  James from Solar 247 was amazing to deal with throughout the entire process really communicative about what we needed and our budget.
He was upfront with all of the pricing and we think we got the best system for our off grid setup, its super easy to use and we are very impressed with the efficiency of our solar system.
We would recommend to everyone and have already passed his information on to people looking at adding solar in our area.

Thanks heaps for all of your help, Bree & Kelly
