Karen Hossack first contacted Solar On Electrical in 2014 when she spotted a red light on her solar panel inverter.
“I got out the yellow pages and rang a couple of solar companies and they said they didn't have time to help me,” she said.
“I was frantic, I was in tears and I rang Brooke at Solar On Electrical and he said to me, firstly, calm down.
“Anything red to me is danger, and he said, ‘The house is not going to burn down. Now you must switch off the inverter’.
“And I thought, that’s a dumb statement, as I had no idea how to do that and I said, ‘How, I’ll have no electricity?
“And he said, ‘I will talk you through it.
“So, he did.”
Solar On Electrical owner Brooke Coghlan, a veteran electrician with more than 30 years’ experience, walked Mrs Hossack through the immediate issue and assisted her in lodging an insurance claim for the faulty inverter.
When Karen’s original panels started deteriorating two and a half years ago, Solar On Electrical helped her upgrade to a new system with batteries.
The Solar On Electrical team walked Karen through all her options, including replacing the solar panels only, upgrading the system to install a battery and the best power plan tariffs for her.
“Since the batteries went in, my total expenditure for electricity last year, out of pocket, was $289.29,” she said.
“I am a one-person household, there is just me and the cat now, but I am doing a lot better than other friends in a similar situation who have just got panels and no battery.”
Since its establishment in 2013, Solar On Electrical has expanded from two tradespeople to six staff members, delivering solar installations and general electrical services across the Echuca region.

“I would highly recommend them and I don't allow anybody else to touch my solar panels, but Solar On Electrical,” Karen said.
“The battery stores the power, so that pretty much in the afternoon, when my electricity goes to that higher tariff, peak tariff, my house is using my power stored in the battery.
Since installing the battery, Karen has electrified her home, with reverse-cycle ducted heating, new electric oven and hot water heat pump, cancelling her gas account and saving $200 every two months on the gas bill.
“I highly recommend Solar On Electrical and I just tell everyone, if they are looking for solar panels to talk to Brooke,” she said.
“Talk to them about the pros and cons and they clean my solar panels every year as well, so I don’t have to worry.”
