Paul was true to his word in regard to price and installation appointments. It was a pleasure to do business with a happy and helpful tradesman who took the time to explain the in and outs of installation. When further advice was sought he was quick to respond. I recommend Paul to anyone considering installing solar power. He deserves 5 stars.

I was pleased with Paul and been approachable in his professional knowledge in solar panels and inverters in helping me decide and make the right choice of panels and inverter.
Would highly recommend him.
Thanks Paul, job well done.

Just wanted to let every one looking to put solor panels on their house to use Solar Conections .
Paul Ruff who owns the company comes out to your house on time for the Quote.

He goes above and beyond and comes across as a person off very good character and integrity

The instillation went very smoothly on the day and even after the system was up and running , Paul came back two months down the track to check on the system.

The system has already pushed our bill so far to a saving of over halved.

I highly recommend Solor connections.

I never met Paul before the job.

I had a bad experience with one of the larger Solar companies.
Paul at Solar Connections was extremely helpful and from our first phone call and still ongoing, Paul has explained and answered all my questions. He was priced competitively and compared to my dealings with the larger company, I felt confident with him at all times.
My whole experience with Solar Connections has been positive.
I would definitely recommend Solar Connections to anyone considering installing solar. Stick with the local company. Workman ship and speed of installation was great.

I compared numbers of quotes and quality of products in 2015, choosing Paul to install 5kw of solar. I was impressed again by his service and the thoroughness of his recommendations - looking at all aspects of the "outcomes". I was very comfortable calling him - again - late 2016 to install more solar panels. A very practical, down-to-earth tradie - who "knows his stuff".

Paul from Solar Connections installed our first solar system approx. 6 years ago and our upgrade last Christmas. Had no hesitation in returning to Paul for our second system. Great service and very competitive pricing for quality products. Always available to talk to when questions arise for any after sales issues.

Paul was very clear in his explanations of the options and very flexible in negotiating the best combinations of panels and inverter. The price was competitive and he used only proven quality products. The installation went smoothly and the electrician came promptly after installation.
This is our second time of using Paul. In our previous house we had a 7kw system and, over 9 years had virtually no problems with it. Overall, we are very happy with the outcome at this, our new home - another 7kW system. We look forward to another 10 years of satisfying solar savings +.

Paul from Solar Connections installed our 5.2Kwh solar system with battery backup. Paul's prices were very competitive, we found him both reliable and punctual, and a competent and neat tradesman. We also employ him for any other electrical work because of his reliability. We have just purchased another property and solar is on the list for installation, we will not be looking anywhere else. We highly recommend his services.

Paul took the time to sit down and go over the options available for a solar energy system. We installed a 5kW system. The installation was done the date booked and without a hitch. Highly recommended.

Installation and connection of a 5Kw Solar system. We have a double story house and this was no problem to Paul and his crew. Paul gave detailed explanations of the system and returned to help with the Bluetooth connection to the inverter. One small problem with our telephone connection was solved without fuss.

I would highly recommend Paul Ruff from Solar Connections.
In May of this year I arranged with Paul to give me a quote for Solar Panels. Paul was extremely helpful with what I needed to know and professional at all times. I am on a pension so Paul offered up a financial plan with my quote that I could afford which I was very impressed with.
Paul and his team completed the work in the time frame stated and left everything tidy and clean. They were very friendly and efficient and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Paul and his team to anyone.
I used to own a roofing company for approx 20 years and so am familiar with having dealings with various tradesmen. Paul is by far the most professional I have dealt with and he also goes out of his way to help.
Since having my solar panels connected I have received my first electricity bill and I have to say I am extremely happy with it. Not often you can say that about a bill. So, thank you Paul and team.

Solar panel installation - Paul was prompt, courteous and could not be faulted. The job was finished in the timeframe given, and he presented as tidy, efficient and knowledgable about what he was doing. His team also reflect this, and could not be faulted. I would highly recommend Paul and his team to anyone. I will not hesitate to have Paul back for any future installations, and know he is reliable if I ever need repairs or questions answered.

We would recommend Solar connections. Prior to installation Paul explained everything to us and followed it up with a detailed email. I was happy with the price as he did match the competitor but did not compromise with the quality of his work.
He was prompt, efficient and all debrie removed from the site.

On the 04 April 2012 I contacted Solar Connections after seeing their ad in the Gazette. That afternoon Paul came over and conducted an extensive site survey.

After careful consideration, I chose a 3kw system but upgraded to a 4kw Sunny Boy inverter. I chose this inverter mainly due to its quality of build and the ability to expand my system at a later date.

The next day I signed the contract and paid my 10% deposit. Five days later, 16 panels were installed and the next day the inverter was installed and system was operating.

My professional background is in the electronics field. I am very happy with the installation and the professionalism of Paul Ruff and his installation team. The installation was neat and no damage was done to the roof tiles. The site was left in a clean state.

I have recommended Solar Connections to two neighbors, both of which have placed orders. I have no hesitation of recommending Solar Connections to others.

Len, Winmalee
