Right from our first meeting we were given all the guidance and information we needed to make an informed decision on a solar system. Great to deal with a local Mount Gambier business.

What locals say
Trusted across Mount Gambier
Real 5-star Google reviews from across the Limestone Coast.
Jess originally installed my solar system 7 years ago and it has been running reliably ever since. Last year I went back to add a battery and backup power, and once again the experience was excellent. Highly recommend.
Jess is fantastic. He installed my solar panels with great and friendly service. He also helped me with other electrical jobs, which ended up better than I had asked for. Can highly recommend.
No hard sell tactics or time wasting. Jess is the only person you deal with and he is always contactable. I would not hesitate to use him again on anything solar, and he is my first call for an electrician now.
Jess and his team went above and beyond on the day of installing my new solar system. If you need a solar system I highly recommend JC Solar and Electrical.
The company did a great job installing the solar panels and the inverter. No hassles, easy-going and good attention to detail. My house was in the country and there was no problem with the distance. Highly recommend.
Took the sun from my roof and put it in my power points, what more can you ask for! Installed a battery for when it does not. Highly recommend!
Honest, knowledgeable, respectful. Jess reviewed our electricity use and provided three different solar options suitable for our family and roof. There was no oversell, and he managed all the paperwork for the government rebates. We are extremely satisfied.
Good to know
Hiring an electrician in Mount Gambier, answered
Most electricians in regional South Australia bill an hourly rate plus a call-out fee, and the total depends on how long the job runs. We price differently: after a quick look at the job you get one fixed quote up front, and that is the number you pay. Quotes are free.
Check three things: a current SA electrical contractor licence, insurance ($20M public liability is the standard we carry), and reviews from locals. Then ask whether the price is fixed before work starts. That is where most bill shock comes from.
No. You get one fixed quote up front and that is the number you pay, no separate call-out fee and no hourly surprises. Quotes are free.
Yes. We're an SAA-accredited solar and battery installer as well as a licensed electrical contractor, so one local team covers your whole switchboard-to-rooftop picture, with federal rebates applied to solar and battery quotes up front.
Mount Gambier is home base and we cover roughly 150km around it. Millicent, Naracoorte, Penola, Port MacDonnell and the whole Limestone Coast, plus Portland, Casterton, Heywood and the South-West Victoria border towns.
