The Solar Co. Omdömen 100

George and Mark were very helpful, explained things very well and took trouble to make sure we understood how things were going. They were prompt in answering our queries. The installation process was prolonged as we needed a flat roof replaced but all the workmen were efficient, helpful and friendly. They were recommended by a neighbour and I'm delighted with the outcome.

Excellent service from start to finish for install of our solar panels and battery. Brilliant communication, all team members very professional, and very pleased with the end result. Thank you!

Our new solar system (21 panels, 10 kWh battery, and Zappi) was up and running yesterday afternoon — and it was so cool seeing the panels making “lecky” (electricity)! All done within a day.

George, Mark, and their team were superb. As others have said, the process starts with George visiting in person, armed with his fancy drone that measures and maps your roof. He discovered we could fit 21 panels up there — this after another company told us our roof wasn’t even suitable for panels (haha).

Like another reviewer mentioned, our consumer unit is awkwardly located in the middle of the house under the stairs, but George came up with a smart, workable solution. Mark came a little later for a second run through and check measurements. The scaffolding was up on the Thursday and the rest of the work done the next Tuesday. We also went with a set with the Zappi so it can never drain the battery — an issue you’ll see discussed online, especially if you’re on Octopus Intelligent Go( I now know a little about Henley blocks and separate consumer units and CTs ).

The roofers arrived promptly at 7:30 a.m. on installation day, with the electricians not far behind. Mark and George were also on site, making sure everything ran like clockwork. From start to finish, it was a completely stress-free experience — such a nice group of people, all of them. They clearly take pride in their work, and their professionalism is impeccable.

If you can, go local that’s best, someone turning up at your house and asking and answering questions, so much better than trying to use your google maps image and photos you’ve taken yourself before getting a quote (what a faff!). Going local means the same people you read about in the reviews are the ones who turn up and do the job whereas large national companies are going to subcontract to people near you that may not always be the best. Not saying that it won’t still go smoothly but why risk it if you don’t have to.

We haven’t got an EV yet, but when we do (soon!), I won’t hesitate to call George and Mark again if we are struggling with anything. Thanks lads - if we get a heat pump (our system is future proofed so this would be very doable) in the future I will definitely go with this company.

Excellent work very tidy and high quality and professional

George and Mark were very knowledgeable and provided good guidance and advice. We had a flat roof over multiple levels. The installation survey was thorough and this gave assurance to us.

They were always on the ball to answer questions, and the installers got the job done in a day. The installation was smooth and they tidied up well.

A few last minute changes happened, but they handled those well. The communication was great, and they ensured everything ran smoothly in the end.

Very easy to work with. Good advice and a very quick installation.

George and Mark provided great advice throughout the process, from design to installation as well as the for the after care. Our project was a bit difficult to scaffold, but they came up with a sensible workaround.

We have our system installed over a year ago. The installation was prompt and smooth. The Inverter broke down after a year but was replaced by Solar Co in no time without me filling any form nor paper work.
George and his team were also helpful. The after sale service is fantastic. I can’t fault this company.

Really impressed - the service was bespoke and friendly, rather than one size fits all. The solar installation was promptly arranged and, on the day itself, quick and efficient. And after installation, the odd question we've had has been answered quickly, even out of hours.

Superb team. Reliable, thorough, speedy, and charming. They sent up a drone to check the layout and provided a fully detailed spec and responded to queries quickly and thoroughly. Cannot fault them.

We recently had 15 solar panels installed across our flat roofs, along with an inverter and battery in the loft and an EV charger at the front of the house – all handled by The Solar Co. The whole experience was exceptional.

From the start, Mark and George were brilliant – knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about doing things properly. They were on hand before and during the install, checking everything was going smoothly and that we understood the system.

The install itself was slick. Their team of roofers and electricians were a pleasure to have around – polite, professional, and impressively efficient, wrapping everything up by 2pm on the day.

What really stood out was their willingness to go the extra mile. Unlike other companies (including Octopus Energy) who wouldn’t touch our flat roofs, The Solar Co had no issue installing panels there, maximising the energy we're able to generate. Where others said we could only fit 7, they delivered 15 – plus managed to install the battery and inverter neatly in the loft, where others refused.

A big bonus: our fuse board is under the stairs in the middle of the house. Most companies said they’d need to drill unsightly holes through walls. The Solar Co? They ran all the necessary cabling under the floor – no mess, no fuss.

Post-installation, they’ve continued to be incredibly helpful. Mark and George kept in touch, sorted out the paperwork so we can start exporting to the grid, and even returned to adjust a panel (which had a minor shading issue) completely free of charge. That level of aftercare is rare.

My neighbour was so impressed by the work, they’ve already booked The Solar Co to fix a sub-par install done by another provider.

It’s been refreshing to work with such a trustworthy, capable, and friendly company. Highly recommended if you’re considering solar.

I recently had a 16.1kWh Fogstar battery installed to complement my existing Sunsynk 5.5kWh inverter, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the work carried out by The Solar Co. From the outset, the entire process was smooth and professional.

A special thank you to George Penny for handling the sales process with clarity and efficiency. Everything was well explained, communication was prompt, and there was never any pressure—just honest, straightforward guidance that helped me make an informed decision. All questions were answered quickly and clearly, the latter being particularly useful as we are solar novices (so had some very basic questions to address).

On installation day, Jake and Mark did a superb job. They carried out the integration of the new battery system and enabled the UPS emergency power supply with a proper earthing rod, all done neatly and competently. Although they did not finish on the day, they came back again the following week to complete the job, showing great commitment to seeing the work through properly.

During the process, they also uncovered a serious fault left by previous installers—some live cables had not been connected correctly, and the joining connector block had shown signs of melting. Though this wasn’t part of their brief, Jake and Mark very kindly and promptly rectified the issue by replacing the faulty connector blocks and making everything safe again. That level of care and responsibility truly stood out.

Following payment, full documentation and an updated system diagram were provided, which was very helpful for our records and ongoing understanding of the system.

The system is now performing excellently, and the new Fogstar batteries are running brilliantly. I’m very impressed with the quality of service and workmanship from The Solar Co., and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

George and Mark have been amazing to work with. From the first meeting with George, it was evident that he's passionate about what he does and fully understands the intricacies of the pre-install calculations to enable him to advise on the best set up required for our personal needs. He and Mark have an excellent team, who are polite, hard working and very professional. They kept to time and are very reliable. One of the most reassuring things was that they have extremely high standards of install, and a highly qualified and expert electrician, to ensure the correct fitment and cabling. They use excellent roofers (which was one of our worries) but we have had an excellent job done, not only relating to the solar install, but also making appropriate repairs to our roof and guttering, which needed attention - I was very happy with the quality of their work, and convinced that they did not over charge, or do unnecessary work. Since the install, George has ensured that all the paperwork was completed with the network company and supplier and that the system was working perfectly. In addition, after a visit from Octopus, a misplacement of sensors resulted in a problem, which George very kindly arranged for his own electrician to come out and sort, rather than me trying to chase Octopus for a re-visit. For years I had hesitated about getting solar, purely because of concerns as to who to get it done by. I can wholeheartedly recommend George, Mark and his team at the Solar Co, and can also confirm that communication continues even after the job, whenever I have any questions. Thank you Jason, for putting me in touch with them.

We were recommended The Solar Co. by nearby friends who'd used them for their solar panels, and we're so glad they did. We used The Solar Co. to reinstate our entire roof (ready for solar panels) and remove an unused chimney stack, and to then install 21 panels feeding through to a Sunsynk inverter and 16kWh Fogstar battery. We're thrilled with the results.

Great communication from the start and an end product that exactly matched what was described in the quote. Pragmatic solutions were proposed and agreed upon for the few inevitable issues that arose - we felt engaged and consulted with throughout. The attention to detail and pride in their work was evident at every step, and they kept in regular contact (in person, by text and by email as needed) to keep our minds at rest. All questions were answered quickly and clearly, the latter being particularly useful as we are solar novices (so had some very basic questions to address).

All in all, if you're looking for a solar installation then The Solar Co. will do you proud. Thanks gents!

Great communications from the start to the finish. Easy company to do business with. They did exactly what they said they would and exactly when they said they would do it. Not often you can say these days. Really nice team and although it's early days the product seems to be working great too.

George and Mark have been excellent to work with from start to finish. In fact, they were speaking to me about the job for well over a year before it even started and have always been available to offer their advice. I have been so impressed with their attention to detail and expertise, and would recommend them in a heartbeat.

Brilliant company, panels, batteries and all wiring was done within a day.
George an his colleagues were very informative about what the the system could achieve and which energy plans-companies I should be going with

The Solar company installed a solar system on our home last year,
Recently we had an issue with our Wi-Fi
Therefore our hub was changed,
This caused us to lose information on how ourSolar system was performing.
I then contacted George regarding this,
George later came to our home and assisted us, enabling us to reconnect with the Sunnysink App.
This company genuinely keeps its promises and helps you with any Solar enquiry you have, after the installation.
Prior to having our Solar system installed, George and Mark were fantastic, I had several quotes before and after Solar company,
The Solar company were so far ahead in all areas.
Their genuine advice, knowledge and compete package was far superior to all the other quotes.
The Rolls Royce of Solar panel installation and very competitively priced.

George from Solar Co first visited for an initial consultation, and it didn't take very long for him to impress me! The sales pitch you may experience from competitors was replaced by a comprehensive knowledge and quiet confidence.
He flew a camera drone to survey the roof and then showed me the images he had captured, spent some time on the calculations of power outputs vs costs, and presented me with a verbal proposal, - the details of which really surprised me.
Because of the very shallow pitch of our roof being only 25 degrees, (I measured it!), he proposed putting eight panels on the South facing front side of the house but also eight panels on the rear North facing side. This was something I had never considered and nor had the competitors.
The verbal estimate he gave was very slightly higher than the competitors, but with double the number of solar panels and a considerable larger storage battery, which would help to future proof, if and when we had a heat pump installed. This set up was going to produce a break-even date for our installation costs far sooner than competitors estimates.
George’s colleague Mark visited for a more detailed survey prior to the installation, and I was also impressed by his professionalism and friendly attitude.
On the day of installation, a friendly team arrived who were very efficient. All the solar panels were fitted in just a few hours, the electrician was working for most of the day, with George and Mark dropping by at regular intervals to check progress and ensure that routing of cable and conduit was to a standard of which they would be proud. The electrical work was completed to an exceptionally high standard, and a lot of thought went into routing cables and conduit for a minimal impact, the kit installed in our garage looks really sharp and being an ex-mechanic and engineer I really appreciate it, even my wife thinks it super!!
The system was up and running before 4:00pm the same day, and the only small issue we have encountered was when the scaffolders, when removing the scaffold, dented our garage door, which I did not notice until the following day. I called George and he was over within the hour to look at the damage and arrange a repair to be completed before the end of the week. This was completed to an exceedingly high standard, and it is difficult to see where the damage had occurred!
Having monitored the energy output in the first two weeks after installation we can see that George’s predictions may be on the conservative side which is very encouraging indeed, as we will be producing even more than he predicted.

The Solar Co installed our solar panels and battery system a couple of years ago and it has been performing very well. At the end of last week we had what turned out to be a minor problem with a component. Our message to the company got a very fast response and they soon had us back up and running. Really good customer service from a friendly and helpful team.
