Looked at a complex solar and Tesla powerwall3 battery solution, reviewed multiple suppliers and came down to Forward Energy after meeting Demeitri the owner / installer. Down to earth, not hard sell, technical expertise and met all criteria. Installation went smoothly and all up and running. Not the cheapest but also good value overall. Fully recommend them.

Andy did a great job
Andy did a great job, connecting our front electric outlet to our external garage and installing the Ohme charger, very tough conditions for working outside (-2C), but very professional work, looks great and works perfectly.

Certified electrician for our home purchase
We needed a certified electrician to inspect the Electricity safety of a home we're purchasing and it's enough to worry about. Demetri has been extremely responsive and pleasant to deal with since I have found the business on Check A Trade. Demetri helped provide a quote immediately, booked a visit with the estate agents quickly and sent around a detailed report quickly. I can see that an engineer helped put together a useful report for us. I would recommend!

Quick install but unusual cable routing
Octopus passed me on to Forward Energy as their local installer for the Hypervolt charger. They had availability within a week or so, which was convenient. Just needed a quick video call for a survey, which was followed by clear and detailed emails.
Installer was prompt and worked tidily. The location wasn't the easiest, but equally not the most complex, but they chose routing that has ended up with cable a bit all over the place. Didn't quite expect it to look like that, and would have appreciated a bit more clarity from the installer, although it all works as intended. Setup and handover was straightforward, with all relevant certification arriving within a few days.
