Hillside Solar

So happy with our solar system! Zac from Hillside Solar has been so awesome to deal with!No hard sell witch was great!Really good at what he does and had lots of great tips!There are a lot of companies doing solar and it can be quite overwhelming and hard to choose, but I would definitely recommend going with Hillside solar!

I recently had the pleasure of having a solar power system installed in my home by Zac from Hillside Solar + Electrical.Firstly, what really stood out to me was his ability to listen to my needs and give honest answers to my questions.I never felt like I was being pressured into anything or being sold something I didn't need.He isn't tied to using a single brand like many of the other solar installers. With Zac's recommendations I was able to pick the components that I preferred for my solar system.From the moment we began working together, he was accommodating of my schedule and always arrived on time.I appreciated the care and attention to detail displayed in the installation, not just functionally but also visually on the roof and inside my home.Finally, I was impressed by Zac's passion for solar power. He clearly cares about his customers and the work he does.Overall, I would highly recommend Hillside Solar to anyone looking to make the switch to solar power.

Zac did an amazing job. Super friendly, on time and great price.Would definitely use him again.

Zac did some electrical work for us. He was on time, friendly and it works brilliantly. Highly recommend

The best, so helpful . Went above and beyond as far as I am concerned. Thanks Zac

Zac @Hillside was great to work with. On-time, good comms, and a tidy job. Recommend.

Really happy with the solar. Zac was great to deal with, listened to what I wanted and made suggestions based on my situation. He was really helpful and happy to chat and answer all my questions.I got a small battery set up and haven’t paid for power since! The battery is enough to get us through the night and is generally charged by lunch time. The rest we are selling and banking for winter.

Zac was a pleasure to work with, gave good advice without being pushy and completed the work agreed in a tidy and timely manner.He even un-recommended a product after he had done some research on a similar installation and saw it wouldn't be a good fit for us.

Recently reviewed 9 different solar companies in Christchurch and can confidently say that choosing Hillside Solar has been the best choice. Zac was the last company that I contacted but he was the first to give me an on-site inspection. There are several reasons why we chose Hillside Solar over 8 other solar companies.Hillside Solar has by far the best customer service. I have over 60 emails with Zac providing me with different quotes for different sized systems along with recommendations for the best fit for our home. This was before I decided to go with Hillside Solar. In total, there are more than 120 emails. Compared to other companies, the maximum number of exchanges I have is about 9 emails. The advantage of Zac is that he responds very quickly to requests and you will deal directly with him. Compared to other solar companies, there are considerable delay to follow up on simple requests.Hillside Solar is extremely flexible when it comes to panel choices, inverters and desired configurations. I realize many other companies will push a certain product or be limited in what they can offer, but Zac is more accommodating than all the others. I finally decided to build a ground mount as Zac has given me the flexibility to build the mount and dig trenches myself, which reduced labor costs making it more affordable for us.Zac is also qualified to do all the work himself as he is also an electrical inspector. He gave us loads of advice on how to build a ground mount that can pass the final inspection and can be assured that high quality electrical work will be done. He also recommended us to upgrade the switchboard as our house is over 20+ years old and offered a great price.Once the deposit was made, work began within a week and was completed early as there were no other contractors to deal with. Zac usually arrives early and often finishes late to get the job done as quickly as possible. Zac is very professional and very neat in his work. I even told him aesthetics didn't matter to me, but he took the time to make sure everything looked aesthetically pleasing and cleaned up afterwards.Thanks Zac, will contact again if I ever need any electrical work.
