Harrisons Solar - Waikato

We are very pleased to have chosen Harrison’s Energy Solutions - Waikato to install our farmsolar system. The service from start to finish was impressive, professional and personal. The installation team were well organised, clearly as the result of excellent communication from Greg and Julie. The post-installation visit was so important and as a result we have been able to monitor the system performance from day one. Our experience has changed the way we use our appliances and power consumption in general and consequently our monthly power account is a pleasure to receive. GO SOLAR.

We had fitted a 8kw system by Dave from Harrison’s Taupo. Dave communicated with us well, and provided a very professional service, we are very happy with the finished product and would recommend Dave to others looking at solar.

We used Andre and Tineka Kavanagh from Harrison Solar to install our system. We were very impressed with the quality of product supplied, the installers were efficient and was supported by excellent after sales support from Andre and Tineka. We selected the REC All Black panels which looks stylish and complements our roof. We absolutely recommend Harrisons. Great Team.

We contacted Harrison's Solar - Waikato a little way (some would say late) into our build and they were able to turn around a very quick set of quotes for us to choose from (time was of the essence prior to GIB going up in our new build to get the pre-wiring completed). After answering all the questions we had about the options they put forward and changing the quote to fit our needs, we chose the system that best suited our needs and the work began in a matter of days. The customer service from the whole team at Harrisons Solar - Waikato has been outstanding from the onsite visits to check the work their contractors have undertaken through to the after sales queries we have had. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them if you are thinking of going for a Solar option in the future. A massive thank you to Tineka, Andre and Donna for all your help.

David Smith and his team were great to deal with when we put in a ground mounted solar generation system with battery. David visited us on site twice before installation to discuss the set up and on the two day installation kept me up to date with how things were progressing and consulted on options.

Greg advised us on what we needed to build our Solar system for a startoff with 3.5kw of panels., We went straight solar for a startoff for almost a year but I still liked the idea of a battery so I talked to greg about it and he worked out a system where we would get maximum capacity by over sizing the 5 kw inverter with 6.5kw of panels so as soon as the sun hit the panels they would go to maximum output very quickly. The Solar Edge HD 5 kw inverter allows you to oversize the panels like this. All our panels also have optimisers on each one so each panel performs by itself. It looked good so we did it and added the powerwall battery and upgraded our Solar system to full capacity of 6.5 Kw to get the most out of the battery. Greg was dead right and it worked like a dream !! The system with the Powerwall battery performs completely different from a straight solar system.. Instead of going to the gid when solar is not enough it pulls it from the charge in the battery so we dont hardly touch the grid. During the summer we were basically offgrid with the battery taking the place of the grid with its battery charge. Then we found Contact Energy which gives 3 hours of free power from 9pm to midnight. Well that is just made for a battery system !! Our cycle goes -.> solar during the day runs the house and charges the battery -> solar ends so house is fully on battery -> 9pm free power kicks in, fully runs the house and takes the battery up to full charge by midnight -> house runs fully on battery until sun comes up and solar kicks in then the whole cycle starts again. Any excess solar gets exported to the grid and we get a credit on our electric bill for it. We are saving a fortune on electricity bills and I estimate the system will have paid for itself in 6 years with electricity savings. I even had the power co call me once to say they thought there was something wrong with my meter as we weren't using any electricity :) Calling Greg from Harrisons was the best thing we ever did !!

What we enjoyed about working with David is he designed, priced and installed a system for our power requirements. This ensured a quality finish and he’s also on hand for back up queries. A good guy to work with. We enjoy monitoring the Fronius app and seeing the power being generated each day!

Harrisons Solar - Waikato have been great to deal with from the start. There was no preassure with the product choice and they were very knoledgeable on their product. The follow up by their staff before installation was great and the install was done quickly and we were up and running. Very impressed would definitely recomed them if you are looking at getting solar.

I dealt with David Smith in the Taupo area to purchase and install my solar system. David patiently explained everything I needed to know and that was much appreciated as I had little prior knowledge about solar. As David is sales as well as the installation, it's great to have consistent service throughout the experience. It was important to me to deal with a reputable company that stands by its products with a long warranty and to have aftersales service in case of queries or issues. David is thorough, polite, helpful and efficient and I felt assured that he was proficient in his field. Very happy to recommend David and Harrisons to others who are interested in a solar system in the Taupo area.

Just had solar panels installed by Harrison’s Waikato. Great service, excellent pricing and super clear information from Andre and Tineka KAVANAGH about the system and our needs with solar.Paid a house visit within days of my enquiry to access what was needed and 8 weeks later fully installed. Totally delighted with the whole process.
