EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Geoff is very knowledgeable and up to date with the latest developments in solar energy solutions. Bettervolt has installed my solar system and then at a later date, my battery. The process was smooth and efficient. I have no hesitation in recommending Geoff and Bettervolt to anyone considering installing or upgrading a solar energy system.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My system was put into a new build, still under construction so I can't comment on daily usage but I can talk about the process and the customer service. This is my 4th solar installation: 2007 - panels feeding into the grid with no batteries. System cost was recouped within 5 years. Yay. 2015 - Stand alone system purchased online - no after sales support. System design was totally inadequate and batteries kept failing. A lesson learned. 2019 - New local installer on my shed who used SMA Sunny Boy. Very happy with the hardware but the system design was basic.This system is still running well. 2024 - Requested a quote for a new dwelling from Bettervolt. Geoff was very responsive , attended the site and did a detailed analysis to optimize the design. Installation took longer than planned but I will acknowledge the misty days when his crew couldn't safely installed the panels. The crew worked safely and were communicative. So far the only load on the system has been from our Tradies who have used some of their gear with very high load requirements. No issues at all with the system. The warranty on the hardware exceeds my life expectation but if I live to be 90 and build another house I'll go back to BetterVolt. RhonaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent local installer. Has been in Dorrigo for many years, locals all said good things about him. Didn't disappoint. Communicates well. Excellent tradies. Turns up when he says. Very efficient, knowledgable and passionate. Would recomand +++Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came across the Bettervolt crew whilst seeking solar companies to quote projects at my work place. I was immediately impressed by Geoff's knowledge of systems and designs offered for various building types and uses. I knew then I wanted Bettervolt to install an upgraded hybrid solar system at my residence. The installation was carried out professionally by the crew and I am impressed by the quality. The day the installation was completed I received an electronic manual and as installed drawings. I was also able to register online and within a few minutes could see my system working via my mobile. I also installed on my PC at home. The system was installed with a catch relay to divert spare power to our hot water service and effectively give us almost free hot water. Very happy to give my highest recommendation to use this company.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Geoff is far the most knowledgable, passionate and helpful solar guy in the area and his team is great too. Dont go to anyone else.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A big THANK YOU to Better Volt Solar + Batteries for donating a 7.5kW solar system to our local Bellingen Scout Group! We have a high quality inverter (Fronius) which was installed by their local electricians, they live just down the road and have a child who attends Scouts. The business owner has been a Venturer Scout leader for 22 years. Our bill has been drastically reduced which is a big benefit for a volunteer run facility. Solar will be a big part of our children’s future, so the full monitoring package and smart diverter to the hot water tank will show the Scouts how it saves money, and reduces our carbon footprint.

Geoff Tosio is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of solar power, he uses top quality products and he’s passionate about helping people get the most value from their solar system. He was very helpful and considerate of our needs when he designed a solar system that’s right for us and he is always willing to help with any questions we have about getting the best value out of system. We highly recommend Geoff Tosio and his professional team. Stewart and Jen Ahrens Upper OraraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Geoff Tosio has been more than helpful, looking at and assessing our needs. We already had some solar panels and he talked us through what we needed to upgrade rather than what he needed to sell. We ended up with a terrific system that we love. Our solar system provides enough power during the day (we have a pool) and it also feeds back into the grid so at the end of the first 3 months we only had a bill of $150.00. He is also easy to reach and gets back quickly with any queries we have. Cant recommend Geoff enough. Best regards Jane and NickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had BetterVolt install a solar system with batteries for my home in Urunga. Geoff Tosio and his team are extremely knowledgeable and competent, and the equipment and technology they promote are of very high quality. I had done a lot of research on what I wanted and Geoff took onboard my wishes, particularly with panel selection and also future requirements such as EV changing. On top of that, I felt a genuine honesty and passion for solar technology that gave me confidence to make decisions. Even now, during the shortest days of the year, my system keeps me off the grid for about 12 hours. I consider that a great investment. And Geoff continues to provide follow up, ensuring that my system is operating to a high standard. I highly recommend BetterVolt for your solar installation.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Geoff and his team of local electrical technicians, made the installation efficient and straight forward .I highly recommend Better Volt for all your solar energy needs.
