Expert Electrical Tasmania
A retired electrician praised their cable runs and terminations — rare feedback that points to genuine installation craft.
From the 50 reviews analysed, named staff appear repeatedly in a specific way: Calum for ongoing support and battery education, Tony and Carson for financing navigation, and Jake's crew for the physical install quality. One review in the sample raised a more difficult experience involving communication gaps and hardware issues that took several weeks to resolve — it's worth knowing that when problems arose, the reviewer found follow-through slower than the initial sales process. That said, a separate reviewer noted that when a warranty hardware issue emerged, the team upgraded them to better products at no cost, which suggests outcomes on post-install problems vary. If you're planning a complex install — multiple buildings, off-grid, or a battery integration — ask them directly about their project communication process and who your point of contact is if something needs resolving after the job.

About Expert Electrical Tasmania
Expert Electrical Tasmania specialises in residential solar and battery system installations across greater Tasmania, including remote and island locations like Bruny Island — several reviewers note they priced these jobs fairly where competitors added a 'location surcharge.' The team is led by named staff across sales and operations: Calum handles client relationships and post-install support, and is praised specifically for patience with customers new to solar technology; Tony and Carson manage quoting and finance guidance, including navigating Tasmania's interest-free green loans scheme; and installation crews led by Jake are repeatedly called out for efficiency, workmanship quality, and thorough clean-up. Their approach leans heavily on in-person site visits before quoting — something that distinguishes them from competitors who quote remotely — and they handle all network approvals and rebate paperwork on the customer's behalf. Beyond standard grid-tied solar, they've completed off-grid shed systems, large farm setups, EV charger installs, switchboard upgrades alongside solar, and Tesla Powerwall and Sonnen battery integrations, making them a fit for homeowners wanting a more complex or complete energy setup rather than a basic panel-only job. One reviewer — a retired electrician — specifically praised the cable runs, conduit work, and termination quality, which gives technically-minded homeowners a useful benchmark.
Best for: full solar-plus-battery system installs including Tesla Powerwall, remote or island properties where other installers add location fees, homeowners wanting all grid paperwork and rebate applications handled, and complex jobs combining EV chargers or switchboard upgrades with solar.

What areas does Expert Electrical Tasmania cover?+
They're based in Derwent Park and primarily serve greater Hobart and surrounds, but reviews confirm they travel significantly further — including a 32-panel job near Launceston airport and an installation on Bruny Island. One Bruny Island customer specifically noted that Expert Electrical priced the job fairly while other providers added a hefty location surcharge. If you're outside Hobart, it's worth calling to confirm travel costs upfront, but the pattern suggests they don't automatically price-gouge regional jobs.
Do they handle solar finance and government rebates?+
Yes — multiple reviewers specifically mention Tony and Carson helping them navigate Tasmania's interest-free green loans scheme, with one customer describing it as 'very simple and swift' and using it to fund a larger system than originally budgeted. They also handle all TasNetworks grid connection approvals and STCs (small-scale technology certificates) paperwork in-house, so you're not chasing government forms yourself. This is one of the more consistently praised parts of their service.
What battery systems do they install?+
Reviews mention Tesla Powerwall 3, Sonnen batteries, and other unnamed battery brands across multiple installs. One reviewer described their battery as 'one of the nicer ones on the market,' suggesting they stock premium options rather than entry-level products. If you have a preference for a specific battery brand, it's worth confirming availability at the quote stage — reviews suggest they're flexible about accommodating customer preferences on components.
How long does a typical solar installation take?+
For standard residential systems, most reviewers describe the full install — panels, inverter, battery, app setup, and clean-up — being completed in a single day. Larger jobs like a 32-panel dual-building system with batteries, two switchboard modifications, and commissioning were completed in under eight hours according to one detailed review. Installers typically arrive early (around 7:00–7:30am) and are off-site by mid-afternoon.
What happens if there's a problem after installation?+
Post-install support varies in the reviews. Several customers praise Calum for fast responses to questions and system queries, and one reviewer had a faulty hardware component upgraded at no cost after a warranty issue. However, one customer described a more difficult experience with communication gaps and slow resolution of hardware faults over several weeks. If your system involves complex components or battery storage, it's worth asking at the quote stage who your dedicated point of contact is for post-installation issues and what the escalation process looks like.
