Radiance Solar Ltd installs solar panels, batteries and other electrical work, and several reviewers describe a polite, tidy team who took care with the job. Ian, Luke and Alex are named by more than one reviewer as knowledgeable and helpful, answering questions during the work. Some reviewers report that a survey came before the installation, with detailed specifications put together and choices offered, and more than one says the work was completed on time. One reviewer's panels and battery have produced more electricity than expected and cut their bills a lot, while another says the real-time monitoring app is easy to use. One review says the price and service were excellent. One reviewer had an outside socket fitted and reported a prompt reply and visit, a competitive quote and top-notch work by Ian's colleague. One criticism was raised, with nothing else material reported.
We had a couple of small domestic installations completed and I can only say that the service and price were excellent. I am more than happy with how the job was completed and I would recommend this company to anyone.
From call to fix, Ian explained the breakdown of costs and what he anticipated the fix to be. The engineer who visited was fantastic - super thorough, gave me some options for my new extractor fan, sealed everything in - such a neat job. Genuinely impressed and will absolutely be using you and your team again - thank you!
Radiance Solar installed 20 solar panels and a 10kWh battery for us in March / April 2026. The professionalism of Ian, Luke and Alex was outstanding throughout the process; Ian did a thorough survey, ensured the proposed installation was suitable for our needs, and drew up 2 slightly different specifications for us to choose from. Luke and Alex did the installation work, making steady progress in such a way that we could see they were taking care to make sure everything was exactly right. They also fitted mesh to stop birds from nesting under the panels; this was included in the price, although not all installers do this. I think it’s a sign of the care taken that mesh was included as a normal feature to help protect the investment for the long-term, rather than being considered as an ‘extra’. There was also good aftercare to ensure the system was commissioned and working correctly, everything was explained, and all documents were sent in good order. We are heavy electricity users and we recently got our 2nd EV, and air conditioning + fans have been on daily for hours due to the heatwave, and the solar panels are helping massively. The screenshot shows only a small net import since April compared to our production and use, and the export of course helps to offset the cost of the installation in addition to the cost saving from using less power from the grid, and I mean a LOT less. For context about us using a lot of electricity, I just did a quick Google search which told me the average UK home uses between 2.5 and 2.9 MWh per year, and the screenshot shows we’ve used 2.1 MWh in just a few months - and all of it a lot cheaper due to the solar panels. Choosing Radiance Solar was 100% the right decision and I strongly recommend Ian, Luke and Alex if you’re thinking of making the switch to solar.
I’m writing this review following the successful completion of a solar installation at my property, consisting of 11 panels and 20kWh of battery storage. My journey began a couple of months ago while researching my requirements. I reached out to Ian, who visited my property, carried out a thorough inspection and took the time to carefully understand our needs. Shortly afterwards, he provided a very detailed and comprehensive specification. We refined this over a couple of iterations, as I decided to include additional battery storage and a system to divert excess electricity to heat our water. Once we signed up, the process moved quickly. Scaffolding was installed and Ian’s team, Luke and Alex, spent several days on site preparing the roof and installing the system. Both were tidy, hardworking and highly knowledgeable throughout. Ian remained available at all times and was actively involved, even spending a day helping to lift and secure the panels on the roof. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Ian and his team for solar installations or any kind of electrical work. We were consulted throughout, particularly on placement and any aspects that could affect the aesthetics of the property. The end result is first-class. As I write this, we’re enjoying the benefits of solar for the first time and I can honestly say that both the installation and the level of energy generation have exceeded our expectations. We’ve found a contractor who genuinely cares about the outcome as much as we do, if not more! Thank you, Ian, Luke, and Alex!
Excellent quality job with personable staff who completed the job quickly. I'd be pleased to recommend these guys who trade as Ian Legg Electrical.
We needed an outside electrical socket installed and I found Ian to be well recommended so I contacted him. He replied almost immediately, visited a few days later to quote and the job was done a week later. Quote was competitive and the work done by his colleague was top notch and very professional. I would definitely recommend the business and will use again if we have any other electrical work that needs doing.
Addition of 9.5kWh solar PV Battery to existing system Very prompt and efficient service. A visit by Luke, electrician, to check my existing installation within in hours of my enquiry! Prompt quote and an installation date set for less than two weeks later. Luke and Ian arrived on time and completed the installation and commissioning of the battery efficiently. Friendly, helpful pair. The new battery is up and running. I highly recommend this company.
We have just had Ian, and his team install 16 solar panels and a GivEnergy All-in-One battery system, this was installed very professional and in a timely manner, I am really pleased with both the service and the system installed. Ian, Luke and Alex were great people to have working at our house, pleasant and helpful answering all my questions on the systems knowledge, I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone else.
I cannot recommend Ian and team enough for the great job they did installing a GiveEnergy Battery system onto our existing system. They were on time, dealt with some issues left by previous array installers and stayed until the job was done and tested. Great team!
We have employed Radiance Solar on a number of occasions, for various works such as our kitchen, and garden lighting. Their service and quality of workmanship is always first class. For our EV car charger, Radiance Solar surveyed our home, discussed the most suitable charger unit and installation method for the cables etc. The finished installation is extremely neat and tidy.
I had my system designed and installed by these guys and absolutely the best very polite tidy and more importantly their work is 100%.well recommended. My solar is doing amazing better than I ever thought. Also the after care is great I can call them anytime for advice. Thank you guys. Mike
I recently had a solar PV system installed by Radiance Solar, and the experience has been excellent. The team was professional, arriving on time and completing the installation efficiently. They were respectful of my property, ensuring a clean and orderly process. The system has performed superbly, consistently generating electricity and significantly reducing my energy bills. The real-time monitoring app is user-friendly, allowing me to track the system's performance easily. Customer support has been fantastic providing clear guidance and promptly addressing any questions. The financial savings, combined with the environmental benefits, make this a highly worthwhile investment. I highly recommend Radiance Solar for anyone considering solar energy
