Contact Solar Ltd customers often describe the process as straightforward, with clear communication and no pressure to buy. Many reviewers praise the installation teams as polite, tidy and good at explaining the system and app. Several report problems after installation, including long waits for engineer visits, poor communication, and a battery fault that left one customer without solar generation for seven weeks. A few describe disappointing or confusing handling of roof damage, paperwork and complaints, though some of these were later resolved.
This company installed a full system of solar panels and battery storage. They were exceptional from start to finish and obviously experts on Solar energy. No hard or pressure selling at all. they give you a price based on your needs and your budget. Our price was less than aspected, so we had an additional 2 panels. The technology has advanced so much from when we last thought about solar energy. The phone app has all the data and usage you could possibly need. The staff, scaffold and installation teams were professional, helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.
The process is very thorough and straightforward. Everything is explained to you every step of the way. There is no pressure to buy and they will do whatever they can to accommodate any requests you have.
Contact solar have been helpful, prompt and responsive from start to finish. We are very pleased with the end product and the customer care we have received from initial quote through to final installation. They were even prompt and efficient when things didn’t quite go to plan. I would highly recommend contact solar.
Great service from the start, from the initial contact everything was clearly explained and from there on the scaffold installation was completed on the day agreed and the gentleman undertaking this work were professional and courteous. The installation team today where great and professional and showed and explained everything that happened and signed off when completed
Really impressed with Contact Solar from start to finish. The whole process was incredibly easy and well organised, and everyone I dealt with was friendly, professional and clearly very knowledgeable. Everything was seamless, from the initial design and quotation through to arranging the scaffolding, installation and getting the system up and running. Even the post-installation support, including helping me get familiar with the app and monitoring the system, has been excellent. A particular mention to Dominic, who has been fantastic throughout — always helpful, knowledgeable and happy to answer my questions. It's refreshing to deal with a company that makes the whole experience so straightforward. Very happy with the installation and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Contact Solar.
ISSUE NOW RESOLVED. Ended up without solar generation for 7 weeks that had had a financial impact on me, no offer to compensate but after the stress of the situation just happy to move on. Truly thankful to those in the management team for resolving the issue and I appreciate your support. However the initial customer service support I received needs addressing especially as my issue arose within the 1st 6 months Disappointing post-installation support for a failed 6-month-old system. I had a Sunsynk system installed by Contact Solar in February 2026. Unfortunately, on 8th August, the panels stopped generating solar entirely. Despite trying basic resets, the system remains completely dead. Given the system is only six months old, I expected a prompt response. Instead, I was initially told to expect a 4-to-6-week wait just for an engineer to diagnose the issue, citing staff shortages and annual leave. After pushing back, I was told they would aim to get someone out by 28th August. Today 25th, I received an email confirming that an engineer cannot come out this week. Instead, they offered a vague window of “the week starting 15th September" without any fixed date or commitment. While the initial installation process went fine, the aftercare has been entirely unacceptable. Leaving a customer with a non-functional, brand-new system for well over a month without even being able to book a specific appointment date shows a serious lack of organisation and customer care. UPDATE, Kate from contact solar got in touch with me and arranged an engineer to come out sat 29th. This was cancelled that morning however the engineer did come Sunday 30th first thing. Unfortunately the panels are still not working and another appointment will be required to check them but this means scaffold will need to be installed again, which is less than ideal. However, Thankful that contact solar are now working to get this resolved
Honestly say that my experience with Contact Solar (EDF) was amazing. Initially I was a bit wary about going with a national company, rather than a local installer. Thinking that I'd be just joining the treadmill of installations with will or no regards for customer satisfaction. I couldn't have been more wrong - communication, documentation, openness and clarity was exceptional. Questions answer in minutes through email. Installation team were courteous, informative, and very friendly. Post installation with sign off of the work, Contact Solar working with our provider to transfer us onto our chosen tariffs and the all the support documentation was outstanding - would thoroughly recommend Contact Solar without ant reservation at all....
Initially I was not sure about solar but when finally making the decision to go ahead the whole experience with Contact Solar has been excellent. Our first contact was with Louie who is very knowledgeable and helpful explaining the process and steps involved as well as quickly resolving any queries or questions we had. Louie has been with us throughout and he is clearly a very kind man but we have also been impressed by all the people that we have met or talked with along this journey - we are really happy that we made this choice.
Contact solar have been very good at all their communications and the scaffolding and installations team were excellent
I would fully recommend Contact Solar. Great communication from the first contact and throughout the whole process.
Fantastic Service and Delivery - Highly Recommend An amazing experience all around, staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and generally quick to respond. They walked me through the entire process, explained the choices if we wanted to proceed and the process and time frames once i had confirmed i wanted to proceed. The entire process was excellent, the staff, service and delivery was excellent. The scaffolders were friendly, the delivery team were quick and efficient too. The follow on calls were great. Couldn't recommend them more highly.
They have been involved for over a year and their support could not be faulted.
Very professional team, they kept me updated throughout the process and installation
We had very positive experience from them. We had ours installed at the end of June. My wife was very satisfied with the whole team, Tom, Karl, Frank, Ellie, Grace etc. everyone had been honest, prompt, polite and efficent. The system has been running fine for more than 3 months now without problem. Hope it will last.
Overall a positive experience so far, we have had 8 solar panels installed and two batteries. The install team were efficient and very tidy taking all their rubbish away. The installation of cables and equipment was very tidy and aesthetically good, they were here at 9.30am and had finished by 1.30. I had a good run through of the system with them, so all good there. The have been very prompt in responding emails and arranging he appointments for workman to arrive with clear notifications. The document side and contract handover so far has been very smooth and efficient. So overall a very good service. I gave 4 instead of 5 stars as one grumble i have is that i had to repeat what the surveyor said to their install team, as they were recommending we would have to dig a 1m trench through concrete for cabling in the garage, obviously not something we would want to undertake. I emailed and queried this, and they went back to the surveyor so the cable could be run over the top of a fence and down as previously recommended. Personally I would prefer to speak with someone about the final installation, instead they do rely heavily on emails moving you through separate teams for each stage, which I appreciate is more effective and speedy for a company this size.
From start to finish I can only say, Excellent 👍 we had other work taking place and contact worked with us and we eventually managed to fit a date in for installation. Super helpful in the office and great knowledge. Installation was completed in one day 14 panels, inverter and batteries. The three guys that came were a credit to the company. Worked all day and did a fantastic job. Thankyou guys👍
wanted to revert summer timer back to winter ones but encountered a problem once completed as no discharge back to grid in evening. They updated the timer & it worked as expected, responded on the same day so can't ask for a better response
This company collaborated with my energy supplier and offered me to become "solar". It went so far very well! They dealt with all bureaucracy and then I got the dates for the work. Once installed, I had loads of questions but their after-sales support is great as well. Very quick to get my live view of operation to my electronic devices, so I can check out now how it all works which is very nice in particular when you just got your new solar energy system. So as a summary, I am very pleased.
Great service. Highly responsive, helpful, good value and did exactly what they said they would.
Thanks Contact Solar, you have made the process of solar panel installation very easy. All was completed quickly, with both electricians and scaffolders working professionally and politely throughout. There was one issue with the position of the meter box, but that was addressed without quibble. Would recommend highly.
I found contact solar a very professional company but with a personal touch.nothing was not answered.the fitters top class an all round good experience.kind regards michael walton
Easily contactable, excellent install team, really pleased with the installation, only downside was the wait time
Excellent customer service from Contact Solar. Great communication throughout, very clear documentation followed up with calls to confirm I had what I needed. Though initially delayed in install due to availability of scaffolding, when the install happened, it happened quickly and very smoothly. All round great team effort from all involved.
Very helpful and efficient
The employees were great and very helpful. However, the timescale from initial enquiry to installation was too long at 6 months. However there were no bills to pay until completion.
Really friendly and helpful team, helped to maximise the capability of the installation. Kept me informed during the process and explained everything as we went through
I would rate these guys higher if I could!! A smooth experience from start to finish, everyone at Contact Solar are very helpful, knowledgable and have taken the stress out of the whole solar installation process. From Ellie, Grace, Geoff and Jack who I never spoke to but got our system up and running. Thanks to the whole team from scaffolders to installers and electricians. I am very happy with the system they have installed and look forward to the savings for years to come. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Thank you
Excellent price, fantastic quality, and perfect support team. What more do you want!
From the initial enquiry for 12 solar panels and a Tesla battery, to post completion, the communication has been superb from Contact. The install team did a fantastic job, were professional and friendly. The workmanship is excellent. Would recommend them.
Contact Solar have been absolutely fantastic in supporting me since I moved into my new home. The solar system was originally installed by Contact Solar for the previous owner, so I wasn’t actually their original customer. Despite that, they couldn’t have been more helpful in getting me set up following the move. They provided me with all the relevant documentation relating to the original installation and have been extremely responsive in helping me troubleshoot and get the system fully back up and running. A particular mention has to go to Ben in Technical Support, who has been brilliant — knowledgeable, patient and incredibly helpful throughout. However, my experience with the whole company has been excellent. It’s particularly impressive to receive this level of aftercare when I wasn’t even the original customer. Based on my experience, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Contact Solar. Excellent customer service and technical support.
Faultless experience. Can highly recommend contact solar for your solar install. From the initial enquiry, to the install, everything was carefully explained, contracts were transparent and the install team were courteous and hardworking. Price was excellent, and offered very good value for money.
We had a fantastic experience with Contact Solar from start to finish. The entire team was professional, courteous, and transparent throughout the project. Special thanks to James and Ellie, who made the initial stages completely seamless. Every interaction with them was pleasant and they took the time to walk me through the entire process step by step, answering every question clearly. The installation team did exceptional work on the day. They were punctual, highly skilled, tidy, and respectful of the property. I couldn't be more satisfied with the quality of the work and the professionalism shown by everyone involved. Highly recommended!
Simply superb service from start to finish. Very helpful during the design and purchase stage and the installers were amazing. Polite, professional, personable and completed a very neat and tidy job exactly when they said they would - can’t recommend them enough
We were very happy with the response of Contact Solar, and indeed with the outcome. The engineer who came and fitted our second battery was both professional and informative and very polite. All in all a very happy experience.
First class workmen on site who did a really good job. They were Tim and Jay. Pleasant people to have on site and very helpful.
Very professional with good communication throughout the installation
My batteries are three years old and stopped working. I contacted support and after a lot of back and forth (each reply takes 24 hours), Contact Solar concluded that I needed replacement batteries. While the batteries are still under warranty, the callout will cost £180 and will happen in 4-6 weeks. When in 4-6 weeks? We will call you in 4-6 weeks to let you know. Contact Solar really behaves like a utility and makes sure you know it.
Excellent service from start to finish. Longer process than anticipated but so worth it! Tradesmen clean, tidy and very professional. Informed each step of the way. Highly recommended!
From my first call, Contact Solar have been responsive, helpful and patient describing the process and issues I would need to consider. Once I had decided to appoint them to instal a battery the way forward was explained and they kept in regular contact. Installation went smoothly and I have not had any issues in my first week although they will continue to provide advice if needed. Recommended.
Contact Solar have done all our planning and installation of Solar panels and batteries at a very competitive price. During this period everything was done very professionally, though it took slightly longer as we live in a village. After installation the paperwork was done in record time and move over to EDF generation tariff is being handled by them. There has always been someone to talk to and help whenever needed. Highly recommended.
14 Panel, Battery and Inverter installation - Really impressed with all aspects from start to finish. From initial conversations around system requirements and pricing, to handover of installation. Installation teams and scaffold teams polite friendly and informative. Cant fault anyone involved.
I sought quotes for solar panels and battery from many suppliers and wasn't satisfied with any of them. A neighbour recommended Contact Solar, having recently used them. Contact Solar was a breathe of fresh air. The sales person was friendly yet professional, and very open about the product. We agreed a very competitive price and a system providing the greatest generation capacity of all the quotes I received. The survey and istallation was straightforward with no surprises or unexpected charges. There was a minor miscommunication at one point but the response from the team in the office was exemplary and quickly resolved the issue. Based on my experience I will recommend Contact to friends and neighbours.
They were really helpful and explained everything in detail and never tried to push you into having solar or which battery have . i found that they made the process stressless as they were always there to help with any question i had .The two men who came to install the solar and battery were really nice and explained everything they were doing .
Great service and install of Solar system, would recommend these guys 100%
Absolutely delighted with our new solar panels. From start to finish, the company was professional, friendly and efficient. The guys who fitted the panels were fantastic — polite, respectful and really knowledgeable about what they were doing. They worked hard, kept everything tidy and did a brilliant job.
Contact Solar made the process of switching to solar straightforward and stress-free. All people involved were professional and polite. The installation crew was punctual, polite, and extremely clean with their work.
From the very start 'Contact Solar' have been helpful and communicated constantly to ensure confidence in their service. Their pricing is competitive and all of their staff are very positive, answering all of the inevitable questions that arise. The installation team have just left and they also were very professional. They also gave a 'walkthrough' of the system once completed. We've gone for two batteries (see photo). Originally we were going for 16 panels but two could not be installed due to existing obstacles on the roof. Contact Solar simply called to explain and knocked the cost off the final bill. An easy solution for everyone. All of the Follow-up and Handover process has been completed in the last hour. I'll be recommending Contact to anyone who is looking into Solar power. Big thanks to the office and installation teams!
Contact Solar have been really easy to deal with from the start of my solar project to the finish. The staff and installers were all helpful and corrected issues as they arose. Ellie, Jack, Ciar and Grace were especially standout.
When we had solar installed, just under 5 years ago, Contact Solar were absolutely brilliant. The installation went without a hitch and although we had a couple of teething problems they were resolved quickly and with minimal fuss. Over the years we have had cause to contact them on a few occasions and the service was excellent. The service was so good we recommended them to friends looking for solar. That has all changed. Whether it's the take over by EDF I can only speculate but it does seem very coincidental. Our battery is not working as it should and I reported this to Contact Solar in June. The initial response was to reboot the system - funnily enough I'd already tried that without success. The problem would be referred to their engineers I was told. I chased for an update without response and had to resort to escalating the complaint. To cut a long story short we've paid for an engineer to do an on-site visit but we still haven't been contacted to arrange a date. Considering the summer we've had I hate to think how much not having a working battery has cost. Once upon a time I would have wholeheartedly recommended Contact Solar - now I would advise looking elsewhere and having looked at recent reviews it appears I'm not alone.
Excellent service from initial discussion to installation and tariff selection
First class service and attention to detail. Highly recommended
An excellent service all round. The initial consultation was informative and professionally delivered. Actual installation was carried out by a friendly and skilful team. Everything was carefully explained and all our questions answered fully. We would thoroughly recommend Contact Solar to anyone considering installing solar panels.
It’s been a really good journey from start to finish, getting our battery management system installed. Contact Solar have engaged me and kept me in the loop through out the whole journey. Plus, the kit itself is really good…. Engineers who installed it were really polite and informative.
Really good team, quick to respond and installation was all done nice and neatly with a proper handover.
Very helpful and a stress-free service from start to finish. Customer service was great and I'm really happy with how my solar panels and batteries are performing.
Started my Solar journey with a phone call to contact solar - from that day on everything was so simple, no high pressure sales, a lot of real questions, full explanations on everything to ensure I had no niggles. I had 16 panels and 3 batteries installed and it could not have been simpler - all the paperwork was handled and sorted by C.S. Everybody was great from start to finish, I could mention a few names but it wouldn't be fair on everybody else who were absolutely fantastic. Very rarely you deal with a company where, whoever you speak to or whatever you ask, it handled professionally, with full knowledge and very friendly. I have no hesitation in recommending Contact Solar, good product, great service and staff and their prices are very competitive. Great Job !!!
Great communication from this company. They use premium products and came out best on price as well. I would recommend this company.
Absolutely first class service! Time from placing order, getting G99 process started, to completed instal was several months. But the work was very diligently and professionally completed. Technician was very neat, kept his work area clean and left everything spotless on completion. Sun Synk set up is fantastic, app is perhaps not as intuitive as it could be, but booked walk through / training with Contact Solar. All in all 10 out of 10!
Great service, quick installation and good support. It took me ages to take the plunge, but these guys made it so easy and definitely worth it!
I had solar panels, batteries and an inverter fitted to my home by Contact Solar. The fitting was completed to a high standard and the fitters explained everything clearly, came on time and tidied up after themselves. Communication with Contact solar was professional and clear, everything was completed when expected so I would recommend them to anyone considering getting solar fitted.
Mat and Scott were on time professional in there work cleaned up after them made you feel at ease with instructions they explained about the work
Very efficient and professional service. Process well explained at all stages and kept fully informed at all times. Any queries were quickly addressed.
Excellent service right from the start. They met and beat their indicated appointments, survey. installation etc. The equipment was very professionally installed and looks good. Highly recommended.
From beginning to end, the relevant teams from Contact Solar Ltd could not have been more helpful and friendly. Special mention to the two engineers who do the instillment - great guys.
It was a pleasure speaking with Jack who was very patient and helpful in his explanation of the system
After comparing many companies and coming across a few questionable ones I decided to place my 18 Panel, Tesla Powerwall 3 and Back Up Gateway 2 with bird protection order with contact solar. This was based on extensive research of Contact Solars reviews, accreditations and value for money. I had the pleasure of Dealing with Matthew as a first point of contact who managed to secure the package I was interested in for a very competitive price. I was then passed over to the Survey Team who visited sooner than expected. Carl surveyed the home and was extremely professionally and incredibly polite. After the lengthiest but understandable wait of the process due to the high demand at the moment I was then contacted by the scaffolding team who arranged the scaffold to be erected a week prior to installation. On the day of the installation I had what must have been contact solars top installation team turn up. They arrived promptly, professionally and had a good laugh throughout the day. Phil, Connor and Max are a credit to contact solar as they installed the system in about 8 hours, left no mess and everything was neat and tidy as I would expect for a project like this. Summary: I highly recommend Contact Solar if you're considering solar/batteries. Good value for money, professional, credible and efficient.
A good firm to trust. Always on hand to help, workmen were clean, tidy, efficient, polite, and customer support is knowledgeable.
Excellent so far, the chaps who came worked really hard without a break and installed within a day. Very impressed so far.
Of the several shortlisted installers we considered these were one of the only two who listened, who juggled the various factors and came up with a solution with maximum gain and minimum drawbacks on the elevations of a difficult property. The equipment proposed was a good balance of cost and capacity and has proved to be able to perform at higher than specification in its first two months. The people are without exception (and including the scaffolding contractors who are often quite feral, these were civilised!) friendly, polite, tidy and happy to explain what they are doing. Even our guard cat approved. The company has some internal communication issues typical of a small company growing rapidly. Job sequencing is function based ('silo' is the fashionable word) rather single point of contact and there are minor 'misfires' and hiccups as others have noticed. Companies grow out of this, it's fairly common. The sheer 'personality' of the business makes up for it though it should be fixed for excellence! Paperwork and pricing including an insurance backed warranty were thorough and very competitive and a change arising half way through was easily dealt with. On paper and with a functioning system now installed definitely value for money. Would I recommend them? Yes with only that minor reservation, the need for tighter job management. A solid four and two thirds stars rounded up to five!
Contact Solar/EDF is a very professional company and a real pleasure to have dealt with them. They were very thorough at every stage of my journey into Solar energy, battery storage and electricity generation and to exporting the excess to the national grid. I had 16 x Aiko 480w, Sunsynk 7kw Inverter and 2 x Sunsynk 5.32kw Batteries installed, completed in January 2026. The performance is way beyond what I expected and I haven't had a Electric or Gas bill from February as the Solar energy Covers both bills and the export refund will more than cover the Winter bills. If you want to venture into Solar energy you wont find a better company than Contact Solar/EDF to get the job done. A big thank you to everyone of the team. Alan Young
Be careful and wide awake to Enter into a contract and sign a proposal. Because it doesn't matter to Contact Solar. I have entered into a contract with 10 panel(4,5kw) and birdprotection systenm. But finished with 9 panel and no bird Protection. Reason, they could not fit them . They didn't plan before entering the house to install. It doesn't matter to them, they can easily dishonor and force you to another system by reducing few pounds. You don't have choice. I ended up picking the bill to install bird protection at a very higher cost.
Contact Solar have been great throughout the process. Communication was good, installation was excellent and so efficient. The whole process has been really easy and stress free.
Excellent company to deal with. No hard sell just a professional explanation of their services and products with advice on the strengths and limits of the different brands. Installation of the solar panels and Tesla Batteries was smooth, neat and trouble free thanks to the helpful and friendly installers. Highly recommended.
Contact Solar have been very efficient throughout the whole process of ordering through to installation. At any time I didn't feel under pressure and the install team worked so quickly to complete the install. Haven't got the export tariff up and running yet but if all other interactions are to go by I can't see any problems occurring.
⭐☆☆☆☆ (1/5) I chose Contact Solar because of its association with EDF, expecting a professional, reliable service. Instead, I’ve experienced months of delays, poor communication, and constant chasing. I placed my order in February 2026 and, by July 2026, I still didn’t have a confirmed installation date. During that time, I sent a formal written complaint setting out the issues and requesting a resolution. That complaint wasn’t even acknowledged, let alone properly addressed. Rather than responding to the concerns I had raised, Contact Solar simply attempted to continue with arranging the installation as though the complaint didn’t exist. The delays also had a direct financial impact. I had ordered an electric vehicle on the reasonable assumption my EV charger would have been installed by then, leaving me to pay for public charging while waiting. When they finally responded to my complaint, the resolution offered was a £150 discount. Considering months of delays, poor communication, the repeated need to chase updates, and the additional costs I incurred, I found this to be an insulting gesture rather than a genuine attempt to resolve the matter. If I’d used a local installer, I’m confident the work would have been completed months earlier and probably at a lower cost. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Contact Solar. Poor communication, excessive delays, a lack of ownership when things go wrong, and an inadequate complaints process. I would advise anyone considering them to look elsewhere.
We're delighted with our solar installation. The team were great to deal with and kept us informed through the whole process. Would definitely recommend
Fantastic experience throughout the process from quote to installation. Excellent Customer service with all stages well explained Would recommend
Lovely people, great service, very happy with installation and price
Contact Solar literally did everything for us, from surveys and quotes to arranging scaffolding and installation. We dealt with Mason, who was very knowledgeable and helpful, guiding us every step of the way. There was no pressure to purchase and we felt in control of the process all the way. We are very happy with the final outcome, we feel as though we have future proofed our future and our long term investment will pay off in the coming years. Thank you Contact Solar
Prompt, no problem installation from the Solar team, a job well done.
What an amazing company. From the first point of contact everything was effortless. These guys know exactly what they are doing. The installation was better than I expected. Overall 10 / 10. Well done.
So easy to deal with on the phone or by email, all the people that came out to do the manual stuff were all on time, polite and fully knowledgeable about what they were doing. Top class all round.
From initial sales consultation to payment day, Contact Solar have been excellent. The communication has been consistent and regular throughout, the thirds parties used for scaffolding and installation were excellent, extremely professional, polite, tidy and helpful. I had put off getting Solar for so long but one call with Contact Solar convinced me to go ahead, no hard sell, no up sell, just an open conversation around my requirements and by the end of the call my questions were answered, the price was negotiated and I was convinced. Really fantastic job all round, I would highly recommend them.
Contact Solar (CS) acts with integrity, communicates effectively and clearly, and keeps to planned schedules. CS’s installation team discussed and suggested options for placements of main equipment and cable routing prior to commencement at site. They were quick, knowledgeable, pleasant and very respectful. We are extremely happy with how the whole process from quotation through to completion of installation and follow up call within 24 hours was undertaken.
Excellent service from start to finish, could not fault anything & would confidently recommend Contact Solar to anyone
the company was great from start to finish and communication was great. i would just like to thank the 2 installers who came to do the fitting on one of the hottest days of the year and did an amazing job. would definitely recommend this company .
Three weeks on and no one has called me back after repeated requests. If this is how you are at the first step (to a potential customer), how can you be trusted to deliver a large investment? So glad I found out now! Taking my business elsewhere. In response: I already contacted your team as I said, multiple times (I have messages). I'm not chasing any further.
Everybody very friendly and helpful over the phone. Everything was explained well,and all questions answered. Work was carried out quickly by a great pair of blokes, they arrived on time and left it all tidy.
I’m not usually the type of person to leave online reviews, but after my experience with Contact Solar, I felt they genuinely deserved one. If you are considering solar for your home, I can honestly say they have been outstanding from start to finish. From the very first conversation, it was clear that this was not just another company focused on making a sale. The whole process felt transparent, straightforward, and centred around finding the right solution for my home. There were no high-pressure sales tactics or attempts to upsell products I didn’t need, just honest and professional advice throughout. I would also like to give a special mention to the people I dealt with because they made the whole experience completely stress-free. Carl, the surveyor, was excellent and carried out a thorough assessment that got everything off to a great start. Andy and Ben from the pre-installation team were fantastic with communication, keeping me updated at every stage so I always knew what was happening. A huge thank you also goes to Joseph from the technical team. His knowledge is exceptional, and he was always happy to answer my questions, no matter how small they seemed. Having someone with that level of expertise available really gave me confidence in the whole process. When installation day arrived, Shane and Mark were absolute professionals. They were friendly, hardworking, and clearly took great pride in what they do. They treated my home with respect, worked efficiently, and even left everything spotless once the job was complete. The quality of the installation is first class. One of the things I appreciated most was the honesty and transparency throughout. There were no hidden costs, no unexpected extras, and no unpleasant surprises. Everything was exactly as explained, and the system is already performing exactly as promised. Even after the installation, the team made sure I understood how everything worked and felt comfortable using the monitoring system. It is rare to find a company that delivers on its promises at every stage, but Contact Solar certainly did. I have already recommended them to family and friends, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering solar. Thank you to everyone involved for making the whole experience such a positive one.
Do not use if you are more than five minutes away. I bought a system back in 2023, and it's fine whilst it works, but Contact solar are poor on after service. One of my batteries has failed and rather than come out, they discussed it all by phone and then looked to use their contract terms to then decline a site visit. They also made claims about the subsequent installation of equipment, how they could make the claims based on just a few pictures is beyond me. Given a choice I would not use them again. To correct the reply from Contact Solar, the install date was November 2022. despite me asking, they have still not supplied the electrical installation paperwork.
Contact Solar installed my new solar array, and have been a fantastic support from beginning to end. Their staff are knowledgeable and responsive and I am very grateful for their efforts. An excellent company.
Great team, from Matthew who I originally spoke to all through the process, scaffolders and installer contractors were also a pleasure to work with and to date after case has been good.
I had a 20‑panel solar array and two batteries installed as part of this project, and the whole experience has been outstanding from start to finish. Every interaction with the company has been first class, and I genuinely cannot fault any part of the process. From the original sales call, everything was explained clearly and honestly, with no pushy sales tactics and plenty of time given to answer my questions. The office staff have been equally impressive – friendly, professional and always quick to respond, keeping me updated at every stage so I always knew what was happening and when. The scaffolding team turned up exactly when they said they would, worked efficiently and safely, and were respectful of my property throughout. The installation team were just as professional: they arrived on time, worked neatly and methodically, and took the time to walk me through the system and the operation once everything was up and running. Overall, the whole experience has been seamless, well organised and genuinely stress free. Every member of the team I dealt with represented the company brilliantly, and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.
We recently had solar panels installed by Contact Solar and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. The entire process was smooth, well organised, and completely hassle-free with no issues at all along the way. The team were professional, knowledgeable, and kept us informed throughout. Installation was an absolute breeze and completed efficiently to a very high standard, and the system is already performing brilliantly. What stood out most was the outstanding customer service — everyone we dealt with was friendly, helpful, and happy to answer any questions we had. We’re really pleased with the quality of the work and would highly recommend Contact Solar to anyone considering solar panels.
Fast and reliable resolution of a query that required a change to my technical data
Great aftercare. Inverter needed a firmware update for latest features and it was done remotely very quickly. They have always been lovely.
Sunsync helpline engineers tried a couple of times the rectify a problem on my dashboard, with two different engineers giving me two different remedies. Everything they suggested failed, so in desperation I contact my installer - Contact Solar - and the problem was identified immediately. Simple fix by me and job done. Excellent work,as usual.

Router re-connection sorted promptly.
Excellent experience from initial contact (Zach) to talk through options and to arrange the pre installation review to the review itself. This was followed with information on the findings of the review with recommendations of the number of panels and batteries to install (Ryan), to arranging the installation dates and details and answering my queries (Grace). Then the installation itself (Phil and Lloyd) who did a superb installation with all the equipment neat and tidy with no fuss or mess and a great attitude all day with a run through to make sure we were happy. Follow up calls happened straightaway to check we were happy and to talk through payment, guarantees, using the app and setting up the new tariff for us with EDF. Very professional from start to finish with both proactive updates and quick responses at all times. A great experience and highly recommended.
Excellent solar panel installation. We are very impressed by the whole process. The installers/electricians were punctual, they explained everything clearly throughout the process. Phil & Lloyd were very organised, neat & tidy on site. They cleared everything away and left no mess. Would definitely recommend. Great job
WISH I WAS NOT RECOMMENDED THESE BY EDF. I WAS TOLD BY EDF THAT THE INSTALL WOULD BE AS LITTLE AS 6 WEEKS. WELL IT’S NOW BEEN 16 WEEKS, AND NO INSTALLATION DATE. EXCUSE AFTER EXCUSE, PROMISES AFTER PROMISES. APOLOGY AFTER APOLOGY. THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT SINGLE PRIVATE INSTALLATIONS AT ALL. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THESE.
They are the most helpful people I have dealt with. The support with a problem I encountered due to changing tariff was superb. Having had Contact Solar for some years I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
Great communication from the company. A little pricier than some outfits, but better quality products & the overall experience was very positive. Workmen were courteous, efficient & respectful of our property. Customer support has been excellent so far :-)
Installation was good, however don't expect any help after this. They only communicate via email, ignore requests for a phone conversation. And refuse to help on requests for adjustment to inverters after enquiries regarding reapplication to DNO. Which they refuse to do in our behalf. Ben has been useless in answering my queries only responding once per day via email which on a verbal communication could have been sorted immediately but has now taken over 10 days. Now they are threatening charges to adjust an inverter, which can be done remotely by TESLA. Appalling *Update* I had a phone call shortly after I posted this review. My questions were all answered and an apology was given. Then I was asked to take the review down. I am sorry but if this was the only way I got service then people should know. Regards.
Great company very professional and helpful we had our solar system installed 2021 absolutely fantastic would highly recommend we changed our router on our computer it made it so I could not see up to minute live feed just rang to see if contact solar could help talked us through it and back to normal can't praise them enough thank you for Great after care sincerely robert
The whole experience was very good including the scaffolding and installation. The app we use is very informative. Would recommend to others. Terry
Solar and Batteries installed by Contact Solar: I am really pleased with the process of getting solar panels and batteries installed at my property with Contact Solar. The quote was very competitive, with lots of advice and they even beat my other best quote. Contact Solar provide all the documents you required including MCS Certificate(required to export), DNO grid approval, NICEIC Certificate (building regs), Manuals and Schematic of system, HIES insurance, 2 years workmanship warranty. Along with all the applications and sorting out my SEG application, they have a call to go through the inverter application and settings so you understand and can ask any questions. I have contacted them since the install for a couple questions and they answered them the same day after reviewing the data from my inverter online. Lastly l, the instation team were fantastic, all the work is really neat and tidy. Even consulting on the day to make sure I was happy with everything they were doing. At the end of the day when they finished, they walked around and showed me all the components, how to use the system only leaving after checking I was happy.
I never fail to be impressed by how helpful the support team is. I’m so pleased we chose Contact Solar to instal our solar panels and battery. It was a very professional installation and now I find that professionalism and responsiveness extends to your support service. Just brilliant - as a consumer I couldn’t be more pleased.
Good service from inception to completion and beyond. Just had a chat with Jack who helped with some of the Sunsynk app. Panels working fine and earning money.
Had a very useful half hour with Jack on the phone this morning. I had no idea how comprehensive is the solar system we have installed. Jack was knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with and I am confident that we will gain a lot from our system.
Recently had a solar system installed and, up until the end, the service from Contact Solar was excellent. Unfortunately, a roof tile appears to have been damaged during the installation. The installation team blamed the scaffolding team, the scaffolding team blamed the installers, and Contact Solar initially suggested it was simply wear and tear. Given the minimal cost of replacing a tile compared to the overall installation, this response was disappointing and raised concerns about the level of customer support going forward. Update: The tile has now been replaced. Overall, the service has been excellent from start to finish. While the issue at the end was frustrating and could have been handled better, it has now been resolved. On that basis, this really should be a 5* review—but due to the handling of the final issue, I feel 4* is a fair reflection.
I had my isolator fitted today ready for my solar insulation. Chris the engineer was very good and was only here literally for 20 mins. He left no mess and was very efficient and very informative as to what he was doing.10/10 good communication and a quick tidy job done efficiently.
I have just had Contact Solar install a solar panel and battery system and am delighted with the result. They were very competitively priced and offer access to a great import and export tariff with EDF. The staff made the whole process seamless as as stress free as possible. Everyone at Contact Solar were incredibly helpful, and a special mention must go to Dominic and Ellie who were brilliant throughout. I'd definitely recommend Contact Solar.
Very good company to deal with from survey, quote, installation and follow up care. Andy was really good and helpful during the quotation phase and Ellie absolutely brilliant dealing with post installation questions and sorting out my new EDF tariff. Everything was done on time and as planned, the fitters and electricians were polite and friendly. No issues or complaints whatsoever.
Excellent work and good customer service. We were concerned about damage to the exterior of our house as it has recently been renovated with new rendering, cladding and composite decking. After very good communication from Contact Solar from the start in regards to the pre-install inspection we were informed the install team would arrive “close to 9am as possible”. They arrived at 8:54am and I walked them around the house explaining our concerns, which they listened to diligently. They worked non-stop from 9am and by 4pm by which time they had installed 20 solar panels, a battery and helped connect me to the system and walked me through how to use it. All was completed without any fuss, damage or complication. I would highly recommend Contact Solar if you are considering having solar panels installed, their communication is excellent and the install is of the highest standard.
An excellent Company with top quality staff who take you through the whole Solar experience from information through Installation and support in operating the system. As well as making the whole experience non stressful they are likely to save me extra money on my energy bills with their advice
It felt like it was all smiles and nothing was too much to ask… until they had my money. Now, I feel completely left on my own with a handful on unanswered issues and additional costs to which I feel I should not have to pay. I do not feel there was proper handling of my complaint either. I’ve even gone direct to EDF and all they do is push me back to Contact Solar. I thought I was getting some reassurance by going with a company connected to EDF. Boy was I wrong. Wouldn’t recommend them to anyone.
Absolutely brilliant service from start to finish. Everything was explained to me from the sales team about the process, which was very reassuring, even responding to e mails very quickly to. The team were professional, tidy, and explained everything clearly before and during the solar panel installation. The fitting was done to a very high standard and completed on time with no hassle at all. The after-service support which they’ve been responsive, helpful, and happy to answer any questions about the system and app monitoring, even a phone call to go over the app and explained what everything means was a great help.It’s reassuring to know they’re there if needed. Very pleased with the whole experience and would definitely recommend to anyone considering solar panels.
From start to finish it was a stress free easy purchase from initial contact , dealing with the friendly staff , paperwork , installation and the tarrifs with EDF I highly recommend just need more sun 🌞
I had Jack phone me on a pre-arranged appointment to help me work the Sunsynk Connect App. He was very helpful and also entered some of the information for me. He helped me move from the Connect Pro App, to the Connect App, as it is much easier to understand. It was great having such clear instruction from the Contact Solar Team. have been very pleased with the installation, from start to finish, and now the aftercare.
Contact Solar have been an absolute pleasure to engage with over the purchase of Solar panels and relevant equipment. From the initial discussions as to what deal we needed, to final handover, each and every contact has been efficient, professional and informative. Of particular note was the installation team who worked tremendously hard to complete the installation even in inclement weather. As someone who demands high quality I have no hesitation in recommending this company. Contact Solar has not only met my expectations, they have exceeded them. Thank you.
ok , having now had my system installed can see why 5 star reviews, competitive pricing (tick) communication (tick) bar a slight hiccup but more me than them, install team 10 star service, not quite finised yet but looking forward to great things
Cannot fault them. Excellent price, very friendly, respond to contact quickly, fitters are obviously very experienced also very clean and tidy installation. 10 stars Graham Healy
I wouldn't recommend at all absolutely dreadful to deal with. 1st instance was installation off panels and we were left with a leaking roof which we had to get sorted. When installation was taking place we had 4no battery storage for the solar which were a expensive addition to complete our needs. 3 years on all 4 batteries have failed due to overheating which the engineer told us they were to tightly packed together. The batteries stopped working in June and to this date they haven't even been picked up for them to be examined so they can replace with new ones . Customer service just seems to go round and round when trying to sort out all off our problems
Existing Customer:I recently changed my Wi-Fi provider, and unfortunately my unit hasn’t been able to connect to the new network. This issue has been ongoing for weeks, and so far the only support option has been through email, which hasn’t resolved things yet. For customers who are considering switching Wi-Fi providers, please be aware that the unit may not come back online easily after the change.
Not a great experience! Lots of false promises made when I placed my order for 3 solar batteries, the installation date put back a number of times. Finally, the day before the installation I was told that the specification that was ordered would not be possible! No apology given!!! Very disappointing and frustrating!
Fantastic from start to finish things moved quickly from initial first conversation about a system for my house was kept mostly up to date with everything that was going to happen agreed on a price survey done more panels added scaffolding went up really quick a week later the installation team were here and fitted it that day a week later scaffolding was down and job was done . A great plus and one of the reasons I went with contact solar was I was already with edf and they did everything filled out all the forms sorted all the solar stuff out and got in touch with edf to set up my tariff and export that should go live very soon . So all in all I would definitely recommended contact solar they just did everything for you and that was what I wanted as I didn't have a clue about what to do fantastic job.
Seemed very knowledgeable and helpful at first and gave me a good quote but stated that I would have to get a ground rod installed myself, I eventually after struggling got a quote from a local electrician for the ground rod, I was ready to go with them and then I was phoned by someone else from contact solar and told that contact solar would install a ground rod, great I thought, won’t have to mess around, then I was told again they wouldn’t, then again they would, I was then re-quoted for over £2 grand more than the original quote and told they won’t honour the original quote as it was wrong and it was done by an inexperienced member of staff, the whole experience was confusing and overall a poor experience. I would have gone with them at first but it then got really poor when the other salesman got involved, if they don’t know what they are doing at the quote stage what is the rest going to be like!
I was with another supplier and only contacted Contact Solar for a comparative quote for a PV and battery system. The quote was very competitive and everything was explained clearly. After giving the go ahead, things happened smoothly and quicker than initially indicated which was good. The installation team was excellent and did a good handover. The only aspect less than ideal was the removal of the scaffolding, they arrived at 7.30 on Saturday, with no notice given. I stress they were not Contact Solar team but contracted. So, overall I would highly recommend Contact Solar. Their parent EDF is a different matter, slow to respond, gave unclear instructions to commission a smart meter (had to do it myself when the engineer who installed it should have done the full job). And the engineer who did come out, twice, was surly and dismissive. "I dunno, you'll have to call EDF" seemed to be a standard response.
Had the system for 1 year now, no complaints, team are great from initial quote to install. Amazing service. Went for 22 panels and 2 battery's with a car charger. We now have 2 electric cars with a combined mileage of 25000 miles, charge the cars with octopus at night very cheap along with the battery's this means most of the electric produced during the day is export. Overall I predict that I will have 0 electric cost, which will include charging our cars and covering 25000 miles. So they payback is very quick on the system, less than 4 years. Very happy.
I had my system installed 11 months ago and pretty much left it alone. I got to thinking of changing settings as the darker days approach and got very confused with the app. As a consequence, following an email seeking guidance, Tom arranged a telephone appointment with me for today and all is now well in my solar world. His manner and temperament are first class, his knowledge of the system and app are fantastic, he is a true credit to Contact Solar. Thanks Tom.
terrible app & doc almost unusable
Cal back was on time and my query re battery charging was answered and explained very thoroughly Excellent service
I accepted a proposal from Contact Solar on 22nd July 2025. The surveyor visited on Monday, 4th August 2025 and promised that they would call back to finalise the design of my installation on Thursday 7th August 2025. As at today, 12th August 2025, I have heard nothing definite. When I queried this clear surveying delay with Contact Solar, I was told disappointingly that "unfortunately myself or the surveys team would not be able to provide any updates, due to you being with another department." Because of this, I decided to cancel my order. This appears to be a company that leaves the customer in the lurch over how their order is progressing and I would therefore avoid Contact Solar for their inability to communicate clearly and to keep to the promised timetable.
Great Customer Service. I needed assistance when changing on to the EDF Empower Tariff. Stefano from the Support Team spen 1.5 hours talking me through the changes and guiding me through every part of the App and Portal configuration. Thank you Stefano :)
Waw...
Great experience dealing with Contact Solar. They dealt with all the paperwork to export and delivered all my certificates after work completed. Cost was very competitive. The scaffolding team and install teams were both spot on, worked clean and knew what they were doing. The installed system is performing as expected. Highly recommend
Really impressed with Contact Solar. The sales team were great, not pushy and had lots of knowledge and patience. The survey team turned up on time as did the scaffold and installation crew. All very friendly and hardworking. Once installed within the day, the system was explained to me and then the after care group called and explained everything including App setup. Really good after care advice. very happy, now generating electricity!
The design, installation and results all deserve five stars. Everyone at Contact Solar has been good to deal with, all questions have been answered and the installation is exceeding expectations.
Really good team, very helpful and accessible. More than happy.
Installation went smoothly all the paperwork was handled very efficiently and promise to be on hand if any difficulties arise.
All aspects from start to finish have been amazing.
Very good service. I had some teething problems regarding the app. The telephone support then provided was excellent.
I found contact solar very helpful, every stage ,the installation team where very quick ,can't fault the workmanship, the installation was completed around 4hours
I used contact solar to fit my new solar panels and batteries, service has been second to none, communication from start to finish has been spot on and a pleasure, the guys that came to fit them were very polite and professional I was very impressed they took me through everything what they had done and why they did it and how the system worked. The staff on the phones have been great and polite answering every question I had with confidence really great services and have already recommended them to friend.
The level of service received from initial call with sales team right the way through to handover surpassed my expectations. The team are extremely friendly, supportive and nothing is too much trouble. I’d highly recommend the service provided and I’m looking forward to an ongoing relationship with Contract Solar. Thanks to all of you that have helped on my journey!
Contact Solar were excellent from start to finish. I would highly recommend to anyone.
Used Contact Solar for a large array and battery bank. Smooth and stress free throughout the process. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get a PV system.
What makes this company first class is the communications with every department that made the installation seamless, Turned up on time for survey, scaffolding and installation. Very neat and professional installation. Totally recommended. Waiting for set up but that has been promised as soon as payment received,
From my first contact, the process of ordering solar panels, inverter and batteries, to fitting has been smooth and effortless. Building assessor gave advice where needed and the fitters did an excellent job (and beyond). Inverter read outs were explained and contact with Solar staff was helpful in getting the apps running. Just waiting for everything to come together to export to the grid.
great company to have your Solar batteries done with , no issues , good workmen all good
It has been a great experience from the sales team surveyor and post installation team everyone made it a easy friendly and hopefully a sucess. We havent used any electricity from the grid since installation. The app to track what's happening 👀 is good too. Well done to all the team at Contact solar. Also looks great.
Excellent service and especially how they dealt with my technical issue. Very professional
From first contact to the final sign off the whole process and the service I received was excellent. All contractors, which include the isolator fitter, surveyor, scaffolders and the panel fitters, all arrived on time and completed their task quickly and effectively. The fitters were very efficient and my installation was done in a day. They even put the inverter and batteries in my attic, which was a hot and stuffy space to work in on a very warm day. All the phone contacts knew their stuff and i felt no pressure to accept anything additional, but I did add an additional battery! I was very happy with the overall price too, considering everyone involved. I found Contact Solar through EDF who are my energy supplier.
Great stuff, from start to finish, great communication and clear guidance all the way, thank you.
Review of my solar-and-battery installation by Contact Solar I recently chose Contact Solar for a new PV system with battery storage and was very happy with how smoothly everything went. Initial advice Dominic talked me through system sizing and pricing in plain language, so I felt clear on what I was buying and why. Planning and scheduling Dates for the survey, scaffolding and installation were set up quickly, and I got timely updates at each step—no need to chase. Installation day The crew turned up when expected, were polite and tidy, and finished the job in about six hours. Handover and follow-up Joanne handled the handover and checked in afterwards to make sure everything was running well. She also took care of the paperwork for the EDF SEG tariff, which made life easier. Overall Good communication, efficient work and helpful follow-up. I’d happily recommend Contact Solar. I just wish i had space for more panels and could then install a larger battery
Contact Solar were absolutely superb from start to finish. I could not fault the customer service, emails and proposals arrived immediately, and when we went forward with the job, everything was so much quicker than expected. The tech team on the day fitted the panels, batteries and inverter quickly, explained everything in detail and the office was in touch by the end of the day to start handover to the new tariff. On the app now, watching the sunshine lower bills! I would thoroughly recommend using Contact Solar to get your solar energy up and running.
Very professional service , clean tidy installation can highly recommend
Great service, professional and courteous throughout from initial quote to the installation team and follow up afterwards. Would not hesitate to recommend
Administration kept me upto date with all works and the installation team work well left the area clean and tidy. They explained what they had done and how it works
Absolutely Thrilled with Our New Solar & Battery System! ☀️🔋 We couldn't be happier with the recent design and installation of our solar and battery system! From start to finish, the entire process was seamless, professional, and incredibly well-executed. The design phase was fantastic. The team really took the time to understand our energy needs and custom-tailor a solution that was perfect for our home. They explained everything clearly, answered all our questions, and made sure we felt confident in the proposed system. When it came to the installation, the crew was outstanding. They were efficient, meticulous, and clearly experts in their field. They worked cleanly and respectfully, ensuring minimal disruption to our daily routine. The finished installation looks incredibly neat and tidy – a true testament to their attention to detail. We're already seeing a significant difference in our energy bills and have peace of mind knowing we're contributing to a more sustainable future. If you're considering solar and battery, look no further. This company delivers top-notch service, superb craftsmanship, and genuine results. Highly, highly recommend!
This was the third solar system we have had installed by Contact Solar. The process is so easy. You ask for a quote; they advise how many panels they can fit on your roof and the size of battery. When you are ready, they arrange for scaffolding, they install and show you what you need to know. They then provide all the paper you need to apply to your energy provider so you can send surplus energy to the grid. The install is very professional, looks and functions great. I highly recommend Contact Solar.
Clear instructions in a polite friendly manner. Clear responses to questions.
I have a 3 phase supply with a existing solar package. I wanted a secondary tesla solar system and battery storage. Ryan methodically reviewed my request and working with his technical manager designed what I required at a reasonable price. I've subsequently placed an order. Well Done Ryan. Good work. Paul (somerset)
An absolutely fantastic company to deal with. Contact Solar are an absolutely professional company. The staff are I credibly knowledgeable and go the extra mile to ensure you have a seamless installation right from quote to installation. The onside assessment team are both friendly and ensure you have full understanding of the installation process. The installation team were excellent. Ensuring a high quality job and then take you around the installed equipment explaining what each piece is and why it is installed in its position. They clean up all areas were they work. They are a real asset to the company. After installation of your system they have a dedicated Handover Team to deal with all the transfere paperwork for SEG Registration and activation of the EDF Empower tariff. They give you the same staff member through the process to ensure continuity. They cannot do enough for you. This is a very professional company who have very high standards and clearly set the bar high. You pay for quality and they have this in abundance. I thoroughly recommend you use Contact Solar. Well done! Everyone at Contact Solar.
My experience with contact solar was great no issues whatsoever
Contact solar have been really good from start to finish. I was happy with the deal but the communication and then speed at which the work was scheduled in after the scaffolding went up was really quick (next working day I think). The scaffolders were professional and the team doing the install were excellent. It was terrible weather conditions but they just pushed on through. They ended up coming back because half of the panels they had noticed had a scratch on them - which they had picked up on. They finished the job 2 days later in about an hour and a half and I’m really happy with the result. The cabling and work is really neat and the system is generating a lot. Very happy with everything.
Really pleased with process , team very well organised, clean install couldn't fault them, well done
Went with Contact Solar after recieving a lot of calls from other companys. The offer was clear and the benefits were convincing enough to go forward with the installation. I have 12 panels.. one inverter.. and a two battery storage system. The team organised the scaffolding..the installers were there bright and early even though we are located some distance from their base... They did a good job in an impressive time...They explained the running of the system and set my phone app to monitor it's performance.. I can say that in the first two weeks my old house meter has used 15 Kwh.. meaning the the solar panels and batteries are providing the rest.. and giving some back to the grid... all shown clearly on my App. So with the sunny days we have had recently.. the system is working brilliantly.
Super friendly, efficient and clear help and support.
Very friendly helpful installers, new what they were doing and very quick.
Absolutely wonderful From the first point of contact to the end, everyone knew the exact date I needed the panels fitted, due to my job. My questions got answered quickly, politely and friendly. The workmen were great, talked us through the whole process, they were very polite and friendly. Great service.
From start to finish Contact Solar have been a pleasure to deal with. Everyone from the phone calls and support to the installation team have made the whole process easy and an enjoyable experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Contact Solar.
I couldn't have chosen a better company than Contact Solar to have installed the solar installation at my home. They were first class from start to finish including arranging my solar tariff with EDF. The installation teams workmanship was first class. When they left you wouldn't know that I had add any work carried out except for the 14 shinny new solar panels on my house roof.
Fantastic. We are really pleased with everything.
Everything went as promised. Very professional, couldn't be happier.
Brilliant customer service once again from Antonia at Contact Solar , always there to help and support the customer.
I had Contact Solar install my solar system in June 2024 and it has been working well and efficiently. I was talked through on how to set up the App and use it after installation, but unfortunately, I did not use it much then. I now need to control how I export electricity and manage my battery, and other issues, so I got in touch with Contact Solar for advice. I was put in touch with Antonia their technical know all who patiently took me through all the processes on the app explaining everything slowly and clearly as well as throwing in a lot of tips at the same time. She did not rush things and made sure I was comfortable with all the information/knowledge she was giving me. It was a lot to take in, but she backed it up by sending me the information by email as well. She also contacted me later to find out how I was getting on and that I could contact her if I required any further help. I would like to mention that everyone I had contact with in Contact Solar have been helpful, understanding, knowledgeable and professional in their dealings with me. If you intend going Solar, I recommend Contact Solar as they are highly professional, expert in their field, have friendly & polite staff and excellent customer services.
Great service. All questions were answered in a polite and professional manner 👍🏼
Nice company to deal with. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Contractors arrived on schedule and completed the job well.
The instalation went well a few minor problems which are now sorted
Impossible to fault, well priced, excellent and efficient service. Friendly and engaging staff. Always willing to help and nothing is too much to ask! 100% recommend for your solar needs!
Could not be happier with the work done by Contact Solar. Very professional at every stage from first contact, through the roof installation of the panels and the batteries in the garage and handover administration. Very competitive on price as well. Top staff throughout.
This company sets the bar high for customer service and I can honestly say is one of the best companies I have dealt with in a very long time. From the initial contact, consultation, through to installation and continued after sales service I felt that I was their first priority. Friendly, knowledgeable and efficient all the team succeeded in providing an excellent job which was second to none. The initial stages were not entirely 'plain sailing.' There were hiccups concerning specific electrical requirements before installation. Although not Contract Solar's responsibility they were able to offer help, advice, and solutions. In addition to the amazing staff employed, another bonus is the ability to speak to them over the phone which speeds up the entire process. The various stages are discussed and then confirmed by email with any necessary documentation. Additional training is also offered on the app downloaded to monitor the system. I am certainly a very happy customer and am optimistic that my energy generation and return on investment will make me equally as delighted. I strongly recommend Contact Solar to anyone considering the purchase of solar panels.
At my last house we had solar panels installed and it wasn't a great experience. The experience expertise and professionalism of Contact Solar was such a welcome change. Everyone I have dealt with has had me as the customer at the centre of their thoughts and efforts. Years of experience has paid off as the processes are really slick and well executed. Highly recommend.
We really cannot fault the service we have received from Contact Solar throughout the process of getting our solar system installed. Right from the word go, their customer service has been exemplary. There was no pressure on us following our initial enquiry - simply a genuine effort to make sure that the system was right for us. We were able to discuss the various options open to us and get clear, objective advice to ensure that we got a suitable installation and the best value. The initial quotation was highly detailed, with estimates of the savings we were likely to accrue. We were told that Contact preferred to be conservative with their estimates of system efficiency and even 24 hours in, this appears to be the case. When the scaffolding was installed, prior to installation, the company were kind enough to point out that there were some problems with our roof. They showed great flexibility in delaying the installation so that these issues could be corrected - really excellent customer service. The installation itself was completed in a day and we are impressed at how neat everything looks - the installers are clearly very good at their jobs. Again, the installation team have been in close contact throughout, providing helpful advice and even taking forward the change to a new electricity tariff, so that we can export energy to the grid. The team at the end of the phone deserve a special mention. They are friendly, quick, efficient and knowledgeable, and nothing seems to be too much trouble. Highly recommended by us!
Very pleased with the service provided from Contact Solar for my Solar Installation and Battery Storage Solution. From the initial discussion about my requirements, through to installation day. The whole process could not have been any easier. The whole team were friendly and professional. I Would definitely recommend them if you are considering a solar install.
2 very personable guys put in a very long day doing an excellent job installing our system, clearing up well and remaining cheerful to the end. Very commendable. Then very helpful, patiently explained run through of how the app works and how to interpret the data. Service from this company as been excellent throughout.
An excellent team at Contact Solar. Responses to queries are very prompt and efficient. The installation of the solar panels has been very good from initial enqiry to handover. The existence of a Support Team for the lifetime of the installation is a tremendous advantage.
We have had solar panels fitted since February 2025. They were fitted by Contact Solar and the experience from ordering to installing was excellent and smooth. But to add to the experience I have had contact with Antonia at Contact Solar, who has been helping navigate the system, she has answered any queries I've had very quickly, either by email or an arranged phone call and talked me through the system, she even kept in contact with me over the Easter weekend incase I had problems. I cannot recommend Contact Solar and Antonia more highly.
Recently had solar and battery install by the team at contact solar. Straightforward and easy to deal with all installed on time no issues or drama. From the scaffolders to install engineers and team at contact solar very east to deal with would highly recommend their services.
Excellent service. We have just had our panels fitted. They turned up on time worked in a gale both wind and rain and completed the whole job in one day. The contractors were excellent and contact solar has answered every question with alacrity and efficiency . I can recommend this company to anyone looking to fit solar panels
After trying and failing to change my connection to our newly installed fibre broadband by following the Contact Solar video instructions, I had a call with Antonia who was charming, patient and helpful and who got it sorted quickly and easily. She consulted a colleague when she needed to check something and then talked me through the steps. Brilliant service, well done Contact Solar and Antonia !
After spending a lot of time obtaining quotes and speaking with several companies. We settled on Contact Solar to supply and fit our Solar array with battery. Through out the process, Contact Solar kept up full informed and looked after all the paperwork and switching tariff that included a Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). Once installed. they talked us through on how to setup, the app to suit our needs, plus on going help. If you are thinking about Solar panels, do not hesitate in contacting Contact Solar.
Contact Solar installation team were exceptional. Despite being a man-down the Team of 2 worked like troopers to install our Solar Panel system, Power-bank, EV Charger and all associated equipment. They were both professional, courteous, helpful and friendly. They worked a very long day to complete the job and tided up after themselves. Would highly recommend and definitely use again on any future project.
I've recently (last week) had the installation of solar panels from Contact Solar - everything from the scaffolding team through to he install team on my roof to the people behind the scenes in the office has been amazing. I'm a bit annoyed that they couldn't control the weather though, as that month of unbroken sunshine ended the day after my panels went up - however, I'm still getting free power, fully charging my battery and able to sell excess back to the grid. I'm delighted:-)
Good communication throughout the whole process. Great installation team.
Great experience from start to completion - "Contact Solar" are very responsive to questions and make every step easy from start to finish - very happy with the outcome.
Very efficient service, very competitively priced (much cheaper than another well known national company) and very helpful staff. Bring on the sunshine!
The Friendly Contact Solar Team kept in contact with me from my first point of interest to the completion of the installation & connection to the supply network. All the issues of speaking to my Energy Supplier / National Grid were undertaken by the team making the whole process less stressful. Thank you Contact Solar Team from a very satisfied customer.
very informative staff and workmen, very tidy upon completion
Excellent, from design through to installation and after sales
Couldn't recommend more highly. They are very professional and considerate, as well as skilled and competent. They kept me informed at every stage.
Very pleasant lady ,
my experience with Contact Solar has always been first class from 1st phone call to completion of installation.i was kept informed of every stage and was extremely happy with the service and information i received.Would highly recommend Contact Solar
Really pleased with my experience with Contact Solar. Communication was clear and responsive throughout, and the installation team were professional and efficient. The whole process—from quote to completion—was well-managed, and I felt supported at each stage. Would happily recommend them to anyone considering solar.
Good communication and easily installed, up and running very quickly
Absolutely 1st Class company to deal with from start to finish. 11/10
A very professional organisation. The installation had a few issues (I’m a bit picky) but the team fully resolved everything to my satisfaction and the customer service desk was very helpful with software setup post installation.
Ellie took the time and patience to talk me through the procedure even when the system would not play ball. Very reassuring thank you.
Contact Solar have been excellent from the initial quotation right through to installation and even helping setting up the export tariff. They are absolutely brilliant and I can thoroughly recommend them.
The panels were installed Dec 2021. Very quick and neat job. Everything has been working well. I was told recently by my elctricity supplier that I could arrange to charge the batteries overnight at cheap tariff and use the battery power during the day instead of the from the grid at the higher tariff. Antonia at Contact Solar was brilliant today, explaining all the graphs of the system's performance on the app, and showing me how to get the batteries to charge overnight for even better efficiency and to reduce my electricity bill. Brilliant!
Needed to update my Solar app with new password, Easy step by step guide from support. Done in 2mins !! Brilliant thanks 👍
The whole process started with a relaxed, no pressure discussion over the phone with Christian. The sales approach was calm, open and there was no pressure to proceed unknowingly. I postponed for a few months, did more research and dropped Christian an email. We discussed the Tesla Powerwall 3 and 14 x 450w panels. Contact Solar quoted and gave me time to think over the proposal. I received other quotes, but felt that the sales approach was pushy, impersonal and they tried to sell me a system I didn't want or had never heard of. Contact Solar were the exact opposite. I signed the proposal and Contact Solar submitted the G99 to National Grid. Weeks later, this was approved and a home visit booked. Another week, scaffolding was erected and the Powerwall 3 system was installed today. The installation is very tidy and the team installing the system were excellent, helpful and polite. The work was high quality (see photo), not rushed and everything explained. I am currently running the whole house off the Tesla Powerwall and feeling very smug! For those cautious, don't be. Contact Solar have been excellent at every stage. They even matched Octopus Energy's price on BlackFriday even after I accepted their initial quote. The only negative I had is that I considered a car charger but the request much have gotten mixed up between departments. It wasn't a big issue and I didn't chase it (I can charge at the train station). If you want to add one, make sure you include it at the start of the process to avoid confusion.
Antonia from EDF Contact Solar has been first class and answered sll questions perfectly. No problem in recommending her and EDF.
Fantastic experience with your company from start to finish 100% satisfied with everything and would highly recommend anyone thinking about solar panels to use contact solar you won't be disappointed
A simple and professional experience with this company, no fuss or nonsense, clear information, good price and the installation team where thoroughly fantastic. Top marks for a job well done 19/03/25 Had to switch the home router to a new one, a few issues with connections excellently handled by Antonia and the reception team
Excellent service, second to none! Very knowledgeable staff and very patient. Nothing is too much trouble. Would recommend.
Can't speak highly enough. From start to finish, the process was seamless. Customer service (including after sales) has been second to none I have experienced. Thank you.
Knowledgable efficient helpful and understanding. More than happy to help and advise. Can recommend all members of staff from sales to site fixers. All work done at how house was to a very high standard. Back up from Antonia was to a very high standard. Dave f and jill
I can’t thank Dominic from Contact Solar enough for his invaluable advice. Sadly my elderly parents did not buy their panels from this company ( but really wish we had) but Contact Solar have helped me and advised us when the company we did use failed to fulfil their obligations after taking all the money. Dominic has taken the time to explain what’s gone wrong with the installation we’ve had and guided us in a resolution and if this is an insight into their customer service I think you are in good hands.
The team that installed my panels and the inverter and battery were excellent and did a marvellous job and with my experience you get a better team
Amazing system with a great dashboard to show performance metrics. Joseph was fantastic in explaining how the system works and how to optimise value for money with the system. Joseph was patient, explained everything very clearly and answered our many questions! A great experience and we are delighted with our new solar system and it's significant benefits!
top class service, antonia was patient, understanding and technically spot on david ross
Fabulous support and installation experience, wish I had made the investment earlier
Very pleased indeed with Contract Solar from initial discussions through to installation and afterwards. A very professional company with a quick positive response to questions. Would definitely recommend them if you are looking for an installer.
Excellent service from Contact Solar. Would highly recommend them if you are interested in solar panels and batteries. Very friendly and professional team, from our first discussion with Ben all the way to Lauren in the Handover team. Mark and Ryan installed the inverter and batteries and I could not fault them. Very courteous and professional. Excellent work and left the area spotless. Thank you Contact Solar on a job well done.
We had an array of solar panels installed, with a battery system by Contact Solar (12 months ago). The experience in dealing with the company has been nothing but positive. Excellent initial consultation process to ensure we installed the most appropriate system with capital costs clearly explained (no pressure selling) at a competitive price, followed by a well-organised and efficient install with Sunsynk batteries and online monitoring app. On a couple of occasions when our online connection has gone down (power cuts etc) there has been excellent and friendly advice on the end of a phone to get the Sunsynk monitoring up and fully running very quickly. Thank you Contact Solar. I can highly recommend this company.
So a date is given, cars cleared, pets held inside along with other prep work!, so they turn up late, do half the job and go! Try calling them , have to hang on the phone for ages, and they don't really know what's going on! start to have large doubts about the whole company!
The staff at Contact Solar (from the people in the office to the outside fitters) have been so helpful and courteous from the onset to completion and beyond. The product is very good and the price was very competitive. Anyone considering solar panels should definitely speak to the people at Contact Solar
Update March 2025 Matt came and sorted the roof tile in less than 10 minutes. It had been a communication breakdown within the office that had led to the long delay in getting it resolved but Contact Solar were apologetic. I had sent numerous emails and had called so I'm unsure what else I could have done to help the situation along but all sorted now. Update Feb 2025. Post installation I saw that a tile had been broken,as this is a new build I know it was during install. I raised this with the team and they were very apologetic and said someone would be out to fix it. This was over 4 months ago,the tile has now completely split apart. I'm now having to chase them. It feels as though aftercare support is a second thought which is a pity as the initial service was great. Reduced to 2 stars. Original Review From the start Contact Solar were fantastic. Calum did my online survey and supported me excellently with all the questions I had. Matt did the installation of 12 panels and a battery in a day and was so professional. Then Grace conducted the handover and covered off everything. Contact Solar do everything for you,contacting DNO on your behalf,registering MCS certificate with Building regs etc. Highly recommend this company for any solar needs. Thanks everyone.
Very good experience with our installation and support from Contact Solar . Any issues raised are quickly dealt with efficiently. Most recently Antonia gave us great instructions on using the system monitoring app. Highly recommended
I used Contact Solar support line today and found their service to be first class. My query was handled courteously, efficiently and followed up with an email detailing everything we discussed. I cannot recommend this company highly enough.
Excellent service throughout from quote, to installation and to completion. I highly recommend Contact Solar.
Excellent company to do business with, great product, comms and installation
Great service panels all installed in a day. Only downside is the App is difficult to understand however once I contacted them they talked me through how to set it all up and were most helpful.
The person I spoke to regards my enquiry, Antonia, was very knowledgeable and courteous. I received answers to all of my enquires and this was backed up with a comprehensive email with everything I had discussed with Antonia
We have moved from initial enquiry to an operating system in less than two months. Everyone we have dealt with at Contact has been really helpful and courteous.
From the quotation process, right thru too the installation and commissioning, Contact Solar was amazing all the way thru. I'm so glad I went with them. They made everything so easy, and remotely set up my system to utilize my cheaper Octopus Intelligent rates thru the night to charge the batteries. Its great waking up to fully charged batteries which have lasted thru the day as the solar keeps them topped up. Now to see the cheaper electric bills roll in. UPDATE: More fantastic help from Antonia today in the support team. After a broadband switch which disconnected all my smart tech in the house, but also my Sunsynk inverter connection. Antonia took the time to talk me thru how to reset my WiFi connection to the inverter dongle, but also raised a ticket with them for any Firmware updates. Can't recommend Contact Solar enough for all their help, fantastic company to deal with
I would highly recommend this company, 5 stars for professionalism and communication. I would like to say a massive thank you to Niamh and Holly they was brilliant from start to finish always polite and friendly and so easy to deal with and any extra information I needed to know they always had the answers quick! They are a credit to the company! The install was perfect from start to finish and I would recommend this company to anyone! Thanks again for all your hard work I really appreciate it!
Got of to a bad start let down twice for smart meter install, but after that brilliant the gentleman who came to fit the inverter and battery was first t class clean and tidy. But the icing on the cake was Antonia by far the best customer service I have ever come across she explained how everything worked so throughly nothing was to much trouble any question I asked was was answered so polite an employee you should be proud of.
If you are thinking of solar panels i can recommend contact solar, the whole process has been very smooth. A nice neat job and the office staff kept me informed at each stage of the process and even sorted out the paperwork with the grid and our supplier (thank you Lauren) and the app shows us what we are generating. It is satisfying to see a zero grid usage on the smartmeter when the electric heating and the washing machine is on.
Contact Solar have made the whole process effortless from initial quotation to the final installation. Highly recommend them
I think it is really important to feel confident in the advice and guidance provided - we were extremely impressed with Matthew Clark - really nice to deal with someone so professional and considerate towards the customer and their needs! Many thanks Matthew for your time and consideration :)
From initial contact to final completion of the installation, I have nothing but praise for everyone involved. Since installation, whenever I have had any queries, I have had prompt and clear answers and advice. I cannot recommend this company highly enough.
Just had a Tesla Battery fitted to match my Contact Solar panels. All completed on time and with great care for our property. Looking forward to saving some money with the benefit of supply guaranteed by the new battery.
Really positive experience
Very good customer service, recommended from my experience
I've had their panels for about a month now, and every interaction with Contact Solar has met or exceeded my expectations. What has really impressed me is the aftersales care and attention I've been provided with. Nothing is too much trouble, any question I've asked about the system and its optimisation has been answered in a friendly, jargon free way. In Antonia, Contact Solar have a customer care superstar who takes the time to help and go above and beyond when it comes to assisting me with getting the best out of my set up. Thanks CS and Antonia especially.
Exceptional Solar & Battery Installation by Contact Solar! I recently had a solar and battery system installed by Contact Solar, and I can confidently say it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The team was highly professional, knowledgeable, and made the entire process seamless. From the initial consultation to the final setup, Contact Solar took the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring I got the best system for my energy needs. The installation crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and their attention to detail was outstanding. The panels were installed neatly, and the battery integration was flawless. They also made sure to leave my property spotless once the job was complete. Since the installation, my energy bills have dropped significantly, The system works perfectly, and I love being able to track my energy usage through the app. If you’re thinking about switching to solar, I highly recommend Contact Solar. Their expertise, excellent customer service, and commitment to quality truly set them apart. A five-star experience all around!
A great company to deal with, helped me through the process and we're very happy to answer lots of questions! Highly recommended!
Excellent service from this firm. Everyone associated with this firm that we have dealt with have been courteous, pllite and very professional. All done on dates an times agreed. Scaffolders arrived and on date agreed and put up materials then two fitters arrived on date agreed and installed system withint the day time slot agreed. Paperwork all completed easily and very polite, professional and very tidy workforce. Have no complaints at all and would highly recommend this firm. This was only one of two firms who would quote us as apparently some companies could not affix solar panels to our type of roof - Rosemary tiles. Conact solar managed with no issues and no broken tiles! Very satisfied customer
Great professional work from Contact Solar - well managed and organised - smooth end to end process from proposal to installation and support Christian was very brilliant with providing all details and handling any queries - very friendly team of electricians, scaffolding team and roofers (Callum and Nathaniel ) who went beyond their work and replaced some of the broken tiles
Thanks to Antonia for helping me set up charge and discharge times for the battery today as well as explaining how to find export readings on Smart meter. A usual I find Contact Solar staff to be customer focused and being available to help navigate the APP and how to make best use of options available. Thank you!
Received great information and service throughout the whole process. The team are very knowledgeable and curtious. Would highly recommend Contact Solar when considering any solar installation.
Absolutely amazing. The help you ever step .Helping you pick the right products. Arranging installation. And final handover. The installers are brilliant. You can monitor how your system work through a app and desktop. Would recommend them highly
Very helpful and informative operators. Process was very quick and efficient. Great price. Kit os all good and working well.
Really impressed with the service received from contact solar and the installation team. At planning stage the contact solar team were easily contactable and responded to our emails within a day. The installation team were fantastic, three lads from Wakefield, before the job started we walked down the house and locations for installation, they gave me a chance to share any concerns and to point out were I wanted cable runs. At one point they even offered to go to the hardware store to purchase white cable ducting to match the ducting on my distribution boxes, I didn't take them up on the offer but again just demonstrates the level of service. Upon completion of the work they took me around the set up, pointed out what they had done and were they had routed the system, the lad who had installed the solar panels was particularly impressed with the layout of the panels, equal to the roof and in line with the roof peaks which to be fair does look good. Overall I would recommend using Contact solar, the set up I have is fab, looks really good and overall I'm impressed with the service.
Really good service from start to finish and aftercare too! Highly recommended
Staff are very knowledgeable and really helpful. Their support staff are really good at handling any questions or queries we had once the system was up and running as well!
We enquired about getting solar panels and a Tesla Powerwall 3 installed in our new home and we were contacted by one of their specialists, Matthew Clark, in order to determine our requirements and to give us an overview of the whole process. Matt was a god send. He took us through the process informing us of everything that was needed along with our options. We also went to Octopus for a quote but their sales people were lacking and took days to respond and failed to send us our quote (After we called them after a week the quote amazingly appeared in our inbox). However, Matt of Contact Solar was there within 30 minutes each time we had a question and quotes were provided within an hour of putting the phone down. We decided to go with contact Solar due to Matt and the support we got from him and I hope it continues (With EDF) throughout the life of our pending solar system. Well done Matt and EDF.
Really fantastic company and service. Very communicative ways throughout the process and always responded to queries. Very very smooth throughout and the technicians who attended my home were all professional and pleasant to have in and around my home. Time frames were excellent and people arrived and delivered on time and the costs were very good. really delighted with this company and would highly recommend.
Had my solar & batteries over a year now very happy with everything. Contact solar were great from start to finish & the support team are amazing.
First class install with sameday telecon followup
We had solar panels and batteries fitted and we are extremely please with the perfomance to date even in the winter months. Contact solar have been very helpful and all works have been carried out very professionally Thanks
Highly recommended. The installation and after care has been first class. Step by step instruction and someone is always available by phone to help with any additional queries. Everything working as hoped. Thanks...
Contact Solar have been a excellent choice for Solar Panel installation. I have been really well looked after from initial contact through to up and running installation. I will be recommending Contact Solar
Excellent service throughout and after sales - highly recommended
A well organised company with good quality installation, and a good price. They did what they said "on the tin". They gave a detailed quote, with a price that seemed competitive. They kept us informed throughout the 2 month period from quote to completion. They responded well to queries and could be reached on the phone or email well. The PV panels, battery, and inverter appear to work exactly as expected. what's not to like?
Great help over the phone from Ellie
After spending £26,000 on solar panels being promised the world, it was supposed to generate 25kwh. I currently get 1-2kwh at best which doesn’t run anywhere what I need for my business. Complete waste of money and I wish I never did it now. The whole process was a disaster from Damian lying through phone calls being a typical salesman. Also tried installing less panels than what was agreed, only got rectified becuase I climbed up the roof to check and was around 10 panels short !!
My experience with Contact Solar has been faultless, from calling in to get a quote to the installation and sorting out all the paper work. My system comprises of 15 panels, 1 hybrid inverter, 2 batteries and a few bits between them. The system has been running for just over a week now and although autumn weather means minimal generation, I can already see the difference in numbers. The staff at Contact Solar have been great. I could mention many names but that would do an injustice to the one or two names I miss out. Even the minor hitches were promptly sorted out, once the office was notified of the hitch. I highly recommend this company and their team.
I can highly recommend this company. They made the process of installing & setting up my solar panels run smoothly. They are always ready to help & easy to contact with no recorded messages or menus. I am now considering more panels now that I have a company I can trust.
All the people that I have dealt with at Contact Solar, have been most courteous and helpful and as a result the project has proceeded very quickly and satisfactorily.
Dear Kenzie, I have spent several hours looking at your quote and also perusing online to find and look at the product data sheets for the equipment within your proposal. We had a meeting to discuss all of this at 3 pm today. I have been sitting waiting for an hour and you have not called. At 3:30 pm I called your office and was put on hold for five minutes before the call was dropped. I then called your personal office landline which rang out after 30 seconds or so. I'm very disappointed and I will be putting this review online. It makes me suspicious about your positive feedback figures which I suspect are exaggerated. Please do not contact me again. Kind regards, Matthew
I was very satisfied with the work of your installation team. They carried out everything with the minimum of disruption and tidied up after the installation work. The units and their operation were explained to me as well as all the test work before they left. It was surprising such a big job was executed so quickly and professionally and James and his team should be commended for their excellent work
The query was dealt with very efficiently and has enabled me to get the most out of the system.
Excellent service,totally recommend.Every stage is fully explained and the process was seamless from start to finish with a truly professional team
Everyone, every team at Contact-Solar has been excellent. I rate them and their work very highly. Advice and information have been clear and timely; questions answered helpfully and promptly. Contact-Solar has taken a lead on all the complex paperwork associated with solar power generation and sale to the grid. The fitting team did an excellent, tidy job and took time to explain the equipment and fitting. Top team without doubt
I have downloaded the app today so I could see how System was working. But I could not see anything in the app so I gave contact solar A ring The young lady on the other end of the phone was very polite and put me through to the help support team. Rohan help me to get the app up and running. and told me how to set things up so I can get the best out of my system, thank you very much Rohan for your help👍👍👍🤓
Easy to find contact number, someone at the end of the line who can and does help with whatever is needed. Happy to take the time to talk me through changing internet details to relink solar panels when I didn't understand the YouTube video sent to help.
Company made a lot of effort to chase me up and keep me in the loop. They worked fast and well. They organised everything from start to finish and it really was the easiest thing to do. All the team are polite and friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend them if you’re into renewable energy.
I have nothing but praise for all the staff at Contact Solar ( Megan, Antonia, Grace, Callum, and Stuart, are names that come to mind). Throughout the whole process, each individual has gone out of their way, by explaining their recommendations, and guiding me through the options. Although the system of panels and batteries, has only been operative for 1 month, I am amazed at the savings, that will accrue over time, and this is during short wintery days in November. ! The response time , whether by phone or email, is second to none, and it has always been possible to speak to someone during office hours, and this cannot be said for some of their competitors. I have no hesitation in recommending Contact Solar, they have exceeded my expectations.
Really pleased with service and resulting work. Team quickly dealt with any problems that arose with the installation. Men even worked through a snow storm to complete work.
We have been delighted not only by the efficienct and clarity of communications we have had with Contact Solar and also by the efficienct and great teamwork of the installation team. They have achieved a great result.
The company were recommended to us. We opted for this company after getting a few quotes for solar panels. They were very professional from the start, quick to respond to any queries / questions and very reasonably priced. The scaffolding & installation teams were prompt, going about their jobs without any issues. The company are easily accessible on the phone or email & are polite and knowledgeable.
Mark did an excellent job at my house His work rate and skill set was amazing He did not stop all day until the job was complete He is a real asset to Contact Solar
Excellent- Would recommend Contact Solar to anyone wishing to have Solar Panels and Batteries installed.
I have to say I have found the whole experience to be stress free. It didn’t take long from my first enquiry to installation. Great customer service, the install team were fabulous as has been the after care. Top marks!
Spent a lot of time researching solar installs, and received a number of quotes from various companies before settling with Contact Solar. The assistance from start to finish was great, the installation is very tidy and the post install assistance has been equally good. Its a big financial commitment, and contact solar offered the best complete package that ticked all the boxes I could possibly think of after research, and definitely puts a big question mark over some of the other quotes and things I was told beforehand from other companies.
From the quote and initial checks to the installation, and the customer services teams I have found the whole Contact Solar team to be fantastic. Everyone has been professional, polite and quick to help. I would definitely recommend them, especially if you want professional guaranteed work.
Mason and Jack arrived at 10.00 and had finished the complete installation at 3.00pm the same day. They worked none stop needed servicing with just two cups of coffee. They identified the best place to install the connecting box (outside) and made best use of the small space available in our attic for the invertor and battery. Great workers and a credit to Contact Solar. The system is working fine and we can already see that we are saving money by drawing current from the battery. Antonia of Contact Solar did an excellent job talking me through how to read the logging app. I highly recommend Contact Solar.
Excellent experience. The whole team from start to finish have been great. The installation team were local to the area and were an absolute credit to the company. Very professional and kept us informed of how the job was going all along the process.
Superb team, helpful, and efficient service pre, and post-install. Highly recommend Contact Solar.
Had a positive experience with this installer, eveything was installed to a high standard, 8 mobths on and not had any issues and if I have had queries they have been answered promptly by their support team. Their assigned installer Matt and his team did a great job.
The sales process was very informative and answered all our questions. We were given time to decide which system would work best for us and it came within our budget. Once we decided to go ahead the scaffolding was erected care being taken to entry and exits from home and garage. A week later the installation took place. The installer discuss with us how and where we wanted the batteries and inverter putting, excellent communication throughout the installation and similarly with the office staff. After the installation the following day all the scaffolding was removed. It was a very professional operation from start to finish and we can definitely highly recommend Contact Solar. Obviously now looking forward to saving on our electricity bills 😀
I have had my system for over a year now and all works well . What I have been most impressed with is the friendly and helpful post installation support with the app and settings to help you maximise your system . Emails get responded to in a timely way . Phone calls get set up to talk you through your questions . It's very good
First class service, could not whish for better. J
Brilliant service, workmen polite and helpful, tidy and cleaned up very well. Explained everything very well.Would highly recommended.
They contacted me after I asked for a quote. Discussed the property using google satellite view with which roof space would be suitable for solar panels. They said they would send a quote across and follow up a week later with a call to discuss. The call came just over a week later, but no quote was sent. They apologised and said a quote would be sent over as they had a problem with the quoting system last week. A week later and still no quote sent over. I've decided to look at other companies now as I've had no information from them after 2 calls, and will probably end up getting another call soon to discuss their non-existent quote. Update: Upgraded from 1 star to 3 stars. They have been in touch again after the quote was sent through about an hour after me posting my review. They have apologised and have talked me through the quote and process. I'm now at the stage of deciding between Contact Solar and one of the other quotes that I started after my initial review. Will update the review again once we've either progressed with Contact Solar or decided on a different installer.
First class from start to finish. The sales person Calum was very knowledgeable and helpful, able to answer any questions. The installation chap Jamie was excellent and friendly and did a very tidy job. The ongoing support is superb, with Antonia calling frequently to check how things are going, answering any questions and remotely tweaking things if I ask her to. If only all companies were as good as this!
Great fast response support given today to technical problem - talked through how to solve in detail by Antonia who was really helpful
Great customer service, Antonia was very friendly and sorted out my query quickly, felt reassured if I had any other concerns that I could contact them.
Contact Solar installed my system over 2 years ago and when I was having trouble with my Sunsynk App I was concerned they may not be interested. Far from it, I spoke to Antonia in their Reception Team, who after a few questions diagnosed the problem. She then sent me the instructions to resolve the issue offering to phone me back if I had any problems. Being a technophobe I did and she was true to her word and phoned me back exactly when she said she would and patiently, professionally and pleasantly guided me through the process taking time and trouble doing so until it was up and running again. As a result I can not praise Antonia highly enough or my experience of Contact Solar's customer aftercare service.
Very professional and great business to work with. the team have been very helpful at every point of the delivery.
Contact solar are really good,we have had our system in for almost 2 years and we are really happy. Very helpful and professional company to deal with. I recently used there referral scheme to refer a friend. He got 500 off his bill and I had 500 for refering he . Really can't fault them
Hi I was very cautious about using one of theses company’s but went for it anyway had no problems at with contact solar very professional through out the whole process and afterwards as well so 5 stars from me . Thanks very much
Customer services was very good from the start install was done very professionally on the day and what a great team very impressed couldn't fault any thing 10 out of 10
Matt has just completed the installation of my Solar Panel system and ran me through the system, its controls and the information/paperwork I was to receive from the office regarding, the system monitoring App, MCS certificates, warranties etc. The whole installation, including the panels, inverter, batteries, meter, cabling etc have been carefully and swiftly installed to leave me with a very neat system that is already, even on this very dull day, meeting the current house load and also charging the batteries.. Matt also tided up before he left. This professional approach was matched by the surveyor who came to confirm the installation design, the scaffolders who came the day before the installation and the Contact Solar office staff who handled my initial enquiry, kept me informed of progress, answered my every question and, post installation, have provided me with additional information regarding the App, SEG tariff, warranties and MCS certificate. I chose Contact Solar mainly because of their good reviews and I am very happy to add to these. Mr George Rowden.
Great company to deal with. I had my system installed 4 weeks ago and in particular found the after sales support really helpful.
We have just used Contact Solar to fit a PV system at home. From first contact to the after sales service the team have been outstanding and professional. In particular, we want to mention Dominic, Mason, Matt and Grace for being so outstanding. We have no reservations in recommending Contact Solar as a PV supplier and fitter.
Very patient during the sales process. Once I locked in with them, scaffolding and installation were very quick. Installed and working in one day.
We changed our router which meant that the Sunsynk App didn't work. Not being particularly tech savvy Antonia patiently went through it with me on the phone to correct that. A very pleasant experience.
I had a problem with my data logger which I could not resolve. However with Antonia’s help it got fixed. It wasn’t a straight forward fix but with Antonia’s knowledge and patience the data logger was reconnected to the Wi-Fi A very helpful member of Sunsynk who took the time to guide me through a very complicated process.
Had a solar system installed and 2x batteries. Was surprised how easy and quick it was. Top notch
Excellent service!!
Excellent again. It has been a positive experience throughout. Antonia is really helpful with any support questions.
I bought a solar & battery plant from Contact Solar almost 2 years ago and have been very happy with the results. It includes a Sunsynk hybrid inverter that is very flexible & configurable. Changing settings allows me to maximise the electricity I export while keeping my batteries topped up.Ongoing Customer Service is excellent, even today I had a short tutorial from Antonia that showed me how to configure the plant to take advantage of the recent offers from Octopus for free electricity certain times of the day. She was very helpful & patient, walking me through all of the relevant settings.
Very happy with the service with Contact Solar, from the first contact through to when my solar panels have been installed. I spoke to various people at different stages in my journey and they were all very helpful. The companies they used for scaffolding and installation were also excellent. Would recommend them to anyone embarking on the solar panel journey. Update - I have had solar panels for about 2 years now. Antonia at Contact Solar has been an excellent personal contact for the few niggles I've had (including a new hub from EE which disconnected me from my solar panel app). It gives me a lot of confidence knowing that Antonia will stick with my problems until they are resolved. The rest of the team have also been helpful.
Joseph the technical guy was super informed, super helpful and explained it in a way even I understood. Great service.
I had my install done over a year ago, the team were fantastic, unlike other companies, the after sales team actually care, they take the time to listen and give advice. I have recommended Contact solar to a few people.
Solar panel installation completed today. Took about 5 weeks from start to finish. Solar Contact have been brilliant all the way through, managing all aspects of the design and installation brilliantly. All I had to do was sign the check! The back office people were great - really friendly and explained what was going on all the time. The guys on the installation team were especially good, being friendly and always willing to explain what was going on. They made a really good tidy job of things, despite some trying circumstances. The handover was also really good, with Contact Solar providing all the help and information necessary to set things up - even for someone with as little experience as me. Time will tell whether or not this is a good investment, but that won't be the fault of Contact Solar who have been friendly, courteous and quick to respond to queries throughout. I certainly have no complaints about how they have handled the job and how professional they have been.
Many thanks to Antonia for her patience & help today.I am not the best at anything WiFi etc but I was talked through it all step by step & made to feel I was confident enough to achieve the solution to my problem.😊
What an amazing company; very rare to find such great service in this day and age! . Every single member of the contact solar team I’ve interacted with has been completely professional, as well as being genuinely lovely people. My roof provided many challenges, which were all dealt with, quickly and effectively. The added peace of mind of warranties for equipment and workmanship are great to have but hopefully won’t be needed. The tie-in with a very good EDF tariff sealed the deal for me.
Very helpful company and installation carried out efficiently.
I was completely in the dark searching for a solar system, and after contacting a few companies I was confident to go ahead with Contact Solar. Make no mistake, they really know the business. The whole logistics before and after installation was brilliant and I am very pleased. On top of that, the follow up from their support team is absolutely amazing and they didn't let us down a single time.
My problem connecting the new broadband supplier was dealt with very quickly. I was guided through the process until I was connected to the new broadband. Excellent service.
Very pleased with this Business. It helped that they are the EDF recommended suppliers and fitters. The whole process went very smoothly. A well organised team. From my experience I would have no hesitation in recommending Contact Solar to any friends or neighbours looking to install a Solar Panel System. A 'Job Well Done'.
Very pleased with Solar installation team. All were very professional And very quick. Was also very pleased with the scaffolders who did a great job and in such a short time. Well done to all who worked on our installation including office sales, admin and surveying for working as a great team…. Regards Martin and Valentina Meredith
Once again Contact Solar excelled in its customer service. Antonia could not have been more courteous, helpful and patient in talking me through how to reconnect my Sunsynk system to my Wi-Fi following a change of Network Service provider. An absolute pleasure to deal with!
I have found Contact-Solar very responsive throughout the process of quotation, contract, installation and handover of what is the second solar PV system I have ordered from them. The scaffolders and installation team were very polite and pleasant, the office team were efficient and informative. Good value throughout. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
We had our solar panels installed today, they were professional and polite, left the place clean and tidy, I would definitely recommend them
My Solar were put on 17/04/24. I had great experience ( apart from 2 little humps )with a team at contact solar especially with Stephen , Stuart , Grace , Tanya and James . Panels were Put on by Matt white a decent experienced guy who had over 15 years of experience . Neat and clean Job was solely by him about in 5 hours . Company works on 100 % trust basis . No upfront payment was demanded . All the money was paid after the completion of job with 100 % customer satisfaction . I normally don’t leave review but I Would highly recommend them.
My choice of Contact Solar was purely down to previous reviews and confidence in the individuals we spoke to. We have not been let down at all. From Dominic the first contact and Solar specialist, Lawrence the surveyor, the support staff (Grace), scaffolders and the panel and Inverter/battery fitters. Above and beyond every one of them. Start to finish in under a month. Everybody working to provide a quality outcome. I can't recommend his company high enough.
Very nice lads fitted solar Very clean and tidy job
Excellent communication during the consultation and sales phase as well as in preparation for installation and after the event. Competitively priced with good products, a smooth installation process and the guys left the site very clean and tidy.
Perfect experience from start to finish! **I have 12x Jinko panels, 1x 5kWh Sunsynk Inverter and 2x 5.3kWh Sunsynk batteries installed** After getting a number of quotes from various companies I quickly realised there were a lot of sharks and hard-sell solar companies out there but Contact Solar were fantastic start to finish. Initial survey was done remotely and they happily talked me through the options and some rough costs (and these costs came down several times during as they found ways to get me a better install for less money!). Then I had a in person survey where they took me through the install and options as well as a chat about potential cable runs ect, once agreed I had scaffolding installed within 2 weeks and about 10 days later the panels, inverter and battery installed in a single day. The install was great and the guys took me through everything and offered a number of options for cable runs to keep things neat and tidy. The handover by the installers was detailed and the paperwork and instructions left on the kit were detailed but clear. The handover by the office was also very good including the warranty details and I did not pay a penny until after the system was installed and completed. If you are looking for a solar solution please do you due diligence but whatever you do make sure you get a quote from Contact Solar they were the perfect professionals and thousands of pounds cheaper than the rest of the quotes I had for the same or worse setups!
Just had an installation of solar panels by contact solar. The process from the initial point of contact and to the day of installation was very smooth. They keep in regular contact throughout. The team of installers were excellent , had a good laugh with them. They were quick, clean and professional. The cost of our system we thought was an excellent price... don't look anywhere else 2 satisfied customers Kevin and Mackenzie
I can't speak highly enough of Contact Solar! The whole process was so smooth. Each department had great communication and the staff were really clear about what was happening and when. Everyone was so polite and helpful and the aftercare team are there if you have any questions. We did a lot of research before committing, and this company stood out for its quality, price and customer service. We have been so happy with the service and highly recommend this company.
After an ev charger was fitted i had problems with my solar power system.Although it was not a problem caused by contact solar, Joseph was first class with his help over the phone he talked the ev electrician through the problem until it was resolved Thank you contact solar
Solar and battery storage was completed yesterday and it's a very tidy job! The communication from the team was quite incredible - clear explanations at each stage with an outline of what to expect next. I have been treated so well - I can't recommend Contact Solar enough. I did get quotes from other companies - one even tried the hard sell, but none of them could match the price without compromising on the kit - and there's no point accepting that! Contact Solar sent a quote by email and let me take my time. The price was the price and it was a very good price too! Really lovely people at every stage. Thank you so much!
Just had my Solar and battery installation done by Contact Solar. 12 panels, 5 kw hybrid inverter and 5 kw battery. The scaffolding was put up a few days before Matt the installation guy turned up with all gear. I found Matt was very knowledgeable and efficient at his job, answered any questions I had. I also have been very pleased with all the different people I have spoken to on the phone at the different stages that’s needed to get the job done. Everything seems to be working as it’s supposed to be from the information I am getting from the Sun-synk app. From the service I have received so far I can thoroughly recommend Contact Solar. Give them a ring to get a quote or ask a question. Mr Elliott Nottingham.
Contact Solar have been amazing throughout the entire process and we are now up and running. To begin there was no hard sell like I experienced with every other company. They gave me time to consider options and were informative. The process from there has been seamless. Every team member in all of their departments have been very friendly and couldn’t be more helpful. The scaffolding was arranged around times to suit us and contact solar ensured that this was done to their high standards. The installers of the system were really professional and ensured we understood everything before leaving. The handover stage has again gone really well and I couldn’t have asked much more from the team behind the scenes. I would highly recommend this company.
Antonia dealt quickly and expertly with my queries following installation. Excellent service, thank you!
Great experience from start to finish. I was kept informed of the process at every level. The install was very speedy. The guys who came to install the solar panels were top notch. Overall great experience and would definitely recommend.
Antonia was very helpful. She sorted my request out quickly.
Very happy with my installation and subsequent customer service. Thank you.... Highly recommended.
Really good service, professional team installation.
My first contact was met by great customer support. Polite and pleasant. What I call bedside manor. Excellent Technical support. Exactly what is needed when you have a problem.
Excellent customer service experience today with Antonia, she solved my problem and sent through detailed guidance to help in the future.
Excellent customer service.. My request was dealt with quickly and without any fut
First class service from the first telephone call. Every member of the team is knowledgeable and not pushy, they give you the information and make some suggestions for improvement. I decided to have a 2nd battery after they suggested the system could make use of a second. Nothing but praise and extremely satisfied. Updated: my system is working perfectly and I am extremely 3 months down the line. Love the fact that they take the time to call to check everything is working ok and whether I had a queries. Truly a first class company.
All communications with Contact Solar were professional. The installation was installed as was described from the outset. Would highly recommend Contact Solar.
Antonia was very quick on responding to my request. Well done, thanks.
My wife and I have been impressed by the service offered by Contact-Solar. On her call today Antonia was friendly, clear, and patient.
Everything went smoothly with the installation, whenever I have spoken to the teem they have dealt with my enquire promptly and politely.
After a couple of scrapes with “sharky” companies, we contacted Contact Solar as we were in the market for quite a big install. I have to admit, we’re were a bit sceptical! We spoke initially with Geoff who immediately put us at ease, I liked not only his manner, but his polite and professional approach. He certainly knew his stuff as well. We arranged a survey which was sorted within a couple of weeks. We then agreed a price (very reasonable) and a tentative installation date. Throughout the whole process, the communication was excellent. The whole team there were also very polite and you could tell are happy in their jobs. Yesterday was our I install date, the guys turned up bang on time (after driving all the way ftom Gretna Green) and worked their socks off until around 7pm last night. The standard of workmanship is excellent (as you can see from the pics) All in all a great company, they really made the whole experience a delight. I would certainly recommend to anyone. Oh and my missus has had the washer on this morning for free!!! Thank you guys Andy Shuter
Contact Solar rescued us from the shipwreck of First4Solar (Tanrec) who went receivership at the start of may. After waiting months with F4S it was fair to say we felt a bit sceptical but how wrong we were. After posting a website message on the F4S site on 18th May saying they would be in touch, I received a call on Monday 22nd from a lovely man call Geoff (thanks Geoff) and fully installed system went live on 13th July, just 6 weeks after that initial website notification. Even though F4S clearly went bust because they were over promising, Contact Solar matched the system specifications for the same price even though I’m sure this was part of the reason F4S got into trouble in the first place. Their communication was prompt and consistent throughout and I always knew exactly what was going on. Scaffolding went up on the day agreed and the installation took place as planned. There was a slight delay due to a mix up of components but even this was resolved with complete openness and professionalism. Scaffolding was also taken down as promised just 7 days after it went up. The handover was smooth with all the required documentation being provided with 48hrs on completion and their support communication since has also been great even though my questions have probably been annoying. In short, I can only say that the stellar reviews on Google are clear hard earned and well deserved, and in an industry currently blighted by dodgy, quick-buck making cowboys, Contact Solar deserve their reputation and success. UPDATE 10th May 2024 Just wanted to post an update after nearly a year of being a Contact Solar customer and to absolutely reinforce that these folks are all about long term support and customer service, and not just making that initial installation. On a number of occasions when I was finding my feet with our system, the Contact Solar team were responsive, supportive and patient, with communication always prompt. Even better, when we needed some help after a different company installed an EV charger (perfectly well done I should add), they arranged a video call to talk me through a simple relocation of the CT clamp (which monitors power flow) so that our EV charger can operate properly with the Octopus Intelligent Go tariff, without drawing power from our home batteries. They didn’t have to do this, the EV charger was not their responsibility, but they did so absolutely willingly and for free, within a matter of days. The technician Joseph Dawson was super helpful and a great representative for Contact Solar. Fantastic company.
The whole process with contact solar has been great, and we're now able to HARNESS THE POWER OF THE SUN (to make toast)
Excellent. I was a customer of First4Solar. When it went out of business Contact Solar took over its outstanding orders, and offered to do the work for the same price as quoted by F4S. In fact they not only matched the price, they improved the specification; and did it for the outstanding price, minus the deposit. So it was excellent value, and very considerate of them. I'm absolutely delighted with the service, the process and the end result. The only slight downside was that it took quite a long time to get the paperwork for setting up export; but that's all done now (with Octopus) and working well. The company responded quickly to all my queries, both before and after the fitting (and paying). The fitters were brilliant. Not only did they work very efficiently and neatly, but they came up with a much better solution for positioning the batteries and inverter. And the cable routings were also very well thought through; practically invisible in fact. They started at about 0830; they had it all completed and tidied up by 1530. I have no hesitation in strongly recommending this company. UPDATE May 2024. Batteries stopped working. Entirely my fault as I'd changed some settings to fit with a new Octopus tariff for summer. But I couldn't work out what I'd done, so I called Contact. They were brilliant - within a few seconds they'd located the issue remotely, and talked me through changing it back. (I'm an idiot but they very kindly didn't mention that...)
The entire process from quote, through survey and finally to installation has been absolutely perfect. Everyone has been friendly, helpful and great at their jobs. I couldn’t be happier with the installation today, it was completed in an unbelievably short amount of time, to a great standard and I am about as satisfied as it’s possible to be. Thanks to all of you and when I next move house you’ve got a repeat customer! I’ll be recommending Contact Solar to anyone and everyone. Thanks again.
Excellent is the best way to describe Contact Solar. Competative prices, sensible & honest completion times. Excellent. Sales, Planning & Addmin. Staff. Excellent. Scaffolding team, Excellent. Installation team. The complete project was planned & completed perfectly, with all certifications & registrations. Not a penny was paid untill the instalation was commisioned. The system has been running now for 9 Months without any issue's I am more than pleased with it. The service I have received from Contact Solar has been excellent, I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank You Contact Solar 5*
Could not be a better service if they tried from initial contact, Quote, Survey, Scaffolders then Installation which took around half a day to complete and commission the guys came from Croydon and wasted no time once entering the house. As requested they agreed with the internal routing for the cables which took 3/4 hr so carpet back down quickly then fastening, same time one was fitting Inverter and Battery whilst the third person James was fitting the sleek low profile panels to the roof and connecting the feed through under the tiles. Absolutely no sign they have been in the house, James explained the App, The Warranty, how the connections work and how to turn off if making new circuits or updating old then waited for connection confirmation. Second day the safety certification and legal bits were sent through so now need to connect to Octopus.
Outstanding Service! Absolutely outstanding service from Contact Solar from start to finish. In such a competitive market where a considerable amount of cowboys operate, Contact Solar for us delivered well above and beyond our expectations. The sales team were exceptionally efficient and knowledgeable without being pushy or left you feeling like it was a hard sell. Dominic very much allowed us to make our own decision on things and answered our questions along the way. Despite having two bank holidays between the initial contact and the installation, everything progressed very quickly from our initial site visit to that information being fed back to the pre installation team who ensured we were getting the best value for money. Sam and his team who installed our system were a pleasure to have around. Arrived exactly when they said they would and got the job completed very quickly. They were all very polite and courteous and ensured we were happy with the work that had been completed before they left. I would 100% recommend Contact Solar for your installation without doubt.
Would like to thank Contact Solar after replacing some faulty equipment ..office staff are easy to deal with, pleasant and helpful..Wayne who carried out the work required to get us back to working order was a great guy..helpful, tidy, respectful and did a nice job for us..thank you
Excellent service and help great company to dbusiness with would recommend to anyone 👍
Extremely efficient, polite and professional at all times. You take a risk when utilising a company not known to you, but I would recommend Contact Solar without hesitation
Antonia was delightful, she was knowledgable and helpful, sorted my concerns out super fast, and sorted a firmware upgrade for me
Contact Solar installed our system and EV charger yesterday (09/04/2024). All the office staff have been courteous and helpful throughout. I take my hat off to the three guys that installed our system, they worked really hard and did an excellent job. I did a lot of research before going with Contact Solar and I feel that I made the right decision. Only time will tell in relation to the system and charger but I have no reason to doubt that it will be fine.
The installation team arrived on team and explained exactly what was going to happen. They discussed the siting of the battery and invertor to make sure everything was exactly where we wanted it. They worked quickly and efficiently and kept everywhere as tidy as possible during the installation. All rubbish was removed from site and the areas they had been working in were cleaned. The team were friendly and professional throughout the install and happy to answer any questions we had. When the install was completed they ran through exactly how everything worked and what would happen next. The office followed up shortly after the team had left to explain how to set up the app and the documents that I would be receiving. The service and professionalism displayed by this company from start to finish has been exceptional. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Contact Solar.
Great service - fast, efficient, pleasant. They are always available on the phone. Can't wait to start enjoying the fruits of solar energy!
Really impressed with the professionalism. They organised everything and made it easy my end. Great value for money
Antonia was very helpful and quickly resolved my problem with the app. I have been completely satisfied with our installation over the past two years and have found staff at Contact over always helpful and knowledgeable.
Professional right from the outset, the service provided has been fantastic from beginning through to end. Was willing to quote match to make he price extremely competitive compared to other companies. Only thing to feedback was the scaffolding company who they outsource this activity to, let them down on 2 occasions where they had agreed a date to turn up however failed to do so. That said, the rest of the process was simple, well communicated and excellent service provided throughout. Grace in particular was a great help and should be recognized for this! Look forward to reaping the benefits of a solar panel and battery set up in the house!
Great communication and assistance. Lots of information and on time. Job looks great and they helped with documentation.
what can I say only good thing is we don't have issues with system. They installed panels at our property 2022 after few months we had a leak at the back of the house because the contractors(Roger budge LTd) left the tile up ,came out to fix it said that they checked everything no more tiles left up ,we trusted them didn't claim for damage done in our bedroom because it needed refreshing done anyway. Last year had another leak but this time other side of the house what done a lot off damage . When we had actually leak I hired roofer because I thought it's our roof fault when he done inspection the was another tile left up so I informed contact solar the same day. Tried to resolve with them this situation from November had some quotes from builders about the repair cost (been ask from contact solar to get some) Then they said its a lot, what's needs doing. Then they sent there guy in to have a look and take photos . Then after another week came Dave from Roger budge to take some more photos his words :you can just patch it up. After a week they said they will claim true insurance company and tried involve my insurance company (trick us)so I claim from them. Then on 5th of march I asked them for evidence that they actually sent to insurance company and from that day no reply from them. They damage our house where we had fabulous water damage marks and mould growing (and we have two young children at home and one is toddler). If you want some repairs and mould and water damage and company who don't give a dam.definitely go for Contact Solar and Roger budge LTd. You will get "The best experience" with them !
First class service from the start to finish, what an excellent Company very good service, nice people to deal with. I did contact several other companies for quotes and was very impressed with the knowledge of the staff at Contact Solar, I would highly recommend them without hesitation!!!!
Contact Solar not only rescued me after the initial contracted company went bust , but they also identified a problem with my meter and stuck with me through my complaint to the ombudsman, ensuring it was sorted. Thank you. I highly recommend their service.
Thank you contact solar for very professional install of solar today
We found Contact Solar to be a really superb company with informative sales, good installation options, excellent installation team and amazing customer after-care. We were consulted throughout the whole process and are very happy with our 6kW system and batteries. We can highly recommend this company.
Brilliant from Start to Completion I found Contact Solar whilst browsing online for storage batteries over the weekend (3/4 Feb). I completed an online quotation form and immediately got an email saying one of their sales advisors would give me a ring. Dominic a sales advisor from Contact Solar phoned me on the Monday morning (5 Feb) and was happy to explain the solar storage system. He also enquired about my existing solar panels. I asked for a quote, which I received within a few hours via email. Dominic provided me with two quotes based on our telephone discussion and provided some background information about Contact Solar Ltd, their 12-year history, the equipment they sold, warranties, no home visits by sales reps, no monies up front, and their accreditations which were all positives to me. I followed up Dominic’s email with further questions and provided him with performance figures based on my existing solar panels which I didn’t have at hand when he contacted me via phone. He responded very quickly suggesting what he would do based on the good performance figures that I had provided. He also happily answered all my other questions. After further research I eventually decided to place an order with Solar Contact, on Wednesday (7 Feb), and I emailed Dominic with my decision to proceed. Dominic phoned me later to inform me that my order had been placed and another team would be in contact to confirm my requirements. He also said it would take approximately 4 weeks before the installation could be carried out. The following Tuesday (13 Feb), I received a phone call from Solar Contact informing me that they had the equipment for my installation and could install the following day, if okay with me. I agreed and Tim (Electrical Engineer) arrived the following day at 9:00am prompt to commence the work. On completion he guided me through the installation and explained everything he had done, explaining that I would receive a follow up from the company with technical support. Tim was very professional and a tidy worker. The whole process from enquiry to installation as well as technical support provided by the hand over team was very easy and without any pressure from anyone. I would highly recommend Contact Solar, everyone I communicated with (Dominic, Tim & the technical support team) were extremely helpful and very professional.
Contact Solar have just finished the installation of my panel's your work men were quick and efficient, they explained how it work, they were tidy during installation, the staff in the office were helpful at every stage and polite thank you the follow up by your telephone staff has been of the attitude nothing is to much trouble antonia has been especially helpful and patient 😊
We needed to upgrade our EPC for a house we rent out and began to shop around for Solar Power because it gave a huge return in terms of generating our own power and reducing electricity bills and and also helped raise our EPC to a D rating. Shopped around and found one company who came out and gave us a quote that initially we were happy with. It soon became apparent the other company total bill was going to be nearly £14,500 for a x16 375w panel system with no battery (was going to be just 14 panels, but for "one day only they could special offer 16 panels at the 14 panel price" !). We talked with other local solar owners who were horrified at the price we had been given and urged us to shop around more....Thank goodness we did. Spoke with Geoff at Contact Solar and all was made really easy and we were quoted just under £9000 for x16 385w panel system with a battery, more powerful than first company. Arrangements to install made straight forward, there was a couple of timing changes. The team arrived on a Sunday, we had agreed this...but the weather just drizzled rain onto the guys all day. They ploughed on and completed the job. The wiring is neat and clipped to the attic structure nicely. The equipment is set logically and tidy. They left the house tidy. Importantly they wore masks when in the property, which was a relief to our tenants there. I did hope we would get instant monitoring feedback via a phone app but apparently this is comes when payment made. At time of writing this review that permission may have been granted already. The process could not really be simpler. The team at Contact Solar were flexible and understanding about our financing and a great help. Sincerely and genuinely highly recommend them.
Fantastic service from Contact Solar. The quote was competitive, good quality advice and sensible solutions offered at a reasonable price. The communication was good from all parties and the fitting was extremely efficient and quick. We’re very happy and obsessed with the app!
Very impressive organisation to work with. Good price, good equipment specified, excellent advice to help select the most appropriate installation followed up by a very well organised and executed installation. It is rare to be able to give such a positive review, but it is warranted in this case. Would happily use again
The team arrived bright and early, introduced themselves and spent time advising me of the plan for installation. I received excellent advice which I took. The team were very friendly, informative and hard working. Most professional and experienced. The installation was completed in good time and was most satisfactory. These guys were the A-team. My heartfelt thanks to Contact Solar and the Installation team.
Absolutely brilliant company, informed the whole way along and after installation. Scaffolders and installers very friendly and efficient. After care, questions and support is spot on to help get used to the system. Long standing company so have faith will be around as long as their warranties - important to research this aspect, salesman was informative patient and not pushy. can only recommend this company not a bad thing to say. AAA++++
Brilliant company Great prices, good communications and trouble free installation Would recommend to anyone considering PV Dave
From start to finish, a very efficient, professional and friendly service. Recommend wholeheartedly
Fantastic company, so efficient, immediate responses, install went really well, no mess left Would highly recommend them
An excellent job. Contact Solar have been brilliant from start to finish. They have kept us informed throughout the whole process with speedy response to any questions we have had. There has been no sales pressure and everything flowed well from the survey through to the scaffolding and the installation. The installation team were polite, efficient and left the job clean and tidy. We can highly recommend Contact Solar to anyone considering solar panels.
Contact Solar are superb ! Unfortunately, Ive previously had three shady dealings with solar panel companies each promising all sorts of savings and benefits and all failed to deliver; one being a complex scam. I can honestly recommend Contact Solar; honest, clear & good pricing, professional throughout, quality products supplied and fitted, 6weeks offer to completion service and all fully guaranteed. Don't go anywhere else.
I had solar panels and two storage batteries fitted yesterday by Conatct Solar. the experience has been first rate from my first contact, the quotation process, the survey visit and then the installation. the two installers Wayne & Shane were excellent, and their work was very neat and tidy, and they were happy to talk me through the system. i would recommend them as an a really good company to use for a solar installation.
We selected Contact Solar from their reviews and they were easily the best of the 3 Company's we had quotes from (professionally and personally) - we have not regretted it. The whole process was as good as it could be - helpful, not pushy, only billed when everything has been built, proven and working. The photos were taken just as the build finished so the scaffolding has yet to be removed (it stays for a bit in case of any problems). The other is of the 2 batteries and inverter in the garage - super cool. The staff on the phone, the site visit, the build team - all were polite, really efficient and also friendly. It's mid winter but the system is already working surprisingly well. All in all, an excellent experience. Thank you.
Very efficient from start to finish. No advance payments required and no hidden extras. Operatives were polite, clean and very efficient.
what a fantastic company, kept me fully informed, all their staff are very helpful, their work men are very efficient and did a great job , they worked through the worst weather without complaint. I did not have to pay a deposit before the job started which is a very unusual thing, so I highly recommend this company.
Phoned up with a query and expected Contact Solar to call me back on the phone or send an Email. They answered my query straight away. First class. Thanks.
Just had 15 x PV panels (11 south facing, 4 east facing) and 2 x 5 kwh batteries installed through contact solar. I have been researching PV solar for over a year and have had several quotes through different companies. Ultimately, for us, solar panels are a significant financial investment. I wanted to make sure that I went with a reputable company. Navigating the solar market is difficult and at times I have found that companies do apply some pressure and adopt a hard sell tactic to try to get you to purchase their product. I did not find this with contact solar. The installation went well, there was a small hiccough where the app was not working and a CT clamp needed adjusting but since then everything has been working well. I was surprised how effectively the system is working, even in January. I suspect we will make significant return on investment over the lifetime of the system. Even after the installation process was complete I have found that customer service is excellent and it does not seem to be a case of once you have paid for the product that they do not want to hear from you. In the end I chose contact solar because of their excellent reviews and well priced product and I hope this review will help other customers.
I found Contact Solar via a compare solar website. Mason from Contact phoned me shortly after and was happy to explain the in's and out's of solar. He was very aware at the start of the conversation the fact that my wife and I had signed up for the local council Solar Together scheme. This did not sway him from answering all questions I had regarding having a solar system installed. In fact he went straight on to Google Earth to view our house - his feedback was, we could have 13 panels fitted on the roof, but he noticed the oak tree in our neighbours garden and suggested we have optimisers as some panels were going to be in shade early in the morning. He was kind enough to explain all aspects in a way I understood. I asked for a quote, which once received was very much the same as the so called council bulk buy scheme (not including the optimisers). My wife and I talked about the conversation and info Mason had given me - the following morning we called Mason again (on speaker) and once again he answered further questions we both had. During that phone call, my wife and I decided that due to the help and info given by Mason we would go with Contact Solar. The whole process was easy and had our Solar System fitted 10/01/24. I would highly recommend Contact Solar, everyone I spoke to after Mason were extremely helpful. Also we would like to thank the four guys that fitted our system (Laurence, Gavin, Russ and Aaron) again a pleasure to deal with on the day of install and very professional - even down to replacing some broken tiles spotted while looking at the roof beforehand.
Very helpful customer services. Thank you
Thanks to Geoff for his excellent advice in choosing the best battery system to link to my solar panels. This is second time I have used this great company. No sales pitch just good advice and great pricing. Engineers arrived on time. Very friendly, respectful and efficient. Ensured house left clean and tidy and that I fully understood how to use the app. Becky in accounts then sent lots of helpful advice via e-mail. Highly recommended
We had 12 solar panels with battery storage installed in December 23. The team at Contact Solar were so helpful and have continued to be there to support us with technical advice and assistance. The team of installers were also great and very considerate of our home. Great price. Highly recommend this company.
First class company. Tidy work, courteous and professional.
From start to finish the service received from Contact Solar has been first class. From placing the order through to installation, the communication from the company has been fantastic. We had 10 panels, an inverter and battery installed. The installation was completed by the 3Js. The guys were really friendly and pleasant, asking about sighting cable runs and positioning of the inverter and battery. They kept me in the loop all the way and were very quick and tidy. We have had the system up and running now for almost a week and I am very pleased with the Sunsynk equipment and the connect app, which is used for monitoring the system. There is no deposit to pay with Contact Solar; you only pay when the installation has been completed and you are happy with the system. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Contact Solar if you are thinking about have a solar energy system installed. Thank you, all the team at Contact Solar. Just an update on the above review. Contact Solar have had a special offer for the installation of additional batteries. I took them up on the deal and had an extra 5.32kw battery added to my system. From placing the order to having the battery installed it was all done in double quick time and very efficiently by Simon. Top notch service again from Contact Solar. Thank you to all the folk at Contact Solar.
I had a 5kw + battery system installed July 2022 expertly and efficiently done. I saw what I wanted in their advert with the cost upfront, I made the phone call to place my order and from then onwards it was non pushy and politeness all the way. I am very happy with my investment with a return of £1,300 (11%) in the first year of trouble free operation. I cannot praise Contact Solar highly enough, they are an excellent company and a pleasure to do business with.
Contact Solar charged a good price for the installation of solar panels, battery, and all the wiring, and installed the equipment as and when promised. They cleared up afterwards, and talked me through everything. Pre and post sale service was exemplary - they even phone to check I had no problems. I am absolutely delighted with the work and company, and I recommend them very highly and without reservation.
Great communication from start to finish. Great price and honest conversations. Installers very professional, no mess left. Would definitely recommend. 1st class from start to finish. Just waiting for scaffolding to be removed.
I used contact solar due to the reasonable price and good reviews, as it was a large purchase I had a reasonable amount of apprehension as I did not know the company. Ultimately I chose them as they did not require any money up front. I need not have worried. The communication was good from the start with each person describing what they would do and what would happen next. The scaffolders were prompt and polite, the installation team were the same. My installation is neat and working efficiently, they even replaced a broken tile on the roof. The hand over was clear and they delivered all the necessary paperwork swiftly. I cannot fault contact solar from start to finish. Thank you.
Contact Solar quoted me in early 2021 for my system. I had previously got a quote from another supplier and was put off by the price. Contact solar's quote was less than half that of the other supplier (Over £12k lower!) for exactly the same solar/battery spec. The quotation process was very professional and the installation was very neat and also professional. The thing that amazed me most was they quoted I could expect 4001 kwh per annum. Last year the actual figure was 4243.7 and this year I am currently at 3931.8 with around 50 days left of the year - so well on track to exceed it again. The after sales support has also been first class. I genuinely feel they deserve the full 5 stars!
Well what can I say.... At no time during the whole process was I concerned.Everything went smoothly and Contact Solar were on hand to guide me through when I needed them.Keep up the good work.
The experience I have had with Contact Solar has been excellent. My solar kit has been in place now for over a week and I am very happy with the outcome. I feel I have been looked after by a team of professional hard working, decent people delivering an excellent service from start to finish. My initial contact was through Geoff in sales who was informative and patient in fielding a significant number of questions I needed answering before I was confident enough to go ahead with the purchase and in helping me to refine the order thereafter. I was given sufficient time to think it over and never felt pressurised. At the same time, I was given a number of invaluable suggestions as to good-value upgrades to the system (e.g. bigger battery) which in hindsight, having used the system for only a week, I would have been gutted had I not purchased! Tony, who undertook the survey was prompt, efficient and knowledgeable. Communication from everyone I spoke to at their office was excellent throughout. Phone calls are always answered and you always get an email response to any queries. Holly was great in co-ordinating with the scaffolders and helped iron out a couple of unforeseen issues, always being both professional and friendly, as was Carly in guiding me through the handover. The installation itself went just as smoothly. The team (Tim, Charlie, Jay - sorry if I've remembered the names wrongly!) turned up at 7.30am and worked the whole day through non-stop to get the job finished to a high standard. I was kept informed of progress throughout and given clear explanations of the final setup. It was by no means an easy install with 15 optimised PV panels split across 3 separate hip roofs with batteries and much of the equipment and wiring being installed into compact spaces. However, the quality of the workmanship appears to be top notch. Again, very competent, hard-working, honest guys. Even the scaffolders used by Contact Solar were great - they spent 30 minutes after taking the scaffolding down to fix a leak that had sprung in the guttering. Thanks to everyone at Contact Solar - even those whose names I forget!
Brilliant company to deal with. Very professional from Start to finish and they offered the very best price. If your looking for solar panels use this company.
From to start to finish, Contact Solar was a pleasure to deal with. All our initial queries, technical or otherwise, were handled effectively and efficiently. Only hiccup was a missed survey appointment, which was due to a miscommunication between departments. However, it was addressed correctly without any unduly inconvenience. The scaffolding was erected and dismantled as per agreed schedule. The panels and batteries installation was quick and tidy, with everything completed within a day. Post installation support on the SunSynk App was good. Overall, we are very happy with the installation and Contact Solar, and would certainly recommend them to family and friends. Well done and many thanks to everyone at Contact Solar.
Good service - kept me informed from the inital contact and quotation through to installation and provision of all the documentation. ("It ain't over until the paperwork is done!")
Contact have just completed my installation and I would recommend them to anyone. All the details were communicated accurately. People turned up when agreed and the work was good, the whole experience was a positive one. I now have 5.2kw of solar and 10kw of battery storage, early signs (when the sun is out) are showing this to be a good choice.
Excellent help and cooperation in understanding my issue and offering quality support. So nice to speak with someone who actually was willing to own the issues.
These guys are great to deal with and simple to get a sensible quote from. Their communication is great and very professional. no salesmen to deal with, no hassle and no hard sell. There is nothing to pay until the system is fully installed and you are 100% happy. Very different from other companies that we have had quotes from. System fully installed on the date promised, great installation team. very happy with product and service. Thanks for your help Geoff and the team. Update: Now had system a few weeks and it’s very impressive. Contacted support a couple of times to help understand some of the interface settings. As with all other contacts, the support is excellent and very speedy. Really happy with system and the choice of provider. Highly recommend. Update: We have had the system for just over 6 months now. it has generated around 15% more electricity so far than was forcast for the year. Great system and great company.
excellent service. great communication - wold recommend.
I was initially sceptical about Contact Solar as they were taking the project over from another company that went insolvent. However, once the specifications were defined and confirmed, progress happened quickly. I was really impressed with the professionalism of the installation team and the quality of the installation. Everything worked straightaway. When I contacted the support team to sort out a configuration problem, they responded within 30 minutes and the issue was resolved very quickly. All in all, I am a very happy customer
Did what they said they'd do, when they said they'd do it After a very uncomfortable intro to Solar through another failed company, Contact Solar were reassuring and efficient
Use this company for solar Contact Solar were great from start to finish. Prompt with answering questions and quick with the job turn around. They offered to complete my build after my previous company went into administration for the remaining balance which helped me out a lot. The install day was really good and everything was explained to me. Would highly recommend
Contact Solar were given the contract to install the solar on my property through the HIES scheme, after the previous installer went bust. They got in contact the day they received the contract, 31/05/2023 and booked in a surveyor to come and inspect my property. The contract with the initial company was for a 10-panel, 4KW system with a 9.5KWh battery storage. Contact Solar provided the same amount of panels, but increased the battery to 10.5KWh. The battery chemistry is different from the initial quote (which I did not notice until after the installation), meaning that the usable battery storage is less than was initially quoted, however this was partially offset by the increased total storage. The scaffolding was put up on 06/07/2023. The installers were booked to come on 12/07/2023.they were here by around 0800 am and worked non-stop throughout the day, even when the rain started. One of the three installers, Alex, took the time to explain how the whole system worked, patiently answered every question I had about the inverter, panels and the batteries. During the initial installation, four micro-inverters were missed however the installers came back on 28/07/2023 to add these. The people in the office and the installers themselves were all very apologetic that these were missed and it was quickly resolved. The scaffolding was taken down on 02/08/2023 after the second time the installers were at the house. Post Go-Live on 12/07/2023, I've not had any issues with the system or installation. No issues with the roof following the installation either. The overall timescale for the installation was delayed as I was out of the country for around 20 days in June, so the dates are not representative of a typical installation from Contact Solar. Overall, Contact Solar were fantastic and I have already recommended them to family who are wanting to have some panels installed in the future as well.
I don't normally post reviews however in the case of contact solar I feel they merit a positive review. From the initial contact to the final installation of an additional battery, this company have been excellent in every respect.
A most professional company providing an installation to the highest standards and a first class team. Technical support second to non .
After a worrying and disappointing experience with an earlier supplier, Contact Solar came to the rescue. First class service
First class service from beginning to end. Excellent price and installed quickly and without fuss.
MCS certified and genuine. Great service and installation team. I would definitely recommend this company. Qualified and knowledgeable team. Their great price makes solar panels a viable financial option.
Great price. Kept us informed all the way along. Prompt responses to emails. Easy to deal with.
Excellent service
Can’t speak highly enough of this company from install to customer support, Tanya and the team have been brilliant
efficient company, any issues dealt with in a timely manor no matter how small.
We have now used Contact Solar on two of our properties and couldn’t recommend them enough. They are so easy to speak to and answer any questions you could possibly have. They pick up the phone straight away and they usually have no wait time - the customer service is on point and i will be using them on all our properties as i have been doing.
All staff friendly and helpful
Contact Solar have been the perfect company, cannot fault them at any stage of the process. I had originally signed a contract with First4 Solar and was left waiting for 12months with very little communication before they went into administration. Luckily for me Contact Solar took over the contract after the assistance of HIES. The difference with communication was night and day. Contact Solar initially contacted me at the beginning of June and were very proactive with updates at every step of the way and we have just had full installation started and completed on the 31st July. Absolutely amazed at the speed and competency of this company. Every interaction has been incredibly professional.
Absolutely brilliant service, Installation happened on the day it was supposed to be, the installation crew super friendly and helpful. Would recommend contact solar to everyone
Thank you for a very professional service, communication was great and all appointments happened on the dates agreed with no delays or excuses. I am happy with the workmanship and very impressed with the speed of installation.
Great experience and a job well done. From inception to completion, above and beyond. An exceptional company to work with. Great communication at all times. All at Contact Solar worked seamlessly to provide us with the battery and management system we required. Applications and paperwork all included. Our compliments and thanks to all involved with our installation. Based on our experience, we highly recommend them.
I thoroughly did my research on solar panel providers as there are so many companies out there. I shortlisted 2 and chose Contact Solar as I knew someone who had used them and they were so responsive. Everything from finalising my requirements, quotations to booking and installation went very smoothly and surprised at the speed of delivery. If that wasn't enough then their after installation support was also very good and a welcome bonus. Highly recommended
Contact Solar recently installed a system including 10 solar panels and a battery at our home. Comparing to other quotes I found them competitive and went with them on their existing good reputation. Communication was excellent throughout. Installation of the system went very well and the team worked around a few minor issues at our property on the day. Very happy with Contact as a company and would recommend to anyone looking to install a solar system.
Very polite, friendly professional service. Installation engineer very knowledgeable and exemplary work attitude.
Excellent product very helpful and neat installation team all Documentation provided within a few days and only sent an Invoice when system fully working & I was happy with system
Great company to deal with. They care for their customers, do what they say, and when they say it. Competitive prices and great service, why go anywhere else.
Couldn't fault the service from the telephone contact to the installers. Highly recommended.
A great team. Advised and listened from day 1. No hard selling. Just good honest help. There were a few issues with a 3rd party contractor once Contact Solar were made aware, they took over and arranged resolution. Overall I am really happy with the installed system, the installation process, the sales team and aftercare.
Very professional and efficient. The whole installation process was very easy and no complications. I would definitely recommend them, also they prices are very good too.
Done exactly what they said they would… Done exactly what they said they would !!! Very trustworthy and professional !!!!Not a penny taken until completion !!! Having given a 25% deposit to a first4solar who just days before install called in the receivers Contact Solar stepped in and done the entire job with no money reqd upfront. took me on a trust bases and made me feel very comfortable. Cant commend their approach enough . Great to find such good customer service Installation team were great , polite and considerate of their surroundings CANT RECOMMEND THEM HIGHLY ENOUGH
Contact Solar took over our solar installation from another company who went bankrupt (and whose performance was atrocious). The switch to Contact Solar was night and day in customer service. They kept us fully abreast of what was going on, did everything when they said they would and have responded in a timely fashion with post implementation questions that I had. After our experience with the first company I had concerns about the whole sector as it can be difficult to navigate but Contact Solar gave me confidence that there are some good companies out there.
Spam unsolicited emails
I just want to say thank you very much for your service to CONTAC SOLAR they did everything as they said they would. Everything is working very well just need some sunshine and I will be very happy.
Contact Solar provided an excellent service to me here in the Scottish Highlands. Installed a battery/PV system in 2 days which worked first time and after almost a month, no issues with it at all. The installation team were professional, polite and very tidy. I have already recommended them to others.
Great service from start to finish - would definitely recommend!
Great Experience Contact Solar made the whole process nice and easy. I had lots of questions but the reply time was always quick and the answer clear. The work was fast and tidy with all the wires hidden inside the house.
Having had an awful experience with another company, Contact Solar took over the books and delivered the goods. The speed an quality at which they worked is incredible! It was a seamless process, guided every single step of the way and had me installed in a matter of weeks. Cannot fault them one bit and highly recommend!
Contact Solar have been professional, helpful and friendly throughout the whole process and a pleasure to do business with. The installation was done in about a day and all looks good, great job.
We paid a deposit for batteries in January 2022. After many excuses and when we were about to go to the Small Claims Court this company, Tanrec, went into administration. Contact Solar picked up their order book, we understand 900 customers and fitted our batteries within 3 weeks, time required for the necessary permissions and details to be processed. They were cheaper than the original quote by almost £200. To say we are pleased is an understatement after all the hassle we have had over almost 18 months. If you want to keep your electricity bills down, look nowhere else. They do not advertise but rely on recommendations. We can see why they can do that. Thank you.
Excellent server and installation was very clean and efficient. No hard sell and they were there if I had questions. May have been a little more expensive than some quotes but I would rather pay more and have it done right. Documents were given to me within a few days.
As a previous First4Solar customer who waited for over a year for their installation this company as exceeded all my expectations. I recently had Contact Solar complete my install of solar panels and battery storage on my home, and I was absolutely blown away by their customer service. From the initial consultation to the final installation, they were always friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They were always transparent about what was happening, and they went out of their way to make sure that I understood what was happening and the time scales involved, with constant communication through the entire process. In the end, I'm absolutely thrilled with my solar panels and battery storage. They're already saving me money on my energy bills, and I know that they'll continue to do so for many years to come. I would be remiss if I didn't mention Alex, my installer. He was incredibly helpful and took real pride in his work. He took the time to explain everything to me in detail, and he made sure that I was comfortable with the installation process. He also went above and beyond to make sure that my system was working properly. I'm so grateful to Alex for his help. He made the entire experience so much easier, and I'm confident that my solar panels and battery storage will last for many years to come thanks to his hard work. I highly recommend Contact Solar (especially to any other previous First4Solar customers) to anyone looking to install solar panels or battery storage. They're a company that you can trust, and they'll make sure that you're happy with your system for years to come.
Impeccable service from start to finish, great communication and a smooth install ! Really happy ! Thanks guys !
Very helpful and professional, kept me updated throughout the process. Even post installation when I had some questions, I had speedy responses giving me the information I needed.
Really great experience so far, install was smooth and minimal disruption. Would recommend.
Discussions started off well with a friendly sales guy called Phil but when he left the company A took over and then things went south and I decided to cancel. I am guessing they have so much business, based on long lead times I expereicned, that they can have a 'take it or leave it' attitude with no time or patience to explain anything. Disappointed. Not recommended.
From start to finish the service has been a very pleasant one. The team in the office kept us in the loop every step of the way. The efficiency and quality of the installation has been excellent. After sales and technical support has been very good to!! We are very happy we chose Contact Solar, the team were brilliant.
Overall a very good experience. Fairly good communication throughout the process. There were a couple of cancelled surveyors appointments and a small discrepancy about the cost which was resolved quickly.
Used contact solar for my installation. The guys were very good, knowledgeable and very helpful on how to use the system and assured me that any questions contact solar would be happy to answer. This has been the case. My system has generated and surpassed expected projections that can obviously fluctuate dependant upon the weather this is something you will learn to predict over time to use what you generate efficiently. All in all I'm very happy the company was recommended and I wanted a reputable company and feel so far they have lived up to expectations
The staff at Contact Solar couldn't have been more helpful. They were prepared to spend time on reassurance and explanations and really did go the extra mile in supporting me with my issues. Everything was dealt with swiftly and professionally. Such a contrast to the more usual automated menu's, chat lines and form filling etc that need to be navigated before anything can be accomplished. A refreshing and positive change to work with real life, pleasant and efficient people! Highly recommended.
Excellent service from my first point of contact on 18th April until placing the order on 26th April. I discussed with Mason various options with regard battery storage and whether to put arrays on both east and west roof. My order was easily amended once I'd made my final decision and the survey booked. The scaffolding was organised and went up 26th May. Panels fitters arrived before 8am 30th May and had installed my array and battery storage in the loft with four hours. Scaffolding was only up six days and was removed 2nd June. I had a courtesy call Friday 3rd to check I was happy with my installation and talk me through the documentation I had received. I have now received all my documents including MCS and have signed up to export to the Grid. Absolutely first class service. Look nowhere else.
I was very impressed by the quality of service we received from Contact Solar. Their understanding of the technology was evident in all the staff. They promised quality and delivered it.
Contact Solar were impressive from start to finish. They were quickest to respond at quote stage, Phil talked us through options well, and the contract was helpfully detailed but clear. The preinstallation team was prompt in moving through the stages and the surveyor Colin gave us plenty of time for questions. When the scaffolding contractors Forge asked for more money than budgeted, on my request Contract Solar negotiated with them and we came to a good compromise. Scaffolding setup and takedown were very efficient, as was system installation by FBS Solar. The panels went up in one day and the electrician Taidgh returned the next day to finish wiring and setup. He had advised us to put the inverter and batteries in our loft rather than garage because the cabling would then be mostly out of sight, and they did a tidy job. Taidgh created a structure to house the system in the loft, talked us through the panel display and spent time answering our many questions. The system is working well and the Sunsynk app is good. I do wish there was a proper old school manual, but I have been given enough info through the process to be able to fiddle with some small parameters and know not touch the others. I am grateful to Contact for being very thorough with the compliance paperwork, enabling us to register for export and start selling to the grid only 3 weeks after installation. It was great too that Contact Solar moved quickly and we have caught the strong late spring sun. System performance and Octopus Flux export prices are better than expected, and it's rather addictive watching your investment pay off in real time.
Highly efficient team, roof, loft and electrics. I'm an engineer and appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail, even down to the hoovering up, where necessary. I'm amazed at the outcome and can't take my eyes off the smart meter display,,,,it hasn't moved !! On completion, I was given a tutorial of all the associated equipment and have just signed up for the app. The next step is to contact my energy supplier and register for the smart exchange tariff,,,the icing on the cake. Thank you Contact Solar for your professionalism from day one
From the outset, Contact Solar were very up front and honest providing a detailed quote and plenty of advice and guidance about what I could have installed, the process, costs and timescales. The sales person was always available to answer queries I had. In fact, every single person I had dealings with, whether it be in person, or on the phone, was extremely helpful and professional. There are no upfront costs giving me confidence in the Company and their system. First class Customer Service and team in general. Would highly recommend.
Professional from start to finish, really responsive to emails and phone calls and answered all of my silly questions. Much quicker than I was expecting too. Great work, now fingers crossed for some sunshine!
They were efficient from start to finish and delivered exactly what was expected. The fitter was excellent and did a great job. Might not be the cheapest quote you get but I would use again. No cowboys here!!
From the outset, Contact Solar were very up front and honest providing a very detailed quote and plenty of advice and guidance about what we could have installed, the process, costs and timescales. The sales person was always available to answer queries we had and put us at ease with the decision we eventually made. Installation was within 8 weeks, with no upfront costs. From scaffolding going up to coming down was 1 week in which time all the necessary paperwork arrived and Contact Solar were in contact daily to ensure we were happy with the product and where we were with paperwork etc. First class Customer service and team in general. Would highly recommend.
Pretty effortless quotation and design process. Installation was quickly initiated and expertly done by Matt. Very pleased with whole experience, including payment process - Grace is delightful.
We had our solar panels fitted today and right from the beginning to the end their work is fantastic. I highly recommend them to my family and friends.
My Solar installation has just been completed and have to say from start to finish Contact Solar have been excellent our installation was a little more complicated with having a 3 phase supply however we were advised on the best equipment for our needs excellent job thank you very much
The hardest thing about getting solar (besides paying for it) was wading through the dozens and dozens of companies, all recommending different equipment and with little idea who was credible. I did my research and shopped around for many weeks before deciding upon Contact Solar. Having whittled my list down to three companies in the North-West, Contact Solar was the most expensive on my shortlist. However, my company checks and research (accounts, premises, directors etc) revealed concerns about the other two which left me uneasy. We decided that paying extra for a well-established and reputable company was worth it in the long run. The process was smooth and professional throughout. Phil the advisor was very patient with all my questions, and flexible in quoting for specific panel types which I had selected. I was kept informed through the various stages by the office team, scaffolding was erected within budget, and installation by Matt was slick and problem-free. I would highly recommend Contact Solar to anybody considering solar in the NW. If you don’t have the time to do your own extensive research and just want a trustworthy provider, feel free to take my word for it.
Contact Solar were excellent from start to finish. Customer service was good and very easy to contact, surveyor was friendly and helpful and the installation team were outstanding (the three J’s). I would not hesitate in recommending this Company. Many thanks for your professionalism and help from start to finish.
Good communication all the way through the process, quick to get to an installation planned in and completed, competitively priced. Well integrated with scaffolding, installation and delivery. Panels up and working well!
Sales Some solar energy companies have a sales team and there is more pressure to sign up when they visit your home. Contact Solar provide you with a quotation for solar panels and battery. There is no salesperson that comes to your house. I contacted five different companies for a quotation. Some tried to sell other products like heats pumps and some, in my opinion, gave an over inflated estimate of the savings you would make. Contact Solar provided the quotation I asked for. ( Sixteen Solar panels, inverter and about 10kW battery storage.) The first person that visits your home is the surveyor. They are checking all the practical aspects of the installation. Things like where to place the Inverter and batteries, assessing what scaffolding is required, looking at your current electrical system and earthing arrangements. Preinstall Information The people in the office are immensely helpful. They are happy for you to phone them and will answer all your questions. Like all of the solar companies the quotation that you receive is about 20 -22 pages long. You are therefore getting a large amount of “facts” and figures. The whole quotation can look quite daunting. If there is something you do not know- phone them, I did several times. The installation The installation wan done in one day! The two installers that were at my house were brilliant! The installers are self employed and that is all they do. Over a whole week they will install a separate solar system every day. (My house was a pain for them because the electrical meter and fuse box is at the front of the house and the inverter and batteries were going at the back. The said right away that this would take them longer to install the system and was I happy that they worked on in the early evening. Extremely hard working and cleaned up after themselves at the end. First class. Support after Installation The support from the people in the office is excellent. You must download and install an app on your phone. Again, the app is brilliant and gives you leads of information. An important thing about Contact Solar is that you pay nothing until the work is complete. First class company to deal with….
Very professional company with very slick processes. Great service from start to finish!
Having not had great experience with solar companies (they have all been pretty busy recently I know) I found Contact sSolar to be excellent. Really responsive to queries, flexible and I felt like they were listening to me rather than just trying to sell me product. From initial contact through to final handover, they felt like a mature company that was focussing on customer service. In the solar industry at the moment that feels unusual, as demand trumps quality. The installation team were really professional and helpful, and the quality of the installation was high (really precise, neat job). Couldn’t recommend more highly.
what a company! from planning through to fitting absolutely excellent experience with contact Solar and I look forward to using their periodic checks/cleaning knowing that I am dealing with an exemplary company. this is what other companies /providers should aspire to. special mention though must be given to Matt as if all of the UK Workforce was like him then we would be the envy of the world. that is not to say the rest of the team are any less valued as they kept us posted every step of the way. anyone wondering whether to use Contact Solar then I say go for it you won't regret it !
We had a short list of four companies for solar panels. Contact Solar stood out from the start with their comprehensive specification and estimate. They answer the telephone immediately and always responded to emails on the same day. On acceptance of their offer they did what they said on the day(s) we had agreed. The workmen were thorough, tidy, polite and the system works exactly as defined. Contact Solar is a model company.
Great job on a very steep roof ... works like a dream and the fitters were 1st class. Even found an issue with our dimmer switch which they sorted at no extra cost!
Excellent service from start to finish, answered every question I had and even provided additional support when having difficulties with current energy provider.highly recommended
Contact Solar were very nice to deal with. They weren't pushy and explained the process at each stage. They were very helpful in overcoming the issues that crept up.
The system installation has just been completed. I would not hesitate in recommending Contact Solar to anyone. They have been excellent in every way from the quotation stage to full installation.
A first class company. My experience has been very positive at all stages of the installation of my solar panels. From the very first contact the various employees I have dealt with have been very courteous and knowledgeable. At every stage of the process the communication has been excellent. From my experience I would highly recommend Contact Solar Ltd.
Fantastic company with great communication and lived up to every commitment they made. Can’t recommend highly enough.
Contact Solar are superb in their professionalism. I took the time to search for several quotes and none matched both the quality and price of that for Contact Solar. The pre-install staff were friendly and the installation was very prompt (6 weeks from agreed contract). After installation I had some software issues (fine-tuning to my specific requirements), which were eventually solved but took several iterations. In short I would highly recommend but hope they are able to boost their aftersales team to assist their now large number of customers!
Very happy with the installation of 18 solar panels, 1 inverter and 2 batteries. All contact positive and support given when needed regarding how to use the Sunsynk app (which I found quite difficult). Looking forward to becoming self sufficient and to lots of sunny days 🌞
Delighted with the system. Process was straightforward, disruption during installation was minimal. Highly recommended.
Front the first contact right up to instalation contact solar have been first class, professional and very friendly. I would highly recommend them to all my friends and family
Great service. The office team were very helpful and the subcontractors turned up and did the job with no issues.
Domestic installation, all done with a minimum of fuss.
Our 12 PV panels and storage battery were installed yesterday by the 3J's. We were a little concerned at first, being located 200 miles away from the Contact Solar base, but the whole process from start to finish was very professional. The installation guys were all very polite, communicative and competent, despite the appalling weather they had to work in! To date, we are very pleased to have engaged Contact Solar to install our panels.
Contact Solar are a very professional company and the 3 J's did a great job of installation.
Really fantastic experience. But for a query over difference of scaffolding cost compared to their quote (which they rectified immediately), things couldn't have been smoother. A competitive quote. No hard sell. Great comms and admin all round. Everything installed within any problems at all and in the time allowed.
Happy to say i have joined the solar revolution. our system is 10 panels with 2 batteries. Should give us more than enough energy even on poor light days. Yesterday was overcast and some rain at the end of the day and the panels were producing even in the last of the light. The scaffolders worked around my caravan which was a bonus. Saved me having to resite the van for a few weeks. The engineers that came to do the install were really good people. Explained a lot of the work they were doing. Pressed on to get the job done too, around hrs for my house. I did have the ideal layout apparently. Panels on the roof, mains in an attached garage. Most important guide of all i think, the engineers said they are fitting the kit in their own houses. Recommended.
Overall great experience from initial contact through to the install and handover.
Excellent service from James and Geoff in the office. Matt worked unbelievably hard to get the system installed in one day.
A very good service and very good value as well. Their contractors were as tidy as they could be in the circumstances and left everything in good working order. A small problem was resolved satisfactorily.
Contact Solar have clear information and have responded quickly by telephone to particular people. The installers were well mannered and informed about what they were doing. The whole process has gone smoothly. The only changes were adjusting number of panels and using different fixings.
Very happy with our new solar installation. Contact Solar are easy to deal with, helpful and did a geat job at every stage of the process.
The staff at Contact Solar are very professional and accommodated my design changes without question. They were really helpful and Matt the fitter did a really good job leaving the site spotless. Many Thanks
Had my panels installed by Contact solar at the end of Jan From my first contact with James from Contact Solar me enquired were dealt with in a very professional manner. The scaffolding and installation teams were very professional and did an excellent band very tidy job My solar panels are working very well and I am very pleased with the output I am getting Very happy customer
The whole process was painless. Everything arranged for me, didn't have to lift a finger. Guys doing the actual fitting were very professional, as well as amusing and entertaining. Thank you. Quality of finish very good too.
Has been a very pleasant experience from quotation to installation. Many thanks
Contact Solar were great throughout the process. They were clear about what I needed, provided each level of support with precision and provided a set of panels, battery and inverter that were first class and at a competitive price. The team who installed were courteous and polite and I'm excited by the returns I am already getting from this investment. Like many people keen on cutting my energy bills finding a good solar provider is a minefield, but at every stage I received nothing but honest and frank information that resulted in a great solar system for my property.
What a great experience using Contact Solar for our solar + battery installation. The office team are polite and very responsive on the phone, they follow up on actions and guide you through the process quickly. The actual install was done by Mat who is best described as ‘a force of nature’ turned up nice and early as promised, we agreed the build details and he put my mind at rest on several technical concerns. He single-handedly managed to complete our fairly large build in one day, impressive! Technically very experienced and standard of work was excellent. Overall, I thoroughly recommend Contact Solar for their excellent support, great value for money and experienced install team. Many thanks, Steve - Cambridge
Fantastic service. Very professional, so pleased I used them
Great company to deal with. Good communication and always helpful.
Very positive experience. Outstanding issues were promptly resolved with the close support of the company managers. I was very pleased and have my trust restored in the way the company carries its business.
I had initially contacted Contact Solar as was impressed with their installation for our next door neighbour [ and who has been very pleased with the system performance]. The whole buying process has been smooth with helpful staff and good communications, including prompt responses to questions. The installation team were also excellent and friendly and did a neat job. Although just installed, am already impressed as generating power on a dull February day and am pleased I bought a battery as part of the system. I certainly recommend Contact Solar.
Helpful staff, smooth process
Excellent process from start to finish. Helpful and with good advice and guidance and able to interpret our own questions and requirements. With an acknowledgement that they are a national company and its a busy time for them, my expectations were realistic. Even with the final installation, the 2 installers were absolutely amazing and stayed well after I thought they would to complete the job.
All the team has been amazing, quick answer to all my question and help us a lot with the installation of 2 pole isolator. The communications has been great and always polite. Very happy costumer. Thank you Dominic, Erin and all the team, you were been so amazing.
My solar power panels and battery pack are now installed and working. The installation team worked continuously with very few breaks. All very straightforward and completed in a day. Thank you Contact Solar!
Just had 12 panels fitted with two 5kw batteries by contact solar can highly recommend this company . I would like to thank the 3 Js who carried out the work who take pride in their work and installed the system with no effort thank you mr r black
Absolutely brilliant. Simple, professional, quick & neat installation. Would recommend & have already recommended this superb company.
Fantastic experience from stat to finish. James provided the quote quickly and answered all my questions in a timely manner. The installs team did a superb job coordinating everything given the poor weather at the start of the year. The installation was completed very quickly. After sales has been very quick to provide support where needed. Highly recommend Contact Solar
Very friendly service.. great staff.. very helpful from start to finish Well recommended
Excellent service, from start to finish, also a very competitive price. Installation went very smooth and we're up an running!
I was slightly sceptical about choosing a solar company, as it's a big investment and not something you want to get wrong! Contact Solar have been great from start to finish. Initial quotation with Geoff was very straightforward, with no pushy sales and made even better by a Black Friday discount. I was kept updated every step of the way and had very quick responses to any of my questions. Matt did a first rate job of fitting the system and explaining how it all worked. The Sunsynk products and app are great and we're already generating half our daily electricity usage in February. If you're after solar, I'd highly recommend Contact.
Have just had my solar installation completed very pleased with the installation the install team were professional and polite a pleasure to have them do the work . System comprise of 10 panels and 2 batteries,solar contact have been very good throughout the time keeping me informed and never pressuring me . l no hesitation in recommending them.
Absolutely brilliant service from start to finish. My contact - James - was very patient with my many questions and changes, while the whole process was done relatively quickly and for a decent price. Customer service was also excellent, with minimal time spent on hold or waiting for email replies. The installers on the day were extremely quick and friendly. I highly recommend!
Have just had panels and batteries installed. Where to start.....? Outstanding service from beginning to end and even ongoing. Very professional, very attentive and a great team to work with. Easily contactable with a very rapid response to any questions or queries. We as a family were totally confident that all of our doubts and niggles were explained in a way that was easily understood. The fitters were very rapid and the work certainly looks to be of the highest standard. Anyway, cut a very nice story short, we are now generating electricity and are not paying much to those ruthless capitalists, BG..... Daytime electricity consumption is mostly covered, even in these dark winter days. We are on about £4 per day now, down from £8...... not the greatest saving, but waiting for the longer days and more sunshine. One thing, if you can afford it, get as many batteries as you can..... we will upgrade from 2 to 4 when finances allow. Contact Solar are a great company and have been a real breath of fresh air. Well worth a look, if not call to get your panels fitted.
I started the process of getting solar installed in February 2022, I spent a long time reading trust pilot reviews and settled on Contact solar as my provider and installer. I had a lot of work to do including having 2 large poplar trees being removed and lots of additional electrical work as the panels where being fitted on an outbuilding and I wanted a lot of batteries and a larger inverter (5.4kw). My initial calls were with Phil who filled me with confidence and answered all my questions and set the scene of what needed to happen. I had to get a design approval by northern power grid (G99) which was a pain and took 10 weeks and NPG relieved me of almost £700 for the privilege. That’s the network provider nothing to do with the solar installer. We had our first install date just into the new year but unfortunately the electrician was ill and without the electrical work we wouldn’t be able to connect to the solar array. They rescheduled a week or 2 later and the team turned up when they said and text beforehand to explain what they were doing and how. The 3 J’s (that’s the instal team) were brilliant, they explained very clearly what they were doing, were very neat and tidy and explained how it all worked. The install was complex and they undertook all the work and 2 days later I had 18 panels, 4 batteries, a big inverter and at 4:20 on friday evening when they switched it all on I was generating free electric…..not a lot as it was almost dark but the system is up and running and contact solar have been brilliant (and patient) as most of the time delay was all down to me and my issues but they kept me informed all the way along the process and with the Due diligence I had performed on Contact Solar was spot on and its all gone without a hitch! The industry has a fair number of cowboys doing this sort of work but the install I had was fantastic and the team had been doing installs for contact solar for 15 years and it showed. They undertook the whole project not just the solar bit which I was very keen on and glad I chose them.
Great experience The whole process - initial query, survey, quote, scaffolding and then fitting was really straight forward and no hassle. The panels and battery are top notch. The setup of the app to monitor is straight forward and Contact Solar even help with good tariffs to expect from your energy provider Would thoroughly recommend
Contact Solar: 18 panel system (9 front/9 rear on an east-west orientation) with 10.4kw battery backup. A very easy company to deal with, communications throughout have been good. The 2 gentlemen who did the initial survey were very helpful, making some really good suggestions to ensure I got a system that would meet my expectations. On the day, the 3-man installation team were superb, arriving bright and early and they worked solidly to get the job done in a single day. Everything was left very clean & tidy, explanations were thorough in the handover by the installers and then followed-up by the Head Office for my documentation, all very straightforward. Would I recommend Contact Solar to friends, neighbours and family? Absolutely yes, no hesitation.
I opted for Solar panels as I have an EV and even though the projections for ROI are many years, I should recoup the costs a lot quicker due to the regular use of my EV and consideration for a future Air-con installation. The panels and equipment installation was professional, quick and clean. I originally signed up in November but only had everything installed today (01.02.2023) A bit of a wait but hopefully worth it. All the staff have been delightful to deal with at all stages and easy to get hold of. I opted for Contact Solar after reading so many positive reviews. They were more expensive than some of the other quotes but their reputation appears to be Stellar. You get what you pay for and I trust the aftercare will be as satisfying an experience.
I was really happy with the service from Contact Solar, they did a really professional job. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the scaffolders couldn't supply scaffolding for one part of the roof, so when the installers turned up they refused to put the panels there because they felt it wasn't safe for them. So I had to make a decision on the spot where to place the panels, when this should have been picked up in the survey.
I contacted Contact Solar They gave me a quote and then did not hassle me at all After confirmation I was interested they held the price while waiting for delivery of parts from China Eventually an installation date was fixed and Simon arrived to instal Simon worked through the day independently and completed the work putting my battery on line before he left
Excellent service from start to finish from Contact Solar.
The salesperson was very patient. He repeatedly had to explain things in order for me to understand how solar works, bsttery and bdnefits and he never got impatient or used a 'i'veis said this already' tone. :-) installation was quickly organised and communication maintained throughout.
Great company, good communication, did exactly what they said they would do. Excellent companies from scaffolding to installers, very polite, helpful and good workmanship, can’t praise them enough. Highly recommend, thank you.
Contact Solar did a great efficient job. The workmen arrived in the morning and had the solar panels and full electric system neatly fitted on our garage by the afternoon. Then the electrician showed me the system was already working and I would next be sent a link to monitor the usage and output on my phone. Great job! I would highly recommend this company.
Contract Solar have delivered brilliant service from consultation to install, very professional. They keeps you well informed if anything needs to be changed they inform you of any cost, advise if shading will reduce the effectiveness of the panel. Matt who installed our panels was very good, arrived on time advised the best place to put the cables and batteries shown how the batteries work etc. left everything clean and tidy. I would highly recommend them, as they were recommended to me.
Very good experience with Contact Solar. They take payment after completion. And the installation teams are nice and on time.
Installation team polite and courteous throughout time at property, whilst remaining safety conscious throughout of weather and roof conditions. Advisors and Accounts team pleasant to deal with and knowledgeable.
Everything leading up to today's very professionally executed installation has been excellent. The quote was very comprehensive, but was well-explained, and the initial survey was very helpful and answered a lot of questions. Contacting the company is very easy and the staff are always helpful. I'd certainly recommend Contact Solar to anyone who is considering a solar installation.
Very professional from start to finish. Thoroughly recommend.
Installation of solar and battery completed today. Very helpful and efficient and everything has gone to plan. Great service and helpful and friendly staff.
The whole experience has been excellent right from enquiry through to installation. Communication has been outstanding. The work carried out was efficient and of the highest quality.
I found Contact Solar to be an excellent company to deal with, from my initial enquiry to the installation they were great . I contacted some different companies but they were either too busy or not bothered but Contact Solar were great , everything went to plan and I’m very happy with everything, would recommend them to anyone looking to have Solar fitted . All the people I spoke to were really very helpful .
6.2kWp Solar installation of 16 panels, SunSynk Inverter and 10.2kWh of SunSynk battery storage. Straightforward install from Contact Solar following a survey. Professional and tidy install - Recommended
Excellent company to deal with. They must be incredibly busy at the moment but they have methodically handled the process throughout. It would have been better if you knew upfront that you were "being passed to the scaffold team" and the "install Team" then you would know who to ask for when calling. Two minor hiccups during the install but we agreed a fix and this was done. The cabling installation was very neat. Very pleased with the system, sunny January day and I'm generating 1.8Kw enough to charge the battery for the evening. The online portal and App is very good. Will recommend Contact Solar.
Contact Solar have been great all the way through the process. I have an awkard roof to put solar on and was turned away by many companies but contact solar managed to fit panels with little disruption. From going back a forth adjusting quotes to the installation they were very good.
Amazingly quick process, everyone at the company was so helpful, they answered all my calls quickly and replied to all my emails. The solar install went really well, the installers were helpful and polite, and it's amazing how efficient they were.
Installed an 8kw system
From our first contact with Geoff, James, Holly, Erin and everyone else at Contact Solar the experience was very good. On the day of the installation the fitters arrived early and set to work, they explained what was happening at each stage. They used our spare tiles to replace ones which were broken (not by them). When they finished they explained both the fuse box but also how the inverter and batteries are shut down and restarted in an emergency, they cleared up all the offcuts, cable ties and packaging before leaving. We would certainly recommend all the team. Many thanks Alison & Dave
Overall the experience has been good, starting with a no-nonsense quote without any pressure or salesmanship. Once accepted the wait for installation was quite lengthy, but I expect it was due to the popularity of solar energy. Installation when it came was swift and professional, completed in one day. One minor hiccup but this was rectified fairly swiftly.
Great experience, spoke to Geoff on many occasions before install. installer Dan and Conner was a good laugh and professional throughout. System working great and looks tidy. Was abit disappointed on not being able to see my tigo optimiser work on any app but maybe I should of stated better. Either way top company
Very good Company with competitive prices. Also, despite an ongoing surge of demand for solar, they are very responsive and provide outstanding services. Very happy with outcome - no complaints. Any issues after installation that were raised had been dealt with in a timely and professional manner. Finally, I am loving my solar panels.
Contact solar from start to finish were first class Geoff in sales and the hole team Thank you all
Contact Solar have been professional at every stage from first enquiry to post installation. Each member of their team and their subcontractors have been customer focused and a pleasure to deal with. I have had a 12 panel array plus two batteries fitted and am happy with what I have been given. First day filled both batteries and able to monitor via App. Excellent service 😊
Good advise around the quotation stage no hard sell just good presentation of facts along with competitive pricing. Waiting time for installation was longer than expected due to shortage of some parts. Installation took place on agreed date, installation team only managed to fit 15 panels and indicated that the 16th could not be fitted due to lack of space, this would mean that power generation would be 6% down on calculated figures, after several phone calls it was agreed that a 16th panel could be fitted and the team returned to fit the final panel. System all works as per the specification and the installation work is tidy and to a good standard.
James at contact solar helped us through every step of the process when we decided to have solar panels installed on our roof. We had problems initially with our council requiring us to have planning permission and again James was very helpful in suppling plans for us submit.
Quick quote, advised me on what was needed prior to installation and always kept up to date throughout the process
Contact Solar deliver a great service from start to finish. Everyone you deal with is friendly and efficient. The installation team worked really hard and were a pleasure to have around. Highly recommend this company.
I went to 5 solar companies for pricing and projection of possible savings. After careful consideration found Contact Solar to offer a really good price, and the estimated savings in line with others. The sales guy Phil was not pushy at all and everything well explained. Installation team easy to deal with. The installer Matt done a great job, turned up on time, everything left clean, tidy and took the time to explain the system. Although it is December have seen our electricity use drop already, which was a pleasant surprise as did not expect to see any reduction in the winter months. All in all very happy and a big thank you to everyone at Contact Solar
Very polite and helpful.Everything went smoothly.
When I saw the front page on their proposal I knew their figures were overly optimistic for us: Installation price £12,000 with a return on investment at £77,000! Their workings are out as they show: 1. That we use about 33% more electricity than we do. (I thought we provided an estimate of 3000 khw per year). 2. Electricity prices doubling every 10 years for the next 25 years. 3. Do not take into account that both the battery and the inverter will last between 5 to 15 years and not 25. The true savings range from between £200 to £1000 a year on todays rates, depending upon whether you are a low or high energy user. (This is not the gross electricty saving but the net saving afer apportioning costs fairly over the years). Over future years it is anyones guess as prices vary. Customer service seems good with this company as they seem keen to clear up any misunderstandings.
Great Service and happy with the final product. The initial online quote was fast and easy giving a good idea of cost of my requirements. After following up on this quote, Dominic called and provided a more detailed breakdown with good explanation from him. He was able to provide further information and was able to answer my queries quickly. Having decided to go ahead the work took place when I was told it would. The contractor’s completing the installation were polite, and efficient.
Contact Solar was recommended to me by a neighbour who has been pleased with his system. From the original quotation to installation it has taken three months which must be some achievement when so many people are going solar. Everyone at Contact Solar that I have dealt with have been extremely helpful, hence the title of this review Just looked at my smart meter in the kitchen and a little electric pylon symbol has appeared, running on Solar. A satisfied customer. Anthony Palmer
First class service from start to finish. Matt was an excellent installer, a very neat and professional job. Many thanks to the whole team.
I went for a smaller system compared with many of the reviews I have read on here. Only 11 panels and a 5.2KW battery. Overall I have been very impressed with Contact Solar. I chose them for 2 keys reasons. 1) they had great reviews unlike so many of the competitors. 2) They had a very competitive quote. In fact, out of the 4 quote I had, they had the lowest quote but were able to offer the most comprehensive system! Normally a lower quote for a better system would be a red flag, but I decided that so many good reviews couldn't all be fake. Turns out, the reviews were accurate. Something I really liked about Contact Solar was how transparent their billing was. The quote contained a completed breakdown of the costs and I am very pleased to say that there really were no hidden costs. The sales team were friendly and helpful. The survey team were friendly and helpful and the fitting team were once again friendly and helpful. If I had a negative comment, it would be that reaching them on the phone can be a challenge, presumably because they are in such high demand. However, I did find they would respond very quickly over email and any minor issue was resolved quickly. Overall very happy with Contact Solar and would recommend them to family and friends.
Excellent service and kept me informed at every stage
Excellent service.
Very efficient installation by the 3 J's team, in about 4 hours.
Our experience with Contact Solar has been fantastic! From the initial meeting with Mason, the survey with Tony and the electrical survey, we felt that we were in very good hands, which is important when making a large investment. There was no pressure to commit until we were ready which was appreciated.On the installation day, Dan and his team were great, very professional and efficient, again giving us total confidence in the job and our new system. Our dealings with the office have also been great: they are clearly busy but always responded and dealt with any queries quickly. I would highly recommend Contact Solar.
The solar employees arrived early and started the installation of our 10 panel solar system with battery back up.The weather wasn’t kind as it rained in the morning, the installation went well and they managed to complete the installation in the day.We have downloaded the app for the solar system and look forward to seeing how the system works.
Contact Solar operate a professional service from start to finish. They will guide you through what is and isn’t possible for your property, arrange scaffolding and installation. Matt, our installer was experienced, friendly and efficient from start to finish. Now we are reaping the benefits of Solar energy! Would highly recommend.
Good company to deal with. From first call to survey to installation, everything was explained correctly and clearly. Even on a cloudy day like today my system is happily producing 1.7kw of solar! I loved the whole process and everything seemed so easy, from start to finish. They may not be the cheapest but they make up for that with amazing customer service and quick installation. I called them first week of October and by 21st November my panels were already up. I wish every company was like this.
We found this to be a thoroughly reliable and honest company. The guys are always friendly and work very hard; they achieve a lot in a short time and deliver on promises. Our installation was completed about six weeks ago and has delivered faultlessly. We would recommend using them.
I highly recommend Contact Solar, I’m very satisfied with the whole process from my initial contact and quote to the installation. Everything was carried out quickly and efficiently, the installation crews were friendly and knowledgeable, the equipment is of a high standard. We are very happy with our system.
Great quality service as others have stated. Throughout the process there was no pushy over selling tactics, the panels and battery were installed in a timely and tidy manner all within one day. Would highly recommend for a smooth and seamless installation.
From the first enquiry to the installation, we always chatted to very knowledgeable people. They would provide different quotes and encouraged us to ask questions that they would happily reply to. They took us through the different processes, which was very helpful as we didn’t know much about the solar panels and what to expect. At no point we felt pressured, they are so very friendly. Luckily for us, we had no problems with scaffolding or dates being postponed. The engineer Matt was great, got on with the job but was really helpful when he finished to explain things and was super tidy. People in the office always say to ring them if we have more questions,hopefully it all runs like a dream. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent job, it was nice to see a local renowned firm carrying out the work with total professionalism. The work was carried out in a day with minimum disruption. I would recommend Contact Solar to anyone thinking of having solar, they have been honest and up front throughout the process. There has been no hard sell and all questions asked were answered honestly giving pros and cons for each option so I could make a decision based on the facts available.
Very pleased with my new Solar Panels and Battery from Contact Solar. There days it feels like almost every company you deal with has a sales team trying to hit a target. It was refreshing to find one that didn't. I found them happy to listen to what I wanted, and willing to provide good advice and options for me to consider. Having placed my order, the installation process was dealt with by friendly knowledgable people who clearly knew what they were doing and made it happen. I'll be using Contact Solar again, and will certainly recommend it to others.
Installation took place on Thursday over a day. Installation staff friendly and helpful. Inverter, battery and 18 panels are working well and the app provides a great deal of information. There was a few hours of sunshine this morning and it was good to watch the system working with solar power coming into the house and charging the battery. Would recommend Contact Solar.
The 3 Js - John, Jim and Junior (Alex) - were a great team, installed the system efficiently and cleared up afterwards. We would recommend Contact Solar to anyone. Great job, thank you!
Easy and quick process Process was very simple and communication was informative and swift. Very easy to place to order. Installation team arrived on time, very polite (which I love) and tidied up when done. System now installed so let’s hope everything else is just as good and e sun shines.
awesome job, quick, efficient, tidy and effective, very happy thanks :)
Good no nonsense customer service from office. Installation team quick, efficient and friendly despite getting very wet on the roof. Scaffolders also efficient and friendly.
Using Contact Solar was a great decision. I found Phil, my contact there open and honest and as an Engineer I knew his explanations of whatever I asked for were sensible and not bull. All their staff who answer the calls are all very polite and well trained, and they do what they promise to do which is refreshingly uncommon these days. The install was completed last week after some unpredictable delays (panels delivery, van breakdown) but all handled well by the company and rearranged quickly. I am really please with my installation of 11 panels, 5kWh battery and a Sunsynk 5.6kW inverter. It seems incredibly flexible and I am just beginning to realise its capabilities. The monitoring system runs on either mobile phone or PC and gives a great of what is going on to the minute, how much generation, how much to/from grid, how much to battery charging and total load. It switches seamlessly between these and even on the cloudiest days is generating a few hundred watts which is at least half of my base load. More than happy to recommend these guys but be aware that demand is huge at the moment and they are putting in a lot of systems every week.
Great customer service. Easy to speak to and did not push sales on to us. Couldn't recommend them highly enough, office and installation team.
I felt that the team of installers working at our property today were very professional, and efficient. They arrived promptly and set to work immediately each person responsible for their own tasks. They answered all our questions and were happy to route the cables underground as we had requested. They were polite, tidy and simply got on with the job with little inconvenience to us. Highly recommended. (In fact, I have already recommended to a friend).
It took me while to finally commit to Solar . I should of done it years ago. Contact Solar have been very helpful , Ben and the install team knowledgeable and courteous. Would recommend .
Had our panels fitted yesterday with a hitch which was resolved straight away by contact solar. So far our contact and dealing with them have been great. All questions answered.
After considerable research, checking reviews and several discussions I made an online request for a quote from Contact Solar. The auto response indicated an indicative cost in the median of other organisations. Contact excelled in the detailed evaluation resulting in a fair quote for the entire project of 14 panels, inverter and battery. Their care and attention to detail sealed the deal. The 4 man installation team were superb, working on two roofs, the loft and consumer unit throughout the day. Clean, tidy and respectful of our property and all the people within. The post installation customer service was prompt, friendly and informative. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to anyone considering the installation of a solar panel array.
Lovely staff, who have done a super quick job with the instalment. Phil was also lovely to chat to, and answered every question I’ve asking, patiently and was reassuring.
Perfect from start to finish , good communication, good updates and follow up from start to end . The 3 Js were more than super efficient, polite and clearly professional . I would not hesitate to recommend this firm .
Excellent service from enquiry to installation, always willing to discuss any facet of the order and/or installation - went with their recommendations with respect to size/spec of our array+battery and have not regretted it. Excellent price considering both the product and the process of ordering and installation. Would recommend to anyone.
An excellent company. Upon initial contact, the various options were clearly explained to me. Contact Solar have then kept me fully informed throughout the ordering and installation process in a very professional manner. When I telephoned them, they have answered quickly and make sure that someone gets back to me if the question cannot be answered on the spot. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who has an interest in a solar panel installation.
I purchased 8 solar panels including a solar battery and installation. It is worth mentioning that if your home doesn’t have a two pole isolator you need to obtain this from your energy provider (they do this for a fixed fee), as this can delay the process - through no fault of contact of solar. I was given a time period of 12 weeks from the date my isolator was installed and I had mine installed within 5 weeks, I was pleased with the turnaround. The installers were helpful and friendly and did the work over the course of 2 days. The system is up and running and the handover process has been very smooth. I’d definitely recommend contact solar and was very happy with my purchase.
I could not ask for a more professional company. The office team are always extremely polite and efficient, and everything was done in a very timely manner. As for the installation team they were a great team of lads. They were extremely quick with the installation and afterwards talked me through everything. The system is up and running and I am a happy bunny. The price I think was extremely good for what I paid for it - would highly recommend to anyone thinking of solar panels - just do it. You won't find a better company!
I would like to applaud Contact Solar who have today installed two additional batteries to our solar panel installation. The engineer, Wayne, was extremely helpful and proactive which will help us to plan more efficiently how we use electricity for our electric car. I would really recommend Contact Solar. It is refreshing that they can quote remotely without bombarding you with a 3 hour appointment. Our solar panels have generated almost enough electricity to make us self-sufficient over the summer as well as feeding into the grid. So delighted we chose Contact Solar!
I was pleasantly surprised that there was a very short wait between quote stage, survey and installation. Phil was very helpful. A few minor issues with broken slates but I'm confident these will be resolved and on the whole I am happy to be immediately saving money on energy bills
From the very first contact with Contact Solar found the team very professional and knowledgeable. After the virtual survey was completed we were visited by the surveyor who gave us terrific advise. There was never any pressure to buy anything we didn’t want which gave us great confidence. Day of installation the contractors turn up on time and we’re very smart and professional. The job was completed in one day and is very neat. All rubbish was taken away and the property was left clean and tidy. We are really happy with the installation and the whole experience of using Contact Solar
Great service from the initial quotation through to installation and beyond. Kept us informed of what was going on at all steps of the process, delivered on what they committed to doing and the installation was done in less than a day. Highly recommend.
The staff in the office are so helpful and nothing is a problem for them. The team that came to fit my soler system sent me a text to confirm that they would be arriving on that date and time and so they did. There where 4 people to fit the system and I must say that they where so friendly and all of my questions where answered. I would use this company again. They have all been great.
Using Contact Solar From the first request for a quotation, through to final completion, has been an effort free experience. Communicating with the sales person, I was able to establish the system which best suited our needs, this included solar panels and storage batteries. After negotiating the contract, the next stage involved a survey, which was carried out very straight-forward, without any issues. At this point the team indicated that we would require smart metres and an isolation switch from our energy supplier. Once the smart metres and isolation switch were installed, the team organised a date for scaffolding to be erected ready for the installation. The scaffolding team were quick and efficient with their work. The installation team arrived early on the day and set about unloading the components ready for installation. The panels were installed, complete with bird protection, as had been agreed. The inverter and battery storage were installed in the loft space, and the connection, with generation metre, to the main distribution board was undertaken in a very professional manner. The installation team were very efficient and the job was completed in about 7hours. I was pleased with the complete team at Contact Solar, and all the guys they used to install the equipment. Now the system is up and running, we are very please, with the system, the cost, and the overall package. I would not only recommend Contact Solar to anyone, but invite them to see the finished installation. Anthony Jones
Fantastic service from the moment I contacted them for a quotation through to install. In no way pushy and extremely knowledgeable in the field of work. Thanks for the service. Would highly recommend!
Company that delivers!!! Total System Output 8.8kw , 23 panels JA Solar 385w, 23 Tigo Optimizers, Sunsynk Inverter + 15Kw of Sunsynk Batteries. I had very specific requirements for my Solar System and have chosen Contact Solar. Geoff and Joseph were very helpful from the initial discussion, had a great understanding of my requirements (this included digging cables under my patio!). When it came to the installation Laurence and his team done a fabulous job, installed all equipment professionally and I have to admit it looks really cool in my garage. When it comes to pricing - this was competitive quote and invoice came with exact price what we agreed on. (This also included costs for scaffolding and cable digging). Brilliant experience with this company and big thanks to Geoff and his great team! Well done!
Jason and Erin from the contact team were great at answering my questions and keeping me up to date on my installation details. On installation day Matt was also able to answer all my questions and the installation went up with no problems. Quick and tidy with the work and left everything as it was before apart from the shiny new PV system. Thanks to everyone at Contact Solar.
Very pleased with every communication I have had with Contact Solar, from my initial enquiry through to admin arranging to get the system installed. Everyone I dealt with gave clear information and answered any questions clearly The fitters were very competent and professional, got on with the job and then explained what was what. I had a couple of slates that had been broken for some time. As I had spares and it was on the same roof pitch they even replaced them, which was above and beyond what they needed to do, but very much appreciated. The fitters themselves didn't break any slates during the installation. Overall an easy company to deal with and gives me confidence any future questions/system upgrades will be handled just as competently
System only been up and running day and a half so cannot comment on performance. However I can say Contact Solar staff throughout the process have been helpful, knowledgeable and good to deal with from sales and survey to Carley in the office at Chorley.
Excellent service from start to finish, friendly and polite, and plenty of information given.
Was very happy from start to finish. All throughout the process they kept me informed and up to date. A solar panel company you can fully trust. Would highly recommend using contact solar.
A truly remarkable experience. From my initial investigations to the phone discussion with Contact Solar's representative who explained the quote very clearly and gave me a realistic idea of the time frame to achieve my requirements. From ordering to survey and booking of the installation. And today 9th September 2022 the installation was completed by a very professional team who took great care of my property throughout and gave me a thorough easy to understand explanation of what they had done. Obviously a company that takes enormous pride in providing a great customer experience. Thank you very much. I will certainly be recommending Contact Solar to my friends and family.
I was so impressed with everybody at Contact Solar right from the quoting stage through to installation. Thanks ever so much to Alex Jimmy and Jon today, they were a fantastic installation team. The panels are working, the batteries are charging, and we’re looking forward to generating our own power!
Just had our solar panels and battery installed today. A seamless operation, the sub-contractors used by Contact Solar were very organised and completed the installation within 6 hours! My dealings with Contact Solar have been fairly brief, but despite this everything I was told would happen from survey to scaffolding to installation , has happened when I expected it to so no issues there. Once I get into the system a bit more I will write a further review on how it works
Perfect service from first contact to the installation team, very professional, friendly and helpful. I initially contacted another company but made the right choice by selecting Contact Solar to complete my installation.. I have and will continue to recommend your services
Extremely good installation, the team did a great job and we're very happy with the results. The staff at Contact Solar were also quick to resolve any issues we had and make sure everything was to our satisfaction.
From the word go, Contact Solar have been excellent. My initial enquiry was dealt with very efficiently by James, who informed me how the system worked and a suitable panel layout was sorted and a quotation given. The installers on the day were absolutely excellent. A very clean, efficient job by the 3 man team who knew their jobs inside out. I can highly recommend Contact Solar, as my experience has been extremely positive.
A great, local and professional service. Can highly reccomend
Very good 1st time experience with Contact Solar. They were professional, took me every step along the process without complicating procedures. An information profile produced was everything I need to decide on a purchase. Their installers were clean and tidy workers, leaving house just as it was before. I will not hesitate using their service again for future upgrades.
Really great experience. Great customer service, sales and installation. All easy and pain free. Clean and tidy install, with fabulous advice given throughout - special thanks to Geoff and Matt. So excited now to have lower energy bills, and do my bit for the environment. This team comes highly recommended.
I am very pleased with Contact Solar from start to finish. Always able to speak to someone when I have a question, and if not able to answer straight someone always came back with the answer. I found their prices very competitive when I made enquiries with other companies. The job was completed well within the day. Neat and tidy installation. Workmen were very professional. I would certainly be recommending Contact Solar.
My experience with Contact Solar has been positive from start to finish. I was given a very clear explanation over the phone as to how solar panels work, on my initial inquiry, followed by detailed documents. The surveyor was thorough and reassuring, answering all my questions and the team of three who came to install the system were friendly, cheerful and hard working. Everything was done within one day. The office team is very efficient and has kept me informed throughout with quick response times to my questions. I would definitely recommend this company.
Very knowledgeable and friendly staff, highly recommended!
Fantastic service from start to finnish.
Great experience from initial contact, via a competitive quote for my solar installation from Phil at Contact Solar. Followed by the organisation of the work by Holly in HO, who dealt with any questions I had about scaffolding, timings, materials. The work was carried out by Junior, Jimmy & John 3 guys who knew what they were doing when it came to putting up the panels and wiring the system up and connecting it all, so that it was up and running as promised the same day. After sales experience was delivered by Carley to ensure that everything had run smoothly and as expected. Overall a great service from a company who know what they are doing.
Had a new system installed today. The installation is very tidy and all working as expected. The intallation was completed in half a day and the installer kept me informed of what he was doing and when. In the planning stage Contact Solar kept me informed of progress and the whole process was stress free from start to finish. This is a big investment, and not the cheapest quote I had, but the quality of information and communication gave me reassurance to proceed with this company. Many other companies I approached didn't even respond to requests for a quote.
Really good service, the installers and the back office team were really friendly and helpful. Would recommend to anyone considering solar.
A smooth and efficient service from Contact Solar. We are very pleased with our panels and the benefits they are bringing us.
From start to finish, the team at Contact Solar have been immensely helpful, friendly and professional. Their contractors fir the scaffolding and the system installation have also been of the same high standard, which has made the whole experience painless. The installation has been completed neatly and professionally and the guys have left the place spotless - as if they have never been here! Highly recommended Contact Solar!
Great service since quotation. Dominic is kind to answer all quires. A little bit wait on the survey as they are quite busy and popular. The instalation team is smooth and sharp. Clearly explains wha they are doing and run through all the details before and after. So far i would recommend their service.
Excellent service throughout from our initial contact to the installation. A very professional, polite and friendly team. We have no hesitation in recommending Contact Solar to potential customers.
A great service from start to finish. The initial quote was good, I then added to it with an extra panel and bigger battery. Contact Solar organised a site visit very quickly, the scaffold then went up and the installation was a week later. Excellent service from contact solar and the installers.
We are so happy with our solar installation! Everyone we dealt with were very helpful and polite. We will definitely be recommending them to friends and family. So happy to have finally started our solar journey!
Although it was some time between ordering and delivery, we cannot fault the process of instalment. The scaffolders were friendly and efficient, and the installers were excellent guys, friendly, helpful and very efficient. They installed all the panels and batteries in less than a day, with the minimum of disruption. It's a good quality product and we look forward to reaping the benefits. Thanks very much to Contact Solar, it was worth the wait.
We recently had solar panels fitted with Contact Solar and so far the whole process has been very straightforward. All questions answered before installation and installation team did a good job. Thanks
Very impressed with the service given by Contact Solar. Our Solar energy system was installed neatly and efficiently. No mess, no disruption. The fitter was very knowledgable and polite. Will be recommending Contact Solar to my friends and family.
Just completed the installation of my solar panels ,Matt the installer did a great job left everything tidy and the system up and running all the dealings i have had from the initial enquiry through to the final completed system have been simple and straightforward looking forward now to saving some money !
From start to finish we had a brilliant experience. Phil was really helpful in answering all of my queries. There was no pushy salesman whatsoever, which I liked. The instation team were so quick, efficient and knowledgeable. ( the 3 j's) All in all a good experience. Thankyou.
Review of our solar panel installation by Contact Solar Like most people buying solar panels, I shopped around for 3 quotes from different companies, including one of the big energy companies. I decided to go with Contact Solar not only because of their competitive price but the fact that they seemed like a good company to deal with. Their quote was by far the most professional and answered the questions I wanted answering. They responded both on by e-mail and on the phone promptly. The people you talked to seemed to know what they were doing and were pleasant and approachable (so different to a lot of customer service these days –‘your call is important to us, but we are experiencing unusually high call volume!’ – which is the last thing you want! ) So, I placed my order with them. The whole process was very good. The office team, surveyor, the scaffolders, the installation team – big shout out to the ‘3Js’ – nice bunch of lads who did and excellent job. It is early days, but I am delighted with the way the system is working. I am pleased that I opted for a battery as well as panels as it has worked well to power the house when it gets dark. I am quite surprised by how much electricity is generated even on a dull cloudy day. Since installation I have bought no electricity. Thank you Contact Solar, I am happy to recommend you!
Good service from beginning to end Friendly instal team and knowledgable back room staff
Just have my system installed last week. Professional people. Alex has done a beautiful works inside a very tight understaircase cupboard. Recommend!
Could not fault the service from Contact Solar from first enquiry through survey, installation and setup. Very experienced and friendly team. They did what they said they would do right on time. Highly recommended.
Competitively priced and high quality of work, with no payment until all work is completed. I would recommend them.
I had the pleasure of the 3 J's on my install and couldn't be happier with the product. The guys were fitting the panels in the scorching heat, impressed with how they coped in the sun. Really tidy install all hidden away in an outside utility cupboard organised in such a way I can still store everything I needed to store in there aswell. If I wanted to be super picky with the guys they were delayed by a bit of traffic between jobs but they can't be blamed with having to contend with the M25. I think that shows how good they are if that's all that can be said. I'll come back and re-review after 6 months with the performance and data for those interested.
Contact Solar installed a large solar system with storage batteries at our house this week. The whole process has been well managed and carried out. The price quoted is exactly what I have been charged and everyone involved has been easy to contact, responsive, keen to explain how everything works and friendly and good to deal with. I tried lots of firms to try and get solar fitted and Contact Solar were the only ones able to provide an efficient and effective response .
I have nothing but positive words for Contact Solar and their services. They were reliable, turned up when they were supposed to and delivered the services as confirmed. Their customer support department is also first class. Highly recommended.
Really nice installers Install took a little longer than planed but expected, smooth process
Very impressed with the service provided by Contact Solar. Took a couple of days for brackets and solar panels to be installed on the roof and then a couple of days later the electricians came round to install inverter and batteries. System works a treat!
Overall a good experience with Contact Solar and I’d recommend them. Good communication, everything clear in terms of what we needed, when and how it would all work. Installation went smoothly and exactly as expected. It took a little while from confirming the order to getting it installed but understandable due to the high demand.
Competitive price & well specified tech. Everyone I spoke with a Contact Solar was friendly and knowledgeable. No pressure to purchase and they worked hard to answer all my many questions. Matt who did our installation was quick, made no mess and took real care and pride in it.
A very professional company with both a trusting and trustworthy philosophy. Given the surge in orders due to increasing electricity prices, I was pleasantly surprised in how quickly my system was installed. There was a slight hitch in my roof tiles requiring a special fit bracket, but now it's all up and running. I may have overdone the panels (18 of them) which at the height of summer appear to be maxing out the 16A inverter once the battery is full, but I'm hoping they'll pay off on the more usual duller UK days. A few tweaks may be needed to try and get the inverter display to match the smart meter but is definitely making lots of power.
Cant fault the customer service and the installation of the solar system ran smoothly and without any problems. The guys doing the installation led by Alex were great and cleaned up after themselves and with a young baby in the house they were mindful of noise.
From first contact to final installation the team at Contact Solar were professional in there approach. The system is up and running and saving me money win win
Contact Solar have been a pleasure to deal with. The installation took place within 2 months of me first making contact. The installation was very professional and I'm extremely pleased with the PV/Battery solution provided.
I was very impressed from the initial enquiry to the finished job. The installation team were a joy to have on the premises and we were all amazed at the speed and efficiency of of the installation Many thanks Paul and Jan
My system was fitted yesterday - 5kw system: 12 panels, inverter and battery. Could not be more pleased with the process and service to date. There was no hard sell. Got a quote and extensive documentation online which made it easy to compare what was being offered with other quotes I got. May have been able to get it a little bit cheaper from elsewhere, but was swayed by the positive reviews compared to others. Spoke to James in the office to clarify things which was really helpful. Within weeks Tony had called to survey the bungalow and finalise details of the install which Matt did yesterday. I have had workman in the house for the last 40 years - some good, some bad, some very bad to be honest. Matt was absolutely superb. Arrived at 8.30am and just cracked on. Had to dodge the showers a bit, but he was done and dusted by the afternoon. So polite, so professional it was unbelievable. The whole job was just so neat and tidy. No fuss, no mess. Could not recommend more highly - a star. All I have now is the anxiety of any customer new to solar wondering whether they work. Have to set up the app to monitor the system and make any adjustment to my lifestyle to maximise the benefit of the panels. Expecting that be as painless as the process so far.
Excellent from start to completion. All the staff I dealt with were knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Can't name them all, but James who advised me on what I needed, Holly who has the unenviable job of dealing with the scaffolders and Matt who installed the panels etc were excellent. I couldn't think of a better company to deal with.
Excellent service from Contact Solar from enquiry to planning to installation and post installation. The installation team were fantastic and did a very professional and tidy job. Staff at the office were also very professional and helpful. I have no hesitation in recommending Contact Solar if you are thinking of installing a solar PV system.
Contact Solar have just completed installation of panels and inverter and battery. The least stressful part of our refurbishment to date! No pressure, no deposit. Efficient scaffolding team. Brackets and panels one day and then wiring and electrics another - brilliant. One thing ….they should lobby their bank to get onto that scheme that tells you, the payer, to whom you are sending large sums of money!
Had a great experience with contact solar. Will admit they weren't the cheapest company I found, but I must have countacted around 12 different companies, of which 2 replied quickly, 1 took over 6 months to set up a phone call (looking at you e-on) and another emailed me about a week ago to tell me that they realised their lead building company had sent all the emails into their junk inbox. I tell you this just so you get an idea of the market. Of the people that replied, the second best company said they would be able to install in 12 weeks+ time. Which is crazy to me, I get it, there's been a global supply shortage, compiled with the increasing price of electric so everyone wants to go solar, but still, mental! So what did I like? They picked up the phone. They did this a lot as I had a fair few questions, and they were very helpful. They showed up when they said they would show up. The guy that came round to properly do the quotation (ie to measure the roof to see how many panels would fit, and where the inverter would go) was knowledgeable and really helpful, and was understandably busy but still took the time to answer all my questions. I got an install date, scaffolding was placed up quickly - I did have to speak to my neighbours due to having a conservatory and issues with where the scaffolding needed to be placed - all of this was communicated to me way ahead of time and allowed me to get sign off from both neighbours with plenty of headway. The scaffolding company (which is a different entity, but their cost is covered in the quote) were very good, knocked on the neighbours door, kept everyone happy. Then the install happened - the guy that did it (Matt) did the whole thing on his own and absolutely flew through the install. Really nice guy, did great work, very happy with the job. So what were the downsides? My battery took like 2 extra working days to arrive after my panels. No biggy. I paid slightly more than had I have gone with some of the other companies. However that said, the best quote I got I would have had to arrange my own scaffolding, contact solar completely included all this in the quote and made it a non issue, and the speed at which I could start saving money on my electric probably cancelled out the difference in price anyway. Overall, really happy with it, would definitely recommend them.
From first completing a request form and getting the subsequent quote from Dominic, things have proceeded smoothly, with my various questions being answered and all the information I wanted being provided. the surveyor needed to change the installation slightly but this wasn't a problem. Communication was good when organising when the various elements would be done. The inverter was initially mounted to low and stuck out to far, when I said this was an issue, it was moved higher up at no cost, which I was very pleased about. Having downloaded the data logger, seeing the graph with all the information regarding the systems performance is fascinating! I'm looking forward to not only saving money, but making some as well, although I'm curious to see what it's like on short dull winter days... it must still be better than nothing. I'm very pleased with the whole experience.
Super service from James and the team at contact solar from start to finish. My neighbour recommended them and i can see why! Contact solar took care of everything, the plan and choice of system and the onsite measuring confirmed we could do more, in the end we had 14 panels / battery / inverter installed on time and extremely well done by the electricians and roofers. Making a difference already with electric usage. Great after support from Carley and the team on next steps to get the app to see all the stuff in real time and advice on how we get an export tariff set up - all new to us - but in safe hands -- Terrific from start to finish.!!
Great process from start to finish, clear communication throughout
From the first inquiry talking to James they have been nothing but professional. They have answered any questions I had . We had a plan of works which stayed on track. Tony came out to do the survey, very knowledgeable & sugessted the front and back panels work I dependantly. Matt who fitted the panels was just amazing, still can't believe he did it all on his own. Due to miscommunication with scaffolding guys he had to come back to finish off on a Friday afternoon on the way back home! Dedication! He was such a nice bloke and explained the process to us. Left us after 7pm in that Friday. Would recommend this company in a heartbeat. Many thanks
Our experience of contact solar has been extremely positive. Professional and efficient from quoting through to installation. Very pleased 😀
Great experience, no hard sell, no up sell, so friendly and informative thanks Geoff. Scaffolders very tidy and careful of my garden. Install team very professional and considerate. Regular updates on install dates, happened exactly when I was told it would. Best bit I have not used any electricity from the grid in first 24 hours... Yeh!! Would definitely suggest getting as many panels as you can and battery backup. Mine was 15 panels and battery backup. My thanks to your team..... Lee 😁
Good experience with all contacts concerned. Installation completed this morning by the wizard Matt - could not be happier. Well done everyone.
Absolutely very pleased with our solar 7kw system with two batteries etc., Cannot wait to being paid for exporting electric to the grid through my electric supplier. We cannot fault Contact-Solar at all and everyone was very professional and not pushing us to place the order. Once again, we are very pleased and would HIGHLY recommend Contact-Solar for your installation. Thankyou to all at Contact-Solar.
Contact Solar have just completed installation of our solar panel and battery battery system. We have been impressed with how straightforward it has been given the current demand. The quote from James and discussed regarding number and placement of panels was very smooth. The only slight hiccup was the communication around the scaffolding and installation date could have been better. The installation crew of Steve, Jimmy and Junior were brilliant. Extremely hard working and they discussed placement of panels and the inverter/battery to give a much better appearance across the front of our house and make it more user friendly. Thank you.
Excellent service from start to finish clean professional and efficient. All staff were friendly and informative especially the telephone assistants who kept me informed and advised accordingly. All in all a painless experience and one company I can sincerely recommend for installation of solar panels. Thank you Mrs. Burgess
14 x Solar Panels + 9.6kW Battery System I had a great overall experience with the installation of my solar panels. It's not all smooth sailing given the crazy demand for solar panels and batteries right now but the entire team at Contact Solar has handled the pressure really well. My initial interaction was with James from the sales team and he was great at explaining the details and answering my questions. I can sense that he's extremely busy with handling the high volume of customers that they have but he always responded to my queries really promptly and I felt comfortable to ask questions that I have. After agreeing on the right system for my house, the rest of the process went on relatively smoothly -- there were a few hiccups with having to replace the brand of the inverter and batteries and some delays with the actual installation but it was all handled professionally so I didn't worry at all. The installation was done by Alex and Jimmy and they were just brilliant. The British summer is just so unpredictable so there were spells of showers throughout the day and I was worried that this will delay the installation. Despite the adverse weather, Alex and Jimmy still powered through the installation and finished the job. I also have to commend how neat and tidy the installation is so really superb job. Overall 5 star review from me. My thanks to the entire Contact Solar team.
Great service. Clear communication from the outset and a very simple process to go through. Whilst there was some time between the initial quote and the installation because of obvious supply and demand issues, the installation itself was very quick. Scaffolding erected on Monday and installation completed yesterday. Many thanks to James and all the team at Contact Solar.
Just had solar panels and battery storage installed by Contact Solar. The whole process was very professional, no hard sell, no gimmicks, but a high quality installation at a competitive price. We were kept informed of progress at all stages of the process, and staff are very friendly and approachable. The panels and batteries are now providing about 85% of our electricity, 45% direct from the PV panels and 40% from the batteries. Excess energy from the panels is exported to the grid, for which you can be paid under a Smart Export Guarantee scheme, providing you are on a Smart meter. I have no hesitation in recommending Contact Solar.
Can't praise Contact Solar highly enough. From the admin staff in the office to the guys who installed the system. All first class, a truly wonderful service. They overcame the obstacles in a speedy manner and bent over backwards to get the job completed within a couple of months, despite being really busy. I have already recommended a couple of friends and would have no hesitation in recommending Contact Solar in the future either.
Excellent sales. Bit of a wait but to be expected with the economy. Can not give a fault. Neat and tidy.
Very attentive sales team. The after sale support was there. They don't take your money and run. Absolutely will be recommending my friends and family
Excellent installation by the team. Very happy with the whole process from start to finish. Office staff always obliging and happy to help. Would recommend 👍
Just had our system fitted - 18 panels and two batteries. The whole job has gone extremely well from start to finish. I was kept fully informed at all times, everyone turned up on time as scheduled - they were polite and helpful and always did a very clean and tidy job with minimum disruption. The quote has been fully adhered to - no hidden extras or additional / unexpected costs. Can't thank everyone enough - been a superb job and wouldn't hesitate to recommend. From admin team to scaffolding team - excellent. Thankyou.
We had solar panels installed, with a battery. The consultation was very thorough and we felt that we we getting good service at a good price, installation took a little longer than expected and I suggest maintaining more contact with customers in this period as we were left with no date for many weeks.. then again after scaffold installation there was no initial date for a couple of weeks. The work was carried out over 2 days due to weather restrictions but completed with no mess etc More information needed regarding the app to track what the panels are doing as there’s no after installation support regarding that but ultimately happy with what is on the roof and that hopefully our 1st bill will show a benefit
Contact Solar have just finished installing my new Solar Panel/Battery system and I could not be happier. The whole process from start to finish was smooth, from the scaffolding being installed to the electricians connecting the system to my power. The added bonus was also the system itself was very competitively priced. Everything was explained to me in detail and all the staff involved where helpful and knowledgeable. 5/5 as far as I am concerned, and I would definitely recommend Contact Solar to any of my friends and family.
Had the Installation over 2 Fridays due to my work Commitments they were amazingly understanding, the fitting was fantastic and the Electricians were Second to None really impressed with the installation Process and ive even found out eons smart meter is charging for electric im not even using (300watts an hour) thankyou contact solar
Excellent service. Was quoted a very competitive price and the installation went smoothly with no issues. Delighted with the system. Highly recommended.
Excellent service. A little bit of a wait for the installation but it was to be expected with the energy price rises. I cannot fault the company. The fitting team were professional and cleaned up all their mess. The admin team was attentive and efficient in completing all paperwork.
I cannot praise this company enough. From the sales team who provided me with the latest technology solar panels and lithium products. The contract scaffolders were brilliant and the installation team were faultless. The admin team were very helpful especially with the signing of contracts and the operation of the system Dennis Pearson
Very happy with Contact Solar start to finish and I recommended to family and friends with a number also choosing to use Contact Solar for their installations. We have a 6kW array and 5kW of batteries. It has turned out to be a very clever move to install a solar and battery setup with the increases in energy costs. On top of that we have produced more than 2000kWh more electricity than our estimate for our first year which is of course great.
Brillaint friendly service high quality workmanship thoroughly recommended
Very professional installation. Communicated with at all times. Highly delighted.
Couldn’t have been easier, great communication, no delay, all you could need.
Very pleasant co to deal with especially after sitting through endless power point presentation from a competitor. No pressure selling and I believe a suitable specification for our use. Installation very efficient and left clean and tidy by mid afternoon. Minor issue with house power tripping out after departure but promptly rectified. Delay waiting for storage batteries but understandable as there is a national shortage. Have already passed on a recommendation.
Nice team of people but lack of clear communication regarding the instalation. No plans were shared with us and felt like we had to ask a lot of questions during the period before set up. Also not given any timetable of events, just wait for a phone call to tell us when. It seems that it is different companies running different parts of the process so more elements to go wrong. We have managed to have our panels now installed with only a few problems but the main one being the fact that we have no batteries yet and no actual date that they may appear.
Excellent service. Professional team that is keen on doing a good job.
Contact solar installed panels and battery at my house a few days ago, very smooth process from start to finish, the install was done by two very competent engineers, system is working perfectly and even though its overcast at the moment i am not using any electric from the grid. Good job, thank you Contact Solar
16 x Solar Panels & 9.6kW Battery System. Can't fault the experience to date (Batteries to follow, delayed due to current world climate). Easy to get hold off, Becky great on phone if you need to talk to company. Dealings with company been straight forward from initial contact right through to recent installation. All the people at Contact Solar and the Installation Team have been very nice and polite. Installation 5 star, shown & demonstrated app for functional system before leaving. Overall 5 star review from me. My thanks to Contact Solar, Electricians and Solar Panel Installation Team.
The Contact Solar team were a pleasure to work with, the price was very competitive, and we are now making our own power. The installation of 16 panels was straight forward, with a neat job on the roof and also with the electrical cabling both inside and out.
The installation was very quick - around 3 hours to install 16 panels plus inverter etc. System works perfectly and the expected power output from the panels is where I expected it to be. Their support system is also exemplary - you ring them up and somebody answers immediately and they know what they are talking about.
Very happy with the service provided by all at Contact Solar. The installation of the solar panels and Inverter went according to plan and dates quoted. Office and installation team very helpful and courteous. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.
Contact Solar have been extremely professional and timely in responding to my initial enquiries and eventual installation. A really good team to work with and very happy with my installation.
Very good job installing our solar panels. They were tidy and efficient. A+++ .definitely recommended.
Contacted contact solar and spoke to demonic who had done all the forecast figures and the price he then arranged for the scaffolding to be put up i then cleaned moss of my roof and re cemented my ridge tile on as the cement had gone due to it age (so why your waiting for solar installation to take place you can use the scaffolding to get any jobs you want to do, my wise thought ) On the day of installation 4 guy turned up very polite and installed everything in 4.5hrs and left it tidy ,2 days later Carley rang me to discuss next stage about paper work guarantees to be completed for me and i paid my bill I received copy of invoice and receipt in email Carley said if i have any query's or issues to ring, all the staff are very friendly and polite they have been very easy to work with and would use them again if i moved A GREAT JOB VERY HAPPY
Very good sales with no pressure, great installation team. Admin office team not very good, don't return calls and lie. When it came to removing scaffolding after payment it basically became my problem. Shame as product is very good.
The whole process was very smooth from start to finish. The installers were very considerate and they made a lovely job of the installation.
Started the research for a Solar Panel and storage system and very soon became bogged down in quotes and confusion and even some hard sell calls from some companies and no responses from others! Eventually tried Contact Solar and they responded quickly, clearly, and no hard sell or patronising our lack of expertise. The price was what we expected and we decided to go ahead with them. They are very busy now especially with all the current worries about energy costs so the installation date was a bit later then we thought but actually worked in our favour as we did not have to pay VAT by the time it was installed😂 The three man team who came to do the installation were extremely hard working, efficient and went the extra mile helping us remove and replace fence panels so they could access the property. The job was completed in about 6 hours, caused minimal disruption and everything was explained clearly to us before they left . Much appreciated. We can now monitor our energy use both from the panels and the grid and make informed decisions on how to use it well. They bonus of knowing we are doing our little bit to reduce our carbon footprint to leave a better situation for the Grandchildren also helps. We would certainly recommend this company.
Had a 13 Panel 5Kw system with battery storage installed and have been very pleased with the process. Contact Solar were quick to provide a quote, survey and installation and the price was competitive. The installation went very smoothly, the installer Matt was very professional, did a very neat job and provided a helpful hand-over. thanks
Very good service, excellent communication and very quick with survey to installation. Highly recommend
It's been a pleasure dealing with Contact Solar, they provided a very competitive quote. The Sales team explained everything well and promptly answered the many questions I had. They even put up with me changing the installation date a few times. The installers that did the job, were thorough, they did a tidy job. They ran everything by me, explaining where and what was being installed. They cleaned up after the work was complete and then ran me through the app, demonstrating the system in action. Overall a very postive experience and I'd not hesistate recommending Solar Contact to anyone looking to have an installation done.
All installed quickly and simply. All made clear and no problems. No hard sell and competitive price.
Excellent service, very helpful and friendly staff. Installation was quick and efficient. I am very pleased with the equipment and staff. Recommended them to my son who also had them install a similar system.
Quote was subject to discussion and agreement - I liked that as geoff came over as genuine. The installation date was agreed & later I was contacted about bringing it foward a couple of days - that was a surprise but a really pleasant one as I was keen to go ahead and try to become self-sufficient or as near as possible. Anyway on the day Matt arrived at 8 am and got down to work immediately. He worked hard and the whole installation was completed in 4 hours. That was brilliant. I had planned to photograph the roof work but the panels were in place before I got a chance to take photos. I was amazed. Even Matt said things just clicked "a sweet installation" he said. Power generation began as soon as the system was switched on. Matt showed me the inverter and the display -it is affixed to the garage wall by the fuse box. A neat & tidy installation. Of course it's a bit soon for me to take it all in but wow - the smart meter in the house displayed a pylon; that means the panels were chugging away & display stated the cost was "£NIL". You can't beat that can you. Anyway I forgot & turned off my internet router so this morning I turned that back on asap - this did not cause a problem but I must remember to leave the router on. It took about 20 minutes for the system to go from standby (yes even solar panels sleep overnight in the dark) to operating; there was a process of various countdowns. Those over & the small amount of grid charged power ended as the panels took over. Contact Solar have been efficient pleasant and thorough throughout the whole process in both emails and personal contact by phone. My questions have been answered immediately and to my full satisfaction. I am very pleased with how everything has turned out; yes it's early days so now I can just relax and observe and learn what the panels do and how the clever brain aka the inverter "does it's thing". Overall my rating is a very well deserved 5 stars 10 out of 10!
Excellent service, quote sent straight away with a good mix of technical specifications and simple information. The Install team we very friendly and did an excellent job of installing the solar and battery system, property was left clean and tidy and the installers gave a good handover of the installation and explained how every thing works.
Very happy with my panels - thank you. Communication and customer services was excellent, as was the installation process. The whole process from planning to finish was well explained and easy. Would happily recommend Contact Solar to others.
Great team. I work in the energy industry and track markets - I didn't share this to test the transparency of the sell & payback. Genuinely transparent company with great service. I've lined up a couple of family members for quotes.
The staff at Contact Solar are pleasant, knowledgeable and professional. Any questions were answered promptly and once I had a quotation I gave the go ahead. Scaffolding was erected and Niall and Tom arrived to erect the panels and connect to the electricity network. From start to finish everything went smoothly. You cannot go wrong with Contact Solar and I cannot recommend them too highly. An excellent job from start to finish. Thank you to everyone.
Whilst we had several issues in getting to the final install, primarily the survey was not conducted robustly enough, the work of the fitters and the contacts in Head Office were always professional and competent. Would happily recommend and whilst they are not the cheapest the price was very competitive.
Quick friendly service, will recommend to others.
Brilliant, in every aspect!
Mixed feelings, I'm afraid. Last summer we commissioned the company to re-roof our property which required removing and restoring existing solar panels. Firstly, there was no site survey, the roofers found that the contracted scaffolding was incomplete and then they had no access to an elevator to ferry the old tiles down and the new tiles up to the roof. We also paid twice over for a pigeon cage (which they couldn't install) and then spikes which the birds simply ignored. We now have a pigeon colony under our panels on the west facing roof. Finally, several Klober edge tile plastic mouldings simply peeled off during storm Eunice. These had been negligently secured (nailed rather than screwed) and cost us £600 to replace. The company has failed to respond to 2 emails relating to this latter debacle. Earlier, the employees were responsive and polite.
Excellent product and company as a whole the installer was fast efficient and very knowledgeable. The install went without a hitch and all was left neat and tidy.
Contact Solar offered a very competitive quote for solar and storage. The team came and fitted 11 panels in just 3 hours and the battery and wiring completed in 4. The system is now up and running and the app monitors how power is distributed with a simple real time flow diagram. Could not be more pleased.
Very efficient installation by Matt today. He worked like a Trojan to install the panels, battery and EV charger. A very neat job which can’t be faulted. Delighted to see the panels generating power and my grid consumption set to zero. Good experience all round from start to finish.
Very pleased, all installed within 1 day, professional. installed 14 panels on 3 roofs parts, plus 7.2Kwh battery. Wife on the Lux Power monitor center app all the time (new fad) seeing how much power in battery and how much is being generated by the panels etc.. :-)
I have been so impressed by everyone at Contact Solar. Each step of the process was handled with great efficiency with clear explanations and guidance provided. I would seriously recommend Contact Solar to anyone! PS on a slightly overcast January day the panels are already providing all the electricity we are currently using! Not bad for their first Dayan action!
From start to finish a really professional installation. The ladies in the office so helpful and always with a warm smile in their voice. An outstanding thank you has to go to Matt for the neat and professional way that he did our installation of 12 panels, inverter and 3 backup batteries. Briefly a TOP company doing a TOP system & installation. Thank you and Best regards.
Contact Solar was recommended by a friend who had had an installation completed by them. For my own installation I had 3 quotes with similar pricing and decided to run with them as the quotation support was so very good. I must particularly comment on what was a one man installation task. Matt was simply excellent with great customer empathy doing a very quick though thorough and tidy job. Their office staff at Chorley are also really helpful.
Excellent experience from start to finish. The installers did a very quick and efficient job, and were friendly and polite. Everyone I have spoken to has been helpful and knowledgeable. Overall highly recommended.
We found the experience to be positive from the first contact. The sales team fully explain the offer and answer any questions. We were pleasantly surprised by how quickly the company were able to move things on. The fitting team were pleasant and completed the work in one day they left no mess and explained the system before they left. There were no hidden extras in the bill even the scaffold was included. We look forward to using the system in the years to come and it is good to know that we are in a small way helping the environment by generating some of the energy we are using.
The fitters came on time, they kept everywhere clean and tidy, all fitted within the time scale. All friendly people and informative. thanks Simon E
I am pleased with the installation done by contact solar. 18 panels and battery storage. They fitted everything just as I wanted it and The three J’s (installation team) were very neat and tidy.
Great communication. the installers were very friendly and really quick and left a very professionally finished job. would defiantly recommend
They very quickly booked us in and installation was very quick! The installers were professional and explained everything to us in great detail.
Excellent service
Fast and professional install, a neat job very pleased.
Thank you Contact Solar. Very efficient service from point of contact to installation. Professional staff. Would definitely recommend you.
The Installation Team - JJJ The installation team, Jimmy, John and Junior worked very well and very quickly. No mess left either, nice and tidy. 2 systems installed and both are performing well. Excellent service throughout with both the onsite team and back office support team too. Highly recommended. Robin Baylie
Have always wanted to get Solar Panels fitted onto my house, Geoff made the experience really easy from the initial contact to the end ans I'd highly recommend!
The whole process was done from quote to installation very quickly . The installation took just 1/2 a day and no extras added to the quote . well Done!! An early start though 7.40 am on installation day
Thses guys don't let the grass grow under their feet, the whole process from enquiring to installation took 10 days. The guys did a first class job which took under 6 hour and they left the site the way they found it
The best customer service I have had from any company that I can remember. I was put off getting quotes for solar panels as many companies seem to just pass on your details to lots of different installers. I wanted advice and a quote and to decide without any sales hassle. Contact solar did exactly that. Every person I spoke to throughout the process felt like they were knowledgeable and there to advise rather than sell. They were polite, prompt and did everything they said they would. The solar panels are now fitted and we are really pleased with the result. Happy with the price quoted and rising electricity prices since the quote mean the panels will pay for themselves even sooner. Thanks to everyone involved with the comany.
Front the initial call to installation, they were very polite, fast and professional, the sales staff were great to deal with which sometimes is not the case with other companies, they were knowledgeable and friendly and not pushy. The installation team were fantastic, simply brilliant, don't go else where.
Contact Solar have been great throughout, really great team at the office working through the details of what I needed and the installation team were lovely and very tidy.
Update: the bird protection I had fitted at the time of installation was not done properly and needs to be fixed. It has been silence from the office team since I raised this over a week ago, not even an acknowledgement. My comment below about good communcation looks like it only applies until you pay the bill. Just had solar installation completed yesterday within the day. Team did a good job, discussed choices for inverter/battery and were able to accommodate my wishes even though it wasn't initially the most obviously. Kept me informed of progress and did a thorough walk through of the system components before leaving. Good communication from office team before hand, on the day and now the day after. Initial view of the way the system is performing is positive - luckily a sunny day in the Scottish Highlands during October!
Very professional and friendly company
Contact Solar have been excellent. From the initial enquiry they have communicated clearly and in a timely fashion. The fitters who came today were lovely guys, they did an excellent job, very efficient, clean and tidy. Thank you!
Excellent experience from start to finish, they did exactly what they say they are going to do, and more, the team are friendly and accommodating. Shout out to the installation team who fitted the system in really bad weather, which improved as the day went on, Mike , Danny and Wayne they were excellent, Mike took time to explain everything and made sure we were happy with everything. Thank you to the whole team for making the experience of buying a solar system easy, we highly recommend this company.
The quote was correct and accurate with estimated returns. The installation was done quickly and very nicely. Highly recommended!
From beginning to end, the whole process of specifying and installing solar panels has been outstanding with Contact Solar. The administration, sales and installation teams are very approachable and support the concerns of householders embracing new technology. My installation included panels on 3 different roof aspects which brought its own challenges. A different installer dismissed the possibility of 16 panels and offered no solution. Using exact measurements and precise fitting, the Contact Solar team succeeded in installing all 16 panels which function perfectly and look great. Before the installation team had left my drive I had recommended them to 2 of my friends. Thank you all at Contact Solar. A very happy Kenilworth resident
Really pleased with the process from end-to-end. Quick, clear and transparent quotation, no pressure / repeat calls and even advising against some options that wouldn't be beneficial due to lack of shading. Installation arranged promptly, team very efficient, polite and tidy. One battery out of stock quickly resolved with a repeat visit date arranged around our availability a few days later.
Excellent service from first contact through to complete installation. Install team were fantastic, very knowledgeable and professional. Office team were equally impressive and the whole journey was seamless, a well organised and professional company.
From the start with just my enquiry, I have found the staff at Contact Solar to be very helpful. They fitted the system today and it was a pleasure dealing with employees who actually had pride in their work and who they work for. Would recommend the company to anyone looking for professional installation with pleasant helpful staff. WELL DONE ALL
Had reservations about installing solar but team answered all questions, were very knowledgeable and professional. Although installation was rescheduled team kept me informed. Actual installation was completed in just 3 hours, a special thanks to Andy & John. Thanks again to all team. Only slight negative observation was that mobile app only shows energy flow from solar panels not from the grid but not a major issue.
The whole experience with Contact Solar was easy and turned out cheaper than competitors even with them using superior equipment. From start to finish was two weeks the fitters took just over one day to fit the 18 panels and bird netting, as long as we kept the coffee flowing they just kept going they left leaving the work area clean and tidy.
Contact Solar have provided me with 16 solar panels, an inverter and storage batteries. They arranged scaffolding to be erected and the installation started the same day. Despite the huge task, it was finished within 24 hours. The fitters were polite, considerate and very efficient. I would recommend this company (and the system) to everyone. Checks should be made initially on the roof angles and capacity for solar panels.
Once M & A arrived they started straight away working out how to overcome some difficuties on how to man handle the panels onto the roof. The installation of the electrics was done within an hour and the roofing element over the following 2.5 hours. Final commissioning was very quick around 15 mins. All done professionally within 4 hours, all rubbish cleared and site left clean and tidy. Excellent service!
Ordering, Survey and Installation all booked very easily. 14 panel installation with inverter and 2 batteries. The installation took much less time than I expected and the installation guys, the three J's, managed to work round my 8 cats with no problem. They were also great at answering any questions I had as well. Very happy, would definitely recommend Contact-Solar
The Morecambe Constitutional Club Committee, have no hesitation in recommending Contact Solar Ltd, their work on connecting Solar System to our electric meters was first class, very efficient and tidy job, well done
If you are thinking of installing solar panels give these people a call, from start to finish they have been amazing. The guys doing the quotes, I had James, was first class very knowledgeable and forth coming with advice and not at all pushy. Then the guys that have done my install were very efficient and very good at their job. I would definitely recommend this firm to any of my friends and family.
1st class service, I had been considering getting solar for a while and contacted Contact Solar. They weren't like the other companies I contacted which were pushy and insisting that I signed up there and then (and more expensive). Once I had accepted their quote (12 panels and 4.8kw battery it is was installed within 2 weeks, looks great, installers were friendly considerate and knew their stuff. Best of all we are already getting the benefits.
Great service from sales all the way to job installation and after sales service.
Contact Solar have been very quick to supply batteries to go with my solar panels. They have been very efficient and I am delighted with the quality of the batteries and control system. The installers were very polite quick and clean. I am very pleased.
Ordered a 18 panel system with 4kw battery to be installed in my new house. The house purchase was very slow taking 4 months and solar still honored their origional price!! Installation was today and the two guys did and amazing job, very professional. GREAT WORK!
I decided I would like to have a solar energy system fitted to our house. I contacted three companies for a quote and decided to go with Contact Solar because they gave me the best price and were very helpful. My first contact with the company was through Dominic who took me through the process and was always available to answer any queries I had .I was very impressed that they could offer me an installation within a couple of weeks and were not expecting an upfront deposit. My installation was postponed for a day but I was kept informed. The team Alex and John were very conscientious and worked non stop. Alex explained from start to finish what they were doing .They were very polite and cleared up at the end of the job. I am so far very pleased and would definitely recommend the company .
thanks for a great job. only 3 weeks from start to finish. now the savings start to make a difference. thanks again
No issues, system fitted 21 sept 2021 so it’s new system looks to be all professionally fitted hopefully years of hassle free energy 👍🏽.
This was a second system fitted by Contact Solar. We had 8 panels fitted 5 years ago which have preformed exactly as forecast. They do not send sales people round so no hard sell but use Google to check you roof orientation and size and discus over the phone your requirements. We were happy to go with them again to add more panels and battery storage which were again fitted efficiently in one day. Highly recommended
A Very Good Experience. A very efficient process using quality materials and high class installation. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Happy to recommend Contact Solar
Excellent service, smooth sales and installation process. Trusted installer!
Helpful throughout the process. Good company who respond quick and are thorough
Perfect service, perfect system. Correct price. I need nothing more...
Before actually committing to purchase from Contact Solar I did a lot of research about Solar panels with different companies, some were major some were small companies. Most weren’t even bothered to get back to me. Every time I telephoned Contact Solar my call was always answered immediately by geoff or one of his team which in today’s world is impressive, who were very informative about the products they would supply. On the day of installation the team were very polite and got on with the job. Very impressed with the whole experience and will certainly recommend.
A great experience from start to finish. I was recommended to Contact Solar by a friend and have not been disappointed. Great contact from Domenic about the quote and from Carley about the job itself. The two guys who did the installation Matt and Alan worked really hard all day and installed 18 panels plus all the electrics etc by 5pm. It's the sort of service you always hope for but don't often get.
After a Google search I had 4 quotes of which Contact Solar was one. Contact Solar had the best price and were not pushy at all. I dealt with Geoff who was more than happy to support and explain the process and breakdown of the installation and timescales. Every question asked either by phone or email was quickly answered. From confirming the booking to fully installed was just over 2 weeks. I've only given 4 stars as the installers weren't very tidy and left me with dust, empty bags, cable ties and cut cable ends on the floor inside and out. Otherwise really pleased with the service, support and speed of installation from the point of making the booking.
Our journey with Contact Solar was impressive from start to finish. There was frequent contact and updating as well as adjustment to our quote as necessary. The installation team were equally as good at keeping us informed as work progressed. The final job looks great both outside as well as a very neat installation inside. A great team effort all round and we are very delighted.
From the initial quote through to installation all the staff have been great and really helpful. The installation only took a few hours, happened a day early and everything worked straight away. Very glad we went with Contact Solar and would definitely recommend them.
Fantastic communication with the team, lots of info to make an informed decision for our needs. On the installation day the installers were very professional and very little mess.
Having ordered a 13 panel PV array and a 4.8 kWh battery set up the installation the installation process was excellent. Matt and Alan, the installers were quick, efficient and very helpful. 😀😀
Great service from the outset, from the initial call to the survey, everyone we dealt with was super helpful and knowledgeable. The installation itself was completed within a day, and the team kept us informed with what they were doing. The system currently performs as expected. Thanks.
I have been very pleased and impressed with the service provided by Contact Solar. My original request was dealt with professionally, answering my many queries before I made a decision what company to choose. The survey, installation and commissioning were carried out at the times and dates specified. My system is now performing exactly as stated and with a couple of queries I made after installation that I found difficult to understand, I received a call from Becky who explained what I needed to do in order to fully understand. I could not have been happier with the sales, installation and the after sales service. Thank you Contact Solar.
Early days yet, but all done as said. Good communications, fast install, no hassle and only paid after it was all done.. Recommended!
A very satisfactory assessment process and a highly competitive price lead to a thoroughly professional installation of a 4KW system.
Good workmen, no pressure to buy products, aftercare are responsive to your questions
The Puddle Project is an ecological site in Warrington which was created to support the local SEND community and those with complex needs. After literally years of trying to understand and navigate the complexities of solar power - the fantastic team at Contact Solar made it look so simple. We cannot express how much their work and professionalism will help to enrich and support people's lives. Stand up and take a bow everyone at Contact Solar your expertise has helped us to deliver the first SEND facility powered on 100% renewable energy! PS - if I don't give a special mention to the awesome install team (Andy, Jono & Jack) they might come back just to finish off the biscuits - cheers lads, it was truly a pleasure working with you 👏
Although Contact Solar don't send round sales representatives, I found their no hard sell approach reassuring and, having done a lot of research and asking them tons of questions (!), I went ahead with a large system which included battery back up It was a big installation and the installers took the time to make sure they did the job right and cleaned up well afterwards A very professional job and so far so good since it went in a few days ago
We had a solar and battery storage system installed today by Contact Solar. Can't comment yet on how the system works but communication with the office staff has been good and the installers arrived on time and have done a very neat job. So far, so good.
First contact with the company was good. No visiting reps, no sales spiel … just good and thorough discussion of our needs, with an honest description of what they have on offer. Immediate price quote and no deposit asked for. A short time later, arranged a survey to confirm roof strength, position of solar panels and location of inverter and batteries. The work was scheduled for three weeks from survey. On the day, two lads arrived, on time, rolled up their sleeves and just got on with the installation. They were personable, offered clear explanations as to what was happening; their workmanship was clean, neat and totally professional. The setting up and training of how to use of the control “App” was also well done. This new technology makes a complex system easy to understand and monitor. Total time for installing and commissioning 12 panels was about three and a half hours. Excellent!! About ten minutes after departure, we were surprised to see them back! They had been checking our system, on-line, discovered a fault had occurred and returned to rectify. This was quickly resolved. Very pleased with the whole experience.
Excellent service, competitive quote and excellent service. Installation went without any hiccups and professionally installed, no mess and professional intro to the system.
This company cannot be recommended highly enough .The whole process was fast ,easy and very competently carried out .The fitters were very quick , clean and patient with the many questions I had .All in all a very pleasant experience. Positively 100% satisfied with everything.
Excellent company no sales people and very helpfully. Love the black color of the panels much better than the blue ones i have seen.
Very good and informative, very clean and tidy during work and no mess left after.
Thank you Contact Solar. Your no pressure sales approach was very much appreciated. Your installers were efficient and helpful a credit to your company .
What an excellent Company with superb service from all sides of the business - sales, service, technical and back office people all working in harmony - they provided fast and efficient responses from quote stage to installation and were responsive to questions and requests, gave a great price, and a well fitted installation with their technical engineer Matt being an outstanding star, and I'd recommend them to anybody. 5 stars well deserved - thank you Contact Solar - from David
Really pleased with every aspect of our installation. The office team were very helpful and the fitting team did did a really tidy job for us. I would recommend Contact Solar to anyone.
Matt your installer was most helpful goi g above and beyond what I expected. He was quick a d efficient explaining all to me. Heaven is missing an ang6 as he is working for Contact Solar
Fantastic company from my first contact with them right through to installation.The 3 installers were excellent explained everything to me and all went well. 100% recommendation.
Very pleased with the service delivered by Solar Contact throughout the whole project. James was very helpful in sales. The project was masterfully executed by Mat. Strongly recommended. Thanks Contact Solar.
Thank you contact solar for all your help and can we say the three Installers were brilliant, punctual, efficient so helpful, I had a hospital appointment and we left them to get on and never had any doubts about leaving them. Brilliant company a nd staff. Thank you
Fantastic Company! -Thanks to the installers Johno, Andy and Jack the instalation went without a hitch. 100% recomended!
We have been delighted with all aspects of our dealings with Contact Solar, from Dominic and Rebecca through to Andy the electrician and his colleagues in the installation team, all were most informative and professional in their approach. I can honestly recommend the services of Contact Solar.
We’d definitely recommend Contract Solar. We’re moving into another property shortly and Becky has been so helpful with arranging scaffolding, and fitting, to fit in with our existing plans. The fitters were friendly and just got onto the installation and cleared everything away. From start to finish we felt in safe and competent hands.
I only leave my reviews after atleast a month so I can rate the after care. What an aftercare team these guys have. Cannot believe how well looked after I have been. Any questions have been answered. The ladies here are well and truly amazing.
So happy I chose contact solar. I would rate ten stars if I could. Great service from start to finish. Even now, months after the install, any questions I do find myself with always get answered. You cannot beat this service.
We were first attracted to Contact Solar by their very reasonable prices, but we did wonder whether the projected savings were perhaps a bit of market overreach. But we went ahead and after only a day and a half had an array of 18 panels installed. The whole operation was faultless - we just sat back and let it happen. The app to monitor power generation and flow worked perfectly and we soon saw how to adjust our usage to make maximum use of the panels and batteries. The output from the panels was almost exactly as projected - and it is still only March! Most of the time, even on a cloudy day, we are able to be off-grid. Throughout Contact Solar have been 100% helpful and accurate in their sales pitch. We are really happy with the result.
Absolutely no hard selling from start to finish. 5kw (13 panels) with 4.8kw battery fitted, all items individually highly rated no cheap parts. Optimisers were advised but not pushed to buy... optimisers installed at extra cost but this was down to potential shadows from tress, these optimiser will ensure maximum efficiency and individualise each panel. (worth a read up /optimisers) From start to finish completed installed within 2 weeks. The fitters took time to explain and we’re good lads.
From inquiry to install all went smoothly. Great communication. Was kept informed of the process step by step. Would definitely recommend.
Almost 4 weeks after initial install, which we were told would be sorted within 2 to 3 hours, and still don't have a working system, batteries are lying on the floor in my front entrance, wires hanging from system, not connected. First delay was due to them not having brackets to hold the batteries, which I had been charged an extra £99.00 for. Team has returned once 2 weeks later, but were still unable to complete. A further 2 weeks later, despite several emails and calls, no one returns my communications. Rather disturbing. Friendly install team, worrying management. I think they prioritize larger installations over domestic. Sadly having to initiate legal proceedings to simply have a small job completed, which has cost me more in the long run.
Great price, no silly salesmen taking up hrs of your time & driving up the price. The calculations explained clearly so I could see how much return I would get on my investment in solar panel with a battery & Octopus linked inverter. I have phones & emailed to asked so many questions I am surprised they are not sick of me. They always answer the phone promptly.
These guys have been a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their salesman Dominic knew his stuff and was happy to spend time discussing different solutions and price-points. At the time time, I didn't feel like I was placed under undue pressure - which does seem to be a problem with some of the competitors. Once I'd made a decision, their team was able to complete the installation remarkably quickly - all sorted within a fortnight from signing the contract. Nonetheless, the quality of the installation was solid and their installers were full of helpful advice on how best to use the panels. There were a couple of bumps along the way - they hired a scaffolder who didn't turn up, a couple of bits of documentation weren't sent over, and there was a minor snag that required the electrician to come back. However, their office were always quick to answer the phone, and at all times it really felt like they wanted to do the right thing and get things put right. Overall, a really friendly team that really do seem to care
Just installed very polite team and worked hard. No pressure sales no gimmicks and no deposit. Very responsive and quick to follow up will recommend
Did a little shopping around, as there're quite a few solar companies out there. I'm so pleased to say I've picked the right one. No pushed sales, answered all my questions and clearly explained things I never even knew. The installation was quick, tidy and in these difficult times, PPE was a must and they did provided that. Thank you for such an excellent standard and service. Andy & Lynn W.Sussex
Great service from start to finish, great price and very helpful staff 👍
Good price, good communications, good workmanship, office & installers were polite and helpful, so fare all working as should.
Contact Solar were great from start to finish. Of the three formal quotes I received, theirs was the most competitive but they were also quick, helpful and efficient throughout, from my initial enquiry, through the quotation process, the site survey and the installation. Everyone was knowledgeable and helpful at every stage and I will recommend them to any friends and family who are considering a solar installation.
The process of commissioning my Solar PV System from Contact Solar from start to finish has been totally seamless. At all stages communication from initial contact, survey and ultimately the fitting of my PV system has exceeded all my expectations. I have no hesitation in recommending Contact Solar if you’re considering a domestic Solar PV system for your home.
Outstanding. Quick response and installation in a remote part of the UK within two weeks of making the initial enquiry. On the day, the team arrived before I got the kids to school and all was installed with no fuss by mid afternoon. Thoroughly pleasant and professional installation team. Excellent after sales service and support. No payment requested until the system was installed and clearly working well. I cannot fault this company.
You know I was somewhat sceptical because the price was so good, the sales so friendly, and the timeline so quick. But really Contact delivered on all fronts. Sales: very friendly, not pushy, gave me time, explained the options, and ultimately did what we wanted. Survey: Friendly quick and flexible. Installation: prompt, tidy, competent. Two separate teams one for installing the panels, and the electrical team came one after another and gave me the choice of where to take the cabling and did a great job. I'm a very happy customer and can't fault anything, so 5*. The fact it was about half the price of the competition made it all the better.
Gent I spoke to today was very friendly, sounds like a good place
Had my solar panels installed on 31st October 2019 3.25kw with battery storage 4.8kw worked well from the start no problems yearly EST 2.870kw has actually produced 2.790.8kw not bad at all would recommend this company for your solar needs good price and quality Derek jones
had contact solar install my solar panels they did it in quick time and polite at all times during the quote and the installation procedure and i would be happy to recomened them to any one
Great customer service, professional, knowledgeable staff who really go the extra mile for you. I’d thoroughly recommend these guys, A real pleasure to do business with.
Fantastic company, could not have done a better job! Fitters were brilliant as well. The whole process was smooth and all my questions were answered quickly. I would highly recommend contact solar. Thanks again
I decided to get my solar panels installed with Contact Solar after getting quotes from other companies and they are by far the best company out of the bunch. They have been friendly and helpful from the very start of enquiring. Nothing is too much trouble and very smooth service, not being passed from pillar to post like others. On installation, even the roofers and electricians were just like the office, super friendly and no troubles. Quick and efficient work. I would certainly recommend this company to others, definitely the best in the UK.
Great service by all the team at Contact Solar from initial contact and quote to installation. I will be recommending them to anyone who asks me regarding solar PV installation. Thankyou.
A pleasure to do business with from beginning to end. A clear quote, an all in price with no extras, no hard sell, everything explained, a very professional installation and no payment whatso ever until all was in place.
Contact Solar is a friendly and professional company: no pushy sales people! They do a lot of installations, so it has clearly become quite a slick, well organised process. Materials (panels, inverter, battery etc) seem to be of a high standard. Competitively priced. Neat app to see what a difference you are making to the world through your own power! Thanks for a job well done.
Fantastic Company from start to finish no pushy sales team and eleven solar panels and batteries all fitted in one day. I thoroughly recommend Contact Solar what a great fitting team the best I have ever had working for me.
It's early days yet but so far it has been a pleasure dealing with this company. Everything was patiently explained and many questions answered over email and on the phone. Installers turned up on time, were very efficient, polite and left everything clean and tidy. No payment upfront was required. I highly recommend this company.
The whole experience with Contact Solar has been an excellent stress-free experience. Dave and Dave the two engineers arrived on date and time, they were excellent, very professional, and polite. They fitted the panels and batteries within 5 hours and even had their own vacuum cleaner. There was no sales pressure beforehand and no upfront charges. I can absolutely recommend this company.
hi james even though i had not used your service because i went with nebourers but i will still like to recomend you as very fast action on quote and your politness i would recomend you to any one next time sadha singh
Very happy with the install, lots of communication for ease and understanding, we had a slight issue with the wireless dongle but it has been promptly sorted, also very good price and advice and everything was installed very neatly.
Excellent service and at a very competitive price. Communication with the staff at Contact Solar and the engineer was very good with no wait times when contacting by phone, and also they are very swift to respond by email. Highly recommended
Easy process from start to finish. Great price. No fuss installation done efficiently. Good company to deal with. 👍
A very proficient job of installing panels and equipment unfortunate we had to wait so long due to covad19 so we have missed most of the summer but all is working well lots of sun this last week or so.I would have liked a guide to inverter information and other information but so far very happy with all aspects of the job
Great price and wonderful service from start to finish. The whole team at Contact-Solar were brilliant from fitting the system to when I needed to ask questions a few weeks later. Would highly recommend them.
Thanks to Contact Solar. Easy to deal with from the start. Updated quotation to meet my requirements quickly and without fuss. Installers were excellent. When they first came to install panels they spotted some issues with roof tiles. While many installers would simply have fitted panels and left, the Contact Solar installers explained the issues, postponed the install and returned the following week to complete the installation. This involved an extra visit and extra work for the installers but Contact Solar honoured the original price quoted. Would recommend to anyone.
The guys at Contact Solar provided an excellent profession service from start to completion of installation. They offered good advise and the site team were both very polite and curtious. I would recommend this company for both price and service.
The process was seem less from start to finish. The quote came quickly and was very reasonable. The survey then was done quickly and everything explained from the installation to the payment and how it all works. Installation was amazing with two great guys who did everything brilliantly. Thank you contact solar.
I tried a few different companies for different quotes before settling for solar direct, their sales presentation was very good with no hard sell, and the price was comparable with most others. It was installed from start to finish in about 6 hours by a team of two lads who were pleasant and unobtrusive, they did a nice tidy job and explained everything to me. It's early days yet but I'm really happy with it.
Have waited a while in reviewing as I needed to understand the system myself. The installation was totally painless and remarkably quick. Even with COVID restriction. The lads were professional, polite and cleared everything up. Explained the workings of the installation and the monitoring app. So far the system is doing everything expected of it and we are virtually self sufficient for electricity. The office support team have answered all questions and queries that I have thrown at them and continue to help me still. There was a little confusion over the need for a smart meter and the answer is yes if you want paying for any energy surplus. One thing the company could do is offer a check list of what needs doing to apply for the new feed in tariff. I would have no reservation in recommending the company to anyone.
My solar panels were fitted and connected up in under three hours.The installers were very helpful answering all questions etc. They left the area clean and tidy and were a friendly trio all working together to complete the job. I would recommend this company without reservation.
Great product and installation - waiting for a nice sunny day now to see what peak power is like! Installers were polite and professional and kept me informed at all times. Top job!
Great solar installation by Contact Solar. Every stage was simple & true. Turned up on the day that was arranged. Very helpful staff, smooth install which was up & running in 5 hours. No money taken until satisfactory installation completed. I would happily recommend this company to anyone. First class.
Excellent service from start to finish. Initial consultation was clear and the installation very quick and efficient. Minimum fuss and all set up and running within 4.5 hours. Excellent. Cannot recommend this company enough. Thank you.
Superb service! Highly recommended!
Great install by Mike and Dan, in our "somewhat difficult older house" all instaled equipment works as should. Excellent office support from Adam, James and Carley. EWould be happy to recommend
Very efficient company and I would highly recommend. Prompt service and everything happened as promised. Solar engineer friendly, hard working and extremely helpful. Couldn’t be happier!
Solar Panel were arranged and installed Very Neatly and working within six hours. I am proud and recommend contact james@contact-solar.co.uk for a very reasonable Quote
Brilliant company to work with. Really happy with my installation
I have no words other than wow. What an amazing company to work with. Every part of the process was simple and hassle free. Amazing
Very straight forward to deal with no pressure selling. Installation went fine and system up and running. Payment not taken or asked for till all complete. which is a bonus these days
All our properties have now been upgraded to have solar panels. Contact Solar has been our provider for the last 3 jobs as all have gone well in both the fitting and the after details to get connections etc.
Adam contacted me after I posted a request for information on solar panels He was very precise in his explanation and gave me confidence in the company. He wasn’t the cheapest but he was professional and I felt would do what he said. Once we had confirmed a price he gave an installation date and time. The engineers appeared on time were very professional and did a very tidy job.Within 6 hours the system was up and running. What more can you ask for. Adam has contacted me subsequently to ensure I was ok with the system and understood the data that the app produces. I feel confident that if I need any more information I could contact him and he would be able to assist
I had a specific requirements for adding panels to my property. Supply security Of supply and reducing cost wEre my main drivers. I am an engineer and looked into a large number of companies who supply this type of equipment and scored them as part of my assessment process. I also looked at various equipment suppliers to make sure I would get reliable equipment. Contact-Solar scored high as they have the experience and resources to supply what I was after. From the initial contact with them till after installation and on going, I found them to be :- Very professional in their approach. Easy to speak too Very understanding on your specific requirement. Very keen with their pricing. Installation was done very professionally. I got my installation done during restrictions fo Covid - 19 As the installation was on a separate building, Dave and his team installing the system followed and all restrictions to ensure compliance with. The installation went without any problems and was done to exactly what I required. Since the installation we have had no problems and had power supplied to our house reducing our electricity bill to near zero. The main savings we will make will be after my therapy pool is installed later on in the month. I have already recommended Contact-Solar to some of my friends and will be recommending them to anyone who asks me about the panels.
Adam and the team were excellent and very helpful. Their great advice made us feel very confident in going ahead with them and the installation. All the help and the installation of the solar panels was very professional. Thank you all, very happy with everything. Highly recommend
Speedy and professional service from start to finish. Would highly recommend to anyone. Hard working guys and very helpful.
Excellent service and value for money. I couldnt ask for a more efficient and reliable process from initial enquiry to final installation. Thanks guys for such a great job i would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone. Topjob!
Ordered from Solar, an absolute wonderful experience from start to finish. Staff were very helpful and knowledgeable with my requirements. Thank you for making it all happen. Highly recommended
Installed very prompt within the day. I have had no problems since it was installed, would recommend this company if you are thinking of having solar paneling installed.
Hi, I Would just like to say a big thank you to all at Contact Solar. From start to finish everything has been professional from my initial enquiry, the full installation and the after care has been nothing short of 5 stars. Greatly appreciate everything you have done. I would recommend your company to anyone who was considering a solar panel and battery installation. Keep up the good work! Thank you Adele McCrory
Started off looking at Project Solar (high pressured sales) and E-On (high priced product), but very glad I came across Contact Solar. E-On had attractive credit terms (0%), but the cost saving that Contact Solar offered, and three stage payment terms offered affordability and security. There are plenty of low interest unsecured loans out there that will allow you to spread the payments, and the overall spend including interest will come in way under E-On. The final stage payment is due after they send the paperwork out to register for an export tariff, which is reassuring Really responsive office based team and excellent installers. I couldn't believe how quickly they dealt with the process. Answering all my questions comprehensively and promptly. Only slight hiccups have been... 1. the number of panels quoted for on from the desktop study didn't fit our roof in the originally spec'd arrangement, but they worked it out on site and included the required optimizers for the amended installation of the original number of panels, within the quoted price. Took a couple of hours to resolve on day one, so the install team had to come back for an hour the next day, but they were more than welcome back. A desktop study was always subject to final site survey, but the cost saving in not having a pushy salesman in my kitchen upfront (Project Solar) was worth the the slight delay on the installation. 2. the wrong dongle was sent out, for use with the monitoring app, but they are posting this out to us... regardless, I can already see the benefit of the set up on a cloudy day via my smart meter. Both these issues were dealt with promptly, politely and professionally. Very happy to recommend Contact Solar.
I cant speak highly enough of this company. -from the staff adam, james, tony, becky, and carly.not forgetting the fitters mike and danny very pleasant and helpful. fabulous service from start to finish.no pressure no deposit doesn't get better than that thank you all so much from elaine and robert.
Adam and the team were great and very patient when we were exploring the various options out there for the installation of solar panels. There great advice made us feel confident in going ahead with them and the installation and all the help was very professional. Thank you all, we are very happy!! Leanne & Ray Harris
This company are as good as the reviews say they are. The onsite team were excellent, they explained what they were doing. Both members of the team were qualified electricians. I had to move some stuff in the garage to fit the inverter and batteries, they offered to help. The full installation took about 5 hours.
From start to finish 1 can highly recommend this company They explained all options to me which made it easy to make an informed choice There was no bard sell at all I was sold the very latest equipment at a very competitive price There was no pressure at all to have the kit fitted but when was ready the speed and efficiency was impressive The 2 man team arrived later than planned due to an accident on the motorway but kept me updated by phone Despite late start they were done and dusted within 5 hours 16 panels plus battery back up in that timescale Pretty good going All in all I am one satisfied customer
The guys from contact solar had everything installed and setup in half a day. They did an excellent job and I am more than happy with the installation. I have already recommended them to a couple of neighbours :)
Contact Solar were great value and the panels have produced just as much energy as Contact estimated when they first visited and gave their estimate. We're really happy with the install, so thanks to Adam and the team.
I would like to thank Adam and his team at Contact Solar for an excellent service from start to finish. I was helped through the process questions were answered, my budget was modest and meet, and the two lads that installed were very Proffessional, I can highly recommend Contact Solar
Amazing very good system with battery and top of the range system , fitted without any problems by a very knowledgable specialist, they managed to squeeze in 12 panels when other companies said only 9 . I couldn’t recommend them enough they are in my opinion the best
Guys in the office are really knowledgable, and honest. From the moment of placing the order to installation, it was turned over very quickly and efficiently. Very pleased.
From start to finish Adam, Tony and Mat have been there to answer all my questions about solar and battery storage. I found this company on facebook and sent out to 2 other companies too. Contact Solar were the first to respond and also the most knowledgeable. Adam got the quotes together quickly and checked I had recieved them. He let me think and didn't hound for the business. Once passed to installation Tony was swift to call and arrange his guy to come do the survey. Mat was here saturday and said that he could come back and install Saturday, which turned into the day before, as he had diary change. Mat was here at 08:30 as promised and has just left us today at 3pm with a full installation and full details of how it works. All in all a great service from inception to completion, less that 2 weeks.Thank you all. Would not hesitate to recommend or use you again in the future.
thanks to all at Contact Solar for a nicely specified system at a realistic price. Despite a hiccup with fitting of the solar panels and the terrible weather during February I was kept informed of when the work would be undertaken. Now the system is fully functional I am looking forward to seeing how the system works in real time. Both the installers and the office are easy to talk to and seem well informed which makes Contact Solar an easy company to work with. Tx Eddie
Good service. One day to erect the scaffolding. Next day installed panels, inverter and battery pack. Not bad pricing and not much pushy sales work. Will be interesting to see how well the JA Solar black panels function in UK winter and how the Lux inverter performs. Good to be doing a bit to help CO2 reduction. Goes well with the LEAF.
Smooth, speedy, and efficient process. The guys on the phone, the surveyor who came and had a look, and the installers were all polite and professional. No hard sell at all. They didn't want a penny until the job was done to my satisfaction. 10x 340W panels installed yesterday (25th Feb). I checked the app this morning when the sun was out and it showed 3306W being generated, not bad for February.
Excellent service...so happy with the solar panels...
Ist class from beginning to end system working perfectly
The great communication from the people at Conract Solar was the reason I chose them to install my system. They were very quick to get me a quote, and arrange a site visit. We had to change visit dates due to my work and they were flexible and accomodating. The site visit was good and installation was arranged quickly. On the day the engineers were fast, friendly and did a great job. I'm very happy with every aspect of this transaction and thoroughly recommend them.
Good friendly service from start to finish
Very happy with contact Solar adam and the team was very helpful good service and great price would definitely recommend contact solar
Fast, friendly and efficient. Would recommend.
Nothing but praise for Contact Solar. Easy to do business with, and good communication. Arrived on time on the day of installation (8am) and straight into it. Very nice, polite, hard-working chaps who did the job with zero issues. Finished on time and excellent handover, including getting the app working on our phones.
First class many thanks to all the team at Contact Solar, many thanks Frank
I would to thanks all the guys & girls for all their help, particularly on what type & size of panels & batteries to have installed. Everything was very easy from start to finish. Mike and Dan did a very neat and professional job on the installation, and we only had to wait around 10 days from agreeing the scope to having it all installed and working. Carley has been particularly helpful on the followup bits and pieces and the documentation. Thank you all for making this stress free.
Very good. Installed well and cleaned up afterwards.
Excellent customer service. Very fast and helpful staff over the phone. The fitting team was also fast and done a excellent job 👍 👌🏼
From the moment we inquired, Contact Solar was very fast, professional and knowledgeable. Installation was done efficiently and very tidy, no hassle. I definitely recommend Contact Solar to anybody.
Fantastic and professional service from initial point of contact to completion of installation. Highly recommended.
Can highly recoomend Contact Solar. There was no pressure to buy at all and everyone who was involved with my installation from start to finish were professional and very helpful. The products supplied are very good quaility and installation was process was well executed , with no mess or disturbance at all. Overall I'm very happy and would recommend them if you want to install a solar system. Great work Contact Solar !
I just want to thank Tony, James & Adam for all their help with deciding on what type & size of solar panels & batteries to have installed at an affordable price. Everything was plain English, no jargon, and from start to finish the process was easy and simple. A very neat and professional job done by Phil & Dan. Thank you all for making this a stress free process. I will certainly be recommending these guys to all and for future upgrade my system. Keep up the great work.
Very happy with our solar panels, and whilst we did have an issue post-installation, it was handled promptly and very much to our satisfaction. Often, it isn't about whether or not there are issues because there often are in any transaction, but what's important is how it's handled, and Adam and his team did a great job. Recommended.
Good people to deal with good value Would recommend
"From making inquiries to the installation contact solar were more than helpful"
Very efficient and rapid process from initial quotation, to site survey and installation. I would recommend this company to anybody interested in fitting solar panels and/or battery storage.
I read the saving numbers initially with some scepticism however I now realise they were correct. I am more than happy with my installation. Contact Solar are attentive and answer all questions. The installers were brilliant and did a neat and professional job. I am recommending Contact Solar to any friend interested in generating their own electricity. I am currently running my electric car using a zappi charger so have also dramatically reduced my motoring costs as well as my domestic supply. Thank you all of the team at Contact Solar.
Fantastic job carried out by great fitters who filled me with confidence in everything they did. The job was carried out quickly and profesionally with a great neat installation at the end. These guys were a credit to Solar Control, I would recommend the company and the fitters to anyone who is looking to have a Solar System fitted on their property. Thanks very much for a great job all around. Steve.
Best price, efficient installation in one day, and excellent afterservice, couldn't be more helpful
Would highly recommend Contact Solar. No pressure at any time and very quick installation once I confirmed the order. Totally professional, all prices and installation times honoured. Friendly Staff from admin to installers, clean work area after work completed. I had a 4kwh PV system installed in 2015 and in 2019 a battery storage system installed. Prices both times were very competitive and no issues of any kind experienced with installation or quality of components.
Contact Solar was recommended onto us. Quote very good, price adjusted down on site survey to save us a bit of money. Installation team of scaffolders, electrician and panel installers all very tidy and professional. All forms provided and any info we have needed has been given to us by return. We are more than happy to recommend on..
After shopping around contact solar provided the best price and with better panels than some of the lower priced companies. They worked quickly and panels were fitted within the week with no problems. They work well and we had no hard sell or badgering after the initial quote. Would recommend.
Great price, team efficient and professional
Great quick and very efficient service. Thank you
We contracted them to install a 4kw solar pv system in late October 2018. The communication and handover was all so poor and unprofessional. Simple matters were poorly explained making it all more confusing than it needed to be. They use subcontractors to do the job, and even then, both parties were not on the same page as to what would be best for the consumer. It has been 6 weeks and numerous reminder emails since the installation and payments were completed, before receiving the portal monitoring device for our solar system. We have virtually been left to figure out how to apply for the feed-in tariffs and install the monitoring system ourselves. I would not recommend these guys.
Communication was good enough, paperwork came in after installation which seemed strange. Installation itself was quick and efficient (after an initial error of delivering the wrong panels, though this was quickly rectified with many apologies). Amendments made easily when we realised another panel would work well. It's great cutting out the middle man and, as a result, getting a better price for an equivalent product. Fuss free, straight talking, no pressure. Would recommend.
We got in touch with three different companies including Contact Solar to get an estimate of how much it would cost to install. Contact Solar offered the best price and don't take a deposit up front. No pushy salesperson on commission, you deal directly with the management. Tony came out and did an on-site inspection following us verbally agreeing to go ahead with the quote. After a couple of phone calls, the fitting was booked and they started at 9am and we're off-site by 4pm, all finished and working. Both the electrician and solar panel fitter we're respectful, polite & professional throughout. Payment was after the job was completed and the paperwork and certificates followed the next day. Contact Solar are an honest family company whose word is their bond, and everything is done in good faith. If you're genuine about getting solar panels and not time waster's then you won't go wrong with this company. We're both teacher's and can't recommend them highly enough. Hope the sun shines bright and we can enjoy the the feed in tariff and free electricity!
Great company. Very helpful and explained everything clearly. Price was great
seaton sluice community centre are over the moon with the excellent service we have received and we are now trying to find further funds to buy more panels well done
Wonderful service with friendly helpful staff. I recommend!
Great staff, great service. Very very good price would highly recommend
Their product knowledge, service and experience far exceeds that of other providers I have been in contact with. Highly recommend them for their professional approach and pricings of installations!
Very professional throughout the planning, installation to commissioning of the Solar system. I was very impressed by how quickly they turned around from survey, quote and installation. Will 100% recommend!
I received a very professional and informative quote from Contact Solar during October 2016. At the time we decided that we could not afford it.. Between then and about two weeks ago the company did not put any pressure on us at all. We then decided to go ahead with the installation and here we are - job done and already generating our own electricity. The communication, advice and the installation itself have been fantastic. I can't thank all at Contact Solar enough so if you are considering Solar energy this could be the company for you.
The quotation and subsequent follow up visit provided all the information we needed to make a decision. The installation went to plan with minimal disruption and we were generating within minutes of the final connection. I found Contact Solar good to deal with and importantly, their price was right.
Had a great experience dealing with Contact Solar very professional with an east install, would certainly recommend.
Brilliant! Highly Recommend
Fantastic company - Fantastic service. Would highly recommend :)
Great company to deal with, friendly staff, fast and efficient service, could not recommend enough, thank you ⭐️
Would absolutely not recommend this company! I have received a "free no obligation quote for solar panels installation", to get an overall idea and possibly install those in my house. After taking a quick look at the "numbers", which i saw for the first time, i decided that it was not for me. I have called the phone number given to me of an engineer who was booked to come and give me a better idea and a "proper" quotation, and cancelled his visit. I have also asked him if i needed to make any further calls to confirm cancelation but he replied that it was to be done by him and I didn't need to anything. Few weeks later I have received a phone call from Contact Solar, as I heard the name of the company I mentioned I was not going to install the solar panels. The reply was : "But you have received the quotation. Thank you for wasting our time".
