Scott Burke Solar & Electrical
The installer who visits your roof before quoting — even 50km out of Bundaberg.
Scott Burke is GST-registered, operates as a company with around 12 years of trading history, and is categorised as a licensed electrician, meaning the solar installation work sits under qualified electrical credentials rather than a solar-only certificate. Customers who've dealt with the business across multiple years — returning for battery additions, system upgrades, and warranty support — describe the same experience each time, which is a more reliable signal than any single five-star review. If you're comparing quotes, reviewers note pricing is competitive but not always the cheapest; the value case is in the site visit, the install quality (independently validated by an Ergon inspector in one review), and the ongoing support.

About Scott Burke Solar & Electrical
Scott Burke leads a local Bundaberg team that goes well beyond standard solar panel fitting — their work spans grid-connected and off-grid systems, hybrid setups, battery storage (including Tesla Powerwall 3 and Sigenergy), EV wall chargers, and system health checks on ageing installations. Scott himself is known for visiting properties in person before quoting, even those 50km from Bundaberg, to assess roof placement and check existing cabling — a step that saved at least one customer thousands by identifying usable underground wiring competitors wanted to replace. Britta handles the admin and quoting side with the same attention clients praise Scott for, while office staff Kellie and the broader install crew (including Ben, who earned a specific shout-out for installation quality) are consistently noted for punctuality, methodical clean-up, and leaving sites tidier than they found them. Scott's post-install routine includes walking customers through monitoring apps and simulating power outages to demonstrate battery backup behaviour — particularly useful for households that want automatic blackout protection. The team handles repeat customers across years, including warranty claims and system upgrades, and the Ergon inspector quote from one review — "among the best he had seen" — gives a useful third-party benchmark on installation quality. They're best suited to homeowners who want a single local contact for the full journey from quote to grid connection, and who are willing to wait for availability in exchange for that level of service.
Best for: homeowners wanting a full-service local installer for complex solar-plus-battery setups, rural properties that need an in-person site assessment before quoting, households prioritising blackout backup capability, and customers planning to expand their system over time.

Does Scott Burke Solar & Electrical service properties outside Bundaberg?+
Yes — multiple reviews confirm the team travels to rural properties, with one customer specifically noting Scott visited their property 50km from Bundaberg in person before quoting, while other installers only used Google Earth. Reviews don't specify an exact service radius, so if you're further out, it's worth calling to confirm availability for your location.
What battery and solar brands does Scott Burke install?+
Reviews name Tesla Powerwall 3, Tesla Wall Connectors, and Sigenergy systems as installations the team has completed. Customers describe being directed to brands they had independently researched as the right choice, which suggests the product recommendations align with quality rather than margin. Scott is described as explaining the pros and cons of different systems based on your specific energy usage before any commitment.
What do customers say about pricing?+
The feedback is that pricing is competitive but not necessarily the cheapest — one reviewer noted they couldn't say if Scott was the cheapest but had no hesitation recommending the quality. Another said pricing was very reasonable for the level of service. Several customers received multiple quotes from other providers before choosing Scott Burke, which suggests the pricing holds up to comparison even if it doesn't always come in lowest.
How does the installation process work from quote to switch-on?+
Scott typically visits the property in person to assess roof placement and existing electrical infrastructure before quoting, then provides written options at different price points. Office staff (Kellie and Britta are named in reviews) keep customers updated throughout the process. On installation day, the crew arrives within the quoted time window, minimises power disconnection, and completes a full site clean before leaving. Post-install, Scott or his team walks customers through the monitoring app and can simulate a power outage to demonstrate battery backup.
Does Scott Burke offer ongoing support after installation?+
Several reviews mention support well after installation — one customer had a monitoring issue resolved within 24 hours at no charge five years after the original install, and another notes Scott was still answering questions about app features and EV charging options after handover. The team also handles warranty claims, with at least one reviewer describing a Tesla OEM fault managed quickly and with minimal fuss. This after-sales track record is one of the reasons repeat customers return for upgrades.
