One of the Solar Guide founders Warwick also runs a solar market analytics company, which tracks every single solar installation in Australia, all 2.3 million of them and counting! And recently he analysed which solar companies once sold systems, but no longer exist.

What he found startled everyone at Solar Guide:

Get this, 50% of Australia’s solar power systems were sold by solar companies that no longer exist! They’ve closed their doors, gone out of business. Leaving customers stranded if anything goes wrong.

We call these ‘orphaned’ solar systems. Most of these were installed more than five years ago.

Our analysis shows that the overwhelming majority of reputable solar companies are still operating.

The businesses that have gone out of business are the dodgy solar companies. Typically their shoddy installations and poor-quality equipment caught up with them, leading to shocking customer service that ultimately hurt their reputation to the point where they couldn’t sell anymore, and they shut up shop.

That’s another reason you should buy from a reputable solar company.
