Spectra Solar Ltd reviewers often describe a clear, no-pressure sales process and friendly, helpful communication from the first enquiry through to aftercare. Many report tidy, neat installations done in a day by polite teams, with the system and app explained clearly, and several say the price was competitive or better than other quotes. Reviewers also mention quick responses to queries and faults; one says a faulty inverter was replaced within 48 hours. A few reviewers report problems: one installation date error on scaffolding, two reviewers describe poor or unprofessional service, one says the company never got back to them, and one reports a cracked roof tile caused by scaffolders, which was later replaced.
We recently had solar panels and battery installed by Spectre Solar, and the entire experience was brilliant. From the initial site visit through to the scaffolding and final installation, everything ran seamlessly. Their pricing was very competitive compared to other quotes we received, without cutting any corners. The installation team were friendly, polite, and tidy, and all the required handover documents and certificates arrived promptly. When I had a couple of minor queries afterwards, the aftercare team sorted them out straight away. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a reliable, professional solar installer.
Really happy with the post installation backup Jonathan and everybody at Spectra have given me. Jonathan also patiently explained all the pros and cons before installation and helped with the form filling with my energy provider.
Had my solar installed on the 18th of June. The lad Jonny I think his name was and the other lad did an excellent job of installing my panels and giving me information on the install process. The electrician Liam was great. Talked through the best way he was going to do the work and if I was happy with the way to install and connect the battery. Customer service aftercare have been great also. Very correspondent to emails and phone calls and always happy to help and give you information. Would strongly recommend spectra solar if you want a solar company.
Made an error on scaffolding install date but rectified it and install was done on time and a tidy job.
So helpful and friendly! We have a system fitted by a different installer who are not trading anymore. When we had an issue with our Dongle we were at our wits end but a member of the team ( John I think) talked us through what to do- and it worked!! Saved us a call out fee and also saved our sanity. Top notch service from a company is to be praised! Won’t hesitate to use them if we need anymore solar related products!!
Excellent from the 1st call to the install .No pressure what so ever & just very easy to deal with . Very impressed & would recommend.
Kurt was really helpful and explained everything clearly, highly recommend Spectra solar.
Great company very professional to deal with .
100% recommended. from first contact with Jonathan to discuss my options of upgrading my current solar system with complementary batteries to the install today from Liam, I can't fault them!! Jonathan is always available to discuss and help with any questions or queries ad Liam and his buddy did a great job installing them today, left the area clean and tidy and explained the work he'd done. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending Spectra Solar to anyone looking to help reduce your energy costs. 👏
Very pleased with solar installation and EV fitted by Spectra Solar.. Great communication all through the project. Good price and installation was completed when request and all working well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to others. Great from start to finish!
Another excellent experience with Spectra, having had another Expansion Pack added.
Third time I have used Spectra solar now .each time you get an individual assessment of you needs. Very neat and professional job. Highly recommended
Good lads everything's done by the book so many fraudulent companies out there you don't know who to choose anymore anything solar these lines are definitely trustworthy.
We read reviews of quite a few companies before settling on Spectra. Many of them were 5 star and I've no reason to think they wouldn't have also been excellent so choosing was hard, but in the end we went with the one our neighbour had used. Have to say we can't fault them - the end to end process was handled really well. Communication has been excellent and the installation and follow up support has been everything we could have asked for. So I'd have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone struggling to choose. The price was also very competitive btw. Thanks guys
Shopped around for solar panel and battery installation. Decided on Spectra due to being a Which approved trader and using there own installation team. The price was not far off the cheapest as well. Also no pressure selling. Roofing lads Brett and Brook arrived just after 8am and the electrician Liam about 9 who went through everything with me. The whole team were a credit to the company. Everything was left clean and tidy after installation and a full explanation of how the system app worked. Post and pre install comms from Kurt was and is still excellent. No issues to report. All documents sent through straight after payment. Really pleased with whole process. 14 panels Hanchu battery and invertor. All neat and tidy.
To save you reading the rest - I'll sum it up in one word - Impressive! From inital contact there's no hard sell, no pressure, but plenty of advice. Having contemplated solar for a few months, I'd done plenty of research. Being local to their offices, the wife and I arranged to pop in to their showroom. Again no pressure, no hard sell, but very knowledgeable, backing up I'd gleaned from my research. Mike turned up to conduct the survey as arranged, I wanted to be clear on what to expect and if there were any issues, and Mike made suggestions on how to install the equipment in the garage without damaging the pre-fab concrete. We agreed on the trench location between the house and garage to prevent damage to the new driveway - Important as the scaffolders errected their scaffold right over the area, luckily I was at home when they came to errect it and they managed to position the two legs so not to be in the way. Installation day, the lads rocked up just after 8am on a frosty January morning, Tea, Coffee & biscuits were welcomed by them, they simply just got on with it. I was sceptical they'd get it done in the day, but the roofing team were done by mid afternoon, leaving the electricians to connect and commission the system. That was all done around 5pm. The installation in the garage with Uni-Strut is tidy, they routed the DC cables through the soffit, from the loft space - I was expecting a hole through the wall. The internal consumer unit is tidy, and there's been no issues since the install. I can't wait for the sunnier weather, as despite the rain & fog recently the system's already impressed me with it's generation quite offten the base load is solely from PV.
Worst service given by this
Fantastic job installing our batteries. Completed in a day with no fuss, mess or drama. Couldn’t be happier with the team or their work - even my wife was impressed !
I highly recommend this company. Too often we are let down by merchants making appointments and not appearing. Spectra fulfilled all of their commitments leading to our installation recently. The weather was awful on the due day but fitters arrived on time followed by electricians. All were courteous, respectful and helpful. As promised the installation was completed in one day - not easy on a dark wet day in December - and full instructions were given to download the ubiquitous 'App'. The fitters finally departed in the dark having cleaned up behind themselves. I am delighted with the work which is generating already.
I would highly recommend Spectra Solar Ltd for the installation of Solar PV system on your residence. Right from the start i noticed how excellent Mike was at communication. It is clear that he is an experts in this field, but they took the time on numerous occasions to talk me through the various options and tweak to match my needs or requests. All of this was done in language and terminology that I could understand. Once I was happy for the order to go ahead, Spectra Solar Ltd team delivered on the promised date for the setup of my installation of system. On the day the team consisted of Jordan, Brett and Wayne. I was very much impressed on how they performed their task in a professional, neat yet thorough manner and were very much approachable and considerate of my needs. I can’t fault their workmanship (top notch). My system consists of 11 solar panels, 7.2kwh battery and 3.6 inverter. To my surprise the job only lasted a day. Another important factor for me was that Spectra Solar Ltd ask for no upfront payments and the final payment could be paid on card, which was a positive for me. Overall a super experience 😁 Thank you Mike, Emma, Jordan, Brett and Wayne.
Very professional and helpful throughout from first enquiry to installation of panels and battery system.Very competitively priced compared to energy companies' own solar systems and all my questions were answered honestly and clearly.I would definitely recommend Spectra Solar Ltd
Highly recommend Spectra Solar Limited, professional, efficient and absolutely no problems with communication. We are so happy to have selected this company to install solar panels to our children's nursery and community centre. Thankyou
Superb and knowledgeable - Spectra guide you through the process from design to installation, answer all questions and form a genuine partnership. Installation was textbook and I was kept fully informed throughout every step in the project. Very pleased with the results and my investment is already making savings that are contributing towards playback, plus i'm doing my bit for the environment for the next 30 years. My install is a domestic 17 panel solar with battery storage plus inverter.
Highly recommend! Good Communication and good installation. Very happy using this company 😊
Unprofessional & terrible service
Very impressed with Spectra Solar from initial contact through to installation today. There was no pressure whatsoever from a ‘sales’ perspective; everything they said would be done has been and the job is very neat and tidy. The staff right through from the initial enquiry with the office, the subsequent survey and the installation couldn’t have been more accommodating.The initial enquiry produced a quote (and a revised quote when we upgraded the inverter) no pushy sales follow ups. Both the roofing team and the electricians today were polite, efficient and an absolute credit to the company. We highly recommend them; if you are thinking of solar panels/battery systems you won’t go wrong with Spectra. It was an absolute pleasure to have the team working here today 👌
Great service and went the extra mile during my recent install
Right from the start of the process I have had absolute confidence in the team at Spectra, no hard sell, honest opinions and a level of trust that is unusual these days. There were opportunities when they could have sold me additional equipment, however, Jonathan suggested that it would be better to wait and see before investing in additional battery storage which we may not need. The team who did the installation were fantastic, from the scaffolders to the roofing team and electrical engineers, all were professional and showed a genuine pride in the work that they were carrying out. Once commissioned the team were quick to react to any minor issues which presented, to the extent that when I phoned they told me what the issue was before I had even mentioned it! They had been monitoring the system and were already on with the solution. So far the system has been up and running for just over a week and is already surpassing the estimate for the amount that would be generated, we have had at least three days where our energy needs have been 98% covered by the solar and battery storage.
Contacted Spectra when getting quotes for a solar install. Spectra had been recommended to me and were fairly local too. Had an initial telephone call with the office and was provided with a detailed initial quote and information about the company. The initial quote was for a Hanchu system but they also provided quotes for other makes. I was initially unsure exactly what configuration I wanted but Jonathan in the office was really good at talking things through with me and coming back to me with quotes for different configurations. In the end I went with a Fox system with 2 stackable batteries. Jonathan came out twice to measure the roof (due to small garden it was tricky for him to use his tool but he took his time both times he was here) and was unsure if I could fit 12 panels and said it might be 9 but they'd try for 12 on the day. Comms with the company was great, I didn't need to chase them once and they were all really friendly. Scaffolding was arranged and the workmen were friendly and had the scaffolding up in a couple of hours. On install day the roofer said he could fit the 12 panels and they did a really neat and tidy job. The electricians also did a really good job with a nice neat install despite layout of my house being a little awkward. The roofers and electricians were also really friendly and a professional. Overall the install took around 6 hours and all the rubbish was taken away by them. The Fox app was set up for me and the system was checked over and explained to me. My electric bill has gone down from £120 a month to £20 and I've been getting around £100 a month back in SEG payments. The system has performed flawlessly since installed, generating just short of 1mw in May. After the install I had all the relevant paperwork sent over to me in good time. Overall I couldn't be happier with the install and how good Spectra were. I'd happily recommend them to anyone considering getting solar installed.
Jonathan and his team are great. Speedy communication, good prices and his team that came out to fit my solar batteries were clean, tidy and professional. After sales care has also been good, answering queries and using the app. Highly recommended.
We requested a quote from Spectra Solar and were happy to receive a detailed emailed quote, with no-one wanting to visit in person, no pushy salesmen or pressure to buy unlike other companies we contacted. Other companies gave us a quote much higher than Spectra, then slashed thousands off the price to try and get our business. None of this with Spectra, the price was realistic and fair to start with. Jonathan in the office was helpful and informative, Mike came to do a survey when we accepted the quote and was friendly and helped us tailor the quote to our needs. The lads came to fit the system and were quick, efficient and tidy and we are delighted with the install. Liam explained the system and the app before leaving. I wouldn't hesitate recommending this company to anyone, great service.
All the staff members are polite and cheerful. They are very efficient and willing to answer any questions.
We’d been thinking of investing in Solar for some time and had numerous conversations with various providers until someone recommended Spectra. Wow, what a difference – absolutely no pressure, thoroughly knowledgeable and patience with all our ‘daft’ questions. From the very first contact, they’ve been incredibly responsive. Mike came out and completed our survey and again was incredibly helpful and professional and explained everything in detail to us. The installation was completed in less than a day and I was very impressed with the team's performance. The guys literally got on with the job, no hassle -incredibly tidy work and ensured everything was explained properly to us, before handing everything over. It’s very rare to come across a company that provides such superb service as Spectra. They really do what it says on the tin and are an absolute pleasure to work with! If you’re looking at Solar, I’d 100% recommend these guys - they deliver what they promise 😊
Great company. Staff friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. Several options provided for our install, and the team worked with us to provide the right solution. Installation team were great. System has been live for just over 2 weeks and we’ve hardly used any electricity from the grid!! Would definitely recommend!
If you’re reading this because you’re on the fence choosing a solar installer, then stop searching; these are the guys to use! I’m a bit of a geek about this stuff. So I did plenty of shopping around, and this is what I found: -- Some installers talked a good talk, but were also very expensive and pushy. -- Some were competitively priced, but I wouldn’t trust them with my property. -- Spectra came to me as a recommendation, which I’m glad I listened to! Spectra provided decent kit, at a competitive price. But perhaps the most important to me, was that they were 10/10 knowledgeable, trustworthy and professional... With an investment like this, you won’t find a better service! I got a 7kW inverter, 10kW battery, 18 panels and a manual-changeover switch… It’s been performing very well! Before installation: -- Spectra did a great job of helping me choose the best kit to suit my property and budget. -- They were very knowledgeable and patient in answering all of my questions / concerns. During installation: -- The roofers did a great, tidy job of the panel installation and cabling. -- The electricians did a great job of the inverter, battery & changeover installation, keeping it all neat and tidy. After installation: -- They continued to help me with the paperwork and make sure the app / monitoring is working smoothly. Thank you!
Could not recommend enough! Spectra Solar have been incredibly kind with their time to run through the proposal and were always really quick to respond to any questions we had. On install day the team were here on time and worked straight through to get the work done quickly. They asked questions about routes of cables and were accommodating to our requests.
Superb company from initial call to full installation. Cannot fault anything from them,no question was too small to ask. Throughly recommend them.
From first engagement to last, this is a solar company getting it right. No pushy sales, happy to answer any questions, and refine quotes until you're happy. Everything ran exactly on time, survey, scaffolders, solar panel fitters, and electrician. All great blokes, easy to chat to and respectful, a very neat job done from all too. Been very impressed by the solar production, battery, and fox ess app so far. Have already been recommending them to friends. Haven't had any issues yet, so can't pass comment on that side, but I've every confidence they'd do something about it in short order.
Excellent service all way through process competitive pricing and a great set of workers. Highly recommended
First class operation from start (initial email approach by me) to completion. The price for the complete package was very competitive and communication was excellent from all the employees that I dealt with. I have to particularly praise the honesty and attention to detail in going through every item and discussing pros and cons of changes I requested. Installation was planned very quickly after G99 approval and the team arrived on time and completed an excellent installation in one day as promised. Post install I have had to get technical support with a required firmware upgrade from Jonathan in the office - again excellent communication and rapid resolution of the issue. I would recommend these guys to anyone in their area without question.
Went the extra mile very helpful and efficient
Experience from start to finish has been great. I hardly ever give full marks, but pleased to do so for this. I did quite a lot of research into suppliers to find a company who understood & could deliver what I wanted from a solar & battery system, my main priorities being resilience & cost savings with anything from feed-in tariffs as a secondary bonus. Having moved to a beautiful valley in Wales, with overhead power supply (& all the issues that might bring in winter when you need power most), I could see little point in having a solar & battery system that could not be used in case of a power outage. I also keep tropical fish, so wanted them, as well as freezer, central heating etc to be ok if we happened to be away, hence an automatic cutover!. Little did I realise that many suppliers just can't deliver what seems to be a simple & logical solution to maintain a household supply (most suppliers don't tell you your solar & batteries would automatically shut down if mains/grid supply fails, so it doesn't electrocute engineers working on the fault) . Even when they claimed they could, it took quite a while on a couple of occasions to get an admission that there would be additional work required post installation, "outside their scope" & therefore undetermined additional work & cost (assuming their inverter even had the capability!) - no good to me! I eventually found 2 companies (coincidentally not far from our old home of Bolton) who could give me maximum capacity for the roof with a good sized inverter & battery, but more importantly, with an automated cutover to isolate the grid & provide an Emergency Power Supply if needed (Spectra also sorted out the application to install a system over the power threshold requiring permission that others used as a householders limit!. Although theres a DNO limit on the power that can be exported, I don't see any issue - we use a background level anyway, so it wouldn't be very often that more than that limit would be available) I eventually chose Spectra, mainly because of the apparently slightly better roof system for slate tiles. They were a comparable cost to the alternative (and actually not as expensive as another prominent company for far less power & with no EPS ability!) Scaffolding was installed by a local company on the date desired & the solar team arrived very early in the day to start work & got the roof completed way quicker than I expected. The electrics too a little longer, hampered by our stone walls being rather tricky to drill & fix kit to (either hard slate or crumbly mortar!), but overcame any difficulties, including working in the loft sauna! A great bunch of guys, a real credit to Spectra......my only WARNING? - make sure you have plenty of sugar for their brews! (its not something we had much of, so had to pop out) Yes, I could have paid less if I'd gone with another choice - But, although EPS might not be important to some, how annoyed would I have been (with myself!) if I then found I'd not got what I wanted (i.e. automatic failover to EPS) because I'd not asked the right questions or pushed for the answers. Spectra understood what I wanted & why, plus were very clear with their design & specs from the outset - all of which gave me great deal of confidence. Note that I was previously on the brink of committing to an order with a different company that would have cost significantly more with less generation, half the battery capacity, & after a lot of pushing, admission that EPS could not be included. Credit tio them though, the small "price holding" deposit was refunded promptly when it was cancelled (Id admit, possibly lured in by sales techniques)! So beware. as spectra say in their FB posts, do your homework!. 6 months in (Jan 25). All still well & good. As you'd expect with recent weather, short days & mostly overcast, there's not a lot being generated compared to summer, but there's still some power coming in from the panels. With all the Red warnings we've had, I've also set batteries to top up a bit overnight from the grid.🙂
We have just had our solar panels and battery installed by Spectra and the whole process from start to finish has been great! From the beginning, they have been very helpful with quick replies to emails and useful help and guidance on what to get to suit our needs. We had slight issues following the installation with connecting the solar panels to our wifi but Spectra were incredibly helpful and patient with us throughout, talking us through what to do and always being on hand to answer queries. We could not fault their service throughout and would happily recommend them to anyone looking to get solar panels installed!
Excellent service. Got on with the job, we had a few problems with connecting but the electrician was brilliant. I would highly recommend
Had a 14 panel and 5kw battery install last week, efficient install, easy company to deal with, no hassle or pressure and very completive pricing. Just make sure you have lots of sugar for the scaffolders, electrician and solar chaps cups of tea haha. Would highly recommend.
I decided on Spectra Solar to install my Solar & Battery system because they replied promptly, were punctual, friendly, competitive & relatively local. Everything from answering my questions, providing quotes & alternative options & survey, to getting DNO authorisation for the 5kw inverter & Installation was straightforward. The installers did a great job. I highly recommend Spectra Solar and I will certainly use them again when I add to my system.
I don't normally do reviews but our experience with Spectra Solar has been exceptional - I wish every company conducted there business in the same way! From the first contact to completion of the job the team could not have been more helpful and supportive. The scaffolders (Amber Scaff) were brilliant; the roofers endlessly cheerful even in the torrential rain; the electricians going way beyond the extra mild to ensure the system was working properly; and the support staff in the office extremely patient in answering my endless questions and ensuring every aspect of the job was done to the highest standards. Thank you to everyone!
Well after a lot of searching in the minefield of solar companies we ( I must say) stumbled across spectra by accident. What an accidental stumble it was. Initial contact was made via Facebook direct with the owner on a Sunday morning. I then read ALL of the google reviews and was already having a good feeling about this company. So arranged a call for the next day to speak to them. Directly spoke to the owner who then filled me with confidence. He also explained that once the quote was done that the company will not keep bothering you like other companies do to get your business. Something he even admitted that people would get the wrong impression of his company because in this day and age it’s what everyone does. So we had a very good remote quote from them we then arranged a site visit. The site visit was on time and extremely professional but also on a very personal And down to earth level. We agreed a date for install And everything was in place. So day of install the roof team arrived and very polite explained what they was doing and proceeded to crack on. The two electricians arrived once again extremely polite and explained what they would do. Before long the roof lads had completed the job and were on their way leaving the electricians to finish off. The electricians had a slight problem due to my router being the cause of the problems but once that was done they explained how everything worked And we was up and running. So I write this review after two months of the install. I like to do this so if any problems occur I can see how good the company is. We had one problem ( not of spectra’s making) but to do with the app. I emailed them at around 6am about it by 9.30am I had a call direct from the owner. I extremely confident that if any problems occur along the way these guys will be on hand to sort it. The ladies in the office once again on the ball in emailing all relevant documents across in a speedily fashion. So spectra from Colette And myself get a 10/10 Many thanks for a trouble free install and making the build up to the install trouble free.
We were very impressed with Spectra Solar from contacting them to installation and beyond Everything was handled in an efficient and professional manner. The team did a very tidy job on the installation, and they paid great attention to detail. The system is so impressive and has exceeded our expectations Overall, we are delighted to have chosen Spectra and would highly recommend them.
I already had solar PV, and was looking to add battery storage with AC coupled inverter. I had made enquiries with a few companies, but there was only Spectra solar that I felt truly comfortable with. They really knew what they were talking about, and were able to answer all of my questions. A thoroughly professional service from my start to finish. Five stars from me ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Excellent value, service and system. Our installation, this week, was like clockwork. No fuss, no mess and it all works brilliantly. The customer service throughout has been top notch. All questions answered and all the tech explained to me! Highly recommended.
The service was brilliant and no Bull on the quoting, good honest and helpful advice. Highly recommend
Home battery and Zappi charger fitted. The guys were very good and everything was then explained to me about how to get the best out of the system. Hopefully will pay for itself very quickly
Having decided to get Solar Panels and knowing nothing about them it was daunting to start getting quotations and to pick a reliable supplier. We had about 4 or 5 quotations and a number of discussions with companies some clearly knew what they were talking about and others were just trained to put your house into a software template without really being able to answer the questions you had before undergoing something of this scope. I had a couple of discussions with Spectra Solar and decided to use them based upon the customer feedback they had online and due to the excellent advice given to me by Jonathan. Their surveyor came on Christmas Eve, he was really nice and did a very thorough job of checking our roof and discussing where we wanted the installation of the batteries and inverter, we also decided to have the mesh netting put on the panels to stop birds or squirrels which no other company suggested. We then did hit a major block as National Grid said we had to have a compete new feed to get 3Phase power as our supply was joined from the house next door, we had no idea it was, the house was built in 1936 and so we had to wait for them to close the road and dig up the pavement and our drive. There is no charge for consumers to do this, but quite a backlog to wait to get it done, Spectra helped to chase them up and completed all of the requests and paperwork. We were having 9 panels, over 3 roof sections 2 batteries and a 5KW Inverter, the scaffolders came first and did a great job of putting it up, including an afternoons delay whilst we got someone to remove a wasp nest. The Spectra installers came on a Friday, there were two electricans and two panel installers, they arrived at 9:00 and were on their way at 3:30 with everything clean tidy, the wiring and installation looks especially neat and free solar was power coming into the house. They made sure we had the app set up and we were logged in and on Monday we called in and Jonathan finished setting it up and gave us the passwords. The scaffolding stayed for a week to ensure there were no issues and then they took it down in a morning, they hadn't anchored it into the brick work so there was no patching needed to be done and you wouldn't know it had been there. Spectra sent us all the documentation and we have spoken once just to understand a bit more about the app. We were already with Octopus Energy and after a couple of calls they set up the Export tarrif and it was working within 5 days. If we had been able to have 3 Phase Power the whole thing would have only taken about a month, still we now have a brand new supply, which apparently would have had to have been done at some point. We have already recommended Spectra Solar to some friends and witout hestiation would recommend them to other people.
Just shy of a week so far with my PV installation from Spectra, and they've been brilliant. From the very start the comms were spot on; leading through the initial quote; then roof survey and ultimately arranging the scaffolding and finally the install. Have no complaints about anything. I'm fairly technical so have been asking lots of questions and Jonathan has been more than happy to oblige by mitherings :-) All the work was done to a very high standard - from the proper roof tile installation (ie notching for the brackets - some cowboys apparantly skip this!), to suggesting a better route to my garage for the PV cables on the day, and touch wood, zero issues to report. Everything is working perfectly. IF I did have an issue, I'm confident they would help me with no hesitation. I did a lot of research, and obtained various quotes prior to choosing Spectra I would absolutely recommend them. Not only extremely competitive price-wise, but the lads who came to do the install clearly took pride in their work.
Spectra Solar have just completed the installation of our new Sun Sync solar system. Spectra team have completed all of the project and carried out a great job from the initial sales meeting and site survey and the installation team worked hard and the quality of the work was excellent. I would thoroughly recommend Spectra Solar for your Solar system. Mike Collins
I had Spectra install my PV and battery system on the 23rd July. Everything from start (quote from Jonathan), visit from Mike, the girls in the office (particularly Ellie who i dealt with a few times), and the installation team was fantastic. Liam the electrician did a superb job of wiring up, I’ve never seen such a tidy install! They were really honest, friendly and did a cracking job. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these guys. I’m now happily generating enough to power the house and fill my batteries with a little to export too. Very happy.
We can't fault the service we've received from Spectra. From the initial consultation and follow up calls to discuss a potential plan/quote and technical questions, through the survey stage and to the installation then post sales queries - they've been superb. Our quote was provided by Jonathan who helped us to understand everything and made it really clear about what we were investing in, how it works and what it could do for us. Really knows his stuff when it comes to solar. The survey was thorough - letting us know the layout of our panels, where the additional equipment would be installed along with how and where cabling would be run through the roof etc. The office support came from Ellie who was great in organising our scaffolding, payments, documentation and anything else we needed help with. We received everything when Ellie said we would including post installation (certification etc) and she was great in terms of returning calls or following up on our questions. The fitters - including the electrician - were brilliant on the day. Having recently completed a large extension/refurb on our house we were concerned about potential damage or issues as a result of having a solar installation. We needn't have worried - the quality of their work is excellent and they've done such a neat job. We were really, really impressed - especially as they had to deal with a difficult configuration on our property. Finally, the system itself. We had 19 solar panels - 7 on the front and 12 on the back, 2 x 5kw battery and an 8kw inverter. On the first full day it went live (19/07/24) it generated 45kwh ! The system is working great as it easily covers our daily usage, our batteries are constantly full and we're sending plenty back to the grid which we will shortly start getting paid for. Still learning the ropes when it comes to using the system but all going well so far. Overall, we're glad we decided to go ahead with a solar system and even happier we went with Spectra Solar Ltd. Don't often write a review but in this case I thought Spectra deserved it for the 5 star service they have provided us. Thank you Spectra Solar Ltd!
I cannot say enough good things about Spectra Solar. From the initial call to the final installation, everything was top-notch. The customer service team was friendly and knowledgeable, answering all of my questions and guiding me through the process. The installation crew was professional and efficient, completing the job in a timely manner. I am thrilled with the results of my solar panels. Not only do they look great on my roof, but they are also saving me money on my energy bills. I love knowing that I am using clean, renewable energy to power my home. Overall, I would highly recommend Spectra Solar to anyone looking to make the switch to solar energy. Their team is truly brilliant and I couldn't be happier with my experience.
When I moved to my new home in Wigan, I was really pleased to have Solar Panels and expected to benefit greatly from the generated electricity they would export. Unfortunately, I soon found out that my Solar System was very inefficient and the generated electricity was too low. The output was so low, to the extent that Shell Energy, now called Octopus, would question my submission and ask for photographic proof of the readings. I contacted “SPECTRA SOLAR”, spoke to Jonathan, explained the problem and an appointment was made to have the Solar System inspected by one of their engineers. On the appointed day Shaun arrived, inspected the system and confirmed that there was a fault and the generated electricity was well below the expected level. To identify the fault, Shaun replaced first the generation meter and when he established that the meter was not the problem he replaced the Invertor. Now everything works fine. During my dealings with “SPECTRA”, I found both Jonathan and Shaun very professional, helpful and always taking time to explain in layman’s terms. I therefore, cannot praise “SPECTRA SOLAR” and it’s team enough and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
The advice was excellent and they only sold me what I needed and were very good at judging what would be correct for my house . Pre and post comms were excellent Install team were excellent Everything was easy
Top quality job from Top quality people !! The whole experience was 100% from start to finish. They delivered a top quality system at a very fair price with no "pushy" sales tactics. Every question i had was answered quickly and with a lot of experience and knowledge. I can't recommend them enough !!
Never got back to me in spite of their promises to do so
This is a really great company. I've purchased my PV panels and battery from them and they are really great from start to finish. I think they are great value for money and they really look after you. Would highly recommend.
Spectra provide an outstanding level of service. I received a prompt and detailed quote to my enquiry, an honest and instructive site visit, an installation plan with dates they adhered to, really good polite and helpful guys (their own employees, not sub-contractors) for the install, and finally prompt documentation which enabled me to set up the correct tariffs with Octopus. I cannot fault them.
Absolutely fantastic company to deal with. We obtained a few quotes from different companies but these guys really shone through! Far more knowledgeable and customer focused than others, they went above and beyond from the initial quotation until commissioning. Installation was completed within a day and as an electrician and previously a solar installer myself, I can say the quality of workmanship is 5* Wouldn't hesitate in recommending Spectra to anyone wanting solar and battery storage installed on their property.
Excellent from start to finish, I contacted them based on online reviews and they didn't disappoint. After a brief conversation about my property and needs they sent over 2 well documented quotes that contained everything I could possibly want to know and left it with me, there was no pushy sales or constant follow up emails, the ball was completely left with me. After contacting them to agree to go ahead with the installation, a survey was quickly dealt with by one of their agents. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, quickly helped identify where things would be installed and how things on the day would go. The office team dealt with everything very quickly and kept us informed about what was going on and what we needed to do. On the day of the install the team showed up around 8am and where done around 5pm. The were very friendly and professional and I couldn't praise them more. After sales were great, there was a slight issue with the inverter which was dealt with the same day I contacted them. Honestly, I cannot praise this company enough and would recommended them to everyone.
Fantastic family run company. Mike and Jonathan always have time for me when I call or text. Months after installation they still help me out. Even got my parents to use them for their own install. Highly recommended.
After a thorough survey the final quotation came through and a date set for the installation - A Crist November day, down to -2C when the guys started to install the panels - 2 on the outside, one inside doing the electrics - all very efficient, and neat/tidy - a great installation, and I look forward to gaaining the benefits from the installation, and future cost savings. Altogether very competitively priced, great service and support all the way through the process.
Bit late this but better than never! Engaged Spectra earlier this year and was very pleased with the whole process from arranging the initial quote through installation and onto a relatively small amount of aftercare (specifically me asking them daft questions). Highly recommended from me!
After having spoken to several other companies I came across Spectra, not only did they better the price of the others, they offered far longer warranties on the equipment. I’ve just had the system installed and am extremely impressed. Their customer service is excellent
I tend to do a lot of research before I do any project - especially one of this expense so I did spend weeks trawling the internet and watching videos, reading articles and visiting government websites. I had three companies come and visit me all of which were local to me and from Yorkshire (normally a must for me).... then I rang Spectra and the friendly voice on the phone put me through to Jonathan. All I can say is that from that moment I felt that Jonathan placed me in safe hands - he guided me through the process and it became pretty clear that two of the three quotes I'd had were very much focused on getting a quick install and ease for them - not what was right for me. Jonathan and his team did an amazing job - they explained everything, gave me the options I wanted and did exactly as they said they would - on time for the scaffolding, the installation took two days and the monitoring was a breeze. A full set of documents came through one week after the installation was complete and I feel very grateful for having selected Spectra rather than some of my friends who had selected companies not as honest (and some not in business anymore). I had 16 solar panels installed on a slate roof, with bird and vermin protection, in the loft was an inventor by Lux and 3 x 3.2kw batteries then an external fuse box in white to match the electricity and gas boxes - perfect! The icing on the cake was the tree certificate I received today which was a really nice gesture to show how much they care for the customer and the environment. Highly recommended and I will be using them again when I change to an electric vehicle and to add more batteries at a later stage!
The lads turned up at 8:30 and got right onto it. The weather was very very windy, but this didn’t stop the panel lads. The electrician doing the work mostly inside was on the go all day. The work was completed and every Thing tidy by approx 4pm. Tested the system as working before leaving. The only comment I would make is not supplying the app details to me there and then, but instead only supplying these on payment in full. I can only assume they have a reason for this. Otherwise on price, the quality of the work, and dealing with Jonathan and the team has been a a pleasure and I would recommend. For info spectra under cut 4 other company’s I got in for quotes and even beat their original quote from June 22. Well done and thanks
From initial quote, to survey, then fitting, I found everybody involved very professional and knowledgeable. Every arrival was bang on time as promised, the job was done to a high standard by conscientious fitters and an electrician. Once fitted and tested the system works perfectly and was monitored by them just in case. The after sales service has also been excellent. Any queries you have are very knowledgeably dealt with. A very good experience, and all at a great price. Thank you.
What a great experience with the Spectra Solar team. Always ready to answer my many questions and no pushy sales. Their quality and price do the talking so there's no need for other tactics. Great installation by the team and all tidy! Looking forward to seeing the benefits, albeit in better weather than today (heavy rain!)
I've had a the best experience with Spectra Solar team, whenever I've a question they contact me ASAP. Jonathan has gone through all the process with me and found the right system for me. The installers were professional and nice. I'm really happy with the result. Thank you
Spectra did a good job with my solar and battery install and passed on some savings from their original quote.
They were recommended by one our friends and must say that they were very professional. The job was scheduled months in advanced and completed on time. The job was completed in one day, the scaffolding guys were very good and quick. Really pleased with the results and it helps as they are local. Jonathan and his team, many thanks to a job well done.
We researched several companies and got quotes from 3. Spectra Solar gave us a clear and concise quote and Jonathan in the office was more than happy to answer all our questions in detail, and always contactable. We were kept informed on installation date and the scaffolding team were great before and after installation. The job was completed in a day , team of installers were brilliant , explained everything during the day. Overall I would highly recommend Spectra solar for anyone interested in getting solar panels/batteries fitted. Phil & Clare Moulsdale
Where to start? From the very first phone call, answered by a human who listened to concerns regarding three other quotes I'd received and sent out a surveyor the very same week who reassured and did a full in depth survey not a tick box sales pitch then sent me the full breakdown of everything involved, costs, performance expectations etc.. brilliant. Then after agreement they did all the application to the grid, keeping me informed all along.. Date for installation set.. just a few months since initial contact and the team turned up prompt on the day despite the foul weather.. they liased with scaffolding prior to and as said despite the foul weather just got on with what can only be described as a perfect, neat tidy installation.. no fuss, respectful of property and today is our first day of zero grid import.. Recommended fully. If only to include in other quotes but a tip from me, compare the goods not just the price. Good old fashioned service received and appreciated. Thank you.
Spectra Solar fitted my Solar and battery system last week. What a fantastic company with amazing service at every level. I am extremely happy with the solar system and would recommend Spectra to anyone considering investing in this technology.
Like many other reviewers I had been in contact with several solar companies before coming across Spectra and the difference is immediately obvious. Instead of being pushy and sales focused it's clear that Jonathan and Mike REALLY know their stuff (to whatever technical level you're interested in) and are passionate about what they do. Within the first phone call with Jonathan I was decided to go with them and they got straight on with arranging everything to fit around my reroof. Every email was responded to promptly and every deadline was met. The lads who did the install were punctual, polite and tidy and I couldn't be more impressed with my system. To top it off the price was in the bottom quarter of quotes I got and the system is much better with more panels than the other quotes. Since the install my daily electric usage including the standing charge rarely goes past 55p a day (including the days with the washing machine on several times) and I'm regularly exporting over 100kwh a week on top of everything I'm using. I wish I'd done this sooner! I'm an absolute nerd so had plenty of lengthy and detailed technical discussions with both Jonathan and Mike and every question I had was answered thoroughly. Highly recommend Spectra Solar - 12/10!
Very professional company and delivered exactly what they said they would,very helpful and tidy workers
Excellent communication would highly recommend spectre Solar excellent standard of work from start to finish
Well, what can I say! A*! From start to finish Jonathan and the team have been amazing. The installation team where very friendly and tidy, also considerate as on the day of install, unfortunetly, I had a family funeral to attend in the afternoon. They was accommodating, and went through all questions they would have needed answers for throughout the day all in the morning instead, explained everything. Upon my return in the late afternoon, the job was completed to high standards. It is a big expensive soalr panels and battery storage, but I can assure you, I felt 100% in safe hands throughout the entire processes. Thank you again all, best regards, Dan & Jen
Very happy I went with Spectra Solar. The lads worked so hard all day and got in completed on the same day. Customer service is great and knowledgable, any issues just ring them. They were also very competitive with the quote and reliable.
We must have spoken to 10+ companies to install our solar/battery solution. It was much harder than we thought, even though we had a system installed at a previous house so had a rough idea what we wanted. Most companies were quite sales based and you couldn't always get the answers you wanted, or you got an answer and you weren't convinced. Then we came across Spectra - I hadn't initially seen them as they weren't in our immediate area. From first contact with Spectra, Jonathan was on the phone, with technical detail, for as long as you needed, giving ideas and suggestions. There was no hard sell or sales pitch, just advice - so refreshing - and great value too. And they really knew what they were talking about. We had 5.88kW of panels installed alongside 19.2Kwh of battery storage, plus an Eddi to take some excess power to the hot tank. They turned up when they said they would, Jordan & team didn't stop all day, did a really tidy job and cleaned up after themselves. The system is outperforming the guidance output, and is giving us lots of free electricity and hot water. Since it was put in 6 days ago, we've spent about 25p on actual electric and not had to heat the hot tank with the gas boiler at all. The Lux app & web portal monitoring are excellent. Spectra are also really responsive and helpful for anything you need - a great company and would not hesitate to recommend!
I've had my 7kw, 18 panel solar installation with a 4.8kw battery and solar iboost for my hot water tank for a year now. Firstly, I chose Spectra Solar as they were so helpful and got back to me with any queries or questions I had. Their pricing was excellent in comparison to others with no pressure to sign up at all as they aren't sales people, just very helpful. My bills for both gas and electricity in 2021/22 were about £1,400 before the panels were installed. After the installation and for the year 2022/23 they have been £1,825, bearing in mind I would of paid about £2,800 (estimated, but could easily be higher), especially as the daily charge has gone up so much (about £200 for the year) as well as the cost of the electricity and gas. I include gas as the iboost helps to heat my hot water tank instead of the gas boiler, so I save on some gas. I will be getting a cheque back from what I've exported of £400 from Eon as they are now paying 16.5 pence per Kw/H. Therefore, I calculate I've saved about £1,375 in the first year, which I'm very happy with. I would highly recommend Spectra Solar. Below was my review from a year ago. I had my solar panels, batteries and iboost fitted today and it all looks very tidy and professional. Well done to all the fitters, who were very polite and got on with the job. From first sending my enquiry to Spectra Solar, Mike and Emma in the office got in touch with me straight away. I was very impressed how quickly they responded to any questions and were available to speak too. The prices on their website made comparing quotes easy, and they were better value than some other companies I contacted. After agreeing I would go ahead, they sent someone out to make sure all was ok before the system was installed. Within a short timeframe a date was arranged and they came when they said they would. It’s been hassle free and I am very pleased with the service they have provided. Well done to all at Spectra Solar, and yes, I would recommend them to anyone.
As with all the other reviewers I cannot recommend this company highly enough. Not only did they offer me the best price for the system I wanted, by several thousand pounds so it certainly pays to shop around, all the contacts I have had, and the service I have received, and continue to receive, have been nothing less than excellent. I could go on but if you're looking to fit solar panels please give these guys a call, you won't regret it.
After months and hours of investigation several firms later for Solar and battery installation we came across Spectra Solar. The in depth analysis of what solar and battery would generate for value was the best report we had received by far. Once we gave the go-a -head with no upfront charges the installation was the best quality and I'm not an easiest person to please. Well Done Spectra Solar and thanks again highly recommended, keep up the great team work.
I made a huge error in reading my solar meter due to an eye problem. The company dealt with my original enquiry professionally and I felt happy and reassured to be dealing with them. When I realised my error they again were courteous and helpful, and I will not hesitate to use them if I ever need help in the future. Such customer service needs to be mentioned even if I ended up with no work to be done. My original feeling of being happy to have found such a company is even stronger.
5 Stars for Spectra Solar From the initial contact to after sales support, Spectra Solar were absolutely 1st class. There were no pushy sale tactics, just an online quote, then it was left up to me. Jack did the design and it was spot on, no changes were necessary when the surveyor came out, so the quoted price stayed the same. The guys just got on with it but the installation was hampered by a bees nest in a chimney, no problem, they worked on the other side of the roof and came back another day early in the morning when the bees were less active. Liam did the electrical installation, it was 1st class, as an electrician myself I was impressed how neat and tidy everything was. And finally after sales support, I was helped by Johnathan to resolve a problem after Octopus Energy replaced our smart meters but got the current transformer the wrong way round. I would highly recommend Spectra Solar to anyone considering a solar system.
I had lots of quotations for a solar installation. Spectra were one of the cheapest but they also made me feel reassured due to their knowledge and experience. My system of 20 panels was installed yesterday and I can't fault their service. No salesmen so no pressure selling, this is a family run business who I believe values their customers and the quality of their work.
Excellent Service . Very efficient, approachable and helpful . From my initial phone call to installation the company did everything they said they were going to do . The surveyor was knowledgable , the scaffolders were courteous and friendly and the installation team worked hard to get the job done in a day . The team listened to all my requests and did a very neat job . I had some concerns as I have external insulation which can be delicate but this was not a problem . Jonathon has patiently answered all of my questions , Billy the scaffolder was helpful , Jordan did a really neat job and smiled all the way through and Brett and colleague worked very hard . I feel I have quite a bit to learn about how to get best value from the system as its only just been installed but to date would score 11/ 10.
Fantastic company, helpful, friendly and fair. Gave me some really good advice helping me to choose the right system for our needs. Jonathan really knows the market and had some great advice. The lads turned up on time and worked like Trojans to get the job finished. Even their scaffold subcontractor was really helpful modifying the scaffold as an extra to allow some last minute chimney works. I've now kept my original 10 year old solar panels but they re wired them to resolve a water ingress problem. Did a really neat job, finished with well fitted bird mesh protection. We also had a 15 KW battery storage installed with separate inverter allowing me to store spare solar power and also charge on cheap overnight electricity. Coupled with the EV charger they installed I am now saving an average of £8.00 per day over my old bills.
EXCELLENT customer service. GREAT price. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this family business
I am overall very pleased with the Solar Panel setup that Spectra Solar quoted, then fitted. Out of several quotes, they were the company that took in my requirements and were very professional throughout. The system (Solar Panels + Battery) they installed gives me near real time stats and graphs for energy consumption / generation (+ other geeky stats) on my phone + website and provides this historically too. The installation didn't quite go perfectly (the local scaffolders they used in our area cracked a tile) - however Spectra Solar followed up and ensured the tile was replaced. Overall, I would recommend this company, and the inverter they supplied (luxpowertek).
Very happy with the system , as well as getting the latest panels the whole job was done in less than a day 😀
I first looked at solar when the local authority sent a flyer round. So I looked at that then got 3 other companies to quote including Spectra. Spectra were head and shoulders better with the explanation on how things worked in their quote and because they don’t employ salespeople the price was competitive and they wern’t pushy. The survey was straight forward and on time. The whole insulation took just one day. A week in to it early March I have halved my electric bill.
I did not buy from this firm. But asked them for advice about my system. I had emails and a hour long phone call, all for free, Giving me lots of advice about my system. I wish I had bought my system from this firm instead of the cowboys I used from Leeds. Who once they had my money they wouldn't give me the time of day. The guys I spoke to were Very knowledgeable and professional. Thanks again 10/10.
Workmen arrived on time, very pleasant and worked throughout with a professional manner answering any queries.
Spectra Solar installed my battery storage and solar panels with no fuss or issues. They provided a brilliant service from first contact. The installation looks very good.
An absolute please to deal with
Recently had a Solar Panel and battery storage system installed by Spectra Solar. The whole process from start to finish was excellent. I found them prompt, competitively priced, knowledgeable and I am very happy with the system they recommended and installed. Highly recommended.
Nice friendly trio of installers who very patiently explained each aspect of the installation. Good follow up with the head office.
Great service and very patient in responding to the numerous questions I had before I could make a decision. Installers very professional and courteous.
Getting solar and batteries installed is a big, expensive decision, so not one to be taken lightly. After weeks of research and contacting every company that would service our area, I just got a good feeling about Spectra. They were the only company that sounded like they actually knew what they were talking about and it wasn't just a salesperson who had been on a training course. I was able to ask very technical questions and get reliable answers. From first contact all the way through to installation, communication was excellent. The install day went very well. They arrived bang on time and got straight on with it. Very friendly crew who were very professional and had great attention to detail. Within a day the whole system was up and running. Even though I did have a fault with my inverter 1 week later (just a dodgy unit..which I've been told is only 1 of 3 out of the hundreds they have installed), within 48 hours of me contacting them (on the weekend) I had a brand new inverter installed within 30 minutes. No quibble, no fuss. I really cannot rate these guys high enough. Do not go with a big national company. You are just another number to them. Go with Spectra Solar and you will not be disappointed as they actually career about their customers. Thanks very much guys.
Spectra Solar panels ,I found them on an internet search and noted good reviews. Good pre install visit and comprehensive technical info and itemised quote. Staff all friendly and efficient including the office staff. The technicians and fitters were pleasant, punctual and efficient .They did a good install and left the property tidy. I am very happy with the standard of the equipment and their work. I would recommend them , and in fact already have ! Peter Southern , Bolton
Excellent service from initial contact to the installation. I can certainly recommend this firm who when they say they are going to do something, they actually do it.
From my initial enquiry to install completion these guys have been great. Jonny for one has taken time to explain things in detail for me and believe me I’ve asked lots of questions. The lads that carried out the install, Brett,Jordan and Wayne arrived on time and got right to it, Installing in temperatures of -2! (Dec 15 install) Again bombarded with questions (sorry lads) Don’t be afraid to give these guys a try. 5 stars from me ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Just had our system installed, process was smooth from start to finish, installation was exactly as expected, job is neat and tidy, electrician took time to get the cables hidden from view in a crawl space we have. Took some time to get the quote but every solar company is busy at moment and at least Spectra gave us a quote, several others wouldn't even return calls or quote. Can't fault them, thanks again!
Contacted spectra solar when looking around. I found them the easiest to deal with and offered no nonsense good advice without the hard sell. Install went ahead as promised on time no mess or dramas. Pricing was also fair and highly recommended ti talk to if your thinking of solar install.
We had our solar panels fitted last Friday and couldn’t be happier with the service received and the installation. After having a quote from a different company earlier in the year, we are pleased to have waited and gone with Spectra. Also, the ease process of getting the quote with no fuss or constant cold sales calls 👍. Would be more than happy to recommend to friends and family
Although we live way outside Solar Spectra's normal area, they responded very quickly to our plea for help when our inverter failed. A very professional and knowledgeable engineer arrived at the time arranged and, as requested, very efficiently changed the inverter for a better model with a longer guarantee. All working fine now.
Amazing. Best price I found as well.
Really good service from start to finish and thoroughly recommendable.
A friendly service at a price that was much lower than I expected.
Excellent product, (including - "in roof" solar panels and battery storage etc). Great installation team, completed and handed over in just one day, despite poor weather conditions. All certificates and paperwork supplied. From Quote to Survey then Installation, I can't fault them. An excellent local company, I would highly recommend.
I contacted a number of companies and this one stood out. Great service from quote to install. Brilliant team of people. Today I had my 6 x 405W + 4.8KW battery installed. Great value for money as well.
I had an issue with my batteries and with the set up of our panels and batteries. The original installer of our system had gone out of business and I struggled to find a reliable company that could offer repairs and maintenance. Fortunately I found Spectra Solar and they came to my assistance. They quickly sent an engineer and he provided an excellent service. I would gladly recommend Spectra Solar to anyone.
The guys were great all working and a nice neat job no cables hanging around no holes in roof felt cables threaded up overlap many thanks to Spectra Solar
The office service for quotes, advice and admin was great. The surveyor was very knowledgeable and took time to explain everything. The installation team were fantastic - polite, professional, left the site clean and tidy and explained everything.
Great Company 👍 fitting is very professional and easy to talk to about any questions
This company was excellent. Best price and great quality. (I did my research.)
Excellent experience. They know what they are doing! From the ladies answering queries to the fitters on site to Mike dealing with the technical side - all good. Solid recommendation from me.
Everyone has been helpful and knowledgeable, from the quote to the office to the scaffolders to the solar panel fitting. Now booked for a car charging station to be installed. Everything explained in a clear way. Thank you team !
Mike and his team provided excellent advice and service with no sales push at all. All questions were answered and useful advice given. Just had the system installed and didn't use the grid yesterday :) Charged my car for a while and used some big appliances. Batteries (7KW) are great and I would say a must get item. Only my first day with the system but as far as installation, advice, non pushy sales, Spectra have been excellent. The kit has good reviews and appears to be very good quality PLUS Reading other customer reviews I am very confident that should anything go wrong with the system, they will be there to fix asap Highly recommended
Very competitive quote, fast install and everyone I dealt with was very helpful and professional. Would definately recommend.
Great service from the installation team who took great care during the installation process. And the app on my phone is a bonus to check on how much power its producing.
I searched for an installation company and found Spectra’s site. Loads of useful information and advice. From my first contact with the team, they were helpful, knowledgeable and nice to deal with. There are no up front charges and payment is on completion. The installation team were first class and completed on time. The components are excellent quality and the system is performing well. I have happily recommended Mike and his team at Spectra to several of my friends.
Spectra installed an inverter and a set of batteries in my home. They talked through my exact requirements including the type of equipment I wanted, battery capacity etc. And the finished the whole install in under a day. Professional and friendly. Plus the kit is good quality and does exactly what I want it to do. They even spotted some problems with my seven year old solar installation (not installed by Spectra) and are fixing them as part of their install.
Excellent service, advised us clearly with all of our questions and the installation is a neat and tidy job the lads conducted themselves very professionally and wow the panels are working better than I expected. Highly recommend Mike and the team
Spectra Solar provided a great service and fair price installing a solar pv system with battery in June 2022. Very happy with the solar generation which even on cloudy days provides ample electricity for our needs, will be interesting to see what the figures are like during winter.
I dealt with spectra and Mike on the purchased 7kwh of pylontech solar batteries, communication was allways prompt and timely and delivered everything as promised. They went above and beyond to deliver on time. Great experience would recommend.
Very professional team of people, From quotation to installation. After accepting the proposal a date was agreed. The team arrived on time and had the system up and running in about 6hrs. I would recommend this company to anyone.
Spectra solar visited me this morning to investigate my non working solar system. In less than one hour the problem was sorted. The engineer was very pleasant and very thorough, testing all the components and quickly locating the problem, which was a faulty generation metre. A new metre was fitted and we are generating electricity once more. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Spectra to anybody. The cost was very reasonable as well. I am very pleased and relieved that it didn't cost me an arm and a leg. Thank you Shaun and Emma for a great service.
Apart from some slight issues with scaffolding, out of their control, everything went as planned. Even though they were delayed by the scaffolding problem they kept me fully aware of progress and resolved all the issues. They worked later than usual to ensure the job was finished on the day. They worked hard, were very polite and cleaned up at the end of the day. Mike and Emma in the office were helpful and easy to talk to and dealt with the problems well. System is working well and feeding into the Grid and earning it's way.
Solar and batteries installed, great service from initial contact to installation. Mike was very helpful and guided me through the process and options, no pressure salesman talk. Installation was completed on time and the installation team was very professional. I would highly recommend Spectra Solar.
5 Star performance and service on all fronts thank you. Would highly recommend and use again.
Excellent service and attention to detail. Mike and the team were professional, knowledgeable and patient with our million questions! Quality installation for a very reasonable price. We chose Spectra Solar because we wanted a company we would feel comfortable and confident contacting if we had any follow up issues or queries and we are entirely happy we made the right choice. They take pride in their work and are experts in their field. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to everyone. Five star service 🌟.
Spectra Solar was great to deal with from the initial contact all the way through to the installation of solar PV system with battery storage for our home (on both front and rear roofs). It was such a pleasure working with Mike. He always wanted us to be happy with the finished product and he worked diligently to make that happen. We approached 10 companies for quotes and Spectra Solar's represented the best value for money and was also quickly delivered (initial contact on 6th Mar 2022, installation on 13th May 2022 - would be sooner, but we were on holidays for a couple of weeks!). Mike and his contractors showed up on time, worked hard, cleaned up, and completed the work in a timely and professional manner. We are very happy with the end result, and our installation is performing very well. We would definitely recommend Spectra Solar and would use them again ourselves should the need arise in the future.
We are very impressed with the level of service an value. Mike gave us sound advice we are highly recommending Spectra solar to all our family and friends very fast and perfect service. Will be using them soon for our garage add on. Thank you 100%✓
The fitters from Spectra Solar were polite and respectful, they kept us up to date right throughout the installation We are very pleased with our Solar panel system and we went off grid as soon as it was turned on, even though it was raining at the time, the whole process from first contact through to completion was pain free, thanks again to Mike and his team
Arrived on time for the survey and the installation and this is very important to me. Never any fuss and everything went to plan. Very happy so far with the results from the panels. Highly recommended with no hesitation.
Mike and his colleagues from Spectra Solar Ltd installed our solar system. Arrived on time even though I live a distance away. Truly a proffessional team, hard working and motivated. Best of all, no rip off quotes. No upfront payments, which thier competitors wanted between 10% and 50%. Overall a great experience. If you want quality work at very competitive prices look no further. Recommended to all... Brian and Mandy Prestatyn.
This isn't an installation review - more just an opportunity to mention that, Mike, who handled my myriad of questions, was very direct & honest & not at all "salesy". A real breath of fresh air to hear someone more interested in what's best for you, rather than them.
We had spectra solar ltd do work for us today, i can honestly say i would recommend them to all my friends, their workmanship was brilliant, very efficent, very proffesional.
Thankyou for fitting the panels on my house. I will recommend you to some of my friends who are wanting solar panels installed aswell 😁
