Honest Energies Ltd installs solar panels, batteries, inverters and related kit, and customers often mention the clear advice and explanations they get before deciding. Several say John was not pushy and took time to understand what they wanted, and many praise the neat, tidy installation work. Reviewers also report quick replies to questions and good aftercare, including help with the app and paperwork. One reviewer says their bills fell to about a third of what they were, and another reports a same-day fix on a weekend after their own mistake. One reviewer, however, describes the company as arrogant and pushy, says two employees hung up without warning, and questions the customer service.
Having received a dozen proposals from several companies we decided to go with Honest Energy. They are relatively local to us which is a plus but John's attention to detail and subsequent quote gave us confidence in trusting the company to install our solar array, battery and inverter. Six weeks after placing the order we had the scaffolding up on the Thursday with installation and removal of scaffolding all taking place on the Monday. There was a slight hiccup over the positioning of the battery and inverter in the garage but this was overcome. The solar array was installed by lunchtime and the scaffolding removed by early afternoon. The handover from the electrician was all completed before 4 pm with everything looking neat and tidy, both in the garage and up on the roof. It was great to see the battery already charging and the solar array already generating power straight away. Thank you very much.
Recently had Solar Pv/battery system installed by John and his team. From initial contact a site survey was carried out. Quotation, install,completion was all handled swiftly. Any questions I had were also answered promptly. I highly recommend Honest Energies for your Solar Installs.
Just great ! From initial contact, through paperwork, installation and final finishing! John and his whole team ..... 100%
Excellent service provided by John and Honest energies. Very response to outreach and provided detail proposal. Installation happened over the course of 2 days, team were professional and hard working. Recommend to anyone looking for installation
Fantastic experience with such a professional company. Solar can be quite a daunting project to get started with, but John really put me at ease when he came to visit my property and scope out the requirements. The quote arrived by email the same day, and John was always available to answer any questions whilst I weighed up various quotes. I obtained quotes from a broad range of companies, both local and national, but felt so comfortable with Honest Energies, it was a no brainer to go with them. They put a lot of emphasis on the aftercare, and being local was a big plus. The Install team were fantastic on the day, getting everything installed and set up in one day. Can't say enough how happy I am with their work, and look forward to checking the app constantly to see the savings roll in :)
Really good experience. Many solar installers I spoke to either use high pressure sales tactics or try and push you into certain brands that they have deals with. Honest energies didn’t do either of these, they took the time to understand what I wanted and made a proposal in line with this. Installation went very smoothly. The team care about doing a good job. Really pleased with the system they installed.
Very pleased with solar panel and battery installation. John was not pushy with the quotation. Price was similar to Energy Company quotations but preferred to proceed with local company that could be contacted if anything goes wrong. Installation took one day with scaffolding erected the day before. One tile was damaged during panel installation but replaced two days later. Other than that everything seems to be working well.
Excellent service. Started earlier than expected due to a cancellation. The solar panel fitters were amazing working in very hot conditions. Fitted new optimisers which improved the efficiency dramatically . Very impressed overall with John who always got back with answers to my numerous questions and queries
I have always been highly skeptical about green energy and didn't really believe it was worth the investment, as the ROI (Return on Investment) always seemed far too long. I shopped around and gathered multiple quotes, most of which only confirmed my doubts. That completely changed when I met John from Honest Energies. He came by and put together a very powerful 12.5 kW solar PV system paired with an 11.56 kWh battery pack, all for a relatively low cost compared to the rest of the market. While any solar ROI is an investment that takes time, John's highly competitive pricing made the payback period significantly shorter than any of the previous quotes I received. The actual installation process was completely smooth, efficient, and problem-free. I'm very glad I didn't write off solar entirely before speaking to this team. Highly recommend John and Honest Energies if you want a straightforward, high-powered setup without the inflated price tag!
Very happy with the installation. Explained the process from start to finish. They sent all accreditations and warranties when the job was complete.
From the start to the finish I can honestly say that John and his team were first class. If you want a solar panel installation system, then i can highly recommend Honest Energies to do an amazing job.
Quoted very promptly & were really great at trying to arrange the earliest mutually convenient date for the install. Arrived to my house promptly on the day & worked hard & had everything up & running by mid afternoon. They then took the time to ensure I knew how it all worked.
John and the team were fantastic. He came out and provided a quote really quickly and had great advice and knowledge about what we could have and might need. They answered loads of questions for us and were really supportive. They did a great job on the day and were really lovely to work with. I'd definitely go back to them for any of the other services they provide.
The company responds well to requests and works hard to ensure it is completed timely and effectively. The team went out of there way to ensure we got our job done. Honest and reliable.
I cannot speak too highly of Honest Energies as a company and team. From the initial consultation, where I gained lots of useful information, to the installation and commissioning I was more than impressed. The quotation was provided within one day of the site survey and was clear and concise. On the day I accepted the quotation I was offered installation dates from approximately two months ahead, from which I selected a date to suit me. After being confirmed the day before, the installation team arrived on the agreed date and in spite of being interrupted several times by thundery rain, the job was completed in one day and by 5pm the solar panels were saving us money.
A big thank you to John and his team, for the installation of 18 panels and a battery. From the start John was helpful, responsive, personable and knowledgeable. Despite a setback, which was out of the Honest Energies team's control, everything was resolved very quickly and easily. The British weather really did it's very best to disrupt the installation, but Aaron and Dean were phenomenal and got the job done to a very high standard. Heartfelt thanks to you all. First full day of solar panels, and we've already seen the results!
Great service and installation. John was great at managing install including cabling routing for least disruption, timeframes and scaffolding installation. Installation went ahead on planned day with a great team who stayed on late to complete the job and explain functions and app. Big thank you to John and team. Highly recommend.
Great business to deal with from start to finish. John’s advice and knowledge made it an easy decision to use Honest Energies. The installation was seamless and the electrician who installed the equipment was excellent. Overall I am completely satisfied and would thoroughly recommend Honest Energies to anyone thinking about a new solar installation or upgrade.
I’m incredibly impressed with Honest Energies. We had a non-standard system requirement, but the team was very sharp and understood exactly what we were aiming for from the start. Even when issues arose due to a deeper-than-standard wall void, they thought out of the box and resolved it effectively. The efficiency of the project was top-notch: scaffolding was up Friday and down by Wednesday, and all paperwork was received the same day as sign-off. The installation itself was very neat—panels were fitted correctly with no scary tile cutting or loose cables, and everything was left tidy. We are just awaiting a battery now (delayed by the manufacturer), and we're looking forward to seeing the savings. Credit to the whole company for such a well-organized process!
Honestly from my perspective the quoting and installation couldn’t have been more straight forward. I needed a replacement for my aged solar inverter. I now have a Fox ESS hybrid inverter with a battery, which is a quality product leaps and bounds better than I had before; my wife can’t stay off the app when the sun shines. Thanks John and Chris.
Excellent service from start to finish . Fast and cost effective quotation and smooth installation with connection to my battery system . Many thanks Adrian Smith Highworth
Honest Energies have been great to deal with from start to finish. We had an install last week, so it is a little too early to tell how much we are saving but the process has been really smooth. John has been efficient at answering any queries and explained the process in very simple terms and helped decide what worked best for us. The quote we had was very competitive and we preferred to go with someone local who was not outsourcing everything on the project. We were around on the day and the guys doing the panels and the electrician were also really helpful and professional. We even had a cracked tile on the roof which they swapped with an easy to reach tile on our porch. They didn't need to do it, but it was really helpful and saved us getting a roofer out to do the job. Would highly recommend Honest Energies again (in fact, I have already)
Honest Energies responded to my issues with my existing solar system, diagnosed the problem, provided and installed a replacement inverter in a professional and timely way. More than happy to recommend them to others.
From the moment I met John, he was great knowledgeable about all things renewable. I had a quote for solar and a battery which was completed recently, all to a very high standard and as agreed, John took care of all the paper work back end for all the relevant certificates and letting companies know about the install as well. My bills have decreased to about a third of what they once were with the combo of the solar and the battery option. John is always on hand as well with any questions about basically anything, he always responds super fast. Overall a very easy and seamless service from the whole team at Honest Energies.
Honest Energy have recently installed solar panels and batteries, as well as an air conditioner, and it was a pleasure working with John Wark and the installers. John provided straightforward, clear and genuinely honest advice before we committed to the project and helped us through every stage of the process. The installation went smoothly despite the awful weather. Importantly, the cost was highly competitive, especially when compared to the price quoted by the energy companies. Highly recommended.
I contacted Honest Energy after a recommendation from a close neighbour. John and his team installed 13 panels and battery system in our house in November. The installation went extremely well with minimum disruption with all work completed in one day. The lads worked quicky and were polite with all rubbish cleared from site when they left. Since then the system has been working well and we have just started to explore exporting surplus generated energy to the grid. Honest Energy have been fantastic, great communication, professional and reliable. I would highly recommend this company.
Solar and Battery installed today, based on neighbour's recommendation - they lived to everything he'd said! Great service from quote/advice through to installation today. All up and running, very straight forward. Installation was discussed, with routing of cables considered to look as good as possible. Clean and tidy installation, by an efficient and friendly team!
John and his team at Honest Energy installed a Solar System with Sigenrgy Batteries. The install went as planned and I am very happy with the service. The price was competitive and as a local business, I was glad I used them.
Honest energies looked after us from beginning to end during the assessment and installation of our solar panels. Every stage was explained, which wasn't our experience of our original installation many years ago. Everything is running smoothly but we know that this company will answer queries quickly, rather than our previous experiences with chatbots! We recommend the company.
I recently had 18 solar panels installed along with a Sigenergy battery and inverter by Honest Energies, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. After approaching a number of companies, John at Honest Energies stood out immediately. He was the only one who came out to physically assess the property before quoting, which gave me confidence that he fully understood what I was looking for and had seen the actual conditions, so there were no surprise costs along the way. He was incredibly helpful, responsive, and made the decision to proceed very easy. From the moment I agreed to move forward, the whole process was smooth and well-organised. I was kept updated at every stage, which really reassured me. Chris and the installation team were fantastic: friendly, professional, and informative throughout. They kept me posted on their progress during the install, and at the end they took the time to walk me through the system and the app so I knew exactly how everything worked. All certificates and documentation were issued very quickly. Overall, I’m extremely happy with my choice and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend John and the team at Honest Energies to anyone considering solar.
HE fitted panels and Batteries for us recently and the service was great from start to finish. Would thoroughly recommend. Just need some sunshine now!
We had alot of pigeons nesting under our solar panels. John and his team came round and installed new netting all around and did an amazing job to clear and re net all panels and install new netting. Affordable and professional. Would highly recommend .
Five star company. John and his team have done an excellent job. I couldn’t fault their work and the thoroughness and tidiness were exemplary. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
John and the crew installed my stuff. Ignore that BS 1* review - been nothing but professional, not pushy at all (he happily waited quite a while for me to make a decision!) Install was clean & tidy. Accommodating my requests. No messing about at all!
Lovely people and faultless service - cannot recommend enough.
Honest energies were great putting solar in for me- John, Arron and James have been great help ever since. I was messing with things and they even came and fixed it same day on a weekend. Couldn’t speak highly enough of the service I’ve received. They really stand out from the crowd. 10/10
Had a solar install from Honest energies last year. I cannot fault the service I received from John, Julie, Chris & Dean. The aftercare has been spot on and the WhatsApp support group has helped massively, it made the whole process so easy. Would highly recommend!!
I recently had solar panels done and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The service was prompt, professional, and the final product exceeded my expectations. Overall excellent experience and John and whole team was extremely helpful, took time to explain everything and went extra mile to ensure that I have the best possible set up for my needs. Highly recommend! Two years later and support is just phone call away. The service is beyond my expectations. John, Thank you for helping out with the issue.
John and the team installed our solar about 18 months ago. The service since has been impeccable. 8pm on a sunday and emails are responded too. There was an issue which was actually our mistake but because he was local John picked it up and came out at 8pm on a Saturday night. Above and beyond would be our experience of Honest solar and Honest energies. We are now getting them to come and install Air conditioning. Would happily reccomend to anyone. And we do! Thank you Honest energies
Honest Energies recently supplied and installed solar panels, home batteries, a whole-house backup system, and an EV charger for us, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. From the initial contact, John who took the time to clearly explain all our options without any pressure, which made a real difference. He was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely interested in helping us find the right setup for our home. The installation team were equally impressive, professional, efficient, and respectful throughout the process. Everything was completed to a high standard, and they left the site clean and tidy. We’re now fully up and running couple of months, and couldn’t be happier with the results. I would absolutely recommend Honest Energies to anyone considering solar or EV solutions. A trustworthy company that delivers on its promises.
John and his Team did a great job from start to finish, John kept us informed of the progress prior to installation. On the day the installation team were very polite and efficient and left everything tidy. The electrician gave me an overview of the system and it is working great we now have cheap electricity and are selling the remainder back to the grid.
Honest Energies recently supplied and fitted a new solar panel and battery system at our property in Faringdon. The whole process from start to finish was fantastic. John took time to explain our options and made recommendations on both the equipment to use and the best way to configure the installation. The team that installed the system were brilliant, polite, respectful of our property, tidy and went above and beyond. We’re now a month in and I am incredibly happy with the system, it’s performing brilliantly and with all the sun we’ve been getting, we haven’t paid for any electricity since the system was installed! John has been on hand to help with after care, responding very swiftly and addressing items quickly that have come up. I would definitely recommend Honest Energies.
Really happy with the service we received from Honest Energies. John was really helpful in giving us advice and explaining what we might consider followed by communicating with SSE and organising relevant paperwork for us to sell to the grid. The installation team were remarkable. Professional and friendly. A big job finished in a day! I would not hesitate recommending this company.
Excellent Solar and battery installation. John and the team arrived on time were very experienced and completed the whole install on an extremely hot day. I still can’t believe my smart meter reading is so low.
A very straightforward process to have solar panel and a battery installed. The team were very efficient in quoting, and supporting our application for listed building consent. The installation was super smooth and only took a day . John walked us through how the system worked and the monitoring app and provided all the details to set up the feed in tariff, checking in afterwards. Couldn't have asked for more.
Had the pleasure of having John and his team install my 9 panel system, including 5kw inverter and 2 x EP11 batteries. This involved 3 floors of scaffolding and installation on 2 separate buildings. Placing my inverter and batteries in the garage which also required trenching. Not only did they complete the work in a single day, and leave everything spotless, they also have been fantastic with after sales support and where very competitive with pricing - best of the lot. It’s not often you get competitive pricing with market leading services. Genuinely felt like they went above and beyond. 10/10 would recommend!
Great service and very transparent on costs, value for money etc. the team did a really nice install with added bird netting too. So far everything is working great. 14 panels + 10kW battery.
Very happy with the service provided by John and his team. Highly professional from first meeting through to installation day. Definitely recommended.
Excellent from start to finish. Everything explained clearly and all follow-up questions answered very swiftly. Installation went smoothly with team very professional and friendly. Recommended
We had a full system and battery fitted by Honest solar Very helpful and easy to deal with answering any questions we had. Very professional the team were very friendly and all done in a day Thanks you Craig
The crew were wonderful, polite, great communication, arrived on time and were respectful not only for me and my property but for each other. Explaining the app to manage the power usage was down well and it is easier than I anticipated. I would highly recommend them and quality of work they did.
I had additional solar storage batteries installed by Honest Solar. Their quote was very competitive, communication quick and polite, installation was seamless and the installation electrician Dan provided some very useful advice on issues with the original installation provided by another company. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Honest Solar and I’ll definitely use them again in the future.
Cannot fault the work ethic of any of the Honest Solar staff. Would recommend them to everyone.
Great service. Really helpful and efficient. Also very responsive with any questions afterwards. We are very pleased!
John and his team were great from intial contact to completion of a job well done. John was patient and very clear in his answers to our questions and kept us informed throughout the process. Would definitely recommend.
We had a great experience from beginning to completion of our Solar Array install with Honest Solar. John was always available and easy to talk to, set out our expectations throughout, and all his workers were competent, well mannered and really put in a good effort for the works. Thanks Honest Solar!
Fast efficient simple process.Only company who was willing to solve my problem of a complex roof design.
Great Service. Started on time as agreed. No fuss whatsoever and extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Will definitely use them again when I have a battery installed.
Fast and efficient installation of solar panels and batteries. They answered all my and my mum's questions patiently
Experienced, professional, friendly and helpful. Can’t fault Honest Solar, would recommend to anyone who is finding the move to solar a bit baffling, as John helped explain everything brilliantly. He also helped tailor the kit to suit our specific needs given we have an air source heat pump, which other companies failed to do
John, Dan and team did an excellent, professional job in repairing our 12 year old solar PV installation which had stopped working due to being wired incorrectly. Wiring professionally renewed and secured in new trunking. Would definitely recommend Honest Solar.
Faringdon Town F.C. are delighted with the installation of solar panels at their club. John from Honest solar has been so helpful from day 1, keeping us informed every step of the way. With his help everything has gone to play been on schedule, and to budget. We are now looking forward to many years of free energy.
Excellent and prompt service. They turned up on the date booked and the work force installed with all due diligence. They were polite and freindly and were gone by 4pm same day with the system up and running as intended. Well done Honest Solar. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone.
Great customer service and prices reasonable too. Installation done with no issues and just really good communication.
I contacted several companies and received various quotes. John from Honest Solar was the only one to spot that the inverter couldn’t go where I wanted it due to requiring 300mm space around it. This and his excellent communication and knowledge helped make my choice. From then, it was a faultless service. They turned up when they said, installed the panels in just over a day, and have provided excellent aftercare service. The scaffolding was up and down in a week, just as they said it would be. I can thoroughly recommend them.
After so many poor experiences with Solar Companies - its great to find a team who are focusing on technical excellence and customer service
Great service and efficient fitting. I am very impressed with the results. John has been very friendly and helpful, guiding us through the process and the best options for us. I would wholeheartedly recommend this company.
John and the team have been absolutely brilliant. We needed off grid solar system that worked with a diesel generator and they were recommended by a friend. The team were extremely professional , well priced and were very happy to help with all the queries. Would highly recommend!
Engineers turned up on arranged date and time and completed the required work efficiently and tidily. Minor issues resolved the following day. Very competitive quote and great communication
A great service. All the guys were friendly and knowledgeable. The whole installation was completed in 1 day. Switched over to Octopus Flux and exported my first KWh next day. Great price. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent experience dealing with John and his colleagues. Build large system exactly as requested and aftercare has been superb. Extremely happy with my decision to go with Honest Solar!
Great service by Dan and Ryan!! Arrived early got the job done to a very high standard… all I can say is thank you very much!!! Would highly recommend Honest Solar!
Excellent service and really pleased with the quality of the products
Honest solar came out to assist us in an emergency, they were extremely helpful. I absolutely would recommend them. Call and speak to John, he’s a star.
Great solar and battery fit. John provided good advice and quoted a very competitive price. Very pleased to have used local company. The team were very good. They worked well, were very tidy and their workmanship was excellent. All done in the day, including scaffolding erection. Highly recommended.
Very professional and quick service
Honest Solar were friendly and efficient, and everything went very smoothly. I would certainly recommend them.
This whole solar PV system experience was made so much easier to understand and see how we could benefit from it with the help of John at Honest Solar. He explained it all in simple and everything ran very smoothly with the installation. We have been up and running with our tailored panels and battery system for nearly 3 weeks now and all seems well. Thanks Honest Solar. I would recommend talking to them if you are interested especially with the current high price of electricity from the grid!
Honest Solar were brilliant from the start of quoting right through to after care. The team were timely and efficient and everything works as we were promised. Very happy with the service from Solar.
Very pleased with the entire experience from getting a quote to the finished installation, everything was more than satisfactory. Customer service very good and we are confident that we have made the right choice. Would happily recommend Honest Solar as professional, reliable, efficient and honest!
honest solar were very professional, quick and friendly. i've had good quotes from solar companies but none better than these guys. It's good to see such professionalism in an up and coming sector. well done john and your team
Honest solar have been fantastic throughout. John was able to sit down with me and my partner and explain every little detail of how and what we can achieve with the solar power for our house. We were then able to get a 0% green loan from our mortgage company which has worked out that with the reduction in our electricity we are now paying almost the same as we were to the energy company but after 5 years we would have paid off our panels and have free electricity day and night with the batteries installed too and guaranteed for years to come. For me, it was a complete no brainer, I have carried on paying what I was to have electricity but in 5yrs It will be completely free… I’m already looking at trying to do the same with my gas. The sooner we don’t have to rely on the grid and become self sufficient the more I will save. Thank you for such a fantastic job to all at honest solar.
Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful customer service. Installation was swift and straightforward.
John and his colleagues at Honest Solar installed 15 panels and a loft battery on our house in July. The installation went extremely well with minimum disruption. Since then the system has been working well and we have just started to export surplus generated energy to the grid. The company were very professional, no hard sell, just a costed technical proposal which explained the design and benefits. I would recommend this company.
Extremely arrogant and pushy, not interested in me and two employees hung up on me without warning. Would advise some customer service training. Beware as if they are like this within 3/4 minutes what are they going to be like going forward when your system is installed?
I can’t emphasise enough how impressed I have been with Honest Solar. Their initial proposal was slick, detailed and easy to understand. The accompanying explanation was clear and left me feeling in good hands. I then shopped around and the price wasn’t beaten when I gave other companies the same specification. The install was flawless; on time, quick and the lads were friendly answering my questions as they went. I’m already exporting energy to the grid and can’t wait for my first monthly energy bill. Thanks guys.
Honest Solar completed my solar and battery Installation and I couldn't recommend them highly enough. John is really helpful and quick to respond to any questions, the installation was pain free neat and tidy. I would recommend them to anyone.
Cannot fault the service from start to finish! Friendly, efficient and transparent all the way through. After hearing some national companies could take over 6 months for installation, Honest Solar were able to get everything done in far less than 2. Would recommend to anyone!
John and team were professional and very efficient all completed on time, would highly recommend Honest Solar
Honest solar were professional, listened to our needs, provided good advice and were very responsive. The installation team did a great job and were impressive in how well they worked together and their knowledge. Working with Honest Solar was refreshing compared with our experience with one of the national companies who we discovered were not interested in us as a customer once they had an order.
John and his team were amazing! He understood the complicated needs of our energy needs (due to also having an air source heat pump) and recommended how to get the best configuration of panels for us. The whole process was so well managed. From the delivery of the materials on the day of installation, to the committed installation team and the support with ensuring the tech afterwards. Prior to working with Honest Solar we'd had a few quotes for solar panels, but John's genuine knowledge and expertise made the decision to go with Honest Solar easy.
First off, I was let down by a previous installer who went into administration with our deposit. Obviously spooked, started to look for other installers and after a couple of conversations decided to choose Honest Solar. As the name suggests, John was honest about pricing and recommendations for my system. All questions and concerns were quickly replied to. Install date is today and I am now all up and running with my solar PV and battery install. Install was: 3.2KWp Longi LR5 panel array split south and east. Sunsynk 3.6kw Inverter 2 x Sunsynk 5.2kw battery Install team were awesome and very tidy. MCS certified installer. Thankyou for a quality install :)
An excellent service by John and his team. The installation was very tidy and done by the the lads professionally. The system was explained to me and I am more than happy with the work. I would highly recommend Honest Solar.
Honest Solar are absolutely amazing. I simply can’t recommend them highly enough. My mother was ripped off by cowboys, who charged her £12k for panels that never worked. No company wanted to help, they were too busy or didn’t want to take on such a messed-up situation. Honest Solar took on the job 3 years later, made everything work within 2 weeks and followed up when they noticed problems my mother didn’t know about. They were extremely swift, efficient, professional and courteous.
John and the team were fantastic. Helpful, informative and hardworking. Couldn't be happier with the result and would recommend them to anyone. Many thanks again John
Excellent service throughout the process.
Honest is the word! From John’s initial visit to generating power in under 3 weeks! Everything John said, from information about the equipment, dates of scaffolding arriving to when we would be generating was exactly what happened. John responded swiftly to all our messages before installation, visited often during the installation (it took place over 1 ½ days), explained how to use the system and different apps, and when we had a query relating to charging our car, came round within 10 minutes. His price was also competitive. We also wish to acknowledge and thank Mark (who installed the panels and the bird blocker) who worked an extremely long day, and was a pleasure to have here. Thanks must also go to Dan who fitted the electrical system, who worked swiftly, responded to questions we had, and got us up and running and generating power within just a few hours. Both had pride in their work. The scaffolding team were also a friendly pair to have here! To put this review in context – prior to dealing with Honest Solar, we had been on a torturous journey with another solar company who took our deposit then delayed, fobbed us off, gave any number of excuses and after a year, went under. Thank you John, Mark and Dan for a thoroughly professional installation. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and Honest Solar.
Honest Solar installed panels and a battery for us. Very neat installation. John’s team work fast and it was all setup after one day (!) Scaffold was put up and down exactly when they said it would be. The system is working very well, we’ve barely used energy from the grid since it was setup. John is always very quick to get back to us on any queries we’ve had. Highly recommended.
Absolutely brilliant from first contact through to install. A great team who do exactly what their names say - honest and solar! Really friendly and committed team who strive to do what they promise. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them
A great team of guys. Installation completed on schedule. Everything neat and tidy and working when they left. Received paperwork within the week. So glad we have solar now, would definitely recommend them. Many thanks for all the help and assistance.
Our journey with solar began a year ago but what followed was 11 months of broken promises from another solar company with us still waiting for a fitting date. We then found Honest Solar and 6 weeks later we were generating electricity! Right from the start it was amazing to have one point of contact in John, who responded promptly and updated us regularly throughout the process. Given our limited knowledge of solar it was great to have John's expert advice and knowledge. This extended to advice on things like info on tariffs etc. and left us feeling we were being given honest advice. John kept us updated throughout and the solar was fitted on the day he said. Everyone we came in contact with from the scaffolders to the fitters were professional and did a great neat and tidy job. Once we were up and running John was there to answer our novice questions about how the system wroked. Overall, I would recommend Honest Solar to anyone considering solar.
This has been an excellent experience with the small team from Honest Solar. We have previously had very poor experiences from two ‘national’ providers, notably the quotes for both time and price. So we were extremely impressed with the support and advice from HS. Despite issues with our older house, the installation was smooth with the team keeping us informed throughout. Great job. Roll on the sunshine; here’s to lower bills.
Customer service has been excellent even after installation, always replies with any questions I have and everyone involved down to the scaffolders have been really friendly, very happy customer :)
From start to finish, our experience with Honest Solar has been excellent. John and his team have been honest, professional and very patient, helping us navigate our way through understanding our new solar panel system and even interceding with our electricity provider when they installed our car charger incorrectly, which interfered with the system. We are over the moon with the service Honest Solar has provided and have no hesitation in recommending them.
Nothing but AMAZING from start to install and beyond. The team were always at the end of the phone to fully explain every little detail and answer any questions we had. We were kept up-to-date every step of the way and everything was done exactly when and how it was said. On install day, everything was shown to us and layout explained again, to ensure we were fully aware of every detail. The team were polite and cleaned up after themselves The aftercare continues to be amazing, with staff always at the end of the phone to answer any questions or concerns. The app is wonderful and shows exactly how we are benefiting from the solar in real time. All in all a totally faultless experience. Can't recommend Honest Solar and the team enough.
We were very weary about solar as the 1st company we went with ripped us off(even tho we were covered by credit card section 75),So John the boss was super helpful even took less deposit to help us. Very good price,very helpful from start to finish,guys very polite even offerd to mop my floor afterwards!! I've had a few queries since installation and always had an answer back within 15 mins! Would recommend everyday of the week 100% I really can not fault! Give these guys a go they are really a great company....
They were really professional and helpful and took the time to explain Solar and the benefits to us. Proposal came back quickly and a follow up call arranged to discuss the proposal was also prompt. Very confident in Honest Solar. Thank you Honest Solar 😁👍.
We have just had a solar and battery system designed and installed by Honest Solar. We had numerous quotes and when it came to choosing the company to carry out the work we choose Honest Solar even those they were not the cheapest quote. We chose Honest Solar because John made sure that he designed a system which was too our needs, he also was very helpful in giving his knowledge on the systems available and the benefits and pitfalls of different options. Before and during the installation the communications on what was happening was great and we knew what was happening right through the install process. The Honest Solar staff were top class and their work was too a high standard. Our install was not the easiest as our roof slates when the roof had been slated year ago were put on wrongly, but Mark the member of staff installing the panel worked in really bad weather conditions to rectify the problems with the slates and installed the panel to a very high standard. I would have no hesitation in recommending Honest Solar to design and install you solar and battery system.
Panels installed yesteday by the hardworking team .. the app that monitors use and savings is excellent, and our experience with the company has been first class. Great customer service and all work done in a timely and efficient way. Great company to work with .. now to start saving on the energy bills.
Fantastic service from start to finish. John took me through all the basics of solar power, as I had very little knowledge. Explained everything start to finish. Everything went as expected. Excellent efficient installation. The guys were really decent and even boarded some of my attic floor so they could install everything. The app tells me what’s happening with the panels and has a return on investment section so you can track how soon you’ll get your money back. Brilliant. Highly recommended.
Great customer service, extremely responsive and helpful from quote to install. Installation was carried out on time and to a very high standard. Already recommended to family and friends and would recommend to anyone else looking for a solar install on their home.
Very impressed and loving our new panels ( and watching our electric bills fall). The quote process was simple and painless, the time from quote to install was good. The installation itself only took a couple of days and didn't cause us any inconvenience ( power only off for less than an hour). Communication throughout the whole process was 5 star with responses very quickly. Highly recommend the company.
Timely quote generated, John gave me time to consider my options and answered all of my questions very timely. I like the fact that they don't use Chinese batteries or inverters too! I feel very confident about using Honest Solar for my install.
Spoke to John who gave some clear advice, I didn’t feel forced into a Solar and he took the time to explain the proposal document. The quote was competitive based on other quotes I had received but felt more at ease with Honest Solar. Install date is in March too which is great!
Great company, John took the time to explain all options available to me over the phone and the proposal was generated very timely. Nothing felt pushed and I am now looking forward to my installation in March!
