The whole experience was easy

The whole experience was easy, the only thing I would say is to start the process of getting your export account set up as soon as you get the installation date so you benefit immediately from the exporting

No help when it goes wrong.

When buying, leading up to and including installation they were fantastic....2 years on and just outside their fitting warranty they couldnt care less. My wife and I are disabled and the system has failed. Because givenergy went bankrupt, the 25 year warranty is void. They expect us to source an independent solar specialist to perform a full inspection of the system at our cost before they will do anything to help us. They do not have enough engineers and when the system fails they do not want to know. They take days to reply to emails. Really really poor service. We are still paying the finance on a system that is not working. So not generating power or exporting.costing me.dearly every day its not repaired.
Thanks for the reply OVO but
OVO are still supplying and fitting Solar panels country wide so I cannot understand why they have not supplied me with a list of solar experts that they are obviously still using, that are in my area, so that I can contact them to arrange an inspection and diagnosis. Aweful service.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

We're genuinely sorry to read that you've been left feeling this way, particularly after having such a positive experience throughout your purchase and installation.

We'd like to clarify one important point regarding the warranties mentioned in your review. The 25-year product warranties relate solely to the solar panels and remain completely unaffected by GivEnergy's administration. The GivEnergy equipment itself was supplied with a separate 10-year manufacturer warranty, which is entirely independent of the panel warranties.

Unfortunately, GivEnergy entering administration was an unprecedented event that affected customers and installers across the UK. It was not something that could reasonably have been foreseen by ourselves, our customers or the wider industry at the time these systems were installed, and we fully appreciate the uncertainty and frustration this has caused.

Whilst the manufacturer warranty position has unfortunately changed as a result of GivEnergy's administration, our willingness to assist our customers has not. Our priority has always been to help customers navigate this difficult situation as fairly and responsibly as possible. Where faults are reported, it is important that the cause of the issue is correctly identified so that the appropriate course of action can be taken.

We'd really welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly, review your individual circumstances and see how we can assist. Please contact our office at your convenience and we'll do everything we reasonably can to help.

Top company. Highly recommended

1. So happy about our solar installation. OVO are super professional about everything they do.
2. The cost to install 18 panel, the 11.5 kWh battery and the inverter was a no brainier when we received the quote.
3. Brings a smile to your face every time you look at the Smart meter and the only cost is the day rate 52p.
4. All the guys that came to the house were polite, helpful and knowledgeable. Top team.

I chose OVO Solar & Heating South Coast as they are affiliated with our electricity supplier OVO. Knowing nothing about solar the most important thing to me was dealing with company had the backing of our electricity provider and had good ratings from other customers. Communication has been good throughout the process, the guys that came to site (from scaffolders, electrician and roofers) were all friendly and knowledgeable and happy to discuss plans before proceeding with their work. Always easy to speak to the office and follow up was excellent too. So we have a working solar+battery+eps installation, I can see it all on an easy to use app all done on time and to budget. You can't really ask more than that!

Outstanding Solar Installation from Start to Finish

Our solar installation has just been completed, and I want to express how genuinely impressed we are with every part of the process. From the very first conversation with Sales through to project management and the final handover, OVO have been consistently professional, organised, and helpful.

The on‑site teams were outstanding.
The scaffolding company arrived exactly when promised and set everything up safely and efficiently - it was really quite a masterpiece of engineering!
The roofing team were exceptional - skilled, careful, and clearly proud of their work. And a special mention must go to Pete Roberts, the electrician, whose attention to detail and calm professionalism were second to none. All of them worked through extremely challenging conditions, with temperatures reaching 36°C, yet maintained a level of workmanship and attitude that was genuinely remarkable.

The end result is fantastic. The system looks superb, performs beautifully, and the whole installation has been completed to a very high standard. It’s rare these days to find a company where every part of the process feels this well‑coordinated and this customer‑focused.

We’re delighted with the outcome and now look forward to our upcoming OVO air‑conditioning installation with complete confidence.

Happy new solar panel customers!

From the initial discussions with the provider right through to installation and follow up after completion, everyone has been extremely polite, helpful and professional.
The panels look very smart and are already producing lots of free energy, as hoped!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Confident in the calculations. So far working as expected.

The sales person provided plenty of information, including an annual estimated amount of electric that would be generated. Using the size, slope angle and orientation of the panels, and including the Lat and Long (for sunshine prediction), we were given a diagram which showed the amount of electric we should generate in a year. I have an engineering background and I found the calculations estimating electric generation to be comprehensive and believable.
Since the panels were switched on (about 2 weeks ago - April 2026), we have not used any electric from the grid.

A great overall experience

A great overall experience. Lots of support available answering questions before the install, and then a speedy and efficient installation service from the very pleasant and skilled teams of scaffolders, roofers and electricians. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone thinking of installing panels. Very many thanks for making what we thought might have been a long a complex profess so effortless for us.
