Joju Solar installed solar panels, batteries and EV chargers for many customers, who often describe the work as neat, tidy and well managed. Several reviewers say communication was clear and that questions or problems were dealt with quickly. One reviewer says a paid inspection did not deliver the promised tests and reports, and they were still asked for the full fee. Another reviewer found the company unhelpful and non-responsive. Most reviewers would recommend Joju Solar.
JoJu Solar is a superb organisation with dedicated, experienced people who really care about providing first rate solutions. They installed 73 panels on our church which will save us many thousands of pounds every year on our electricity bills. The installers worked hard to maintain the aesthetics of the building and were happy to schedule the noisier work around our activities to minimise disruption. They were a pleasure to work with at all stages of the project. Highly recommended.
Fabulous company, guided us patiently through our solar panel and battery journey. The whole team (including the trade companies they have chosen) are wonderful, very knowledgeable, polite, professional and friendly. From start to finish the whole experience went very smoothly and any glitches or queries were handled quickly and with great customer care. We can also report that their after sales care has been brilliant too, really can't fault this company.
Good luck getting your system fixed if you encounter a problem. Their inspection service fee is £500 + VAT including full system check and EICR and DC reports. BUT they barely deliver what they quote for. The first engineer they sent tried to change the meter only without identifying the source of the problem, then changed his mind and tried to convince us to replace the entire system all together. He reported back to the main office as if this was something WE wanted to do. I requested another visit as this was not what happened at all. The second person they sent reluctantly went into the loft to look at the inverter and identified that it was not functioning. They provided a quote for the replacement which was all fine. However, none of the other tests and reports were done during the visit as promised and they still try to charge the full amount.
I used Joju to install solar panels on a shed remote from the house. It did not go without questions arising but Joju were very communicative and solved all the issues with speed and good engineering.
May 2024 had a 2nd Powerwall installed and upgraded to the Gateway 2 from 1. From start to finish everyone involved was knowledgeable, professional and helpful. Dec 2018: Very helpful and knowledgeable company. Installed a Tesla Powerwall 2 into our existing PV installation, plus a Zappi charger. Very neat, tidy and well supported installation.
I'm now the proud owner of an excellent solar array and Tesla Powerwall thanks to Joju, all working well and actually exceeding my expectations bearing in mind the install was completed not far from the shortest day of the year! The quality of the work (roofing and electrical) was exemplary and all the equipment was arranged as I had wanted in spite of some tricky cable runs to my utility meter. One of the standout features of my installation was how well the project was managed through some difficulties which were not due to Joju such as awful weather at the start affecting scheduling and a possibly faulty battery which Tesla advised not to use when the packing was removed and Joju had contacted them due to their own concerns. Although Tesla would obviously have replaced it, Joju used another from their own stock to keep the project moving as quickly as possible and bearing the extra logistical costs themselves. Throughout the installation communication was excellent and I was able to voice any concerns I had and have them addressed quickly. I'm a strong believer that the quality of a company shows through in how they address problems that may arise, rather than just when everything goes smoothly first time (which is great when it happens but there is always the potential for issues, the more complicated a project and I was having a full solar and battery install). I'd happily recommend Joju to anyone interested in getting solar PV and battery technology at their home.
I already have a Tesla powerwall since it was on my house when I moved in. I contacted Ben in the residential maintenance department with a problem following a smart meter installation. He was really helpful and talked me through putting the issue right. Many thanks
I used JuJu for a large domestic installation of solar panels and a Tesla battery. I was very impressed by their professionalism from start to finish - I couldn't recommend more highly!
Overall a great experience. It took some chasing to get things moving, and Battery took some months to arrive but in general the experience was very positive.
I can only describe my experience of using Joju, to fit a PV/Tesla Battery/Zappi, as a complete joy. The standard of the work was outstanding and I can't stress how good the quality of the work is and how tidy and well thought out it was. Every single person, working on my little project, was of the highest standard. My thanks to the electrician, roofers and scaffolders for all their great work and the highest standards. My thanks also go out to my project manager and the design team at Joju. I would definitely suggest Joju for a domestic PV/Battey/Car Charger system. Points: 10/10
Many thanks to team of Joju Solar, I have a very good experience for the in roof solar panel and Tesla Powerwall installation by them. I’m well informed and updated during whole process from survey to installation. The logistics was so good that everything came at the right time for installation. There was heavy rain after the installation and there was no problem. Trustworthy and highly recommended.
Brilliant experience with Joju. Got PV installed with powerwall, zappi and eddi. They handled everything including scaffolding, landscapers to dig and fill in trenches, DNO approval, etc. Communication was simple and easy throughout the whole process with no call centres. Definitely would recommend.
Great project management and install of solar PV and Tesla battery. A few glitches at quotation stage but solved amicably by the owners.
Knowledgeable, thoughtful and professional from start to finish.
Really professional, prompt and made the whole process simple and understandable. I would recommend them to anyone interested in alternative energy solutions
A very smooth and stress free installation. Everyone involved is so professional.
Very professional from start to finish at all levels, from quote though project management to final installation. Neat and tidy installation with an almost zero level of disruption to the house. Even the scaffold sub contractors were helpful and happy to keep access to all windows and doors at all times. Top rate work all round.
After some 50 years in the construction and property development industry as a Chartered Surveyor , my experience with Joju solar has been a text book example of how to deal with a task efficiently and professionally and to the complete satisfaction of myself as a client.
Grteat company to work with. We got a quote in 2020/1 and proceeded with the install in 2022. The roofing team, the electrican, Pav, and the admin team, Jan and Heather, were awesome. So very easy to work with and answered all our questions. We now have 16 panels producing up to 6.6 kWhs
Installed 4kWp solar edge panels with power optimisers + zappi 2 EV charge point. Contact from their design engineer was really good, and once contract was agreed, was handed to their project manager to handle. Ben was really good in answering queries and, more importantly, resolving issues that arose. Would def recommend them.
Second install by Joju .... the other was ten years ago. Overall very good and relatively painless process despite the interruptions of the current situation. Highly knowledgeable staff and quality install. Highly recommended as truly professional Soalr Company which many out there aren't.
From the most informative website to the final switch on, Joju have been excellent. Designing a custom solution offering options, to the install process was all carried out perfectly. Delays in obtaining materials involved a long wait, but I was kept informed along the way and once a date was selected everything worked perfectly. First class team, giving me a first class Solar / Battery installation.
I first spoke to Joju about a photo-voltaic (PV) system to support a new air source heat pump (ASHP) in mid-2019. Joju (Jon Cowdrill, Head of Residential Solar) were incredibly patient while we sorted out the specification and installers for the ASHP. We were just due to start installation of an 11.4 kWh PV array when COVID lockdown hit. We were all patient through that and Joju got started as soon as possible after outdoor building works were permitted. Joju and their contractors did a superb and very professional job. The installations, both on the roof and in the garage, are extremely neat, tidy and efficient. The system was commissioned a day early and has been in place and working perfectly for 6 weeks now. Energy production is at least what Joju estimated, perhaps slightly more. I have no hesitation in recommending Joju and indeed have already done so to a close friend, who is in the process of ordering his own installation from them.
JoJu solar recently installed 11.2kWp of solar on my roof, and two tesla powerwall batteries. Our aim was to cover off our consumption of electricity in the summer, and reduce it in the winter, with a high summer usage due to a hot tub we run May to September. With an idea of some additional production to be able to operate EV in the future. JoJu were one of 4 firms we had quote, and they weren’t the cheapest, but they quickly understood our needs, they understood what we wanted to do, they didn’t make assumptions and get cookie cutter products out and try and sell them to us, we had one supplier obsessed with our “high summer usage” and how that was unusual, JoJu just got on with it and worked with us. We worked together to design a system that meant we could make maximum use of our produced solar, but also could cope with storing the potential levels of Solar, due to the house having roofs facing mostly east and west we couldn’t have loads of panels facing south, so went with having panels on both roofs, something that came about with an onsite survey, JoJu’s technical chap that came to site looked at the roof, looked at where the sun landed, looked at the existing electrical supply, and made useful suggestions – they were the only people that came to site and looked at the existing electrics! Our system is designed with growth in mind, we’ve got a 10kWp inverter, we’ve got the extra DC cables in the roof and we’ve got a design for adding additional panels to the garage, small bits of thought now which will save a lot of headaches for us and them in the future! We’ve got 2 powerwalls so we can absorb all the power from solar into the batteries, we can turn on the oven, the dish washer, the kettle all at once and not end up pulling from the grid as we’ve gone over the output of a single powerwall, the powerwall inverters can deliver it all – and giving us options to load shift in the winter and make use of products like octopus agile. JoJu showed their knowledge in their recommendations, they offered different products and explained the benefits of each, they helped us make decisions for the right reason between cost, features and look. Most importantly they kept us up to date all the way along the process, always happy to explain if we had questions. Their roofers and electricians did a great job, they were tidy, they were knowledgeable, they worked hard, they got the job done and they took pride in what they did, they worked out solutions to problems along the way, and we’ve come out of it with a very tidy install that looks very aesthetically pleasing. I wouldn’t hesitate but to recommend JoJu Solar, they have been a pleasure to work with, we will be back to look at additional panels and EV chargers in the future with them.
Joju were great - highly recommended
Having ordered an i3 we needed a charger, quickly the Zappi stood out as the thing to go for as could work with Solar. Approached several local (Chelmsford) installers with poor response received. Cast the net wider and stumbled across Joju, website is excellent with loads of answers to the many questions we had. Self survey was easy option. There was some things that we were uncertain of but these were all answered quickly and efficiently by Aidan. Booked installation and hoped for the best. I'm pleased to report that Matt the installer turned up on time, made a nice tidy job of the installation and worked around an issue that occurred during the install. The whole process has been really easy from research to installation and operation. Unfortunately that is often not the case but I'd not hesitate to recommend Joju for installation of an EV Charger. Good work guys, thank you.
We first heard about Joju through "Fully Charged" on You Tube, with regards to their installation of a Tesla Powerwall for Robert Llewellyn. When we came to look at fitting a Powerwall 2 ourselves, on a Google search, they were one of not many companies that are authorized to install Tesla equipment. Comparing websites, Joju's stood out for the amount of information they provide, demonstrating a commitment to "Renewables" as an ethos, not just for pitching for business. After contact, a visit was arranged, where the emphasis was on what would be most useful to us, leaving us with a number of options to go with. There was a delay on the job, down to a lack of Powerwalls in the country, but once they were available, dates were arranged. On the date in March 2018 that the roofers came to install the Solar Edge modules on the existing PV panels IT SNOWED! I was up on the roof with them to clean the old panels as they were lifted, and my rag froze. The installers carried on, and did not complain. The next day it was even colder, when they fitted the new panels on the front. They got to job done! Respect. The Powerwall 2 was fitted during the following days, still with snow and ice on the roads. Again, the electricians got the job done, but using his 4x4 , as his van would not have got over to the Isle of Wight. Is that the end of the story? Not quite. . . . Besides getting them to fit a Zappi car charger, one of the Solar Edge modules had been playing up. It was remotely re set a number of times, but again started to drop out this year. (This is a rare failure. The expense on scaffolding makes it a costly issue to resolve, so good quality control is in their greatest interest!) Solar Edge made the decision that it should be replaced, Joju made the arrangements, all done in a couple of weeks. No dodging the issue, no need to chase up. Would we recommend Joju? Yes. If you shop around long enough you might get a cheaper price. Will you get the same level of service? A visit to their web site will be informative. A site visit to evaluate your options will cost you nothing, and will help you to reach a decision. Have you anything to loose? Are Joju paying us for this review? I WISH ! :-). Now we are are waiting for a Tesla Back-up unit.
The whole process was very straightforward to obtain the goverment grant and have my Zappi charger installed by Joju to charge my electric car at home. Price very reasonable (the cheapest of 3 quotes) Excellent installer, who worked really hard to ensure everything was done right, consulting me whenever necessary. I would definitely highly recommend Joju.
I used Joju Solar for installation of Zappi, Harvi and Eddi system to utilise Solar energy for Vehicle charging and water heating. Good price and great communication and installation service.
Very prompt responses to our queries, unlike other possible installers. Installation of a Zappi was completed in a day, within a week after we accepted their quote - no fuss. Their quote was competitive, if we had understood how low their labour charge was we would have taken it immediately.
From first hearing about Joju Solar until the successful completion of my Zappi installation, I have had a good experience. Their website is attractive, well-structured and comprehensive. My emails were quickly and thoroughly answered, the self-survey is fairly easy to complete and a follow-up phone call resolved most difficulties. Making the appointment for installation was easy and the date and time were kept. Greg the installer clearly considered all options with me and then showed his skill and expertise by steadily working through the installation until it was completed very successfully. A small configuration problem was unresolved when he left but completely fixed within 24 hours with some clear instructions by email. i have been very pleased with the whole process!
When initially moving into the house we’d looked into getting solar PV but eventually gave up after dealing with companies with less than appropriate sales techniques. Roll forward a few years and we came across Joju - their process was a breath of fresh air. They listened to our requirements and suggested a system to fit. A change in slope in our roof was handled well and a system designed and installed which so far seems to behave exactly as I’d requested. The install was quick, everyone was very professional, friendly and clearly proud of their work. A pleasure to deal with them throughout.
The JoJu experience was pleasant from start to finish. From the competitive quote to the excellent install, these guys are great to deal with. Both the Sales/Admin personnel and the installing electrician clearly knew their stuff and made the whole process a breeze. If I need work of this type doing again they'll be at the top of my list of people to call.
Just had Joju install solar PV panels and Powerwall - great experience. A delightful company to work with.
Unhelpful - non responsive and quite frankly immature in a business sense, use Athena electrical for better quality of service and delivery
Great company one to trust. Clear quotation with no hidden extras and no surprises.
Extremely efficient and friendly service, competitive pricing, and, miracle of miracles, punctual and polite workmen (including scaffolders!). The whole thing was done and dusted in under a week. Thoroughly recommended.
After seeking quotes from many companies, Joju Solar were able to offer the most efficient PV system for our small roof in east London, and at a highly competitive rate. The knowledge and expertise was obvious from the outset in the planning of the system, and this continued through to installation and post-installation care. Our system is now performing extremely well and is on-track to exceed our generation estimates. I can thoroughly recommend Joju for anyone looking for a high quality Solar PV system.
From the moment I invited JoJu Solar to work with me on a bespoke solar solution from my house they have proved exemplary in listening to my ideas and developing innovative designs to meet my requirements. In particular, my Project Manager demonstrated both technical prowess and exceptional customer liaison skills, particularly in the patience department! They delivered on time, completed minor follow up work without fuss and have delivered the system I originally envisaged, which is now performing exceptionally. I can highly recommend JoJu Solar to anyone considering a solar installation and they will definitely be my benchmark for any future solar work.
We settled on buying our Solar System from Joju after having visits from 9 different solar companies, none of whom really understood the technology (I'm a Physics Teacher) and none of whom were willing to help us understand the slightly complicated layout of our roof (a 'T' shape) without first agreeing to an installation and paying a 25% deposit! Joju, meanwhile, loved the challenge of the T-shaped roof and did a full system plan for us ahead of any agreement being signed. They understood and were able to explain ways their design would minimise shading issues and were also able to access the very most efficient panels for what would now be classed a 'medium' sized system. Their whole project management was close to faultless and we have been delighted with the performance of the system over many years now.
