Reviews from real Mackay businesses and homes.
Glenn
Brad and the team installed a 27 kW system on our shed roof in three days. Quote was the third we got and the only one with a payback breakdown I could actually understand. Bill dropped from $1,800 to $340 the first quarter.

Replaced our old 6 kW with a 13 kW plus Tesla battery. Crew were on time every day, cleaned up the site, and walked me through the monitoring app on handover day. Three weeks later the export limit paperwork came through with zero chasing.

Quoted for a switchboard upgrade and three-phase wiring at our workshop. Got the AS/NZS test certificates with the handover pack, RPEQ stamped. Nothing I had to chase up after. Will book them for the solar phase 2 next FY.

Asked three installers for a commercial quote on our cold storage facility. Next Phase was the only one that asked for our interval data before quoting. The other two pitched random kW numbers. Their PDF had NPV, payback and a sensitivity band, exactly what we asked for.

Storm took out two panels and damaged a rail. Brad came out Monday morning, replaced the panels under manufacturer warranty within the week. No drama, no upsell on extra work, no chasing the insurance for me.

Honest sizing advice. We were ready to oversize the system and they talked us down to a 10 kW match for our daytime load, with batteries to come later. Saved us about $9k upfront and the payback math is still under six years.

FAQs
Common questions and answers
Based in Mackay, owned by Mackay locals. Brad (head technician) lives here, the crew lives here, the depot is here. The phone number you ring is answered locally, not by a national call centre.
Our mounting is rated to AS/NZS 1170.2 wind region C, which is what regional QLD requires. Panel rails, brackets and fixings are spec'd for cyclone-region wind loads. We can also pull permits for higher categories if your insurer asks for it.
Two main ones for QLD homes: federal STCs (small-scale technology certificates) discount your upfront system cost, currently worth roughly $400 to $600 per kW depending on the rebate zone; and the federal Home Battery rebate (live since July 2025) cuts about 30% off battery storage. We sort the STC paperwork at no charge as part of every install.
We handle it end to end. Connection application, export-limit set, generation meter request and the post-install Compliance Certificate. We lodge on day one of the project so the network approval does not become the bottleneck.
No. Every person on your roof is on the Next Phase Solar payroll. CEC accredited installers, locally employed. The crew that quotes is the crew that installs and commissions.
Our written workmanship warranty is 10 years. Panels carry the manufacturer's product warranty (typically 12 to 25 years) plus a 25-year output warranty. If output drops below the modelled figure by more than 10%, we come back at our cost and remediate.
Residential: 48 hours from when you send us a recent power bill. Commercial: 48 hours from when we have 12 months of interval data. No on-site sales call required before we send the written quote.
No. Pricing is identical across our service footprint. Travel time is built into the standard rate, no surcharge for Whitsundays, Sarina or the Coalfields.
