Eastbourne Energy Ltd

After looking at a number of solar power suppliers from various comparison sites, I searched locally and hit upon Eastbourne Energy. Their reviews were excellent and included top notch reviews from 2 acquaintances so I booked a meeting with Lee. His knowledge and professionalism was excellent and my quote arrived quickly. The figures all added up to my budget so I placed my order. The job was done by Lee's brother and team. Their professionalism and their work ethic was superb and I am now the proud owner of a fabulous solar power and battery system which is giving me a great deal of pleasure. The post installation tasks- supply of certificates, MPAN etc was all slickly managed and the online quotation process and technology was also slick and seamless. I would book them again in a heartbeat and totally recommend Eastbourne Energy. 👌

A BIG thank you to Lee and his team for all their hard work and care taken when installing our solar panel system particularly as ironically the weather wasn’t very helpful 🤣😎 We couldn’t fault the communication with Lee and with the team on site; they answered all our questions fully and nothing was too much trouble. The after care post installation was excellent including sorting out everything was working as efficiently as possible including the set up with our energy provider. We are very pleased we found this company who are true professionals and very competitive. We will definitely have no hesitation recommending Lee and his team to others. Hi Lee, we just wanted to add to our review above as we’ve been very impressed with how quickly you’ve continued to respond to our queries in relation to both the solar and the EV charger. Thank you for all your after sales support and knowledge and above all your patience with us in getting our heads around how all this works.

Eastbourne Energy have recently completed the installation of solar panels and a battery storage system to our property and I couldn’t be happier. The service from Lee & James was exceptional. There were no pushy sales tactics, in fact they even suggested I speak and obtain quotes from other installers. Any question I had was promptly and clearly answered with no jargon or fuss. The installers Josh and Matt couldn’t have been nicer to deal with. They were professional and courteous at all times. The same must be said for the electricians Shaun and Oscar who are also a credit to the company. The icing on the cake was when James drove for over an hour to help me with the set up process with my energy supplier. I would 100% recommend Eastbourne Energy to anyone considering solar installation. Well done guys.

So glad I used this company for my installation of solar panels, batteries, radiators and electrical works. The whole team were absolute professionals, from Lee’s advice in the first instance to his team carrying out the work, nothing was too much for them…. I highly recommend Eastbourne Energy

Absolutely a 1st class service from start to finish and a competitive price. 90% installed in 1 day with final connection the following. Tidy and thoughtful installation. All the guys were friendly and very capable. Received all the paperwork within a few days with certification and regulation all done. Had very little to do myself.

Really good advice. Much appreciated.

From the 1st contact by James, who isn't pushy or annoying! (Trust me others were..) He came to visit us took time to explain everything in layman's terms and even i understood him, everything he said can be checked out and his gentle kind demeanour made it so easy for us to say yes! The contact he made throughout the whole installation was absolutely spot on! Kept us informed as to what and when they were doing things. Day of installation.. Well..when the lads arrived they hit problems ( caused by our garden, NOT them) but they were quick to solve them and managed to do a 2 day install in a day! They worked hard and professionally, a pleasure to have around.. I cant really say anything more positive really, other than the whole process was professional and easy.. Thank you so much, a great family team, we have recommended them to other family and friends..

I couldn't be happier with the service I received. Lee was absolutely fantastic from the very beginning—friendly, professional, and always willing to answer my many questions, especially as I was replacing an older system. He made the whole process easy and stress-free, and it was clear he genuinely cared about making sure everything was done right and tailored to our needs. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and the attention to detail really stood out. It's not often you come across a company that takes such pride in what they do and treats their customers so well. The cable runs were particularly challenging, but the team handled them expertly. With a young family at home, they did everything they could to work around us, always treating our home with respect and leaving it exactly as they found it at the end of each day. A huge thank you to Lee and the entire team—James, Oscar, Matthew, Josh, Jordan, and Phil—who all worked tirelessly during the recent heatwave. Their hard work, professionalism, and dedication didn't go unnoticed, and the end result speaks for itself. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and high-quality service. Thank you all for a fantastic experience!

From the quote to the install. These guys have been fantastic. Guided me through the battery options and explained the processes of excess energy being fed back into the network. Install day was seamless with the electricians and solar fitters coordinating well. Nice clean job done. I’m not that confident with paperwork and apps, so James came over after the install. To get everything set up on my phone. Been offered help any time I need it. Great price- great team, thank you

6.0 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (1) Yes this is the first 6 star feedback for this fantastic company and they should be 10 out of 10. WOW what a great find they were in the first place. I had been considering Solar for a long time but had put it off but decided to take the plunge with Eastbourne Energy and the experience from start to finish (6 weeks) has been so smooth.I read the reviews and they sang nothing but praise.They made Lee the owner sound like a Saviour!. There was no doubt in my mind that this was the company to choose. James the surveyor arrived first and was very down to earth and obviously very knowledgeable of the product and suggesting what would be best for my situation. The tariff information provided was also provided looking into the future of the system. There was no pressure selling pitch from James just friendly advice to which myself and Lucky listened to intently. When James left my mind was made up and I started the ball rolling without hesitation and accepted an excellent quote and fully comprehensive proposal document. It was a pleasure on the day to invite the electricians Sean and James and the fitters, Josh and Matt into the house. There was also a visit from Lee (the Saint!) to ensure that all was running smoothly and he lives up to his nickname. What a real nice guy. The installation took all day and went into early evening I was not surprised when they carried on into the 'night' to finish the job as all of them are entirely dedicated to their work. The day after again Lee visited to make sure that all was all as we wished. My wife and I have spoken about the experience and it will be one that we will not forget. It was one of reassurance, confidence in Eastbourne Energy and a great investment into the future .They were all super friendly and its nice to know that they are all just down the road if needed. Lee and gang thanks from all of us here for a Job superbly done.

Lee and team were great from start to finish. The work was done in a timely manner. Everyone left the area clean and tidy afterwards.

Faultless and fantastic journey from start to finish. Lee and all his team were professional, polite and helpful to ensure that our slightly different installation worked from the off. Great communication, great specs and great price. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Eastbourne Energy.

Lee was knowledgeable, not too techy and answered all our questions honestly. The team were large - I had 5 vans on the drive the first day putting up 21 panels with their batteries. Smooth, seamless, considerate, jolly, sincere are the words I'd use to describe them. Lee is extremely responsive to messages- we had some notifications about the charge levels and he modified the settings whilst on hols!

Cannot rate Eastbourne Energy more highly. Lee, Phil and the rest of the crew were absolutely fantastic with the Solar install. Would definitely use them again.

These guys were great. Spent time explaining everything to us, and no hard sells, either. The crew was friendly and quiet, showed up on time, was very respectful of property, and were quick and efficient. Follow-up has also been excellent. Highly recommended.

If you are considering solar panels, I cannot recommend Eastbourne Energy highly enough. The process began with Lee coming round to handle the initial survey, and his thoroughness was immediately apparent. Far too many firms will just glance at your roof, tap away on a screen, and hand over a generic quote. Lee actually took the time to conduct a proper, rigorous assessment. He looked closely at the practicalities of the installation and paid genuine attention to the specific layout of the property. What really stood out was his straightforward approach. He laid out the options and offered his professional opinion, but then actively encouraged me to go away and do my own research. He clearly has an exceptionally good grasp of what can be done, what should be done, and the right way to go about it. Crucially, this never came across as arrogance; it was just him being completely fair to the customer. Zero pressure. Absolutely no rushed sales pitch. I will be the first to admit that I am a picky client. I like to thoroughly understand the technical details, so there was a definite discussion and a fair amount of back-and-forth before we agreed on the final setup. Interestingly, I already had my heart set on a particular brand but deliberately kept quiet about it. Following his assessment, Lee ended up recommending that exact brand anyway. When it came time for the actual installation, project management was handed over to Lee’s brother, Phil. He was on-site right from the start, taking charge of his team to ensure the solar system was installed exactly as planned. Phil managed the entire operation brilliantly. He made sure all the specific wiring—distinct from the main electrical work handled by the sparkies—was completed to an exacting standard. He is clearly cut from the same cloth as Lee, possessing an absolute wealth of practical experience. At one point, I flagged a minor technical concern based on something I had stumbled across online. Rather than dismissing it, Phil broke everything down for me. His explanation was clear, professional, and entirely devoid of jargon. That single interaction gave me even more confidence in the company. To their immense credit, the entire team handled my endless queries with complete patience. The sparkies were incredibly meticulous. I know that level of detail is easily brushed over in reviews, but it seriously makes a massive difference to the safety and standard of the final system. From start to finish, every single member of the team on site genuinely put my requests first. I never once felt like just a tick-box exercise. They gave me straight, honest answers rather than standard marketing waffle. To be clear, Eastbourne Energy were not the cheapest option out there. They were incredibly competitive, but my decision was never simply about price. It came down to their exceptional knowledge, their clarity, and their overriding professionalism. The customer service and diligent follow-up were quite literally ten times better than anything I have experienced from larger, faceless corporations. A superb firm that truly cares about the standard qof their work.

All aspects of the experience were excellent. Very happy to recommend this company and their excellent staff!

At every stage from initial discussions, to installation, to backup and the paperwork involved in FiT and export payments with British Gas and Octopus, Eastbourne Energy (Lee) exceeded expectations. I already had solar panels and I have upgraded to battery/solar. I am amazed at how far and fast this technology has progressed in 15 years, and what an amazingly no-brainer investment it is. I already have personally recommended Eastbourne Energy several times, and would go as far as to say that it is the best company I have dealt with in the last 20 years.

Eastbourne Energy were great right from the beginning. Very friendly coming out to quote us for a panels and battery set up. No problems getting us booked in and very efficient and tidy in the installation. The system has been great. Would highly recommend Lee, James and the team!

What can I say about Eastbourne Energy? Lee, James and the rest of the team are incredible at what they do. From designing the system, to installation nothing is too much hassle for them. They even installed 1 more solar panel than quoted because it was going to fit on the roof. The solar installation crew were quick, efficient and personable, the electricians were the same. At every point, I felt like I was being looked after. Now the system is up and running, Lee is proactive about letting me know when there are updates to my battery's software, and happy to help if things go wrong. I'd recommend them in a heart beat. They beat other companies quotes AND installed a better overall system for me.

Great company to deal with. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Couldn't do enough to complete the installation with care, set it all up and came back to assist with the paperwork with my energy company. We felt in safe hands and were very pleased with the final results and the quality of the work.

I went with Eastbourne Energy is because they are a family run business who are committed to providing a personal service. Their attention to detail for cable runs etc was exemplary. The whole installation was completed by lunchtime and commissioned that same afternoon. Thank you Eastbourne Energy team!

Excellent experience with Lee and his team. From the first visit there was no pushy sales talk, just straightforward and honest advice. The solar, battery, and car charger installation was completed to a really high standard and the whole job was neat and tidy. Great communication throughout and everything was explained clearly. Would happily recommend.

The panel installation was professional. All my questions answered. No hidden charges and definitely no regrets in using Eastbourne Energy to carry out this work.

They were extremely kind and knowledgeable. The work was carried out within the times they quoted. All was done with respect to our property and ourselves. Attention to detail throughout the process

Excellent company, great service and communication. Eastbourne Energy did a great job installing a 20-panel 9kW solar system on my old and tricky roof, and an ESS. The job was not a simple one but they persisted and I am very happy with the results. There were a few issues with the weather hence some slight delays, but this was communicated well. A couple of initial niggles with the battery storage system were soon rectified. I would very much recommend this company, they are timely, honest, communicative and did a high-quality job.

We recently had solar panels and a battery installed by Eastbourne Energy, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. Every member of the team—from the scaffolders to the electricians and fitters—was friendly, professional, and clearly committed to doing a high-quality job. A special mention goes to Lee, whose advice and support throughout the process were truly first class. He took the time to ensure we understood everything and went above and beyond to make sure we were getting the best possible solution. We couldn’t be happier with the service provided and would highly recommend them.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Lee and his efficient hard working team. Lee handled everything from the planning application, arranging the scaffolding and booking in the installation (which only took 1.5 days) to the certification and set up with the energy supplier. Lee was really helpful and happy to answer all of our questions, the whole process was seamless.

If you want solar panels, use Lee and his team. They provided a professional, friendly, tailor-made service. Lee has been extremely helpful and patient with any queries along the way. He deals with all the paperwork and keeps you updated as to the process. From start to finish I felt confident in the installation of the panels, inverter and battery and its registration and am very happy with the result.

Eastbourne Energy have been amazing. Lee helped us with an issue we have been having with our battery and inverter. After nearly 3 months of it not working and little help from GivEnergy to fix it, Lee sorted it out for us in about an hour. Lee is friendly, clearly knows his stuff and explained everything he was doing so we understood the issue and the solution. The service was quick, we had an appointment within a week of contacting Eastbourne Energy and then a return visit to make the fix. Great service from a local company that cared about the situation we had found ourselves in. Thank you Lee and Eastbourne Energy.

Had Solar fitted back in June 2024 Foxcloud updated their app and it was almost impossible fir me to manage the new app to set charging of battery. Phoned Lee today Sunday morning expecting to leave a message asking for help. He answered Immediately,sorted my problem and explained the working of the upgraded app. Fantastic after sales service. You won’t find a better installer

Lee from Eastbourne Energy persevers until the snags are sorted out! Thank you!

I contacted Lee at Eastbourne Energy and invited him around to view my property prior to receiving a quote. He visited the property and promised a quote within a few days, but several weeks later I still hadn’t heard anything back at all, despite regularly calling both Lee and the office. The lack of communication and professionalism has been extremely disappointing. This was a complete waste of my time, and I am not at all impressed with their service.

I first enquired about the installation of a battery and solar panels a few years ago, I finally decided to get them installed. Lee was available all through the process to answer any questions and after the install for follow up support. The whole team were polite, tidy and helpful.

Didn't have a system fitted by trhem but wish I did as when I had an issue with mine they came and assisted me instantly and helped me solve the problem. Great team, highly recommended

Huge thanks to Lee, James, Oscar, Shaun, Phil, Josh, Jordan, Matt and James for your brilliant work this week. We are delighted with the ground mounted solar array in our sheep paddock, and all the high spec kit and latest tech infrastructure you installed for us in the rain, mud and cold. You are an amazing, professional lovely team and we really appreciated your expertise, guidance and good natured work ethic throughout. Special thanks to Lee who oversaw everything and acted as our agent for the council planning application, including creating drawings, plans and keeping us up to date throughout. We are now blown away with how intuitive the app is to monitor ongoing performance in real time and the amount of data available. We have effectively now got a mini power station to achieve near self-sufficiency energy wise making this a really good investment.

Faultless and painless. From signing the contract to installation 3 weeks later was simply incredible. Lee dealt with the bureaucracy of the grid connection and outgoing tariff, and we were fully up and running by mid-July. We have since found that receiving credit from one’s energy supplier is very satisfying. Over the three-day installation, the team was professional, polite and tidy and welcomed an inquisitive eye. Importantly, and for scaffolding perhaps, unusually, it was up for the duration of the job and no longer than necessary. Lee’s advice was to keep the EV charger separate from the solar circuits and subsequent experience has proven its wisdom. On a final note, the Anker Solix X1 battery system is quite an elegant addition to the side of the house. Overall, very satisfied. Thank you, Lee, and the Eastbourne Energy Team.

Excellent service, I highly recommend Eastbourne Energy. Outstanding support and genuinely helpful and friendly staff.

Great local company installed solar and battery for us. Lee gave us great advice before we chose - including an Anker battery. The team did a great installation and Lee helped us set up the best tariff. I’d really recommend Eastbourne Energy for their competitive pricing and first class service.

From the onset, the quote for the work and the subsequent installation was excellent. The installation team were polite, courteous and professional whilst undertaking the job on site. The work was completed within 2 days, and when the team left my premises the interior and exterior of the house was immaculate. Lee dealt with my queries and certification resulting in a smooth transition. I couldn’t recommend this company enough!

We are unbelievably happy with the quote, workmanship, value and aftercare. Two quite large complex systems u stalked and now making a real difference. Good quality equipment supplied.

The people putting in the hardware were excellent. The administrative war with Brittish Gas who had captured and lost my MPAN went on for ever. Lee cheerfully battled on. He refused the part payment I offerd until the matter was fully resolved. I would recommend the company to anyone thinking of putting in battery storage and wanting someone proffessional to deal with the paperwork!

Very happy with our recent solar installation. These guys were really professional from the initial quote stage right through to handover. No hesitation in recommending Eastbourne Energy.

Lee and his team were very knowledgeable of their product. great installation, clean and tidy. setup the octopus account for cheap charging at night. export has earnt more than cost of electric. Only problem you have to pay the standing charge.

Eastbourne Energy responded to our request in August for solar panels and batteries solutions without technical language. Lee (Standell) explained and oversaw the whole process. His highly competent and experienced team of installers completed the fitting remarkably efficiently and quickly. Since August, we have been admirably supported by Lee, whom we trust and respect. We are, of course, delighted with our choice of Eastbourne Energy. Give Lee a call!

Great company to deal with. Give great advice even if you are looking at a different company to go with. That is why I put my money with them, and have not been disappointed. Always on hand to guide me through everything Solar.

To Lee and the Eastbourne Energy Team - To start with a massive - Thank You 😊 Lee and the team came highly recommended by a neighbour - A first class service from start to finish - Lee diagnosed and fixed an issue we had with an already installed system and then assisted in us having a battery installed. He was very knowledgeable and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The work carried out was to the highest professional standards, thanks to Lee and the team. We would most definitely recommend Eastbourne Energy - Thank you 😊

Our new roof looks stunning and is built to last. great investment.

My experience with Lee & Eastbourne Energy is a perfect example of how it's best to buy local. We have wanted solar for a few years now but always stopped going ahead because we just didn't trust the sales pitch, ludicrous claims and the thought of a very large team crashing through your house to achieve an install in one day when the installing company is based 50 miles away leaving a rushed messy looking install when we all strive to make our homes look neat and tidy. Enter Eastbourne Energy, a seamless neat and professional installation over two days where we was consulted at every stage and the team went out of their way to hide cables etc. They were a pleasure to have on the property, very respectful of your house and cleaned up afterwards. Lee was present when the system went live and demonstrated how to use the app etc and all the required certification and means to get the export tariff set up with Octopus was done within 2 days after. Many thanks Lee and team a brilliant experience with a local company.

We invited Lee to carry out a survey and proposal for supply and fitting of solar panels and battery for our bungalow, we were impressed with his knowledge and answered all questions, explained the payback period of time. He suggested a system for us and dealt with the paperwork and suggested the appropriate tariff for our needs. Lee's installation team were professional and nothing was too much trouble. Left the site clean and tidy. Thanks Eastbourne Energy. Terry and Irene

Lee knew exactly what the problem was and that we needed a plumber to fix it. No hesitation in recommending this company. Very helpful.

After getting a number of different quotes, from expensive through to outrageous, I came across Eastbourne Energy. It was Saturday, I put my details in the online form asking if he would travel to Portslade and I was pleasantly surprised to receive a call from Lee, the director. We chatted about different solutions, options and his quote arrived within 24 hours. No pushy sales, he didn’t try to upsell me anything, advised (correctly) that I didn’t need a bigger battery due to my low usage and I got a positive vibe from him. No pushy sales! Yes, I’ve said it twice! None of those dodgy sales tactics, like another vendor tried. From the scaffolding team, the installers, electricians and finally the wizard himself (Lee!) turning up to commission it all - it was an easy journey. Nothing was too difficult for them, they were able to answer my questions, walked me through the install and plying them with coffee, they completed my install in a quick and incident-free fashion. Very professional, all round. I was “that guy” and I did ask for something to be moved - no problem at all. I now have a maximum of 7.2kW across two roofs, getting the morning sun to charge the battery and midday/afternoon sun to sell back to the grid. These past few weeks I have been averaging about 35-40kWs yield which means free washing, free tumble dryer, free dishwasher and more importantly, free playstation during the day! I would like to take the time to thank all that attended as they make a great team. Damian (and gang!), Phil, Josh, Jordan, James & his Padawan Oscar and finally, the chief himself, Lee Standell. I hope I got the names correct! Thank you Lee & Team. Nick

Totally delighted with Eastbourne Energy. Staff are experts in their field and guided me about something of which I had no idea.  Extremely polite, courteous and a pleasure to deal with. The workmanship first class from the electrical installation to the placing of the solar panels. Lee explained every detail of the system and will continue to monitor that I am getting the best out of the system and also which Octopus tarrif will best suit my needs. I have no hesitation in recommending Eastbourne Energy to family and friends.  Brilliant!

If I could give Eastbourne Energy more than 5 stars I would. I highly, highly recommend them. I cannot sing their praises highly enough. All so easy and stress free from start to finish, absolutely everything is taken care of. I just made tea and coffee! The team, consisting of Lee, Phil, Josh, Jordan, James and Ollie, are all incredibly lovely guys. They are all very professional, polite, and friendly. They were all a pleasure to have around for 2 days. The guys turned up when they said they would and the installation took the time I had been told it would take. They all did a first class job, the cable work is so neat and tidy, with cables being hidden where possible. The positioning of the batteries and inverter were discussed with me before they were installed to ensure I was happy with everything. Everything was left clean and tidy at the end of the first day and after the installation had been completed on the second day. Lee dealt with all the paperwork I needed and commissioned everything at the end of the installation. He made sure everything was working properly, installed the app I needed on my phone and kept an eye on my system for a couple of days to ensure there were no problems. They are all true professionals, experts in their fields. You will not regret instructing them to install your solar panels, you will regret it if you do not. Top notch team, top notch job.

Too bloke! I rung Lee to help me with my faulty solar system, (that he didn’t fit) Straight away he put my mind at rest with his highly experienced advice. When he turned up he sent his drone up to look at my solar panels, and explained in great detail the problems he saw with the panels, he took photos and noted all 12 panels and advice given. He then completely updated my system fixed the multiple problems I had with panels and systems, and gave further future advice, he was here for over two hours, and never asked for any payment! He was simply happy to help someone who’d been badly treated by a dodgy solar company, who had the. refused to further help me! I can’t recommend Lee enough, a kind, intelligent, and professional man who simply wanted to help with my solar problems. I wish I’d gone with him in the first place! All solar panels now working, system up and running again, and I couldn’t be more grateful! Highly recommend!

My whole experience with Eastbourne Energy has been outstanding from start to finish. Paying out such a huge amount of money is always scary and you have to take a leap of faith with whoever you decide to choose. Look no further I highly recommend Eastbourne Energy, from Lee coming over to discuss what I would benefit from to the scaffolders, to the team fitting the panels and James the electrician. Everyone has been excellent, professional and friendly. I’m a very happy customer and I am on and off my app like a child in and out of the sweet draw. My panels have been up just over a week and I already know it has been the best decision I’ve made and won’t regret. Lee has been at the end of the phone and answered any questions I’ve had and there have been a few! Thank you to all of you 😃

Excellent service from start to finish. All questions answered promptly - top service from scaffolders to installers to electrician. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lee and his team

After months of research and deliberation, we finally took the plunge and chose Eastbourne Solar who installed the solar panels on our home. The installation was surprisingly quick and efficient and his team were polite and helpful. As we are dinosaurs with technology we were always worried how we would be able to overcome and manage the new technology. I can only say and recommend Lee and his team and his patience who have rode shotgun with us from installation to setting up our electricity account and checking our electricity bills to ensure that we are receiving credit for our solar gain. Overall we were very impressed with the installation process. It was smooth, well managed and stress free.

So lucky to find Lee of Eastbourne Energy. On the day "World of Solar" as due to fit panels we found they had gone bankrupt. Rang Eastbourne Energy who are local and Lee came to see us the next day and was so helpful and his quote gave us 14 panels for about the same price as "World of Solar" wanted for 8 panels and fitted them with the batteries in our garage instead of our loft. Extremely helpful and efficient small company and Lee explained everything so we could understand the tech stuff and consistently monitors the system to make sure it is functioning correctly. Thanks Lee you are a star. Gordon and Sandy in Hailsham.

Lee and the team at Eastbourne Energy have been fantastic for the start of our Solar journey. Very helpful in the planning stages and explaining everything we need to consider and then put the options and costs together. Installation was brilliant and no hassle. Highly recommend Eastbourne Energy for your solar installations. Give them a call

Our panels stopped working earlier this year. I gave Eastbourne Energy a call. Lee called me back in less than 5 minutes and was able to diagnose and fix the problem in a 5 minute call. A really top service from a company I will use from now on.

I contacted Eastbourne Energy for some technical advice when my solar installation developed a fault on one of my batteries. The firm that carried out my solar installation was no longer trading, so I was stuck as the battery manufacturer only deals with solar 'installers'. Lee from Eastbourne Energy could not have been more helpful. He came and ran some tests on the battery at my house and even took the battery to his workshop to charge it and diagnose the fault. Lee contacted the battery manufacturer many times on my behalf and they arranged collection of the faulty battery and replaced it under warranty. The battery has now been reinstalled and the system is back up to its maximum capacity. I could not have achieved this without Lee's help and my only regret is that I didn't get Eastbourne Energy to carry out my original solar installation. I would highly recommend this company if you are considering a solar installation. Chris

I originally contacted Lee at Eastbourne Energy in a desperate attempt to fix problems with our existing solar panel installation, the original installers being uncontactable after being paid for a shoddy installation job. Lee was able to identify and fix the immediate problem. I was very impressed with his technical knowledge and willingness to explain, in detail, what was going on. After detailed discussions I decided to ask him to not only refurbish the existing system to make it safe, but to upgrade the whole system to make better use of our situation. This he did speedily and efficiently giving us a professionally installed system at a very good price. I say 'he' but must include the entire team at Eastbourne Energy, especially Phil, Josh and Jordan, who worked expertly and tidily with a minimum of fuss and bother. I am completely satisfied with the finished job and the follow-up assistance in commissioning the system for maximum efficiency. In a sector notoriously populated with chancers and cowboys, Lee and his team are definitely 'white hat' guys - highly proficient, honest and reasonably priced. I have no hesitation in recommending them and am delighted to award them a five star rating, richly deserved.

Lee at Eastbourne Energy was the most knowledgeable and helpful of all the solar firms that I asked to provide quotes for an upgraded system of panels, inverter and battery. I am a hard nut to crack before I am prepared to part with my money. Lee was totally professional and answered all my questions and patiently waited for me to decide. He stood out head and shoulders above other firms with his encyclopaedic knowledge coupled with his enthusiasm. No pressure, just great information and help. Nothing is too much trouble. His support after installation is also very impressive. His team of roofers and electricians were a joy to have on site. Their work was top notch from start to finish. Service like this is hard to find.

We have had solar panels since 2013, but decided to have them updated and add solar batteries from Eastbourne Energy. We are absolutely delighted....the reduction in our daily electricity expense is incredible, and already making a positive difference. Lee and his team are professional, efficient and knowledgeable. The new panels are more aesthetically pleasing too. Would definitely recommend.

We were fortunate enough to have solar panels fitted 3 weeks ago by Eastbourne Energy. They were extremely professional the whole time from beginning to end . The solar panels look great and they have already provided us with a lot of electricity in spite of the cloudy and rainy days. Eastbourne Energy have been excellent at keeping in contact and supporting us and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them . We now look forward to some very sunny days to watch how much electricity is generated. Thank you Eastbourne Energy.

I can only add to the other glowing reviews. Lee is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about alternative energy. The installation team are courteous and professional. What’s not to like.

Wish I could give more than 5 stars! I recently had solar panels installed and all the team were absolutely amazing. They worked so hard on the hottest days of the year with unfailing good humour and great work ethic. From the first visit from Lee who advised on the number of panels, to installation and ongoing customer care they were all fabulous. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Lee and his team at Eastbourne Energy were so helpful. From initial contact they were extremely helpful and professional, guiding us through, what to us was a confusing and difficult process with efficiency and patience. Thank you again for all your help and support.

I contact Lee and the team re an old solar system not installed by themselves and inherited by us on the property so information was limited. The system had decided to stop working. Lee was absolutely fantastic he managed to get the system back up and working nothing was too much trouble he was so friendly and helpful. Would definitely be recommending to everyone and using again without a doubt. Thank you so much for fixing the system.

I would like to thank Lee for all his hard work for our solar panels and batteries installation. He went the extra mile and we are so pleased with the results.

Really great experience from start to finish😀 Installation went smoothly with no problems and the chaps were friendly and very polite and didn’t stop working until the job was done. My installation looks really smart and not a scrap of rubbish was left! Can’t fault Lee and the guys, they’d be my first choice if I had it done again. Lee is always there if you need something explaining or explaining again😂 or if you have any queries. Am loving my grid independence👌 Thanks guys!

Our whole experience with Eastbourne Energy, from the outset of the initial visit, through the whole installation process and the thorough post installment system breakdown was fantastic and inspired. Lee and his whole team (brother Phil and the installers and Bradley the electrician) were very friendly, passionate, professional and knowledgeable about their work. I really highly recommend them and their expertise to anyone interested in going down the solar route, which has been a great experience for us. We were also left feeling very supported and feel like if we have any questions in the future they will be thoroughly answered. We also love seeing how much power we are generating! Thankyou guys!

Very professional and excellent service! Knowledgeable and helpful enabling us to get the maximum benefit from our system. I would certainly recommend Lee and the team to anyone.

I first spoke with Lee a few months back about a solar PV installation for a house I was thinking of buying. Having bought the property I then started to look at the system seriously and couldn't have wanted a better explanation than was provided by Eastbourne Energy. Installation was quickly arranged, and again I can't fault the work which was carried out without any interruption to my normal days. Would happily recommend!

First class advice & guidance from the initial contact. Installation team excellent and professional and the same applied for the necessary scaffolding. A complete service package was provided - brilliant. I would highly recommend Eastbourne Energy for all aspects of solar energy provision.

Eastbourne Energy oversaw the project from design through to installation and were recommended by our ASHP instal company. Working on my solar panels they had a keen eye for detail and the work was done neatly and without disturbance to the household. The system is now running as designed with the installers still maintaining contact to ensure we get the best out of our investment. We would not hesitate to recommend Eastbourne Energy to anyone considering going solar.

Highly recommend Eastbourne energy, from the start Lee came to our house, unlike other companies, he was very knowledgable about everything solar. No pushy sales gave me a full breakdown quote with estimates of solar generation. The guys who completed the work were all very punctual, the work was very neat and completed to a high standard. Solar panels have been fitted 2 months now, my quote estimate for June generation was 738kwh my actual was 968kwh showing the system is more efficient than expected. Thank you.

My wife and I chose Eastbourne Energy to upgrade our solar pannels and install a solar battery because of the good online reviews. We are pleased to say we are happy to add our own 5 star review. From contacting Lee to arrange an appointment to discuss our requirements, Lee could not have been more helpful. He surprised us by saying we could still keep the FIT import payments from our original solar installation. With an electric car, solar pannels and solar battery we are now able to change to the Octopus Intelligent Go EV tarrif and we anticipate over the next year our electricity cost for importing from the grid will reduce significantly. The solar export credits gained over the 8 sunnier months of the year should cover the debits in winter when the sun doesnt shine so much. Besides my wife and I trying to do our bit to help save the planet, we may even find ourselves overall in credit cost wise on an anual basis! Electricity prices are only going to get higher due to the Government's net zero objectives. The installation itself went very smoothly. Scaffolding went up the day before installation and down the day after installation was completed. The standard of workmanship for the installation was excellent and all workmen were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Lee has gone out of his way to help us understand how the pannels, battery system and our EV charger work together. We have no hesitation in recommending Eastbourne Energy for their solar energy needs.

Very consistent response from day one. A respectful consistent team who worked collaboratively with us to make the installation very smooth. Responsive customer service with clear explanations and follow up. We are really pleased to be running on solar

I was looking for a solar and battery installation, and Lee came highly recommended by several of my neighbours. Now, I understand why they spoke so highly of him. He is a genuinely kind individual who is dedicated to assisting you in finding the most suitable system for your needs. Everyone involved in the installation process, from the smiley and courteous scaffolders to the meticulous and respectful team installing the panels and the electrics. The system has been running smoothly for over a week now and Lee is always quick to respond if you have any issues or questions.

We've had a rough experience in deciding which solar company to trust and invest our money in. For the past year, we've had rip-off offers from other solar companies for half or a third of the number of panels installed for the same price, others even offered a higher price. Some were rude and quite annoying nonstop nagging. A very known one even refused to install on our entire roof. Chatting with Lee of Eastbourne Energy about the installation, process and everything under the sun, will drop your hesitations and anxieties to the lowest level. Hearing about his main and real goal for doing this closed the deal. Even with the delay in finalising our decision, we still were saved for the dates we booked for installation. They also included to thw price the removal of our existing water-heating solar panels and systems. If not for the extremely strong winds, it may have been installed as planned and there maybe no delays. We were guided step by step and even when half of the panels were installed, due to safety reasons because of bad weather, it was already running and generating energy. Lee taught me how the app works, what I can view, and all paperworks to be processed. All questions and requests granted and answered. All paperworks and applications with UK Power Network were completed and receive in a week which I heard from other companies will take you ages making you export energy for charity for quite a long time. I processed and applied everything with my power network and the following month after installation, I am already earning £££ and using less energy. Timeline: 3 March house visit 11 March proposal 29 March scaffolding installation 3 April solar panel installation 5 April half installed, but up and running 9/10?

Thank you so much!

I have had an awful experience with an Eastbourne Solar Power Company, and after much frustration I contacted my plumber (Chris Staples who is by the way a very good plumber) who I knew had solar panels and a battery and was very happy with his system. Enter Lee Standell of Eastbourne Energy. From the first contact, to starting the installation, and then to the completion Lee and his team were fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. The installation is now up and running and doing exactly what Lee said it would do. I am so pleased with the installation and would not hesitate to recommend Eastbourne Energy and give them 'FIVE STARS' for a job very well done.

Put it this way, thanks to Lee and his fantastic team, I am a very happy customer indeed! If, like me, you come with existing problems and have experienced the worst service from one of the many rogue companies around, then look no further than Eastbourne Energy. Lee has many years of experience in this industry, which counts for a lot when so may of us are very new to the technology. But here’s the thing, you can put your trust in Lee, and his team, to not rip you off or blind you with science. My system has been upgraded, the long-standing problem is fixed and all the work completed to the highest professional standards – thanks to Eastbourne Energy.

Thank you for everything that you and your team did with the installation new system. Every stage of the process went smoothly. Really appreciated the knowledgeable, informative, low key, no pressure approach that worked for us. We could not be more pleased with the result, most especially the neatness of the wiring and final equipment insulation. It is an investment and the system you installed cost less than I had initially anticipated it would be. We have already seen a saving on the amount of power that we are drawing from the grid, even on cloudy and overcast days. Overall we have found Eastbourne Energy most knowledgeable and professional in every way.

Excellent service repair after others had failed. Went over and beyond expectations

Thank you so much for your help. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Eastbourne Energy. First class service.

Great team to work with. Highly professional, answered all questions clearly and fully. Provided well set-out and comprehensive quote, which fully met our requirements. All works were carried out cheerfully, efficiently and to a very high standard. Would highly recommend Eastbourne Energy for anyone considering installing solar panels.

great firm,great staff and a great job well done .I hghly recommend them.

When looking for a solar installer I came across the reviews other clients of Eastbourne Energy had posted, and this propelled me into action as I could hardly believe what I was reading...... Now, after a superb installation, I know it's true ! My initial contact with Lee on the phone, his immediate grasp of my somewhat complicated requirements, and his obvious knowledge of all aspects of solar, EV's, V2G, MCS, and other baffling (to the uninitiated) terms, made me realize I had found a truly special organisation with a real enthusiast at its head. Lee's subsequent visit to my house, all his useful comments and clear presentation of his suggested set-up all happened quickly and efficiently, and on comparing with other solar companies I had asked to quote there was little difficulty in deciding who to engage. The date for starting the work was mutually agreed, and at 0800 on the appointed freezing cold day Lee's cheerful and personable team arrived and commenced the job, outside in the wind on the scaffolding, no loud music and doing 3 hours per cuppa, and still cheerful when clearly frozen to the bone...! I have to say I was most impressed with the speed of progress, and 3 days later with the expert and neat electrical work completed too, Lee commissioned the system and explained it all fully to me. From the proposal so clearly set out in the first place to the final result, it has been a rewarding experience to deal with such a competent team - how often can you say that about a job? A big thank-you to Lee, Brad, Jordan, Josh, and Phil, who were all charming and considerate, and made what could have been anathema into a positive pleasure. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Eastbourne Energy to my friends and neighbours, and I do hope that this will lead to positive results for all concerned.

Amazing dealing with Lee. Always responded very promptly. Experienced professional who knows his stuff.Takes his job personally. Could not be more helpful, even responding after business hours. I could not recommend Eastbourne Energy highly enough. Professional and personal service. Defiantly recommend them 😀😀😀

From the initial meeting with Lee where we discussed the various options, all the way through the scaffold put up and installation of the panels and various items, we were kept in the loop and the chaps we great even given the intense heat. Would highly recommend Eastbourne Energy for the knowledge, passion for solar panels and professionalism.

Thank you so much. Excellent customer service offered and will use again.

Really recommend Eastbourne Energy Lee is so helpful and his team do a fantastic job,They keep you informed every step of the way and explain everything,very neat and tidy,Very professional and a Great System,already reaping the rewards.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Eastbourne Energy. Lee is very easy to get along with, and very helpful. It seemed to me that Lee was interested in getting what was right and most suitable for me and my property, rather than what was best for him to sell. He answered his phone, and my questions promptly and amiably, and did what he said he would when he said he would. Although my system was small (6 panels, inverter, battery and an eddi) it was installed in one day! And his crew were careful, efficient, clean and tidy and did a neat job. Also, he’s local and I didn’t have to wait for months to have it done.

First class service. Lee was excellent at explaining everything and keeping me informed on what was going on. The guys did a great job in installing the equipment and left the place neat and tidy. Highly recommended.

Brilliant team. Very efficient and helpful for everything and every little details. I would never recommend enough that company. They did the job in 2 days and god knows there was quite a lot to do. And when I had a question after job done, Lee didn’t hesitate to come over and answer me and fix the issue. Thank you a lot for your work. And if I have another house in the future, you can be sure that I will call you for some more solar panels

Knowledgeable and helpfully representatives from the roofers electricians and sales. They had everything completed in 2 days, left no mess and the after sales advice is excellent, l would whole heartedly recommend this company. Also they are a local Company to me trading for many years.

From the first day I met Lee, to building the ground mounted arrays, to final switch on, the team at Eastbourne Energy have gone above and beyond my expectations. Highly recommended - a brilliant job.

Lee and his team did an outstanding job with our installation. All of our many questions were promptly answered and we really feel that Lee provided the best solution for our needs. Excellent service throughout the whole process.

Excellent customer service, Lee advised on the best package for our energy use and property, he explained everything in detail. Very professional and personable. The installation team were very efficient and friendly. We are extremely happy with the service & instal, we are already saving massively on our electricity bill and signed up to Octupus on Lee’s advice, we get paid a good rate to export energy.

Lee and his team couldn’t have been more helpful, patient and professional. Pre-sales, installation, and post-sales support have all been brilliant. Lee has fielded lots of detailed questions from me, giving me all the confidence I needed to commit. Ultimately I chose his quote because it was the best system. Others couldn’t fit as many panels on the prime south-facing roof, or overspecced on things like micro inverters on an unshaded roof, or used overpriced batteries like a Tesla powerwall or poor quality brands. There were slightly cheaper quotes available (as well as more expensive) but as well as the good design it also helped that they were local and weren’t too pushy or sales-y. I was also very keen to use Perlight panels because they were one of the very few tier 1 panel brands where I couldn’t find links to Uyghur forced labour camps. Lee accommodated this request without a problem. I highly recommend looking up the study “In Broad Daylight: Uyghur Forced Labour and Global Solar Supply Chains” if you would like to avoid supporting the unethical parts of the supply chain. The installation team did a very thorough and tidy job, and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with everything on the day. This included a couple of small last minute changes. The cable run was difficult but they were able to hide it entirely in the attic and walls so everything looks super neat. In short, I’m very happy with my new system, and I am very happy I chose Eastbourne Energy!

After a dreadful experience with some rogue traders who charged me nearly £2000 to service my solar installation, but actually left it not working and with broken tiles on my roof, Lee came to my rescue after being recommended by an acquaintance. Lee was prompt, helpful and so concerned about the “work” that had not been undertaken I was put at ease straight away.  Lee worked at getting my current battery working again and gave good advice on how to try and reclaim the money paid to the original traders. Lee’s employees were lovely, they were tidy, even putting dust sheets over all carpets and explaining what they were doing.  Today Lee came to install the software on to my iPad and took time to show me how to use it to check power in the system. Assuring me that if there were to be a problem the software would immediately notify him so it could be dealt with promptly.

Best service ever!! Professional, open to tweaks of the project , great in communication and follow up of the installation .

The installation was carried out with professionalism and politeness from the installers. The work was very neat and they cleaned up as they went. Happy to explain what they were doing and kept me informed of progress. Very appreciative of a hot drink :)

Lee and his Team did an excellent job installing our Solar and Battery System. . The quality of the work from both the electricians (Craig and Brad), and the panel team (Phil, Jordan and Josh) was excellent. It really was a pleasure to have them working at our property, and even in February 2023, we are already reaping the benefits of the install. As a keen & competent DIYer, we rarely have contractors working on our house, and after watching YouTube installs for a few months before going ahead with the project, I had a good idea of what make and size of system we were wanting. We contacted Lee after a recommendation from friends, and at the initial meeting with him, I felt totally relaxed with his knowledge and approach to the install. By the end of the meeting he’d already answered my list of many questions, agreed with my choice of system, and where the system would be best installed. From start to finish, Lee and his Team were pro-active and efficient, keeping me informed of progress during the build up, and during the install they were prompt, courteous, respectful, and friendly toward me and my wife. After each day, the areas of work were left clean and tidy. I was extremely interested in all aspects of the install, and the team were happy for me to ask as many questions as I wanted, without ever feeling that I was interfering. We have 12x 4.25kW panels, with a 5kW Givenergy Gen2 Hybrid Inverter, 2x 5.2kW Givenergy Batteries, and a MyEnergi Eddi for water heating with surplus power.

Great installation courtesy of Eastbourne Energy. From start to finish Lee and his team provided an excellent service. We were given different options and explained all scenarios which would fit our energy usage best. We ended up going with a givenergy 6.4kwh with 19kwh storage. Can’t be more happy and would highly recommend. Also aftercare is first class with lee personally keeping watch over new system to make sure everything is as should be.

Lee and his team were professional and on time. From start to finish, Lee has been very informative in all manner of ways - from the PV panels themselves to batteries, storage, apps, the best energy tariffs, EV chargers, etc. We're very happy with the service and the system installed. We have 18 panels and a 9KW battery, as well as an EV charger. Lee's knowledge is commendable. Nothing was too much trouble for him or his highly competent team. The personal service from this small, independent company is excellent - even after installation, with Lee monitoring the new installation and answering any questions we might have had. Highly recommend.

Really good installation from Eastbourne Energy, they were all done in 2 days and were considerate when routing the cables to keep them as discrete as possible. The panels are already saving us money despite it being mid-winter.

Lee and his team were fantastic. We had a 12 Solar Panel system installed with battery and iBoost for our water. The system was installed in July and since then has been working like a dream. Lee’s communication is great and his team really friendly. We had other quotes of similar value but went with Lee due to his passion for solar and his consultation skills - had more than a few questions! Now set up for Outgoing payments with Octopus and still exporting even in early October. We thought we would generate around 50% of our usage but in reality it has been over 80%, today on October 3rd we have paid for 0 electricity and sold 5kwh back. In these difficult times, this could make the difference so big thanks to the Eastbourne Energy crew. Will consider adding additional panels in a couple of years.
