The job involved Zengen installing solar panels to the main roof and roof sections at right angles to the main roof, an inverter and battery unit located externally (within an insulated cover), and 1 wall mounted car charging unit. It was carried out over summer and during the heatwave. The installation is very good and the standard of workmanship and attention to detail was excellent. Ian was good at explaining what was intended, discussing requirements and agreeing the way forward so that the finished installation looked good . The work within the loft space was done very neatly and the wiring carefully routed for minimum disruption in a congested and difficult roofscape. All electrics have been carefully installed and labelled. The work installing the solar panels to the roof involved minimal disruption of the roof structure with a few slates removed for fixings, and rails and panels attached. Some neat bird proofing skirting was added, and the final job looks very nice and neat and works well. Ian also talked through the use of the app that shows electricity generation etc and in maximising return on selling solar energy back to the grid. The scaffolding company engaged were also very good and responsive, and access was controlled outside of work hours.
Ian and team from ZenGen fitted our Zappi EV charger and a 5kw Fox inverter solar system. ZenGen were prompt, efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. They got us up and running quickly. We are planning to add a battery in winter which Ian said he is happy to come back out and do. Highly recommended!!
We recently had solar panel and battery installation by ZenGen at the same time as having a whole new roof, and some other jobs as well. During all of this, it was critical for us that the different companies worked 'in sync', and we were impressed at ZenGen's flexibility in making this happen, without us really getting involved or experiencing any gaps in the overall work. During their time with us, Ian and Jake were helpful and happy to answer our questions. The finished work and wiring in the house is neat and tidy and the panels look great - we chose the 'integrated' style and are very pleased with these now that we have seen them - and it is good to see, on the linked app, how everything is working. The final wrap-up session with Ian was particularly helpful and left us feeling comfortable with the new equipment and confident that Ian (being local) would be on hand if we needed him in future. Based on all of the above we are happy to recommend ZenGen to others.
We couldn’t be happier with our new solar and battery system from ZenGen! From the very first conversation, Ian was fantastic. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all our questions, and gave us honest, straightforward advice about what would work best for our roof. There was absolutely no hard sell or pressure—just genuine expertise and recommendations we could trust. The installation itself was brilliant from start to finish. The whole team were friendly, professional, incredibly tidy, and it was obvious they took real pride in their work. One thing that really stood out was the regular photos and videos they sent us throughout every stage of the roof installation. Being able to see exactly what was happening, even when we couldn’t be outside watching, gave us complete confidence in the quality of the workmanship and was a really thoughtful touch. We’re so excited to start seeing the savings on our energy bills and couldn’t be more pleased with the whole experience. If you’re thinking about going solar in Calderdale, we honestly can’t recommend ZenGen highly enough. Outstanding service, excellent workmanship, and a company that genuinely cares about doing the job right!
ZenGen installed my 6kw solar system and a 10kw battery and a car charger 6 months ago and I'm well impressed with the results. Not only can you pull down cheap electric at night during the winter months and store it to use at peak time, but once the sun comes out you're running on free energy. It's a no brainer really, I now getting credits back on my energy account for the whole summer meaning my bill will come down and credits go against my winter bills. I believe I'll get the pay back very quickly as I'm only using about 6kw per day and it producing up to 40kw per day. Also Ian the owner of ZenGen is truly brilliant and walks you through everything before signing a professional agreement. Amazing install start to finish. Vern
Ian and his team were brilliant. We had a full rewire and solar panels put in - he was efficient, reliable and extremely helpful. Going above and beyond for us and keeping us updated the whole time. We will go back to him for all electrical work we need.
ZenGen recently installed a second Zappi tethered EV charger for us at our workplace after installing one at our home last year. The work was done quickly and neatly. Jake was great and got us up and running on the app and trained the staff on the Zappi settings. We’re loving all the savings with current fuel costs. We’ve now asked ZenGen to quote us for solar and batteries at both our home and business premises. Would highly recommend. Martin (Water Heating Services Ltd)
I recently had the team from ZenGen install two 3.4kW on-roof solar arrays for a pair of semi-detached new builds in Halifax. My roofer originally recommended them, and the coordination between the trades was spot on. The finish with the solar skirt bird protection looks great and adds a high-end feel to the new homes. They were efficient, professional, and easy to have on-site. If you’re looking for a reliable solar partner for a new build project, I’d highly recommend them
We instructed ZenGen solar to take care of the solar, battery, EV charger and air source heat pump for our newly built home. We found ZenGen online after searching for installers local to Halifax. They have made the whole process pretty effortless on our side. All the had to do was give them our architects drawings and they have done the rest. Initially we asked them to look at the solary and battery only but they were able to offer the full package including EV charger and heat pump which made things much easier for us to organise. The attention to detail of the installation works was really impressive. Looking forward to reaping the rewards of these systems for years to come. I recommend ZenGen solar to anyone in Calderdale looking to have renewable technologies installed.
EV charger fitted the right way! Amazing job and team. From initial survey, talking me through how they work and what was needed to flawless execution. It wasn’t a straight forward install but the lads made it look easy. They were very conscientious and professional theoughout. I’m saving a fortune on fuel and they helped me set up the app so I was up and running immediately. Defo a concert to EV charging - thanks 🙏
Outstanding from start to finish! Ian and the entire team at Zengen Solar were absolutely brilliant when installing solar panels at our warehouse. From our initial conversation right through to completion, they delivered exceptional service, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. We’ve already noticed a big difference in our energy bills, saving more than we expected. Without question, the best solar company in Halifax and beyond. If you’re considering solar, look no further, Zengen Solar truly sets the gold standard. Highly, highly recommended!
We decided to take the plunge and get solar in summer last year. After receiving quotes from Octopus and other generic suppliers, ZenGen were recommended to us by a friend. Ian came and gave us a customised quote. I had some teething issues such as a redundant vent. Other suppliers were going to build around this causing us to lose valuable roof space. This was no issue for Ian and his team and it was removed easily to maximise our solar potential. Having someone come and speak to you in depth about these things so you can fully customise your build with regards how many panels, what size inverter, dealing with the paperwork side, etc was great and Ian got it just right for us. The install was done quickly and neatly with minimal disruption. We also had an EV charger installed which again was done to a really good standard. The instructions we received as well were great for instances where powering down, etc may be required etc. I’ve had a few questions for Ian since and the aftercare has been brilliant. Although I’ve not had a full summer with the system yet, my export numbers have been good, easily covering house load and running an EV with a bit to spare utilising the Octopus Intellegent Go Tariff. Be interesting to see how much credit we can get this year to contribute to the winter gas bill. Thanks Ian and the team, looking forward to a profitable summer. 👍🏻
Ian and the gang were great and I’d highly recommend them. We had a full reroof and integrated solar fitted along with the battery in the middle of winter.(not the best time I grant you ) but his team did an amazing job and now my roof is my pride and joy :) also had them round to fit my car charger a couple of months later (missed the VAT free with fitting) The workmanship is great and i braved the ladders to have a look a couple of times. now i spend all my time looking at the apps to see how much im generating . :) They dealt with any questions and have always been helpful .
Zengen recently installed a Solax solar and battery system to our remote farm building 170m away from the farmhouse. This was not a standard job at all but they had all the solutions. These lads take a lot of pride in their workmanship even though we were surprised by how quick the job took. We are now powering our air source heat pumps and are selling back to the grid even in the middle of winter. I can see exactly what we’re exporting with the app. Fantastic investment. At this rate, the payback will be less than four years. They even planted some trees for us in Borneo and the Yorkshire Dales. We’ve had a fantastic experience with this company, would highly recommend. Our new neighbours were so impressed they’re having solar too
Excellent service. Couldn't be happier with all aspects. Price, work and system all first class
We recently had Ian and the team at ZenGen supply and fit solar panels, an inverter, and a battery for our home. From start to finish, they were always on time and demonstrated a great level of professionalism. The team was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure to explain everything we needed to know about our new system. The paperwork was handled quickly and efficiently, and now we are fully operational, generating our own electricity and even exporting surplus back to the grid. We couldn't be happier with the service we received and would highly recommend ZenGen to anyone considering solar energy solutions
