What People Are Saying

“I want to thank you for the excellent job you did installing my solar power plant.

Your level of expertise really impressed me especially when you installed the solar panels onto the south shed, the way you fixed them to the roof also showed a great level of care and pride in your work.

I would highly recommend you to anyone who is wanting to install a solar system.”

“My husband and I have known Trevor Robotham of 6 Malabar Crescent, Eltham for the past 8 months. We initially contacted Trevor to inquire about installation of a stand alone solar system on a new home. From this initial contact I have found Trevor to be very well informed about the solar industry, its products and installation requirements. I felt confident from the outset that Trevor would provide us with a system that would be efficient, reliable and dependent – the system is all of this and more. With the final product Trevor has gone above and beyond of what any normal tradesman would do. His workmanship is exceptional, he has obvious pride in his work as all aspects of the job was to such a high standard that even the electrical inspector made reference to the quality of the finished product.
As a new person to solar I found Trevor very calm and patient to my never ending questions and queries. He was only too happy for me to contact him via phone or email at any time including weekends. This flexibility created a positive partnership which was and still is appreciated by our whole family. Trevor was honest, friendly, clear and concise and I noted that nothing was ever too much trouble for him. Trevor was in fortnightly contact with us post installation and completed all paperwork requirements for the RECS claim; an aspect of the installation which was not a requirement however was fulfilled by him.
Finally, I wish Trevor all the very best in his business and am extremely grateful to him for his knowledge, expertise and professionalism.”

“Trevor Robotham has recently installed a complete off-grid solar electricity system to my new house on French Island.

He has done a terrific job under sometimes difficult circumstances, from providing an accurate quote, assisting me with the complicated government solar rebate application, to dismantling the old system, ordering and purchasing new equipment and installing it. He provided me with a good, useable back-up system to power my house in the time that the new system was being installed, so that I would not be inconvenienced while the work was completed.

His work is flawless and at all times working on site his work was professional, tidy and cheerful. He kept me informed at every stage of the job, either by email or phone, when he was not on site. He is intelligent and clever in problem solving. He often worked long hours and always ensured that the work was done to the highest possible standard. He is a perfectionist and cares for his work

I have no hesitation in recommending Trevor’s work. ”

“We would like to acknowledge the professional work carried out by Trevor Robotham of French Island Energy, with respect to the supply and installation of a range of solar equipment and accessories at Wildhaven, St Andrews.

Trevor’s work was of the highest standard and his professionalism was beyond question as evidenced by the problem-free inspection and certification of the installation. We now have a stand-alone solar system producing 6000w of power to our new home. All the equipment installed by Trevor (including a 13KVA generator, batteries, inverter, regulator and solar panels) works beautifully. The house itself, which was only recently completed, was built entirely using our solar-generated power and the numerous trades people involved were very impressed with the system’s performance.

On a personal note, we found Trevor to be a very friendly and easy-going person who was always happy to explain what was happening during the process and went to great pains to keep us informed at all times. We have recommended Trevor to a number of friends who are contemplating installing solar power and we will happily continue to do so.”

“I have known Trevor Robotham for around 15 years in my capacity as Sales Manager at Selectronic Australia and Solar Energy Australia. During this time Trevor has been a regular installer of our inverter equipment and has attained his Accreditation to our product installation standards. I have always found Trevor to be willing to go the extra mile for customers, often at his own expense. We have not had any customer complaints about Trevor’s work.
I have also used Trevor in a professional capacity to install my own solar system this January. I found Trevor’s work to be very thorough and neat. I have no hesitations to recommend him to install any solar system.”

“My name is David Tolliday and I am the Senior Renewable Energy Instructor at Holmesglen TAFE and the owner of solar consultants Save Energy Solutions

I first met Trevor Robotham in 2008 while I was studying renewable energy at Swinburne Hawthorn Campus. Trevor was one of the off-grid power system instructors for our course. His expertise is small wind and off-grid power systems.

Over the years I have known Trevor, I have used him regularly as an industry expert in my training courses at Holmesglen Renewable Energy Centre of Excellence in Moorabbin. Trevor is highly regarded in the off-grid/small wind industry. As well as working with Holmesglen, I know Trevor has consulted to and work with RENEW (formally ATA) on renewable energy research projects

I have used Trevor’s projects as case studies for the students and organised field trips to showcase Trevor’s work. Trevor always presents well to the students and the students really appreciate his in-depth knowledge and experience of off-grid power systems. All the system owners that we visited spoke highly of Trevor and his knowledge.

Trevor and I are Committee members of the SEIA Vic (Solar Energy Installers Association), and his input at meetings is well regarded.”
