of mine and Mum's systems installed and operational on the same day. Quality of workmanship was to an extremely high standard and both sites were left spotless after installation. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sam and the Team to anyone wishing to install Solar in South-east Queensland or Mackay to Cairns localities.

Peter Chalmers

I’ve been equivocating about getting solar for a while because I was suspect about who would be doing the work. I had a personal recommendation for Gardel and the company is local - Brisbane southside - so I gave them a go. The whole process was simple. Communication was excellent as was the timeliness of the site visits. I am fussy about workmanship. I had a good look on the roof and at the electrical work. I couldn't fault it. The team was from Gardel and led by a Gardel electrician. At the end they sent a comprehensive manual. Very happy with the result. Highly recommended.

Lance Weslake

These Gardel guys are so on it. First truck turned up precisely as advised weeks ahead with the gear to be installed. Halfhour later a team of four arrived and in 4 hours later the panels, inverter and batteries were up and running. Very professional, helped install the App on my phone, the installation was very neat and an excellent clean up on completion. How the system works was well explained. How good. 10/10

Russell Eyre

The people at Gardel were always great to deal with, friendly and informative. The battery and solar was installed in less than a day and they kept me informed with what was going on. Really good job.

Kaitlyn Castorina

Very personable, detailed and flexible service. Able to reach out with questions whenever needed. Installation team very friendly and did a high quality and neat job. Very happy with Gardels services overall.

Dee Sharp

Team Gardel where extremely professional to deal with, the install was done a week before our scheduled date which was fantastic. Communication was excellent, ensuring we were ready for the install. They returned to finish connecting the battery a few days later as we needed to finish some painting which was very helpful. Any questions are always answered extremely quickly and helpfully. The app is great and its interesting to see how the system is working. Very Happy with our install. Thank you to Josh, Luke, Stefani, Joel, Jordan, Sam, Jason and the rest of the team.
