EDIT: I have updated my score. The issues I listed during provisioning still stand, but ultimately the final installation was completed to satisfying standards and works well. The team worked hard to remediate any lingering issues and concerns I had, which I appreciate. Please take my my well meant advice and stay far far away from this company. They are nothing but an overpriced middleman, they provide 0 value and all actual work is outsourced to contractors. When they have their initial call with you, they will make a nice first impression and show off their smart looking portal and planner. This is all smoke and mirrors, everything that follows is a disaster. For anyone who cares here is a laundry list of grievances: - They will spin up a Whatsapp group chat with you and their employees for communication. They won't actually ever respond to any of your messages. - Weeks before any works started I gave them a list of blackout dates where no work could happen at the property. This was of course promptly ignored and they attempted to setup the scaffolding right on those dates. - Apparently their site surveyor found that trenching would be required. Of course it was up to me to try and organise the trenching and pay for it, but they wouldn't actually communicate properly where the trenching specifically would be required. - The entire panel layout was a complete mess up. Short before install their quality assurance team came back and said that they panel layout their "AI assisted" design team came back with was not actually up to code and couldn't be installed. They proposed a new design where they had to reduce the panel count by one. Funny enough I suggested that if they just install the panels vertically they could still fit the original amount of panels. Novel idea I know, and it turns out I was right, what amazing experts. - But all this was for nothing anyways, because they never ended up actually communicating the new design to their bloody contractors who just installed the original design that wasn't up to code. - The contractor they used then also mentioned how he hates the equipment they sold me and thinks its crap, amazing. - Of course the install ended up faulty and is not fixed to this day, so I get error codes and fault messages on my battery and EV charger every few days. I should've followed my gut instinct when their crappy AI chatbot messaged me at the beginning, unfortunately I did not, so best I can do right now is to advise you to find a real solar panel installer, not this scummy reseller/middle man who just takes your money and lets you deal with the mess they make.
Fantastic experience from the initial assessment through to brilliant team of installers - highly recommended.
We had a very straightforward, efficient and successful installation of solar panels on our roof at home. MakeMyHouseGreen discussed all the options with us, helped us to select the best solution for our needs and were with us every step of the way to complete this project. They appear knowledgeable on the topic of solar energy and their team has been lovely to work with. We would definitely recommend choosing them if you're looking to explore solar energy. Thanks team!
Great team to work with. Everything went smoothly, just waiting to see how much energy we generate
Absolutely excellent installation experience from the team - Tyrone, Kye, Paul and Sam, plus the apprentice
From start to finish it was a positive experience. They communicated well, answering questions and listening to what we wanted. Highly recommend them as service was first rate.
This company helped me select the correct system for my house then took me through step by step the timetable of delivery of the goods, scaffold erection, panel fitting and electrical installation. Everything went according to their plan with astounding efficiency and I am Now benefitting from total electrical self-sufficiency and am selling my surplus electricity to the grid and making a profit.
For someone new to the world of solar power, the whole process was clearly explained. Leonie took time to understand the current energy use in my household and future plans when recommending what system to use. There was no hard sell and plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
We have been very impressed with MMHG from the moment we enquired about Solar panels. There was no hard sell, just an explanation of how the process works and how it would benefit us. Communication has been exemplary throughout and any questions we have had have been addressed promptly. The electricians who installed were knowledgeable, skilled and friendly. We cannot recommend highly enough.
: I decided to have solar panels fitted and MakeMyHouseGreen had been recommended by my local council. Once I had made contact the process was explained and the pricing and the options were clearly outlined. Face to face meetings and the survey were done via Zoom and contact with Rosie, who coordinated everything was via Whatsapp. Owen did the virtual survey and the installation. The work was done efficiently and extremely tidily. I have been very happy with the service and efficiency of this company.
Very pleased with MakeMyHouseGreen. Great from design through to install. Good comms from them throughout to check how it was all going. Install was over 2 days with different installers on each day but they were great, super hard working, willing to answer all questions. Scaffolders were good too.
An absolutely simple and easy install. The two guys were fabulous. Smart, chatty, helpful, tidy and very good. Well recommended.
Very communicative, efficient and the engineers who did all the work for the install were very polite, respectful and helpful. Great job!
This was my message of appreciation to MakeMyHouseGreen: Your initial technical assessment and proposals for the system were very clearly explained and supported. Your communication throughout has been excellent. The work was done exactly as expected with a friendly professional team. The system is performing perfectly.
We had a great experience with MakeMyHouseGreen getting rooftop solar and a battery installed at our home. They were friendly, knowledgeable, responsive and efficient throughout the process. Everything went very smoothly, and the system is now up and running perfectly. Would highly recommend to anyone else looking to install solar.
Throughly unimpressed with the service so far. Firstly they quoted me and then tried to charge additional for a second inspection when the inspection was included in the initial quote. The solution was to drop the flat roof panels they had proposed. Secondly they said they booked me in for the inspection then I phoned three times on the day being told they would call me back twice. The third time I refused to hang up and then was told they weren’t coming. They are going to need to do a much better job from here to get anymore stars than one from me.
Super service from start to finish
Really lovely team. Worked hard to ensure I was apprised of schedule and what to expect. Installers really professional and courteous. Really respected my property. Great quality workmanship. Thank you!
From the moment I explored the idea of solar with Leonie, to the fantastic install team, (Jon, Wayne and Neal), finishing the build, our experience has been amazing.
Amazing company who really individualise your care and products. Incredibly responsive to your ideas and insecurities. Good communication and a fantastic ground team who come and install and connect up all the electics. So happy with the whole journey and the solar power.
Lots of communications and updates before and after, from everyone involved in the installation. Installers were friendly, informative and respectful of my property, leaving a very neat and tidy installation.
Very good - I was approached by the company when they were making a local sales drive. Throughout the sales and installation process things worked very smoothly and they communicated very well, responding swiftly to all my queries. Price very competitve once the discount for sales in the locality applied.
MakeMyHouseGreen supply quality equipment. One of the local team who were installing the equipment carried out an on-site survey before installation liaising with the customer on preferred routes for wiring and about details of fixing the panels on the roof, etc. The installation team were excellent with all their work done to a high standard with attention to detail and they were friendly and communicative with the customer.
Loved the Solar Guru approach. Someone incredibly knowledgeable in the process rather than a sales person. The installers were great, they were all eager to do an amazing job. They all had a wealth of knowledge and nothing was too much trouble.
Awful experience with them. Although the panels and the overall system works, the actual installation is bad. We’ve been infested with pigeon, nest and our brand new loft extension roof is covered in bird poo. I chose them because they specialise in flat roof solar panel, but their installation is not suitable for pigeon. It’s not with the price you pay. I won’t comment on pitch roof business as I didn’t use them for that, but for flat roof avoid this company. There are way better places for it.
Easy process and excellent customer service, always there to Support and answer questions whether over mail or over the phone. The install teams were very curtious and tidy. Thankyou very much to the whole team at MMHG.
Great service from start to finish. They know their stuff and check for all the potential issues that might affect the install. I was given lots of options for the solar panels and battery. Installers were quick and tidy. A few days after the install, I lost power to my inverter but the electrician came back and fixed the issue quickly. Really happy with the results. If we have a few hours of good sunshine, we have enough power in the battery to keep us going until the next day.
Great company and system. Knowledgeable salesman called Bobbie Lawrenson gave good advice and talked us through the best installation for us. The work was booked in promptly by Rosie. The team of Chris, Belle and Lauren on electrics and James on the roof. They all were professional, conscientious and slightly OCD which we liked. We have been up and running for a few weeks now and are extremely pleased with our system. Big thanks to everyone involved with helping us ‘Make my House Green’
Brilliant from start to finish, I'd definitely recommend
Excellent service from the team at MakeMyHouseGreen start to finish. Great support throughout the process and really pleased with the final result. The solar panels are up which combined with the amazing Sigenergy battery installed at the same time allows me to effectively use solar power and "off peak" electricity stored overnight in the battery throughout the day!
Got a letter through the post from the council promoting this along with a £500 discount, so thought I'd have a look and see how much this is. You are forced to give your phone number and contact details for a quote, despite it saying you won't be contacted unless you make an order. The price was well out of reach for me, but something to think about for the future. But since getting the quote I have been called constantly by this company, despite saying I'm not interested. I blocked the number and have been contacted by numerous different numbers, I believe they have sold my number.
We got a few quotes from various companies before deciding on MMHG, and the choice was clear after speaking with Fin, our initial contact. He had the most knowledge, gave the best recommendations, and was one of the few who did not pressure us into making a snap decision. MMHG is also one of the few companies eligible for cashback offers from banks like Santander when taking out a personal loan for solar panels, a deal we were delighted to take advantage of. Once we signed up, we were handed over to Rosie from customer service, who was fantastic from start to finish. The process was straightforward. We were presented with two clear options, had an engineer visit to confirm everything, and then paid the second instalment. The scaffolders were in and out in under two hours, and the very next day, our panels and battery were installed. The installation team worked quickly, left no mess, and took the time to walk us through the app, explain how the panels work, and outline any upkeep needed. The results have been incredible. Our daily electricity spend has dropped from around £7 to under £3, and on a good day, it is as low as £1.50. The paperwork to sell electricity back to the grid was rushed through much faster than expected, meaning we could switch tariff within days and start charging our battery overnight for even greater savings. MMHG really went above and beyond at every stage. They sent a second person to help the delivery driver unload the panels, collected the packaging the very next day, and communicated clearly throughout. They did not drop the ball once. I love our solar panels and they were absolutely the right decision for our household. I have been recommending MMHG to everyone I know with a roof. My friends and family may be tired of my daily screenshots from the app showing our output, with the current record being 23 kW. Could not recommend this company more highly.
Brilliant experience and Rosie was ever so helpful . We love our new panels and batteries, highly recommend
Each stage of the process had good people. From a good initial experience with our Guru Nick, through to a great installation and commissioning with Jon.
A really professional service. Very slick systems and an incredibly responsive and proactive team from sales through to customer support. I want to call out both Fin and Rosie in particular for the quality of their customer focus. No question was too much and I really felt valued and important. Really happy with the speed at which the whole process took from start to finish whilst never feeling pressured. I'm now delighted with the system and enjoying being able to regularly checking up on how many green kW our new system is generating via my new favourite app
Great team, friendly, flexible, no hassle. The inroof system looks fab and is much better than id hoped.
From the first consultation through to installation and after sales the service was truly first class. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Great company to work with from start to finish, from initial consultation where they explained all the options and potential benefits, through to the install that was done in a day and a half. The whole process was done and dusted in just a few weeks. Were now almost self-sufficient from our solar power. As someone who was always eco conscious but previously worried about the cost, Id say dot hold yourself back. Having solar fitted is an absolute no brainer and Make My House Green are the best company to help you on your journey.
I had very good experience using MakeMyHouseGreen. All involved are brilliant super friendly. The installation was very quick and straightforward. Everything arranged to suit my schedule. All good so far the system is fully up and running straightway. Very good I would recommend to my friends and family. Also got £1000 cash back from my mortgage lender as they are trusted partner. I would make sure if you are going to go with Solar power you should do a little of research. Excellent job. Hopefully I should start seeing some return after 4or5 years.
Brilliant from start to finish. Great design process, with easy to use self service web app to start me off. Friendly and knowledgeable designer Bobbie was brilliant. Great communication throughout the application process and a seamless install. 6/5 starts
I have just had a system installed by Make My House Green. 18 panels, 5kw battery and inverter. I had many different companies quote and I first contacted MMHG based on a discount code from my local council. However I am very pleased I did. The whole process from design, consultation to delivery and install was very efficient and informative. All the staff I dealt with were brilliant with plenty of knowledge and no question was too silly or small for them to give me a decent response. I found the WhatsApp communication very easy, and useful for just catching up on the process. Bobby was the first point of contact for me, and he was great at getting to the point, but in a professional manner, to give me the best system I could afford and use. There was never an upsale on anything, just taking the information I gave and optimising based on that. The final product looks amazing, and so far seems to be working as expected. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality company and product.
Just had 16 panels and a Tesla PW3 installed by MMHG. So pleased with the final outcome. We've been entirely off Grid a whole week since the install, just using the solar panels and battery. MMHG did a great job at the install and were able to cater to our needs whereas other installers just flat out refused, including having the battery on the other side of the house to the gateway, as well as some challenges with our cladding. MMHG were also able to get 16 panels on our roof when most other installers said we would only get a maximum of 14 panels, maybe 12. MMHG may not be the cheapest but I think they are the best value for money. You get what you pay for. When you make a large investment in something that will last 25+ years, you want it done well and to a high standard and that's exactly what MMHG did. Would highly recommend to others.
Reassuring to have a company such as this carrying out work on your property. Their extensive knowledge, & skills, were much appreciated when we installed a solar carport & battery backup. Highly recommend these guys!
We received good advice on our solar panel requirements. The whole process went as smoothly as possible although there was a couple of problems with the scaffolding and electrician changing their dates at short notice however the company rearranged to suit us and where very apologetic. All staff at MakeMyHouseGreen and the tradesmen were all polite and courteous. I would highly recommend this company.
Great installation by Tyrone. Great service overall
No hard sales pitch, different options presented and all work carried out to a good standard.
MMHG were easy to deal with, competitive in their pricing and also delivered great and friendly service throughout the service delivered to date. Although I am awaiting final handover paperwork, I am yet to pay the final instalment but very friendly staff and tradespeople every step of the way
I had this company to install my solar panels, plus an Eddie to heat the water & a Zappi for charging a car, the team were brilliant, so helpful & organised, kept me informed with all the arrangements ahead of time, would certainly recommend this company.
They were very efficient and professional. They also were tidy whilst they worked. No complaints from us
Really quick response to a possible issue, followed up by a visit which was thorough and informative. The guys who attended were great! and good news is there was no issue found relating to the install. Really happy with the service received.
It’s now been a few months and I’ve not looked back on purchasing solar batteries from “MakeMyHomeGreen”. Overall it’s been a great experience from the amazing interactive website to the personal consultation which helped me choose the optimum solar battery size and subsequent savings. Thanks once again!
Friendly experts who listened and produced an excellent solution sent round a pleasant practical guy to check it all out and then had it installed in a day including bird protection, an essential element to ask for unless you want dead pigeons stuck under the panels. Since then we have received subsidy from the electricity supplier during the sunny months which in some months exceeded the bills! There was a very pleasing app provided to show the status usage and productivity of the system
Really great from start to finish, clean and efficient from helping quote, to install, to all around support.
I researched a number of companies and after speaking to the MMHG team decided that I liked they technical approach (they look at your house on Google Maps to gauge roof size), and their straightforward payment (no payment until the work is started, and no full payment until you are generating electricity). Great contact and kept in the loop on all the decisions as we went through the process, and the installers were professional and dedicated, working almost 14 hours on the installation day to get everything set up. Couldn't be happier; 6 months on, the system is humming a long, and I even had a second battery installed to make even better use of the free energy.
The whole experience from the initial conversation about having solar panels installed to their complete installation went extremely smoothly. Make My House Green are excellent at getting everything organised and fully explained. We would certainly recommend them to anyone considering having solar panels installed.
Solar panel installation - 18 panels with battery storage. We are very pleased with our system, and particularly impressed by how much electricity it generates even on cloudy days. The whole buying and installation process from beginning to end was very easy. The communication was good, we always felt in control and we were never put under any pressure to make a decision. The after sales service has also been very good. Thanks to everyone involved in our project from MMHG. They were all professional and courteous.
Make My House Green really is a great company for people metalling solar panels for the first time. They look after you and explain the process at all stages and are very responsive to questions and queries. Highly recommended.
It was a seamless experience with these guys/gals. I've been in the market for solar for a while now but was still unclear about the timelines and the payoff....so much of the market is murky. Their approach was honestly refreshing - to the point, clear and transparent. Great platform, too...can't recommend them enough!
really pleased with our solar installation - a big thank you to Make my house green. We opted for 16 panels with a Duracell battery, installed on a south-facing roof. From start to finish, the experience was smooth and efficient. Even on overcast days in Yorkshire, our system is producing more power than we anticipated, which has been a surprise!! would highly recommend to anyone considering solar.
Started well then badly let down by MMHG. Gave all incorrect and bad advice on number of panels I could have, quoted wrong inverter and was told I couldn't have battery back up during outage. I can and have. Unfortunately I had already paid deposit and agreed contract. After final payment made I discovered wrong make panels fitted without consent. I complained and received compensation. There are lots of companies out there don't chose this one
Very pushy from the start. Constant phone calls and emails. Telling you to sign up with make my house green. You can see this from the other reviews. Once we did sign we were told our deposit was fully refundable which isn't true. We felt pressured to sign quickly. We then decided to change the system we wanted after doing some research make my house green were coming in over £4k more than other more reputable companies. After finding this out we decided to pull the plug. Even though we were signed up with a deposit we had 2 calls in one day asking us if we wanted to get solar panels through them. We only logged on to see our system. They do not have their own installers and basically have a fancy website to try and get you to sign up. They came out far more expensive than any other installer. I would honestly do your research especially on price! Don't waste your money or feel pressured into using this company, all they do is design a system which you choose and then sub contract it out at a huge expense to yourself
Sales journey was super useful. Helped me understand my options and what was best. Really pleased so far!
Wish we’d found Make My House Green sooner, overall very pleasant experience. They have really helped significantly cut down our monthly outgoings! Customer service was ace and their platform is so user friendly with graphs.. which my partner loves!
Amazing service throughout the process. Customer service team were so helpful. Strongly recommend MMHG.
