Gensource recently added battery storage to our existing PV panel setup. From my initial enquiry to the completed job they were attentive and knowledgeable. The install itself was neatly undertaken with minimal fuss, and all waste was taken away at the end. Everything that you would want from an installer working at your home.
Fantastic company, very professional, excellent customer service with great attention to detail, very happy with their work. Highly recommend.
Everyone I dealt with through Gensource, from initial query to completion of the air source heat pump installation, was friendly and professional. We had a failing gas system that required a complete replacement, including all new pipes and radiators in an old Victorian semi. The initial quote was high, but on a par with others. The system design gave us confidence, and after meeting Rob, we were happy to go ahead with a local firm. There was a pre site visit, so we had a good idea what to expect the week of the installation. The installers were total pros (especially Steve and Jerry), very friendly, efficient, and highly skilled. When issues cropped up, everything was discussed, so I felt well-informed throughout. The job was done within the week as promised, and they left the house neat, tidy, and toasty. Obviously, it's early days and we won't really be able to put it through its paces until next winter, but based on my experience, I would definitely recommend Gensource.
Gensource come highly recommended from us! We had a solar panel and battery system fitted on our house recently and the whole experience has been excellent. From the initial survey and recommendations done by Gav, to the communication with Robert and the installation by the in-house team - it was all brilliant. The SolarEdge system they supplied has been working well and the whole process of scaffolding going up to completion took less than a week. If you are looking for a very professional and reliable renewables contractor you should definitely consider Gensource.
Last August, Gensource installed 16 panels, split between our East & West facing roof, a Givenergy storage battery and new EV charger. They did a brilliant job from initial quote, pre-installation surveys and finished the whole installation in one day! They were very clued up on British Safety Standards and so our inverter and battery were installed externally with a protective canopy. The guys on site were brilliant and super efficient, explaining how everything worked, including the EV Givenergy App. And the system has been running fine with no faults. We got a 25% grant and 75% interest-free loan from Home Energy Scotland as we didn't have the cash in the bank. We're now getting money back from Octopus's Smart Export Guarantee when our battery is full and we're exporting to the grid. This will bring our loan payback period to well under 7 years. Quite regularly I look at our smart meter and there is no reading as everything is coming from the solar and battery. It fills me with joy that our house at times is totally powered by the sun and this will keep going for at least 25 years. Thanks to Josh, Robert and his team for a truly grand job! Neil
We engaged Gensource after a lengthy tender/consulation process. Gensource were professional throughout with excellent communication and delivered hassle free commercial and domestic installations. Every employee/contractor gave 100% to deliver both contracts timeously. I would have no hesitation in recommending Gensource for future work.
I reached out to Gensource for a sensible price on a new install for 9.9kW of Solar and a Tesla Powerwall. From the first communication it was clear I made the right choice, friendly bunch with no interest in pushing for a sale, rather they looked for a solution for us and advised on what we would need to do realise that. Following a very helpful site visit and review of what we needed and after a bit of to and fro around some skylight install happening around the same time we agreed on a solution and pushed on ahead. The guys were on site exactly when they needed to be, everything delivered bang on time and everything just went so smoothly, everyone we dealt with face to face and over the phone during the earlier stages was fantastic, friendly and keen to help us realise our goals of reducing our reliance on the grid and doing our part for the drive to Net Zero. Post installation service has been excellent also with all the post completion paperwork and details needed to get export payments on the go and following even minor queries are answered with enthusiasm and a genuine feeling of being happy to help. I cant recommend Gensource highly enough, we will certainly come back for any future needs for expansion, heat pumps or chargers.
