EXCELLENT Based on 83 reviews Posted on Francois GendronneauFebruary 12, 2026.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Avid Solar team did a wonderful job installing a 7.125 kW PV system at a highly competitive price. I received quotes from six different installers, and Avid Solar was the most affordable—even with a premium Fronius inverter and Wattpilot EV charger included. While most installers proposed a standard North/West orientation using Sigenergy inverters, I wanted to maximize my morning exposure by moving half the panels from the West to the East (since a hill shades my property in the late afternoon). Every other company told me this wasn't possible without upgrading to a much larger, 3-string inverter. Avid Solar was the only team to offer a creative solution using Tigo optimizers. Despite other installers warning me about optimizer reliability, Avid stood by the technology and backed it with a 10-year warranty, making it an easy decision. The installation took just 1.5 days. The team members were friendly professionals who patiently answered all my questions and addressed my concerns. The results speak for themselves: my first power bill was just $40 ($118 for usage minus a $78 feed-in credit), plus I’m getting free fuel for my EV! My only regret is not calling them sooner. Huge thanks to the Avid Solar team!Posted on Raysr NzFebruary 9, 2026.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Super happy with the install and customer services, 15kw installed in 7 hours to offset an EV and a spa. Even on cloudy, rainy days we make more power than we use. Thanks heaps guys.Posted on Mark FosterJanuary 28, 2026.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Avid for your solar install. I obtained four quotes; Avid's was very competitive. Plus, the information provided by Kenan and John was clear, helpful and not at all 'pushy'. The install was completed in around 6 hours thanks to an excellent and efficient team, led by Kenan.Posted on Anthony MargettsJanuary 27, 2026.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
