Dave, Illawong, NSW

"Ingenero installed my system before Christmas and I could not be happier. I was with another company and they wanted extra money up front to buy the equipment - about $3500 - but could not give me an install date. They said it might be up to 4-5 months and then when they get the rebate from the government they would refund $2100 of the money back. Ingenero covered the equipment money and only charged me the excess.

"Their installer John Rollo and all his guys were fantastic. They even asked if I had any spare roof tiles and replaced some cracked tiles that I knew were already broken on the other side of the roof just because they where already up there. They took care of all the paperwork and at the end of the job sat down and explained all the paperwork and warranties, which for the German out door inverter is 10 years and the panels 25 years. Not bad.

"I am still waiting for the new meters but that's because of Energy Australia not having stock and John has phoned me twice to keep me up to date with when they will have them. I only have a 1 kw system with 6 panels but it pumps out 5.5 - 6 kw a day. When you work it out at 60c a kw that's about $350 a quarter - well worth it. I'm very happy with everything."

Michael Hoskin no longer pays for electricity

Coolum, Qld 

Michael Hoskin is a trainee teacher from Coolum who, for the last six months, has been a little worried.

You see, since he has had his solar panels installed by Ingenero, he hasn’t had to pay an electricity bill.

‘I’ve kept all the records,’ he said, ‘I keep thinking what kind of stuff-up have we made here.’

Ingenero’s solar designers are trusted by some of Australia’s largest organizations as well as state and local governments, using systems designed for maximum power output, which is why Michael hasn’t had to pay a bill in the last six months.

Michael said the installation was hassle-free, although he did have to remove some branches that were creating shade issues on the panels.

‘I didn’t like doing it,’ he said, ‘but I was told it would be better for the system.’

Ingenero systems offer great peace of mind with their extended warranties and solar designers who know what they are doing, ensuring you maximise your returns on your solar investment.

Ingenero has an industry leading 10+25 year warranty and a plain English 10 year installation guarantee.

Jane Minor's air conditioner runs on free, renewable energy

Alexandra Headland, Qld

As an accountant for the Sunshine Coast Environment Council, Jane Minor knows numbers and the numbers are telling her some great news.

Her Alexandra Headland home is generating guilt-free power – free and renewable energy that will continue to save her money now and into the future.

Backed by Ingenero’s industry leading 10+25 year warranty, the average house with a 1.08Kw system will generate net savings of over $14,000 over the life of the system.

A solar solution is made more enticing with Ingenero’s $0 upfront finance solutions making it even easier to access the world’s best solar technology.

It’s been well-documented that the cost for electricity is rising.

However, those same companies that are charging more for coal fired power are now paying more for the excess energy you produce under the Queensland Government Solar Bonus Scheme.

‘My company [AGL] wrote to say they are increasing the amount from 44c to 52c,’ she said.

‘I don’t have to feel guilty about leaving my air-conditioner on,’ she said, ‘it’s free and it’s renewable.’

Tom & Pam Sheppard received a cheque from their electricity retailer

Golden Beach, Qld

Tom and Pam Sheppard from Golden Beach have had many surprises after Ingenero installed solar power on their roof a year ago – all of them good.

‘There were things we weren’t told about,’ Tom explained, ‘during the summer it actually produced more than we were told.’

Ingenero uses the world's best solar technology, flash-testing each panel to ensure maximum power output, which means more savings for you.

After a three-week holiday Tom said he was happy to come home and find a letter from his electricity company. Inside was a cheque for $67.

By optimizing panel configurations, system orientation and system design, Ingenero’s solar power systems produce more power, meaning lower power bills, higher feed-in tariff credits and a faster route to energy independence.

Tom and Pam are now more conscious of their energy use and have sourced more efficient appliances to elevate their savings.

‘We used to have two fridges,’ Tom explained, ‘but we got rid of the bar fridge and instead got a bigger fridge inside.’

‘It does the job and uses less power.’

‘I’d certainly recommend it to anyone,’ Tom said.

• Energex installed the new meter while we were away on holiday, and when we got back I found we had generated plenty of power.

Needless to say, we’re very happy with the system. - John D, Brisbane
