Extremely knowledgeable and very competitive quote

Aaron contacted me in response to my request for a solar quote.
He was very knowledgeable and the quote he sent was extremely competitive .

I would recommend anyone wishing to look at installing a solar system contact this company for a quote.

Well worth the investment

Despite a little delay outside of their control, the team have been great. From the quote to the install, the team have been top class. And the power we’re now self generating is incredible! Well worth the investment!

Competitive price, prompt installation, professional staff

The company provided a competitive quote. Could install the system within very good timescales delivered and installed the product to the timings they gave. All staff, from sales to technical assessment and installation were polite and professional and a pleasure to deal with and gave excellent tuition as to how to use the system and app. Very helpful answering any queries we had.

Comprehensive explanations

Plan solar were very patient in answering our many questions prior to installation. The installation was carried out well and we like the matt finish of the panels. We also like the benefits of solar power.

Excellent work and after sales support

5.8 kWh battery installed , to work alongside existing PV panels. Work went well, electricians did a great job. Lack of scaffolding on site could have postponed the job to another day, but they were able to arrange it last minute so job still went ahead and completed on the day. After sales service has been very good, always got back to me, particularly with any queries I have had with the App or GroWatt web-site where I can monitor performance of panels and battery

Pleased with our solar panels…

Plan solar installed our solar panels well, they were thoughtful about the placement of the panels and competitively priced. Good communication throughout. My only negative is we were told on the phone that one option for the battery was for it to go in the attic but upon arrival the engineer said it would be too heavy to put up there.

Solar panel and battery install

Everyone at Plan Solar were great from the sales team to the fitters. Job completed in a good time frame. My only issue is that they have left the battey sat on the garage floor so I'm a little concerened it's going to get damaged, if it wasn't for this it would have been 5 stars.

Thank you for your kind words & review.

Batteries are best floor mounted as this makes scaling the system easier for you going forward. IE. if you wish to add additional batteries at a later date.
We hope you enjoy your new system for many years to come!

All the best, Plan Solar.

Installation top class/follow-up poor.

Installation top class. Back-up very lax. Trying for a few days to get the system sorted out and no response from them. Beginning to regret.

Plan Solar Installation

Overall I am happy with Plan Solar although I have to deduct one star because of a mixup between the sales department and the installation department. The quotation that I asked for was for an in roof system but the installation team arrived on 7th November with an on roof system. The problem then was that the materials were not available because of the high demand so the job could not be completed until 17th December.
Other than that, the quote was competitive, the workmen were very friendly, the installation looks neat and all the excess materials were removed.
The system has been working as expected since the installation was completed.

Easy no stress install, although disappointed with the scaffolders quite ignorant both teams that put it up and took it down, had issues with the gutting leaking after they had gone, overall experience was good but a little tainted by the scaffolders

Hi Andrew,

Thankyou for your feedback. Apologies you feel let down by the scaffolders. As we've grown the business we've had to develop new relationships with scaffolding companies up & down the country, This has sometimes been a case of trial & error. Ive tried calling you to ensure your guttering has been rectified, if you can call me back when convenient on 01283 777028 I can help in anyway.

We're glad your happy with your experience directly with Plan Solar & hope you enjoy your new system for many years to come.

The fitters were very professional and cleaned up after themselves we were missing a lead for one of the batteries which arrived and fitted a few days afterwards. The entire process was completed on time and budget

Pleased with result

Plan Solar were friendly and helpful. It took about 6 weeks from ordering to installation, which I consider good, but the order was for 3 batteries and only 1 was installed (I was only charged for what was installed). Apparently there was a shortage of the batteries.
Plan Solar fitted the other 2 batteries on 14/1. It only took a couple of hours and now I have the system I asked for. I would recommend them; if it wasn't for the hiccup I would give them 5 stars.

Hi Phil,

Thank you for your feedback.

Firstly, we apologise for any inconvenience caused. The current climate & energy crisis means the demand for solar is unprecedented, this means that sometimes stock is hard to come by at certain points of the year. We took the decision to complete the works in two stages rather than delay your full installation. We wanted you to have a functioning system so you can start saving money sooner rather than later. Please trust we took this decision with good intentions only & a further cost to our business.

Ive checked with our operations manager & believe you are scheduled in on the 14/1/23 to complete the works. Following that, we hope to gain your full satisfaction & maybe a few more stars on your rating.

Any further queries please don't hesitate to contact us on 08000016653.

Thanks again,

Plan Solar.

Installation team were brilliant, BUT .....

Installation team (including scaffolding) were brilliant, friendly, efficient & very willing to answer questions.

Really pleased with the installation, and the equipment .....

BUT I found that official communication ceased after my final payment. I am still waiting to hear about my G98 certification .. no answer to email requesting an update. I have queries about my battery performance, which are not being answered by the technical team.

I understand totally the effect of negative criticism on sites such as Trustpilot, and for communications my star rating would have been a single star. I don't feel this company deserves such a low rating for an overall experience, but they certainly need to "shift up" a few gears with their efforts on communications.
