Why we think this
Closed because Google lists Gippsland Renewable Energy And Technologies (6725 S Gippsland Hwy, Loch VIC 3945) as permanently closed; Solar Directory archived its listing on 26 August 2026 because its website stopped working. Closure dated 20 May 2019, from Last SolarQuotes review (last seen trading). Against that: ABN 43109645614 (BENU PTY. LTD.) is still active. Google and websites often lag a collapse, so the registers win.
The date comes from: Last SolarQuotes review (last seen trading).
The business has stopped trading: a register, Google or the industry's review sites say so.
What customers said
2 SolarQuotes reviews
The 5 star reviews say
One 2016 SolarQuotes review praises the installer's knowledge and willingness to share advice about living off grid, which points to the sales or pre-install consultation stage.
The 1 star reviews say
One 2019 review describes an upgrade from 3kW to 6.2kW that led to a VCAT order against the installer. It alleges panels overhanging and shadowing each other at multiple orientations and pitches, a single 1.5kW-rated charge controller operating at four times its maximum specification and then failing, and refusal to provide performance estimates, string diagrams or an electrical safety certificate.
