Operasolar energy
Andy prepares multiple quotes and walks customers through the trade-offs before anything goes on the roof.
The pattern here is Andy selling by explaining, not pushing. He puts together several quotes for a job, walks through the trade-offs of each option, and responds to follow-up questions after hours. Customers who describe themselves as novices, or who had been confused by other companies, say he made the decision straightforward. The installers get named praise for neat cabling, finishing fast, and leaving nothing behind when they go. One job jumped from quote to a completed 7am-to-1pm install the next week, and several others beat a fortnight. If I had a tricky roof, a battery I wanted backed up properly, or no patience for high-pressure sales, this is who I would call.

About Operasolar energy
Andy runs this show and does the quoting and system design himself, while his installers handle the roof work. Multiple customers mention being talked through several system options before they chose one, which helps when you are new to solar. The crew is a regular one. Allan, Brian, Cam, Nick, Chris and David all get named for tidy installs and finishing on schedule. Batteries are a big part of what they do, not an add-on afterthought. One homeowner's battery kept the fridge, lights and selected power points running during an outage. Another had a storm-related battery fault fixed within an hour of calling Andy. If your roof or property is awkward, it is worth a conversation. One reviewer put 17 panels on a townhouse after other companies said it could not be done. Several jobs went from accepted quote to finished install within one to two weeks.
Best for: solar plus battery packages, awkward residential roof or townhouse installs, and homeowners who want multiple explained options before committing.

Does Opera Solar Energy install batteries as well as panels?+
Yes, batteries are a central part of the business. Reviews mention household setups like a 33.28kWh battery with hybrid inverter and a 16kW backup battery. Several customers have come back years after their panel install to have a battery added.
How quickly can Opera Solar Energy get a job done?+
Some customers had their installation booked and completed within a week or two of accepting a quote. A few single-day installs appear in the reviews. Larger jobs with batteries and extra complexity may take longer, so confirm timing at quote stage.
Who will be doing the actual installation work?+
Andy handles system design and quoting. Named installers include Allan, Brian, Cam, Nick, Chris, David and their teams, who are consistently mentioned for neat work and leaving the site clean. Ask who is scheduled for your job when you book.
Does Opera Solar Energy help with smart meter and rebate paperwork?+
Yes. Reviews mention Andy organising smart meter upgrades with energy retailers and helping customers take advantage of available rebates. Atul from the accounting team is also mentioned for getting documentation sorted promptly.
Can they handle difficult roofs or tight townhouse spaces?+
They appear willing to try harder installations. One review describes them fitting 17 panels on a townhouse after other companies said it could not be done. A terracotta roof job was more complicated than first quoted, so ask for a proper site assessment up front.
