HAPPY SOLAR CUSTOMERS

Lightforce have been great!

Kyle (the sales rep), along with Mitchel and Ryan (the installers) were all super friendly and exceedingly knowledgeable!

Installing solar is a big undertaking that involves multiple different companies and throughout the entire process, Lightforce have been available, communicative and a pleasure to deal with at every step!

Would definitely recommend!
From initial contact to installation Lightforce Solar exceeded expectations. Javan the salesperson was excellent and Craig the installer worked well with the builders. Craig managed a few visits to pre wire when the ceiling was down which made the job easier. Ran into Craig on the ferry from Picton and had a good chat about solar. I highly recommend Lightforce as they are truely professional.
Have had a Lightforce Solar install at my residence in Lower Hutt and couldn't be happier with the outcome.

The whole team from Ryan, the Ops Manager, Mitch, the onsite electrician and the young men doing the hot heavy mahi on the roof were all wonderful. Hardworking, knowledgeable, friendly and genuinely cared about the solar energy product being installed. A very tidy, nice looking job upon completion which usually means a high standard of workmanship. Looking forward to several years of generating my own solar energy.

Well done Lightforce and thanks very much.
A Huge Thank You to the Wellington Installer Team from Lightforce

The Wellington installation team from Lightforce has just completed our installation, and I couldn’t be more impressed! Despite working in windy conditions at height, the team was always friendly, professional, and a pleasure to deal with. They kept me well-informed throughout the process and completed a substantial amount of electrical work to a very high standard.

Led by Ryan, the team delivered a beautifully executed installation and maintained a tidy and organised worksite from start to finish. I’m thrilled with the result and excited for many years of efficient operation. Well done, Lightforce!
It was a pleasure dealing with Lightforce. I was impressed by their professional and thorough approach. Solar is what they do - and we were not dealing with a franchise installer! They walked over the roof with me to discuss the best number and location of our panels, and went out of their way to discuss how the system operated. They staff were friendly, respectful and easy to deal with. Overall I would highly recommend Lightforce for your solar install. Maarten
They have been great, it took a while to get an install date, because they were busy, but the office crew and install crew were really good and their follow-up has been good and positive. Reccomend the 'force.
Quick, easy, and reasonably priced. Even through the dead of winter, it has taken a reasonable chunk off our bills. Looking forward to our first summer with the system in place.
Great team of guys to work with. They worked well with plenty of laughter.
I couldn't be more impressed with my experience with Lightforce Solar. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless, mainly thanks to our fantastic sales rep, Dylan.

Dylan's professionalism and dedication were evident from our first interaction. He was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small or complex, and he responded promptly every time. His knowledge about the products and the solar industry gave me confidence in making informed decisions. Dylan went above and beyond to ensure that I felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process, making what could have been a daunting experience incredibly easy and pleasant.

It's rare to find such a combination of expertise and customer care, and Dylan exemplifies both. I highly recommend Lightforce Solar, not just for their top-quality products and services but also for their outstanding team members who truly make the experience exceptional. Thank you, Lightforce Solar and Dylan, for making the transition to solar energy a positive and rewarding experience!
Great folk, efficient and friendly, turn up when they say. Price and product Great. Very pleased to recommend
