Solar Generation Reviews 198

My wife and I decided to install a solar pv system in/on our house. We already had an understanding of the technology having a solar system on our campervan. Following research and discussions with a neighbour we got in touch with Solar Generation, a company based in Strandhill, Sligo. From start to finish our experience with this company was absolutely excellent! All the company staff that we had dealings with demonstrated superb knowledge of their field and assisted us in building a system suited to our needs. The installation process was a demonstration of excellent teamwork and first class workmanship. So, nearly four months has past since our system was made operational and it is working as we expected. Electricity bills have been significantly reduced and having hot water, essentially free, is a welcome bonus. We did not install battery storage but we may do so in the future as battery technology improves. It was a pleasure to have engaged with Solar Generation and I can happily recommend them to anyone wanting to invest in their own solar pv system.

Highly recommend.Effiicent with excellent customer service.
Raymond completed the electrical work efficently and set up the app which is useful for advising on solar generated and how much is used.

From the initial contact I felt this company really understood their business and the importance of a customer. I cannot recommend them highly enough if you are considering getting a PV System installed. They will design a solution to meet your needs and budget whilst providing realistic expectations. Their after sales and ongoing support is truly outstanding.

Delighted! Found the Solar Generation guys very easy to deal with. From the initial enquiry, to the install, to getting our SEAI grant sorted, Solar Generation made the whole process really easy.

We had 16 panels, a battery, an eddi and a Zappi charger installed across two days (including the roofing works.)

Four months in I'm really happy with the savings we're seeing on monthly bills.. and especially with being able to charge our EV at home (with a little help from the sunshine!)

Really looking forward to seeing how effective the system is when it really comes into it's own with the longer days and brighter months ahead.

Solar generation are very professional in their approach to PV system design and installations and I am very happy with our system.

We've had 16 ground mounted panels installed in our meadow. The team installed them in just one day so very fast and efficient. We also had all the electrics sorted on the same day: battery (for evening usage), diverter (for hot water) and an exchange switch (in case of power cuts). Its only been just over one month (December/January) but we are already seeing our grid usage drop significantly, running appliances and enjoying hot water from solar generated electricity. The team have been very helpful in answering our queries. I would definitely recommend Solar Generation

Excellent service, extremely nice lads, would highly recommend Solar Generation.
Very neat and tidy work.

Solar Generation’s assessment of the suitability of PV panels for our home was well presented and included information on how and where they sourced the panels. Once we agreed to go ahead, the installation process was extremely efficient. The work was completed skilfully and carefully with no delays. We are very much looking forward to the benefits the PV panels will bring to our home.

From the initial meeting with Steve and his proposal submitted , to the efficiency of the highly coordinated installation, and the quality of the 'back office' (including the SEAI application), I found Solar Generation to be of the highest quality throughout. Many thanks to you all, a superb job.

Solar Generation is probably the most efficient company I have ever dealt with. They were very professional in and out full installation done in a day and a half leaving behind a very tidy and neat job. I have to compliment Steve on the way he completed his presentation and took his time to explain everything so well to our son who has a hearing impairment. I found all the people I dealt with Steve, Raymond the installers the electricians and Caroline in the office all very professional, supportive and very efficient. System working very well and we are looking forward to long sunny days.I would highly recommend Solar Generation to anyone thinking of getting solar pv panels.

Very happy with the installation and process

Excellent service. Very short time from decision to go ahead and the fitting. Fitting was really quick, the team were very neat and tidy. Information and support before and after has been excellent.

We want to say big thanks to all team for excellent, fast, good quality work. From start to finish Solar Generation have been excellent to deal with! We had contacted a number of companies but found Solar Generation to be by far the most professional and knowledgeable whilst remaining extremely competitive. The work was carried out with minimal disruption and we are already seeing the benefits. Thanks to everyone at Solar Generation especially Steve & Conor!

I found the service to be of the highest standard. The system was explained to me in advance and all questions addressed. There was good support in making the application to SEAI for the grant. When the contact was signed, the panels were installed in a morning and the electrical system installed in a day. All the work was done professionally and the place left in good shape.

My experience doing business with Solar Generation is very positive from start to finish; from the initial visit to after-sales service. I dealt with approximately seven different people, all excellent at their job; not pushy, efficient, mannerly, clean spoken, and easy to have about the house.
The process all happened very quickly. The roofers were here half a day and the electricians most of the next day. Caroline in the office sorted out all the paperwork and the grant money came through to our account a few weeks later.
We had one small problem afterward, which was no reflection on Solar Generation or their workmanship. However, the issue was dealt with promptly and without any hassle. As a result, I am very happy to give Solar Generation full marks for aftersale service.
As for the working of the panels, I am absolutely delighted. Just up approx. 7 weeks, in the dullest time of year, the difference has been noticeable. It is lovely to have so much hot water and I am very excited about the brighter weather coming in - they will be just amazing!

I contacted Solar Generation in August enquiring about solar panels. I had a very prompt response and a meeting was arranged at my house a couple of days later. Steve, the director of the company called to my house and spent an hour and a half with me talking through what my needs were, answering all my questions and making some suggestions for the installation that would suit my needs. He also gave me costs of various options. He checked out the layout of my house and took photos for working out the amount of solar electricity I would be able to generate, and later that afternoon Conor sent me a full quote and comprehensive data on what I could expect on a month by month basis for solar generation. I was happy with the quote and data and decided to go ahead with the installation. Ray, an electrician and installer called to my house a couple of days later to check out the wiring and where would be the optimal place to run cables, locate my battery and inverter. A week from my initial meeting with Steve, my panels were installed on my roof within a few hours. I was away on the day, so had arranged for the wiring to be completed the following week. The electricians turned up promptly the following week, took me through the app and gave me my logins before I went to work and by that afternoon my solar panels were fully operational. I found all the staff at Solar Generation to be professional, helpful and efficient. They also organised an assessor to complete my BER assessment (that I paid for separately) and all paperwork was completely promptly so I was successful in obtaining the SEAI grant for my system, which I received within the 6 week timeline they had stated. The system itself has been great, and my electricity bills have dropped. I expect to be almost fully self sufficient from February-October, and my solar panels will provide a smaller portion of my electricity from November - January. However because I will be producing a surplus, I expect that the new feed in tariff for my summer surplus will offset my winter bill. I would be happy to use the company again in the future if I was increasing the number of solar panels I have or installing an electric car charger.

Fast efficient and personal service . Panel’s working as described. Would highly recommend

I approached solar generation for an installation of 18 panels; and found them to be a lot more trustworthy than other companies i got quotes from before.
Raymond and Steven were extremely helpful to configure the system to our needs, installation and commissioning of the system was done with no fuss and on the date promised. The company also organised a BER assessor, and handled the SEAI grant from application to completion.
By the way, their quote was also the most competitive, and listed costings for various scenarios.
Job extremely well done

Delighted to get the solar panels installed. Look forward to seeing the proper efficiency of them in the summer months. Great service from the whole team in office and in house calls. Highly recommend them. Quick process of SEAI grant as well. Thank you Solar Generation

Great company to deal with. Everyone from sales person to installers seemed knowledgeable about the products. Even when we had a small issue someone was out to our house the same day to deal with it. Would highly recommend them.
