Reviewers of The Local Solar Company LTD commonly describe clear communication, a no-pressure sales approach and tidy, professional installation teams, with several mentioning James by name for keeping them informed. Many report systems installed within a day or two, and some note lower electricity bills or seeing their home run off solar and battery. A few reviewers mention competitive pricing, and one reported being kept informed and supported after a wait when the wrong batteries were delivered. One reviewer said a few small issues arose during installation but that James resolved them quickly with his subcontractors and kept them updated.
Just had a Solar and battery installed by The Solar Company with the team being excellent throughout. James put together the proposal which was competitive but more importantly he was engaged at all times and keen to ensure he had the right solution and continues to support post installation. The fitting team of Tomask, Lee and Stuart were great working through some pretty miserable weather but a smile on their face at all times! Would very much recommend.
Highly recommended. High standards from start to finish. Great service.
Thanks to James and his team for installing our solar panels, battery and EV charger. They did a fantastic job. No hassles, no hard sell nonsense. A great small family company that reassuringly has been installing solar systems for 12 years. I feel such relief when I see my home running with zero uptake from the grid and look forward to seeing credit build up when we start to sell excess power generated back to the grid!
Great work from James and his team ,with installation of my additional batteries by Lee and Stuart carried out professionally and efficiently. Work started on day agreed with James and additional batteries great addition to my system .
Had my solar panels Inverter and Battery fitted in one day by The Local Solar Company. Guys worked to a high spec and tidied up after themselves. Once installed Lee ran my through the app. From start to finish I was kept well informed and was delighted with the complete job. Would recomend to anyone looking for Solar Panels to give Fergie a call
Both roofers and electricians were very hard working and great at what they did. The initial advice led to us installing an appropriate system that catered to our requirements. The wholesalers gave the guys an older type set of batteries. The electricians picked up on this and we had a couple of days wait for the batteries we'd paid for. I was obviously annoyed at any wait but the guys were honest and picked up on the issue. They proper batteries were installed a couple of days later. James was very knowledgeable and obviously loves what he does. The system is small and not invasive. The panels are great quality and look good. We're looking forward to lower bills.
I am very pleased with the service provided by James and his team. From our initial meeting through to the installation, the whole process was professional, efficient and completely stress-free. There was absolutely no hard sell or pressure at any stage. James took the time to explain all the available options clearly and helped us choose the right system for our needs and budget. They patiently answered all of my questions, and communication was excellent throughout. I always felt fully informed about what was happening, and the installation was completed to a high standard. I will happily recommend them to anyone considering having solar panels installed.
Absolutely delighted with our new solar and battery installation. From our first contact with James and the installation team who we here at 8.30 to commence the work, would have no hesitation in recommending The Local Solar Company if you are considering having solar installed. The installation team are very knowledgeable and keen to ensure you are happy with work being done, which was first class. Thanks again
We recently had 16 solar panels and a battery installed, and I couldn’t be happier with the service from start to finish. James was extremely helpful from our very first meeting right through to installation and completion. The quote was very competitive, communication was excellent, and the standard of work carried out by the whole team was first-class. A special mention to Stuart, one of the electricians, who really went above and beyond, working late and in wet conditions to get the job finished. His commitment and work ethic deserve particular recognition. Tomask and Marek on the roofing team were also excellent, as were the other team members involved in the installation. It’s refreshing to deal with a company that offers competitive pricing without compromising on quality, and whose staff genuinely care about doing a good job. Thanks again to James and everyone involved. I’d have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to anyone considering solar panels and battery storage.
James is a friendly guy, communicated very well throughout the sale process and installation. Installation was fairly prompt and, despite a couple of small issues, went as planned. James resolved the issues quickly with his team of subcontractors and kept me updated. Well priced compared to others, and the solar/batteries are already making a big difference to our energy bill!
A great company to install Solar Panels. Would highly recommend. James is so kind and very helpful, no hard sale or pushiness and leaves you to make up your own mind.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I did quite a bit of research before deciding to go ahead with solar panels and contacted three different solar companies. I received various quotes, and all three companies advised that they could fit around 16 panels. I then met Andy (Andrew) from Local Solar Company, who gave me James’s details. I contacted James the following day, and he came out to look at the property and provide a quote. After inspecting the property, he told me they could actually fit 20 panels, which was a pleasant surprise. The quote was also very reasonable, so we decided to go ahead and pencilled in an installation date. A couple of days before the installation, the team came to put up the scaffolding. When the two roofers, Thomas and his colleague, arrived, they looked at the roof and advised that they could potentially fit one additional panel, taking the total to 21 panels. They didn't have to suggest this, but they were very helpful and clearly wanted to make the most of the available roof space. I spoke with James, who agreed that the additional panel could be fitted. The following day, Thomas brought the extra panel and installed it. The next day, Stuart and Lee, the electricians, came to connect the inverter and battery system. They also did a very professional job and took the time to make sure everything was installed and connected properly. From the solar panel installation through to connecting the battery and completing the electrical work, the whole process took around two days. Everyone I dealt with was professional, helpful and courteous. A special thanks to Andy, James, Thomas and his colleague, Stuart and Lee for all their hard work. I'm very happy with the overall service and installation, and I would definitely recommend Local Solar Company to anyone considering having solar panels and a battery installed.
For us, installing solar panels was a huge investment to make but we were so impressed with James and his company that we took the step earlier than we had planned for! Communication is one of James' key strengths and at no point did we lose any confidence in our decision. James communicated personally at every stage of the process and his team were delightful. His roofers and electricians were polite, tidy and respectful of our property (and noisy terrier) at all times. Their work ethic was second to none and they persevered through some dreadful weather, with good humour. The installation went without a hitch and we are happy with the quality of the product and follow up contact. We are now looking forward to a greener future and have no hesitation in recommending this company. We wish them every continued success for the future. They deserve it.
I had 10 panels installed by James and his team, from start to finish the job went exactly as planned, great team of guys, friendly and professional and quality of work was excellent, would highly recommend, Thanks lads.
Good prices,quick and friendly service.amazing set up and guys left the place clean n tidy.as a man in a wheelchair they handled everything and communicated it well with me x
Excellent service from James and the team. Installation efficiently and professionally well within the day. It's nice| to watch the house run off the solar during the day and off the battery in the evening rather than the grid. I would highly recommend The Local Solar Company if you are in looking for a new installation or to upgrade an existing system.
Excellent company with good after sales help. The savings on my electricity bills are huge and the panels and battery has been great on my household running costs. Thanks again.
What can I say James and the team where spot on from start to finish, no hard selling,quick and efficient tidy workmen definitely recommend 👌.
After doing my homework and looking at various options for a solar installation company in my area i chose "The local solar company", My install wasnt a straightforward one as the solar panels were to be mounted on an outbuilding with a corrugated roof,and the battery,s and invertor in another out-building Approx 25 metres from my upstairs flat , All i can say is that James and his team were superb from the intial survey to the final switch on , There were a few issues along the way but james team found the solutions quickly and eficiently ,and have done a magnificent install for me ,,,,, im very happy Would i recomend them? Definately ! Was it a competitive price ? Yes ! Was the install team top trades people with attension to detail and customer satisfaction a top priority ? Absolutely! If your looking for a solar instalation in the near future give this company a shout they must be one of the best out there! Craig ,,,,,,,
I recently had The Local Solar Company install solar panels and a battery system at my property and was very pleased with the overall experience. James and his team were professional from start to finish. Communication was good throughout, everything was clearly explained, and the installation was completed efficiently and to a high standard. The team were friendly, knowledgeable and respectful of the property, and the whole process was straightforward with no hassle. Very happy with the finished installation and I’d happily recommend The Local Solar Company to anyone considering solar panels or battery storage.
James gave me a price and installation date to renew my battery. His team arrived as arranged, did the work with no problems. It was good to work with James and his team.
Oue experience with James and his team was excellent. James came to give advice on what we were looking for and what system was best suited to our needs. My husband decided to go with James's advice as his knowledge was good on requirements. We had 11 panels, inverter and battery installed. The installation team (Gav and Eddie)arrived Saturday morning 9am as expected. Very cheery for 9am on a Saturday! No issues and very tidy when working, keeping doors/gate closed as we have 2 small dogs. Installation took the day and electrician (Lee) followed on the Sunday to complete work and do connection to grid. We have now been able to apply for SEG license and this is progressing. Highly recommend James and the team. Their knowledge and pricing was great and workmanship from team fantastic.
Fantastic service from James and his team, always available to chat and answer questions.Workmanship was very high quality. Would highly recommend
Very pleased with the install. Team came on time and installed the system in under one day. James was very helpful in explaining everything and is only phone call away if you have any questions. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have solar/ battery installed.
A very tidy job by James and his team. Timely, arriving when he said they would. Battery unit sitting nicely in garage and already the bills have reduced significantly. The unusual blue skies are helping too mind 😎
I would thoroughly recommend The Local Solar company. From initial visit to installation was excellent, no hard sell followed by an installation that was speedy, efficient and clean. James's team of roofers and electricians were pleasant and happy to answer any questions I had.
The Local Solar Company installed a battery in to my existing solar panel system. Could not fault what so ever. All done in one day. Left a nice tidy job. From initial contact with James to the guys who do the install, everyone was great and communicated well. I thought I had a small issue after install (I actually didn't), but the guys were out to my house unbelievably quick to check it all over. Couldn't ask for better service.
From initial visit to completion of work an excellent experience. James's team of roofers and electricians were pleasant speedy and clean workers. Special mention to to Marc and Ryan who worked solidly and overcame wee glitches professionally. 10 panels battery and converter in one day. Superb
Great work by James and the Local Solar Company team. Our system was designed for relatively heavy household usage (family with teenagers), with 16 panels, an inverter, and a battery. Everything was installed in a single day, neatly and with minimal disruption—I was able to keep working from home. The follow-up has been excellent too, with James’s colleagues handling my MCS certificate and other paperwork.
Really positive and easy experience with The Local Solar Compnay. James set out in straight forward terms the benefits and costs of going solar. Giving us the right information without any pushy sales chat. From initial meeting through to the install team it was a really smooth operation.
James visited my house talked through options,this was to add battery and hybrid inverter to my 16 solar panels, no pressure,price on the spot. Fitting arrange,guys arrive right on schedule. Good clean tidy fitting job. Explained online review for system. All good They do what they promise, can’t fault a thing👍
Delighted with our installation, James and team were punctual, courteous, tidied up after and very knowledgable. Would recommend The Local Solar Company.
Great experience very slick, nice friendly people you can trust. Really pleased we found them, great job. Highly recommended
James and his team explained the process clearly, and installed our panels and ecoflow battery in 2 days. Very good company to deal with, professional, knowledgeable and customer focussed.Very competitively priced, too.
I couldn't be happier with the service I received from this solar company. From the initial consultation through to the installation, the team was knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made the whole process straightforward and stress-free. The installation was completed efficiently and to a very high standard, with great attention to detail. The team arrived on time, worked tidily, and left everything spotless when the job was finished. It's clear they take pride in their work and genuinely care about customer satisfaction. I'm already seeing the benefits of my solar system and would highly recommend this company to anyone considering making the switch to renewable energy. Excellent service, excellent workmanship, and excellent value. Five stars!
Great work from James and the team, 14 panels, EcoFlow inverter and battery. Already looking to add more battery as it’s been productive so far great options for interest free finance if required and all very friendly
The Local Solar Company have been excellent installing my solar panels. They were quick completing the installation in a day and they left my house in good order. Everyone involved in the installation were pleasant and helpful.
The team arrived when arranged. Professional and pleasant. Kept informed at all stages and work place left tidy and clean. Katrina & Tony
The Local Solar Company installed a solar array, battery, and charger for us this week. Great communication from our first contact and a smooth installation.
Thank you James and staff for installation of my solar panels , very efficient and knowledgeable from start to finish, would highly recommend this local solar company.
Great company to deal with & the installation team were a good bunch.The products used are top notch cannot fault them would highly recommend Mike & Christine
Good service. Good team. Owner knows the business. Happy to support local company. Recommended.
A very good job, really nice guys friendly and polite. They even clean up their mess. I would highly recommend them. 10 out 10. Rab and Selma Jackson.
Really positive experience with The Local Solar Company. James was knowledgeable and professional throughout, taking time to explain the details clearly, without any pressure. The whole process was smooth and well-handled.
We have worked with James and the Local Solar Company on several projects now. Whenever we need a hand with anything solar, James is our man. Being on the roof, we see the workmanship up close. James & the team fit in seamlessly whenever we work together and I have always been very impressed with both the quality of installations and the reliability of the team. Would (and have) absolutely recommend the Local Solar Company to anyone interested in solar.
Big thank you to James and the team!!! Quality workmanship and communication throughout - exactly what we said from the start was important to us.
We had been seeing The Local Solar Company vans across Stirling of late so decided to finally get a quote. With my partner and I working throughout the day we had been putting Solar off but with the cost of electricity going the way it’s going we decided to see if there was any upside. I’m so glad we reached out - this for us was about independence from the grid. We went for EcoFlow Solar + Battery Storage System and had our interest free loan approved within 48 hours. Install took 2 days and the boys were friendly and courteous.
Having just moved into our forever home, we had James out for a survey to explain how Solar works and to see if it was right for us. The whole journey from initially enquiring right up to installation was so simple an efficient. We are over the moon and can already see our savings on the systems monitoring app which Mark walked us through. Thank you so much to all of you ☀️ Holly
Fair price for a high quality install
Great product knowledge and good quality service. From initial design, right through to installation, everything was excellent!
Could not fault James and the installation team! Great product knowledge throughout and clearly a very experienced fitting crew.
