The business people search for under this name is SolarBright, a solar, battery and skylight company based in Prestons in south-west Sydney that installs across New South Wales. As at November 2026 it holds 4.9 stars from roughly 900 Google reviews, 4.9 from 575 reviews on ProductReview.com.au and 4.8 from 275 ratings on SolarQuotes.

Is Solar Bright any good?
Yes, on the public evidence SolarBright is a good NSW solar and battery retailer, with one of the deeper review records in the state and very few low ratings. As at November 2026 only 2 of its 275 SolarQuotes ratings are below three stars, and its Google score of 4.9 rests on about 900 reviews rather than a few dozen.
That volume matters. In our directory, 571 installers show a perfect 5.0, but 217 of those have fewer than 10 reviews, which is why the five-star problem means a star rating alone tells you little. A 4.9 that has survived 900 reviews and 18 years of trading is harder to fake. The reservations are practical: SolarBright publishes no prices, some reviews name outside electrical contractors, and a few reviewers describe unresolved disputes.
What customers praise
Customers most often praise SolarBright’s sales consultants, its site visits before quoting, and tidy installations. These themes repeat across ProductReview.com.au, SolarQuotes and Solar Choice reviews posted between late 2025 and November 2026.
- Low-pressure sales. Reviewers say consultants explained options and did not push larger systems than they needed.
- In-person site inspections. Several reviewers say SolarBright was the only company among their quotes to visit the property before pricing.
- Clean, punctual installs. Reviews commonly mention crews arriving on time and removing rubbish.
Common Solar Bright complaints
Solar Bright complaints are uncommon and fall into four patterns: installation delays, after-install support, outside contractors and a small number of serious disputes. Negative reviews make up 6% of SolarBright’s ProductReview.com.au reviews as at November 2026.
Delays between deposit and installation. Even positive SolarQuotes reviews mention waits of several weeks between accepting a quote and installation, usually noting the delay was flagged up front. One one-star Solar Choice review from May 2026, from the Port Macquarie postcode, describes repeated changes to the install date and says the matter had gone to court. We could not verify that claim.
Outside contractors and third parties. Reviews on ProductReview.com.au and Solar Choice name separate electrical contracting businesses as the installers on their jobs. Most of those reviews are positive, but the crew on your roof may not be SolarBright employees.
Serious disputes. One ProductReview.com.au reviewer alleges a loss of about A$22,300 and says they engaged a solicitor. This is a single unverified account, we found no court or tribunal record of it, and it should be read as one customer’s claim.
SolarBright replies publicly to some reviews on ProductReview.com.au.
Products and brands Solar Bright installs
SolarBright sells a mid-range to premium line-up built around Max Power Solar panels, Sungrow and SolaX inverters, and Tesla, Sungrow and SolaX batteries, according to its website in November 2026.
Panels. The packages use Max Power Solar all-black dual-glass panels (the company says it has been the exclusive Max Power Solar retailer since 2020) and REC. Reviewers on SolarQuotes also report Seraphim, LONGi, Trina and Hyundai, so ask which model your quote includes.
Inverters. Sungrow, SolaX, Fronius, SMA and SolarEdge are listed. Sungrow is the inverter brand SolarQuotes reviewers mention most often. See our SolaX inverter review for that brand.
Solar Bright battery range. SolarBright lists four battery lines: the Tesla Powerwall 3 and its expansion pack, the Sungrow SBR battery, the Sungrow SBH battery and the SolaX Triple Power. The company describes itself as a Tesla Certified Powerwall Installer.
Solar Bright prices
SolarBright’s prices are not published. As at November 2026 its package pages show approximate rebate and incentive totals, not what you pay.
The table below shows SolarBright’s advertised packages and the headline figure attached to each, read from its solar and battery packages page in November 2026.
| Advertised package | What is included | Headline figure shown | Installed price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy Independence Package | 13.2 kW solar (30 panels) plus Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5 kWh) | “Over $9,300” in rebates and incentives | Not published |
| Tesla 27 kWh battery deal | Tesla Powerwall 3 plus expansion pack (27 kWh) | “Over $7,850” in rebates and incentives | Not published |
| 15.3 kWh battery plus 13.2 kW solar | SolaX 15.3 kWh battery and 13.2 kW solar | “Over $9,550” in rebates and incentives | Not published |
These headline figures are discounts, not prices. The fine print says they are approximate and combine federal Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), tradeable certificates whose value is taken off your quote, with a retailer discount. The federal battery discount also steps down on 1 January 2027, so ask for the figure that applies on your install date.
The only price evidence is what customers report: SolarQuotes shows a reviewer-reported range of A$5,500 to A$8,000 for 6.6 kW solar, ProductReview.com.au an average purchase price of about A$7,358, and SolarQuotes reviewers selected A$12,500 to A$15,000 for a Tesla Powerwall 3 install (November 2026). These are self-reported, not quotes.
SolarBright’s terms exclude main switchboard upgrades, structural changes and extra electrical work unless written into the proposal. Our guide on how to compare solar quotes explains how to line up inclusions.
Warranty and after-sales support
SolarBright guarantees its workmanship, and the operation and performance of the system, for 10 years from installation, according to version 10 of its terms and conditions read in November 2026. The guarantee covers work done by its contractors as well as its own staff, and the terms say SolarBright remains liable for subcontracted work.
The terms say the target install date is not a deadline, but clause 7.7 lets you cancel with a refund if installation has not happened within 10 weeks after the original target date.
A workmanship warranty is only as good as the company behind it. If any installer stops trading, its workmanship warranty generally ends, and you fall back on manufacturer warranties and Australian Consumer Law rights. Our solar company failures tracker explains what happens next.
Company background
SolarBright began in 2008 as a skylight manufacturer and solar retailer, according to its website, and installed its first solar system the same year. The company says it became a Tesla Powerwall installer in 2017 and opened its Port Macquarie branch in 2018.
Legal entity. The current terms name Clean Energy Products Pty Ltd, ABN 22 631 911 218, active from 26 February 2019. An older ABN still on SolarBright’s Solar Choice profile, 48 609 209 092, belongs to Energy Saving Products Pty. Ltd., cancelled from 30 June 2024 per ABN Lookup. If you bought before mid-2024, ask SolarBright in writing which entity honours your warranty.
Regulatory record. We found no public enforcement action against SolarBright or Clean Energy Products Pty Ltd as at November 2026.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SolarBright | Prestons and Port Macquarie | 4.9 from 907 reviews | 10 years | Max Power Solar, Sungrow, SolaX, Tesla | South-west Sydney and Mid North Coast buyers who want a showroom and a site visit |
| PSC Energy (Penrith Solar Centre) | Jamisontown | 4.9 from 765 reviews | 10 years, per the company | Enphase, Tesla, Sigenergy | Buyers who want directly employed installers |

Who Solar Bright suits, and who should look elsewhere
SolarBright suits NSW households who value a long trading history, a physical showroom and an in-person site inspection over the lowest price. It is a natural shortlist entry in south-west Sydney, on the Mid North Coast around Port Macquarie, and for buyers set on a Tesla Powerwall 3, Sungrow or SolaX battery.
Look elsewhere if you are outside NSW, since SolarBright does not sell solar or batteries in other states. Buyers who insist on directly employed installers, or who want published prices, should compare other companies. SolarBright itself says it does not aim to be the cheapest.
