Great service from Contact Solar

The Contact Solar team were great. They fitted the solar system quickly and even went into the crawl space, under the house, to run the main cable, so it is out of sight. The installation was completed to a high standard and they left the property tidy, with no mess for me to clean up. I will certainly be recommending Contact Solar in the future.

the administrative side of the company… is pretty poor it is like the NHS where to make it look like there is a small queue they pass you from one dept to another

the administrative side of the company leaves a lot to be desired, questions asked or dates requested had a tendency to be passed from one dept to another which obviously extended the time , however the fitment team were very good, that said after a few issues they did reduce the cost by £400. However now i am trying to log onto the system and the sunsynk app is a absolute nightmare, it states i am registered but then it states i am not when i request a password reset. then it locked me out for trying to much. i now have to wait till 14 april for a online helper...it is the 10th

Contact solar hybrid solar installation

Very good system and App, prompt installation and good follow up, quite a lot of info which is to be expected but might benefit from simplification, check sheet or emails that contain history and follow a single trail, all in all I’m happy with the whole system

Professional installation and great after sales support

I never fail to be impressed by how helpful the support team is. I’m so pleased we chose Contact Solar to instal our solar panels and battery. It was a very professional installation and now I find that professionalism and responsiveness extends to your support service. Just brilliant - as a consumer I couldn’t be more pleased.

Damage caused to property

Can't fault the solar panels but the scaffolding company they used caused considerable damage to my property. They assured me it would be remedied but over 2 months later and I am still chasing. Regretting using this company now as it's becoming a major headache.

Good workmanship

Good workmanship from a very pleasant team. A pity they had to come back to finish the job when they forgot two PV panels and the bird protection. They would have got 5 stars

We had a training session with Jack, who was very experienced, helpful and supportive. Answered our questions and explained things well. We are very pleased we went to contact solar for our full solar system, very positive experience.

Solar panel battery install - almost 1 year on

Coming upto a year since Contact Solar Install of panels and batteries and the only issues we've experienced were either sorted extremely quickly or were completely out of Contact Solars control, i.e. local grid system overvoltage issues. Don't like to give reviews to soon after install but I can sincerely state that all stages of pre-sales, install and after-sales process proved to be extremely efficient and exacting. I asked lots of questions, which were expertly handled and felt reassured throughout.
We have not had been in touch with Contact Solar for 6 months as there has been no need, but 100% sure they would be available to assist if and when required, now and in the future!

Thanks again!
