I didn’t know who to approach for a quote on solar panels. There are so many ads you see these days! I contacted my Energy Co, EDF, who recommended Contact Solar. A great experience from start to fini... See more

Good communication and advice from the company team throughout the process. Scaffolding guys good, in and out no issues both erecting and removal. Very happy up to now with the system. Neat and tidy installation.19 panels, 30kw Batteries operating as expected, especially well with the present sunshine. Took a while longer than originally advised from ordering to Install, but was worth the wait. I would recommend Contact Solar service and products to anyone.
Great communication from the company. A little pricier than some outfits, but better quality products & the overall experience was very positive. Workmen were courteous, efficient & respectful of our property. Customer support has been excellent so far :-)
They are the most helpful people I have dealt with. The support with a problem I encountered due to changing tariff was superb. Having had Contact Solar for some years I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
Due to a recent bereavement I’ve had to suddenly understand and manage our solar panels and the corresponding batteries.
Contact solar have been amazing, making it straightforward to transfer the account into my name. I was able to book a tutorial where they helped me to understand how the app works and the information I can access. When I had an issue with the app and couldn’t find the data they helped me to identify what had happened and access the data again very quickly.
Quick and clear response to a query that came up 8 months after the installation was completed. Well done.
What started as a suspicious “cold call” ended with a very satisfactory solar installation from a refreshingly efficient company.
If I had to recommend a solar installation firm this company would be the one.
Very experienced and friendly staff
Very polite and helpful
Good communication from the team
Would highly recommend 👌
Really great communications and talked through the whole process. Quick and efficient installation with no disruption.
Installation was good, however don't expect any help after this. They only communicate via email, ignore requests for a phone conversation. And refuse to help on requests for adjustment to inverters after enquiries regarding reapplication to DNO. Which they refuse to do in our behalf. Ben has been useless in answering my queries only responding once per day via email which on a verbal communication could have been sorted immediately but has now taken over 10 days. Now they are threatening charges to adjust an inverter, which can be done remotely by TESLA. Appalling
*Update*
I had a phone call shortly after I posted this review. My questions were all answered and an apology was given.
Then I was asked to take the review down. I am sorry but if this was the only way I got service then people should know. Regards.
Office staff in all the different departments were proffesional, potite, knowledgeable and without doubt the best company I have dealt with for many years, if not the best. If only all companies could be this proffesional and efficient, whilst being helpful and a real feeling of natually friendly. The installation team were superb in the way that they carried out the installation, this is hard work and should not be underestimated. A great team.
I thank everyone involved.
I am really pleased with the process of getting solar panels and batteries installed at my property with Contact Solar.
The quote was very competitive, with lots of advice and they even beat my other best quote.
Contact Solar provide all the documents you required including MCS Certificate(required to export), DNO grid approval, NICEIC Certificate (building regs), Manuals and Schematic of system, HIES insurance, 2 years workmanship warranty.
Along with all the applications and sorting out my SEG application, they have a call to go through the inverter application and settings so you understand and can ask any questions.
I have contacted them since the install for a couple questions and they answered them the same day after reviewing the data from my inverter online.
Lastly l, the instation team were fantastic, all the work is really neat and tidy. Even consulting on the day to make sure I was happy with everything they were doing. At the end of the day when they finished, they walked around and showed me all the components, how to use the system only leaving after checking I was happy.
From initial order to installation the service provided has been superb
Not a good time of the year to install Solar however Contact Solar was on the ball, the teams managed to get it all done in the end and I was happy with the end result. Final paperwork was delivered fast and managed to get the export on line 2 weeks after install. The system is far exceeding what the original prediction was, in fact the first month (March April) I had a saving of £125 (we have 2 EV’s) so far into the April May billing period it looks like my bill will be negative and negative till probably October
easy process, very good price, local installers in Worsley were absolute pros, quality equipment, no complaints at all so far.
I had solar panels installed recently, and the installation itself went smoothly. The installation was contracted to local installers (which is the usual practice?), and completed the work on time, which I appreciated.
When I reached out for post installation support regarding pest/pigeon protection, the customer support's initial responses are unhelpful. Pigeons are a common problem with solar panels, yet the company's policy around this wasn't great. Probably they wanted to keep the installation costs low?
I was recommended a provider who can add pest protection and told to deal with this outside the installation which costs £600-£800 extra. Why cannot they do it as add-on when the scaffolding is put in place during installation is beyond my understanding?
So be prepared to pay more for this...what more to come?
Kept up to date on progress at each stage and the install team were outstanding, very tidy install and the work area was cleaner once they were finished than before
I cannot speak highly enough about the service and assistance I have received from Contact Solar support team, a quick email if a problem arises and they come back to you and sort your issue.
Their response and friendly attitude is a credit to the company.
I would have no problem recommending this company to my friends and family.
I have had my solar panels and batteries for 5years now and they are the best investment i have ever made the after care you get is second to none i want to give praise to all the staff very professional polite and extremely helpful a special thank you to jack for being especially kind
