Climasolar reviews are strong on headline numbers: 4.8 stars from roughly 1,690 Google reviews and 4.6 stars from 250 ProductReview.com.au reviews, as at November 2026. Climasolar (also written Clima Solar) is a Melbourne-based solar and battery retailer that sells mostly by door-knocking, with offices in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia. Our verdict: installation crews are widely praised, but the door-to-door sales model, unpublished prices and “zero upfront” finance mean you should compare the total cost against two other quotes before signing.
This is independent desk research. Solar Cobber did not contact Climasolar, was not paid by it, and has not used its services. Climasolar is listed in our directory at /companies/climasolar.

Is Climasolar any good?
Climasolar is a real, established installer with a large body of positive reviews, but the way it sells deserves more caution than the star rating suggests. As at November 2026, Climasolar averages 4.8 on Google and 4.6 on ProductReview.com.au, and reviewers on both platforms repeatedly describe punctual, tidy installation crews and follow-up calls after the job.
The weaker points are structural. Climasolar sells by knocking on doors, publishes no prices or product brands, and leads with a finance offer rather than a cash price, which makes value hard to judge from the outside. Several negative reviews say the savings promised at the door did not match later power bills.
A 4.8 average is also close to normal for this industry. Across the 1,222 rated installers in the Solar Cobber directory, 1,095 sit at 4.5 stars or higher, which is why a high star rating alone tells you little.
What customers praise
The most consistent praise for Climasolar is for the people who turn up on installation day. ProductReview.com.au’s own summary of its 250 reviews, read in November 2026, highlights installers described as punctual, efficient, polite and careful about cleaning up.
Two other themes recur across ProductReview.com.au, Trustpilot and SolarQuotes:
- Speed. Reviewers commonly report installation within a few weeks of signing. Climasolar’s website states a goal of two weeks in one place and three weeks in another.
- Follow-up. Many reviewers mention a call from the customer care team soon after installation, and help setting up the monitoring app.
Common Climasolar complaints
Climasolar complaints in public reviews cluster around how the system was sold, not how it was installed. These are patterns in reviews on the named platforms, read in November 2026, and are customers’ accounts rather than established facts.
- Door-to-door pressure. Several ProductReview.com.au reviewers from 2025 and 2026 describe pushy or persistent door-knockers, including one account of a visit after dark in July 2026. A Trustpilot reviewer in April 2026 reported that a consultant did not turn up to a booked appointment.
- Savings that did not match the pitch. A number of ProductReview.com.au reviewers say they were told the system would cover its own repayments or leave them with no bill, then received bills similar to before. One Western Australian reviewer reported a bill of more than A$200 for two months after being told the home would be “bill-proof”.
- Paperwork and connection delays. One Queensland reviewer on ProductReview.com.au says network and retailer paperwork was lodged about three months after signing, which delayed feed-in credits. A SolarQuotes reviewer in November 2023 reported panels on the roof for months without being connected.
Climasolar replies to most negative reviews on ProductReview.com.au. On Trustpilot, the platform’s own notice says the company has not replied to negative reviews.
Products and brands Climasolar installs
Climasolar does not name the panel, inverter or battery brands it installs on the website pages we read in November 2026. The brand and model on your quote is the only reliable guide.
Customer reviews give some indication. On SolarQuotes, a 2026 reviewer reports AE Solar panels with a GoodWe inverter and battery, while reviews from 2019 and 2020 mention Fimer and Fronius inverters. ProductReview.com.au reviewers also mention GoodWe batteries and Jinko panels.
If your quote includes GoodWe equipment, our GoodWe Lynx Home battery review covers the brand’s home battery range.
Does Climasolar install batteries?
Yes. Climasolar sells batteries with new solar and as additions to existing systems, according to its website and 2026 customer reviews. Climasolar publishes no battery models, capacities or prices.
Climasolar prices
Climasolar prices are not published. As at November 2026 the company’s website gives no system prices or example repayments, and says it does not quote over the phone.
The only recent public figure comes from a customer. A ProductReview.com.au reviewer in mid 2026 reported paying A$35,000 for roughly 10 kW of solar and a 25 kWh battery on a double-storey home, including removal of old panels. That is a single data point, not a price list.
What “zero upfront” means
“Zero upfront” means you pay nothing on the day and repay the full system price over time. It is finance, not a discount. Climasolar calls this the ClimaSave Plan, says interest-free options are available, and says it aims to set repayments close to your current power bill.
The website does not name the finance provider, the term, the fees or the total amount repaid. Ask for two numbers in writing: the cash price, and the total of all repayments and fees. Our guide to comparing solar quotes explains how to line these up.
State rebates you could miss
Climasolar says on its website that it applies the federal STC discount at the point of sale but chooses not to work through state rebate programs.
In Victoria, Solar Victoria’s Solar Homes Program pays up to A$1,400 towards solar panels for eligible households, and a rebate is only available through an authorised retailer. Solar Victoria has banned door-to-door sales under that program since 2021. If you qualify under our Victorian solar rebate guide, ask Climasolar whether your installation can claim it.
For Climasolar Perth customers, the WA Residential Battery Scheme offers a rebate and a no-interest loan in return for joining a virtual power plant (VPP), which is a program that lets a retailer draw on your battery at agreed times. Climasolar’s website argues against the scheme. Our WA solar rebate guide sets out the limits on how often your battery can be used.
Warranty and after-sales support
Climasolar states a 15 year installation warranty on its website. It also lists 10 years of inverter cover, described as a factory warranty, and a 30 year panel performance guarantee.
An installation warranty is a promise from the retailer, so it is only as durable as the company. If a retailer stops trading, the workmanship warranty usually ends with it and you rely on the manufacturers’ warranties. Our solar company failures tracker shows how often this happens. Ask for the warranty terms as a document, and check the ABN on the contract matches the entity above.
Company background
Climasolar has traded since 2017 and has grown quickly through area-by-area door-knocking. The company says it has installed systems on more than 7,000 properties and more than 200,000 panels, and that it ranked 21st on the Australian Financial Review Fast 100 list for 2025. We did not independently verify those figures.
Door-to-door sales: your rights
Door-to-door selling is legal in Australia, but it is tightly regulated. The rules below come from the ACCC’s guidance on unsolicited consumer agreements, checked in November 2026.
| Rule | What the ACCC says |
|---|---|
| Permitted visiting hours | Weekdays 9 am to 6 pm, Saturdays 9 am to 5 pm, never Sundays or public holidays |
| Identification | The salesperson must give their name, the business name and address, and the reason for the visit |
| Leaving | The salesperson must leave immediately if asked, and the business cannot return for 30 days |
| Cooling-off period | 10 business days from the first business day after you sign or receive the agreement |
| During cooling-off | The seller cannot supply services or take payment |
| If the rules are broken | The cooling-off period can extend to 3 or 6 months |
A sale that begins with an uninvited knock is generally treated as an unsolicited consumer agreement. Ask Climasolar to confirm in writing that the cooling-off period applies to your contract.
The Consumer Action Law Centre’s March 2025 designated complaint to the ACCC about unsolicited selling quoted Climasolar’s website description of its area-by-area marketing. That document is advocacy about the sales channel, not a finding against Climasolar.
We found no public enforcement action against Climasolar as at November 2026.
Climasolar vs alternatives
This table compares Climasolar with two other large-volume retailers. Ratings for the alternatives are Google ratings as recorded in the Solar Cobber directory, which can lag the live figure. Warranty and brand details are from each company’s homepage, read in November 2026.
| Company | Google rating (reviews) | Stated installation warranty | Brands named publicly | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Climasolar | 4.8 (about 1,690) | 15 years | None published | Buyers who want an in-home consultation and a payment plan |
| Sunboost | 4.7 (6,654) | Not stated on its homepage | Fox ESS batteries | Buyers outside the four states Climasolar serves |
| Solar Naturally | 4.6 (1,497) | Not stated on its homepage | None on its homepage | Perth buyers who want a WA retailer operating since 2008 |

Who Climasolar suits, and who should look elsewhere
Climasolar suits homeowners who want a face-to-face consultation and are comfortable with a repayment plan once they have checked the total cost.
Look elsewhere if you want to see prices and brands before anyone visits, if you plan to pay cash and want the sharpest price, or if you are eligible for a state rebate that Climasolar does not process. Anyone who feels pressured at the door should stop, ask the salesperson to leave, and take time to choose a solar installer on their own terms.
Questions to ask Climasolar before you sign
- What is the cash price for this exact system, and what is the total I will repay under the ClimaSave Plan, including every fee?
- Who is the finance provider, what is the term, and what happens if I miss a payment or sell the house?
- What are the brand and model numbers of the panels, inverter and battery, and can I have the datasheets?
- Which legal entity and ABN is on the contract, and is that entity a New Energy Tech Consumer Code Approved Seller?
- Does the 10 business day cooling-off period apply to my contract, and when will installation be booked relative to it?
- Can this installation claim the state rebate I am eligible for?
- Who lodges the network and retailer paperwork, by what date, and how will I be told it is done?
- Will you put your bill savings estimate in writing, with the usage, tariff and feed-in rate behind it?
FAQ
Is Climasolar legit?
Yes, Climasolar is a legitimate solar retailer that has traded since 2017. The business name is registered to Jeries Holdings Pty Ltd, ABN 71 617 983 132, and it holds a 4.8 star Google rating from roughly 1,690 reviews as at November 2026. Legitimate does not mean good value, so compare its quote with two others.
Who owns Climasolar?
Climasolar is a business name registered to Jeries Holdings Pty Ltd, an Australian private company, according to ABN Lookup in November 2026. The company describes itself as 100% Australian owned and operated.
Is Climasolar CEC approved?
Climasolar states that its installations are carried out by electricians accredited through Solar Accreditation Australia. We found no statement on its website that it is a New Energy Tech Consumer Code Approved Seller. Check the Clean Energy Council’s Approved Seller list and the Solar Accreditation Australia installer register yourself, using the company name and ABN on your contract.
How much does Climasolar charge?
Climasolar does not publish prices as at November 2026. One ProductReview.com.au reviewer in mid 2026 reported paying A$35,000 for about 10 kW of solar and a 25 kWh battery, which is a single example and not a price list.
What are the most common Climasolar complaints?
The most common Climasolar complaints in public reviews are about door-to-door sales pressure, savings that fell short of what was promised, and delays in grid-connection paperwork. These appear mainly on ProductReview.com.au, where 10% of 250 reviews were negative as at November 2026.
Does Climasolar operate in Perth?
Yes, Climasolar lists a Perth office on St Georges Terrace and installs across Western Australia. Perth buyers should check what the WA Residential Battery Scheme would be worth to them before accepting a quote that does not use it.
What happens to my warranty if Climasolar closes?
If Climasolar stopped trading, its 15 year installation warranty would most likely no longer be honoured. Manufacturer warranties on panels, inverters and batteries would continue, provided the manufacturers still operate in Australia.
