Testimonials

  • Gerard Maloney, Swan HillGerard Maloney, Swan Hill6.6kW solar power system

    “I chose to go through the Mallee Sun Solar Bulk Buy because I don’t know much about solar and I liked the fact that it is backed by Council. I also like that there is a give-back to local community groups in the form of free solar.”

  • Faye and Maxwell Palmer, NyahFaye and Maxwell Palmer, Nyah5.28kW solar power system

    "We were impressed with the installers, how quickly they worked and their attention to detail. Now we are ready for the summer. We’ll be able to use the air conditioning and know that our solar is powering it. That’s a great feeling!”

  • David Burton, NyahDavid Burton, NyahTwo solar power systems: General Store -13.2kW, Home - 6.6kW

    "I cannot speak highly enough of Specialized Solar and also the local installers from Gary Schmidt Electrical who did the installation. It’s also good to know that the community will benefit too, through free solar for community groups through the bulk-buy."
