Who actually owns the solar company quoting you?

No, deliberately. We get paid when a partner installer fits a system, so any score we published about a company we might compete with would be worth exactly nothing to you. What we can do without a conflict is show you the public record: the legal entity behind the brand, the ABN, how long it has been registered, and every name it trades under. Judgements about install quality are better sourced from platforms carrying thousands of real customer reviews.

Every record comes from the Australian Business Register (abr.business.gov.au), a free public register maintained by the Australian Government. We retrieved this set on 3 August 2026. We do not edit the records, add scores, or infer anything the register does not state. Each profile links to the live ABR entry so you can check it yourself.

Two reasons. If we could not find a registration whose name clearly matches the brand, we leave the company out rather than publish a page implying we found nothing, because that reads as an accusation when it is really just a name-matching miss. We also leave out sole traders. The register lists those under the individual's own name, and a page about a named private person is a different thing from a page about a company, so we do not publish them. Plenty of excellent installers are sole traders; being absent from this list says nothing about anyone.

No, and this trips people up constantly. Australian business names are not exclusive, so unrelated operators can hold near-identical names, and a single company can register a dozen trading names on one ABN. The only reliable identifier is the ABN itself. That is why we list every matching registration rather than picking one: so you can match the exact ABN on your quote to a real entity before you pay anything.

Usually because the brand is a registered trading name sitting on a differently named legal entity, which is normal and lawful. Of the 180 companies listed here, 94 trade under a name that does not match their legal entity. It matters because your workmanship warranty is with the legal entity, not the brand, so that is the name you would need if you ever had to chase a claim.
