Austral Energy Solutions
Jayden spotted and fixed switchboard issues during a battery install that had nothing to do with the quote.
The most useful pattern is name specific. Josh and Grace handle the front end, Lochlan gets flagged for solar fault finding, and Jayden with Zac do a lot of the installs. That points to a stable local crew rather than whoever is free that day. Two reviewers in this sample said they were promised a callback and never got one. That is a real pattern, but it sits against 48 positive reviews, so it is not the norm. The strongest praise covers work that did not even start with a fault. Jayden spotted issues inside a main switchboard during a battery install and fixed them on the spot. If you need a system designed rather than just fitted, ask for Josh on the quote and Lochlan on any solar diagnosis.

About Austral Energy Solutions
Solar, battery, aircon and general electrical. Reviews mention all of those in nearly equal weight, plus EV chargers, switchboard upgrades and light fittings. The team covers a lot of ground without leaning on one specialty. Josh and Grace handle quotes and scheduling. Lochlan gets repeated praise for fault finding, especially around solar problems. Jayden and Zac are the install crew most homeowners name, with Max and Solomon also showing up often as careful tradies and apprentices. Customers keep saying the team explains options in plain language before any work starts. Jobs are quoted, then finished quickly with the site left clean. The local angle matters here. One reviewer said they chose Austral partly because the team is Davenport based, not a Perth outfit that disappears after install. Commercial jobs come up too, clinics and workplaces needing power points or distribution work. This crew suits homeowners who want one electrical company for solar now, then aircon, lighting and odd jobs later.
Best for homeowners wanting a local crew for solar and battery installs, aircon and general electrical work across the same property, and anyone chasing solid fault finding on an existing solar setup.

Does Austral Energy Solutions do emergency or urgent work?+
Reviews show they schedule quickly, with one customer getting an EV charger installed on short notice. There is no stated emergency line, so ringing early and asking for the next available slot is your best bet.
Who should I ask for if I want help designing a solar and battery system?+
Josh is the name that keeps coming up for quotes and system design. Reviews describe him as knowledgeable and good at explaining the difference between cheap gear and gear that actually fits your needs.
What brands do they install?+
The sample reviews mention Jinko solar panels, Sungrow and Fronius inverters, and one customer chose a Sigenergy system with blackout protection. If you have a brand preference, raise it at quote time because one review shows they are open to installing gear they don't usually carry.
Do they only work in Davenport?+
Reviews mention work in Bunbury and surrounding areas, and the team is described as local rather than Perth based. Contact them to confirm whether your job falls inside their service area.
