Leeds Solar customers often praise the company for clear communication, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and tidy, high-standard installation work. Several reviewers mention being kept informed and having questions answered, while others report good aftercare and support with queries after installation. A few reviewers describe the company as helpful from the first enquiry through to completion. However, one reviewer reports very poor customer service and aftercare, saying an inverter was not replaced and a phone call was hung up on. Another describes repeated missed battery delivery dates and having to chase for updates, and a third says a salesperson repeatedly interrupted them when they tried to get quote information.
Excellent and clear communication. Speaks clearly and listens to requirements with patience.
Leeds Solar have provided me with a great installation on my old house, and on our office roof. We are having them come back to do our new house later this year. You can't beat actual experience. They have been operating for a long time and have learned all the lessons, so I can trust that I am in good hands.
I started looking into solar energy a couple of years ago thinking that it might be a good way to avoid future rises in electricity bills. This year, I decided to take my research to a new level and started reading about how solar systems actually worked, whether a battery was worthwhile and could it even lead to generating an income by reselling excess power? I looked at different types of panels, batteries and inverters. Which performed best, guarantees and user recommendations. I built up a list of what I wanted. Then comes the hard part. Who do you use that can do the job that you really want? It's amazing how many companies claim to be able to instal for free (although you never own anything any may well have trouble selling your property as you don't own the equipment), to those who quote prices that sound too good to be true and usually are. I started with the obvious choice. Why not use your energy company? Thousands of sales, relatively cheap and one phone call away. Then comes the but. And it's a big but. Oh … we only have one type of panel. No, it doesn't provide the output of many of the newer panels. Battery - Of course. You can have any brand you want as long as it is the single model that we stock. So, sit back and look through what local people recommend from a local firm. A firm that didn't just start when panels suddenly became popular but has a reputation based on a couple of decades of experience. I scanned the website for Leeds Solar and was impressed by the variety of installations and the vast array of positive reviews. After one simple email, a very knowledgeable guy came round the same week to have a look a what could be done for me. I knew what I ideally wanted and was pleasantly surprised when he agreed with my assessment and the measurements allowed me to have the quantity of panels that I required and battery backup in my chosen location. I was given many choices and everything was a fixed price. There are no "special" offers or discounts if you sign up the same day etc that you see from less reputable companies. The price list is clear and provides options from modest budgets to those that would like to survive a zombie apocalypse off-grid. I chose somewhere in the middle. Panels on the front and rear of my property with a large capacity battery and the ability to continue if the power grid goes offline. It will take me slightly longer to break even but the equipment comes with manufacturer warranties that will last long after I am gone. The feed in tariffs from most energy suppliers will also give a nice bonus for three quarters of the year. Installation was literally two weeks after the order. You don't have to pay the full cost up front which allows for peace of mind knowing that you pay the final chunk when the system is up and running. Scaffolding was put up in a matter of hours by a great team (it was also taken down a couple of days after the installation rather than being left for weeks). The installation team did a fabulous job. The panels were installed perfectly, to millimetre precision and perfectly aligned on my roof. Even the original builders of my house couldn't have done a better job. The electrical work was performed to exacting standards. Very tidy cabling and the equipment installation just looks like something from a glossy magazine. Each day, any mess from that day was cleaned up. Everyone was friendly and polite. Nothing was too much trouble. I now have a fully functional system that I can monitor and adjust from a very nice app on my phone. I can honestly say that I would recommend Leeds Solar to anybody considering future proofing energy prices or wanting to be more environmentally friendly. I get no commission of kickbacks from writing this review. I just felt it necessary to provide some positive feedback for an absolutely amazing job from the team. Well done guys and thank you so much!
Very poor customer service and aftercare. The inverter stopped working and they have failed to replace it despite taking the money for it. Technician attended and said there was another issue which I am still waiting to hear about. Poor communication. The person answering the phone today hung up on me. Avoid at all cost.
Leeds solar have installed two solar pv systems with battery back up at our house. They also installed an EV charger. Their office based staff and installation team for the 2nd installation were great, any issues were quickly resolved leaving a neat and tidy install.
The installation was great, but everything afterward was a let-down. I was given several different delivery dates for my battery, none of which happened, and every update only came after I chased — multiple times, on multiple days. There was no proactive communication, no clear answers, and no real accountability from Leeds Solar throughout the delays. After such a smooth installation, the poor follow-up service was really frustrating and not what I expected. The issue is finally resolved, but the experience definitely took the shine off what started as a very positive job.
Leeds Solar recently installed 6kw solar panels and a battery to my property. Leeds Solar were recommended by friend however we still took quotes from three other companies before deciding on Leeds Solar. The decision was an easy one as Leeds Solar not only provided a very competitive quote their customer service was streets ahead of the other companies. They were the only company to actually visit our property and look at the suitability of the roof. They also spent time discussing our electricity use and working out what size panel array / battery would work best for us. While other companies tried to upsell or just give us a standard package, Leeds Solar worked to get a solution that was bespoke to our needs. Once we agreed to use them their communication was excellent and the work was carried out quickly and to a high standard. We have also found their aftercare to be excellent and they have responded to any queries we have had quickly and professionally. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is considering getting solar.
It's been nine years since we had 4kW of PV installed on our bungalow roof in Guiseley. It was a decision we never regretted, and I'm sure we couldn't have found a better company than Leeds Solar to do the work. Highly recommended.
Tried to get some info on a quote, sales guy wouldn't stop interrupting me. Poor experience straight from the start.
We had great service from Leeds Solar fitting integrated solar panels into our new roof on our 1920's house, and installing a battery. They also helped sorted out some other electrical issues for us in which was quite a complicated project. They were extremely helpful and knowledgeable and we'd definitely recommend them.
We had our solar panels and battery fitted by Leeds Solar three years ago. Can’t understand why we’ve not posted a review earlier but I guess better late than never. They are one of the rare companies whose customer service remains excellent during the quoting stage, through installation and during the aftercare. I’ve just spoken with Simon about a technical glitch caused by a different electrician doing some separate work yesterday and not only was he able to help me immediately in a professional manner (with none of the condescension that women often are subjected to) but he had a look at our system and made some additional optimisations. All of this nearly 3 years after installation. Solar is much more complicated than we expected it to be but with such top class technical support our system works seamlessly. We are considering adding another battery in the near future and will not hesitate to use Leeds Solar for this work. Thanks guys, we really appreciate such fantastic customer service.
Leeds Solar were recommended to me by a friend and I was really impressed with the level of service from beginning to end. They responded to requests and questions and provided all the required documentation and information promptly. From quote to installation happened in less than a month and everyone I met and talked to were lovely and very helpful. I think their prices and the advice and guidance they gave are great value and the guys who came and fitted everything were fabulous. I can recommend them to anyone thinking of going down the solar route.
We were very pleased, it was problem free from start to finish. We didn't have to wait long for the installation, which was completed within two days. Thanks a lot.
I wasn’t sure about replacing the old panels with a newer more efficient array for fear of loosing the feed in tariff, but Leeds Solar took the old panels for reuse in community projects, installed new ones with half routed through a separate inverter to keep the FiT at the agreed level and added a battery, all integrated and working as predicted. Job done!
Very happy with our solar panels, from the initial survey and advice on what made most sense for our roof orientation etc., to helpful and friendly communication throughout, a prompt installation, and good follow up availability for my queries and certificates etc. Leeds Solar were recommended to us and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them too.
Such a great company to deal with, friendly staff and excellent customer service 👏
Leeds Solar are brilliant! Before, during & after installation they are courteous, knowledgeable and helpful. The options around solar energy can be a bit complicated but they make it very straightforward to understand what system is best for you. They also provide support to get the most out of the system after it has been installed too. The installation is to a very high standard and they work with you to get the details right and explain the best installation options. Highly recommended!
I now have 19 battery-backed panels generating for me so doubly enjoying the periods of Autumn sunshine. Installed back in August by Leeds Solar, along with an EV charger, they have been operating well and I'm now fully on the appropriate Octopus tariffs so fully reaping the benefits. From survey, permissions and installation, all has gone smoothly with minimum inconvenience, so thanks Leeds Solar for a job well done.
Good professional quote and installation. Prompt paperwork and G99 application.
Leeds Solar have been super helpful in helping me with my solar panel install. Unfortunately my installer liquidated and I needed some support with Northern Power Grid. Anthony was brilliant, responsive, knowledgeable, and has allowed me to progress with NPG, without charging. We’re very grateful and will be making Leeds Solar out first contact if we do anything in future!
Great company, We had Leeds solar fit solar panels and battery storage for our house, they specified the panel size to get the absolute maximum capacity out of the roof space available, (7x Eureneer panels 480w each) coupled with a Givenergy 5kw inverter and a 9.5kwhr battery. The lads that did the install were excellent, really friendly and professional, it was done over 2 days and they left no mess, a really tidy job! The guys in the office were really knowledgeable and were able to answer all of my questions. I would without a doubt recommend Leeds solar!
Have been looking at Solar and Battery solutions for a while, decided to get 3 quotes from differing suppliers. Glad I did, Leeds Solar were great from the start, listening to what I was trying to achieve and providing several solution with options. We narrowed it down over the phone and emails with lots of useful data on their products and system design. Then they came to site survey to ensure it was all feasible and again fine tuned the design to provide me with accurate quotes. These were all well specified and detailed and importantly, competitive. We agreed to go ahead and paid the deposit, then pleasantly surprised to get a call the next week to see if they could install due to a cancellation. Result ! The roofers installed 10 x 480w panels on our E face garage roof in one day despite the rain, then James and the other guys did a grand job of achieving a very tidy install in the garage of the 7kw Fox inverter and 20.5kw battery system. Only been up and running a few days but have managed a full battery charge off solar a couple of days (May 2024) - meets our requirements very well with upgradeable options for the future. Great install from a local installer. Highly recommended.
I had a 4.8KW system (10x 480W panels) with a 5.2 KWh battery. Throughout the planning stages ever aspect was handled to the highest standard, from the deposit being held in a deposit protection scheme, to coordinating roof access as I had a roof replacement at the same time. My panels were delayed due to factors beyond Leeds Solars control (delays with the supplier) but they kept me in to loop throughout, and I had asked for them to install a month ahead of schedule due to the roofer completing early, which just resulted in the panels going up when they were originally planned. The GivEnergy battery with the app is also a great choice to be able to monitor the system. When it came to installing all the guys were friendly, polite and knowledgeable. The process to go from putting the Solar on your roof to being able to export required a number of steps and it was talking to Leeds Solar that I was able to get everything in place post installation. Overall I am extremely happy with how the entire process went from start to finish and the system I now have in place. Top people who know what they are doing, installing high quality equipment.
Really great company to deal with, Lads on site were knowledgeable, friendly and professional. 16 panels with a 9.5Kw battery were Installed around 6 weeks ago, there appears to be no problems and my bills have plummeted. One of the easiest 5 star reviews ever!
Leeds Solar recently installed some solar panels for me. They were efficient, helpful and pleasant to deal with. I am delighted with the finished product. Leeds Solar is an extremely ethical and honest company. They have been in this business for many years, so they really know what they are doing. They have my highest recommendation.
I can highly recommend Leeds Solar for Solar PV installation. They installed a system for my mother in law and she had nothing but praise for them and is very happy with system they installed. The price they charged was more competitive than the other quotes received so another positive.
I recently engaged Leeds Solar to supply and install a in-roof solar array and house battery, as part of a full re-roof project. They were extremely professional and we have been very happy with the result. I’d have no hesitation in using them again in the future.
Generally very happy with our solar panels and battery.
They have installed my solar panels for my two houses. One in Wakefield and the other one in Leicester. Gavin, his mum and his brothers are all brilliant, trustworthy people who you can deal with any day. Gavin was excellent from the first point of contact to this time. I appreciate their professionalism and have recommended to many people that I know.
Leeds Solar recently installed a nine solar panel system for us, as part of a major refurbishment project. The work was done quickly and efficiently and the system was explained to us clearly. All wiring is neat and unobtrusive. We are very pleased with the final result.
Pretty much faultless. Leeds Solar were 1 of 4 companies I made enquires about with regards to Solar installation and they came out on top by far. Quick to communicate and excellent product knowledge. Panels now installed and all working well! Would highly recommend.
Leeds Solar went above and beyond on this one! Great company, I had a leaking roof with the problem area under the panels. I struggled to find a company that would take on both the removal of the solar panels and repair the roof. Leeds solar don’t normally do this either BUT they went out of their way to find a workable and cost effective solution. The guys completed the work to an efficient and high standard and were very pleasant throughout. Iv already got them quoting for further work.
Had a 4kw system installed in December. Very happy, initial process of options and decision on system was great, they were happy to answer questions as I worked out what I wanted. Installation was quick and clean and the system worked and has had no problems since it was installed nearly 4 months ago. System has peaked at just over 4kw production even under the winter sun so I'm looking forward to summer
Absolutely superb, very happy. From initial discussions through to fitting the panels and connecting them up, the service was first class. They worked around a very annoying, very unprofessional set of scaffolders and never grumbled, and the care and attention they took were amazing, especially since they were dealing with an older property where extra care needed to be taken. I couldn't recommend these guys more.
Knowing the owners I can safely vouch for the high quality of the work and honesty and reliability of this business. No need to look anywhere else.
