Perth Solar Force is a legitimate Western Australian solar and battery retailer based in Wangara, with strong public ratings: 4.8 stars from 617 Google reviews and 4.4 stars from 31 ProductReview.com.au reviews, as at 14 November 2026. Its Solar Cobber directory page lists the same business. The main complaints are rare but follow a pattern: office communication after an install, and one serious installation dispute.
This guide covers the Perth Solar Force at 17 Niche Parade, Wangara (not Perth Solar Group, Perth Solar Direct or Perth Solar Power Installations, which are separate businesses). It is independent desk research. We did not contact the company and it did not pay to be reviewed.

Is Perth Solar Force any good?
On the public evidence, yes: Perth Solar Force is a large, established WA retailer with a high Google rating on a very large review count, in-house electricians, and the longest workmanship warranty in our Perth comparison. Its weak spots are the ones common to every high-volume installer: occasional office communication gaps and a handful of serious disputes, which at this scale are inevitable.
Two cautions apply. First, a 4.8 on Google is typical for WA, not exceptional: our directory data shows the 158 rated Western Australian companies average 4.78 stars (Solar Cobber directory data, November 2026). What sets Perth Solar Force apart is volume. Its 617 Google reviews are about 4.8 times the WA average of 129. Second, a high star rating alone means little, so judge the quote, the equipment and the paperwork, not just the stars.
Solar Cobber calculation: 617 reviews divided by the WA average of 129 reviews per rated company gives 4.8. The chart below shows where that volume sits among Perth peers.

| Perth Solar Warehouse | 981 |
| Koala Solar | 640 |
| Perth Solar Force | 617 |
| Positive Energy Solutions | 469 |
| Solargain | 435 |
Perth Solar Force sits in the middle of the Perth pack for review volume, behind SunBoost Solar, Regen Power and MLEC Solar, but its Google rating (4.8) matches SunBoost and is within 0.1 of most peers at 4.9.
What customers praise
The recurring positives on ProductReview.com.au, where we could read the review text, are install crews that were punctual, tidy and professional, sales staff described as honest and low pressure, and smooth EV charger and battery jobs. Several reviewers name individual installers, and one says the company took over the warranty on an inverter fitted by another installer.
The platform also publishes sub-scores. The chart shows how reviewers rate six aspects out of 5.

View the data as a table
| Rating out of 5 | |
|---|---|
| Installation | 4.7 |
| Job satisfaction | 4.7 |
| Timeliness | 4.7 |
| Customer service | 4.5 |
| Rates and fees | 4.5 |
| Value for money | 4.4 |
Installation, job satisfaction and timeliness score 4.7, while value for money is the lowest at 4.4. That fits the review text: customers say the work was excellent, and one retired builder notes the company was not the cheapest of his quotes.
Common Perth Solar Force complaints
Complaints about Perth Solar Force are few in the reviews we could read, and they cluster in two areas. Because we could not read the full Google review text and Trustpilot blocked our access, these patterns come from ProductReview.com.au alone and should be treated as indicative.
- Office follow-up after an install. One reviewer rated the install team five stars but the office two, after crews had to leave a battery job early before a cyclone and the customer says they waited 14 days and was given different information on each call. The company replied on the platform.
- A serious installation dispute. One reviewer says an installation was faulty enough that their system was shut down. We cannot verify the details or the outcome, and the company response was not visible for that review.
- Value, not quality. The lowest sub-rating is value for money (4.4), and customers who mention price say it was not the cheapest quote.
We found no public enforcement action against Perth Solar Force as at November 2026 (searches of regulator and news results returned nothing). That is not a clean bill of health; WA’s Consumer Protection and the Fair Trading tribunal are where disputes are recorded, and you can check them yourself.
Products and brands Perth Solar Force installs
Perth Solar Force sells a wide mix. The reviews we have published cover several of the products on its range:
- Batteries: Tesla Powerwall 3, Sigenergy SigenStor, Sungrow SBR, BYD Battery-Box Premium and SolarEdge Home Battery.
- Inverters: Fronius GEN24 Plus, GoodWe, SAJ and SMA Sunny Boy.
- Panels: AIKO Neostar, REC Alpha Pure-RX and Jinko Tiger Neo.
SolarEdge buyers, read this. A post on the company’s own site dated 3 November 2026 says SolarEdge has told it that it is ending direct local sales and operations in Australia and New Zealand, with final purchase orders due by 20 November 2026 and deliveries by 18 December 2026, and that existing warranties remain valid. The same post says Perth Solar Force had shifted to other products after stock and support difficulties. Industry press has reported the exit as well. If a quote includes SolarEdge hardware, ask who will service it. Our price guide for solar panels and WA rebate guide cover the alternatives.
Perth Solar Force prices
Perth Solar Force does not publish package prices on the pages we read, and says quotes are tailored after an assessment of bills and the site. ProductReview.com.au shows an “average purchase price” of A$10,966 for Perth Solar Force, but that is reviewer-reported, mixes system types (some include batteries) and has no stated sample size, so it is not comparable with a standard system price.
For context, the Solar Choice Price Index for 1 November 2026 puts a 6 kW system in Perth at A$5,230 and a 10 kW system at A$8,410 after the federal STC discount, the cheapest of any capital city, as we set out in our solar panel cost guide. Use those as a sanity check, not a promise: brand, inverter size and roof type all move the price. Our guide to comparing solar quotes shows what to line up.
Perth Solar Force battery and the WA rebate
Perth Solar Force appears in Plenti’s vendor directory for the WA Residential Battery Scheme as at 14 November 2026, which is a precondition for the state rebate. Here is how the money works for a Synergy customer in Perth, using the figures in our WA solar rebate guide:
| Usable battery size | Federal discount | WA rebate (Synergy) | Combined |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 kWh | A$2,580 to A$2,720 | A$1,300 | A$3,880 to A$4,020 |
| 13.5 kWh | A$3,460 to A$3,640 | A$1,300 | A$4,760 to A$4,940 |
The federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount steps down on 1 January 2027, so timing matters (federal battery rebate guide). The WA rebate also requires a two year virtual power plant (VPP) sign-up. A VPP is a group of home batteries that a retailer can call on together to support the grid (what is a VPP).
One flag: a rebate page on Perth Solar Force’s site dated 3 January 2026 still describes a combined Synergy figure of up to A$5,000. That predates the federal step-down, and our estimate for a 10 kWh battery is about A$4,000 combined. Ask for the rebate as a separate line on your quote and confirm the amount in writing.
On the export side, WA’s Distributed Energy Buyback Scheme (DEBS) pays Synergy customers 10c per kWh from 3pm to 9pm and 2c at other times, against a Synergy A1 usage rate of about 32.37c per kWh, per our WA rebate guide. That gap is why Perth households look at batteries: see the feed-in tariff tracker.
Warranty and after-sales support
Perth Solar Force advertises a 25 year workmanship warranty, and the certificate we read (its terms PDF, checked November 2026) confirms 25 years from the completion date, provided by the Perth, Geraldton and South West Solar Force businesses. It also shows equipment cover is the manufacturer’s, not the retailer’s:
| Component | Term in Perth Solar Force’s certificate |
|---|---|
| Workmanship | 25 years |
| Panel product warranty | Generally 15 to 25 years (manufacturer) |
| Panel performance warranty | Generally 25 years, at least 80% of rated power (manufacturer) |
| Inverter | Generally 5 to 13 years (manufacturer) |
| Battery | Generally 7 to 10 years (manufacturer) |
Read the exclusions. The workmanship warranty excludes damage to decramastic, tile and tin roofs at the owner’s risk, lightning and other force majeure events, unauthorised repairs, and product recalls. A call-out fee can apply if an inspection finds no fault, and the warranty is conditional on complying with payment terms. Your Australian Consumer Law rights sit on top.
The 25 years is only as good as the company lasting 25 years. If the business closes, a workmanship warranty usually goes with it, and only manufacturer warranties survive. See our solar company failures tracker.
The company also offers a “10 year savings guarantee” for systems installed from August 2024: it promises at least A$1,000 a year in savings, or pays the shortfall up to A$1,000, measured by multiplying the system’s kWh generated by the Synergy A1 tariff of 32.3719c per kWh.
Solar Cobber calculation: A$1,000 divided by A$0.323719 per kWh gives 3,089 kWh a year, which is 8.46 kWh a day. A 6.6 kW system in Perth generates about 29.0 kWh a day on average (energy.gov.au figure used in our solar cost guide), or about 10,585 kWh a year. So the guarantee would pay out only if the system produced under 29% of typical output.

| kWh a year | |
|---|---|
| Claim trigger | 3,089 kWh |
| Minimum to qualify | 5,000 kWh |
| Typical 6.6 kW | 10,585 kWh |
The guarantee only covers systems modelled above 5,000 kWh a year, and it excludes export limited systems, shaded roofs, systems not on Wi-Fi, and faults not reported within 5 business days. It is best read as protection against a badly underperforming system, not a promise of A$1,000 savings. It also values every generated kWh at 32.37c, though exports in WA earn 2c to 10c.
How does the workmanship term compare with Perth peers? The chart uses terms published on each company’s website, as collected in our Perth battery installer guide.

| Workmanship warranty (years) | |

| Perth Solar Force | 25 years |
| MLEC Solar | 20 years |
| Positive Energy Solutions | 10 years |
| PSW Energy | 10 years |
| Koala Solar | 10 years |
| Regen Power | 5 years |
| Solargain | 5 years |
Perth Solar Force’s 25 years is five years above the next longest advertised term and five times the shortest, though terms differ in exclusions, so compare the fine print.
Company background
Perth Solar Force began trading under that business name in October 2016. The directors say on the company site that they began as RJB Electrical in 2013 and focused on solar in 2016. The business has since added the registered business names South West Solar Force, Geraldton Solar Force and Solar Force.
It claims it installs about 20 MW a year, employs more than 100 people, and has its own installers and call centre rather than subcontractors. Its site figures are not consistent: the About page says 60+ installs a week and 80 staff, while the home page says 90+ a week and 100 staff. The company also states that SunWiz data ranked it WA’s top volume solar installer and top volume battery installer for 2025 capacity, and that it installed 6.39% of WA’s new solar capacity in 2024. We did not verify the SunWiz data. Those are company claims. We found no public enforcement action against Perth Solar Force as at November 2026.

Who Perth Solar Force suits, and who should look elsewhere
Perth Solar Force suits Perth and regional WA households that want a large local installer with in-house electricians, a long workmanship term and a broad brand choice, and who are happy to compare the quote with at least two others. Its size means scheduling and supply are usually handled in house.
You may want to look elsewhere if you want a published, fixed package price to compare online, if you want a very small or boutique installer, or if you are specifically looking for SolarEdge equipment with local support. Always get three quotes, as our guide to choosing a solar installer explains.
Questions to ask Perth Solar Force before you sign
- Is the quote in writing, with panel, inverter and battery brands and model numbers, and what is the price before and after rebates?
- Is the WA battery rebate shown as a separate line, and what happens to the price if the scheme or the federal discount changes before install?
- Which battery and VPP will I be locked into, and for how long?
- Who holds the 25 year workmanship warranty (which entity), and what happens if that business closes?
- If I am quoted SolarEdge equipment, who services it after the December 2026 delivery cut off?
- What size inverter is included, and will my system be export limited?
- If I choose the 10 year savings guarantee, will my system qualify (inverter size, shading, Wi-Fi)?
- What is the timeframe from signing to switch-on, and who is my contact if the install is delayed?
