  When needing a company to review my solar system Solar Water Wind came out and assessed the performance. A written report was provided which was submitted to insurance for a claim. Once approval received replacement system installed and old panels removed. Overall can’t rate the team here highly enough from the start to the end.
Thanks everyone at Solar Water Wind

  I liked the sound of these guys from the website. So I called and Lloyd was most responsive. Dale visited a few days later and checked our 36 panel system throughly. We did not have any issues, but amazingly there was no charge. I tried to gift Dale some premium beers but he declined. These people are seriously good and I will be back for a solar service anytime.
