Green Energy Solar

Just had 8 panels & battery installed via Switch Together scheme. All working well. Customer service very good. Easy to ask questions and quick response times. The guys installing the electrics talked me through what they were doing and where the cables/boxes were going. The technical visit (from switch together) at the start of the process was useful - having a non salesperson come out & talk through where everything would go & give me reassurance re my roof was what I was looking for.

Green Energy Solar Bottom line first - GES delivered a great installation of a 13 panel solar system combined with a Tesla Powerwall 3 whole home battery backup plus a Tesla EV charger. We decided to installation a solar electric generation system at the start of 2026 and after some research obtained 6 outline quotes from a variety of installers in South West England. The outline quotes were varied in both scale and cost. There is quite a lot of high pressure selling in the solar generation sector and we declined any business employing such tactics. Our primary goal was to be self-sufficient in power supply with enough backup in the event of a multi-hour power cut. Selling excess power to the Grid was a minor issue. Although we do not have an EV we regarded having a charger as useful in the event that we move at some point in the future. Pre-sale. Part of the attraction of choosing Green Energy Solar - the furthest from us, based in Cardiff when we are in East Devon - was the ability of a sensible dialogue about our requirements and how best they could be met. Two factors stood out for us. First they are an Octopus Trusted Partner - Octopus being our energy supplier. Secondly they are a Tesla Powerwall premium installer. Planning. Installers need to conduct an on-site survey to make sure they meet all the formal requirements for an installation. This technical survey is important and results in getting all the equipment sited in the best places on your property. The man doing our survey was very diligent. Scaffolding. We needed scaffold for both front and back of our house. Getting this done dictates when an installation can be carried out. Scaffolding businesses can be vague about dates, especially once the solar installation is complete and you want the scaffolding removed asap. We’ve had several promised dates for removal and nothing happens. Ensure that you get a firm date for dismantling. Installation. Our system required 2 days for the work to be carried out. The first day was to complete all the electrical work - Powerwall, EV charger, cabling for the panels, connection to the meter, etc. The second day was for the roof supports for the panels to be fitted, the panels mounted and connected to the Powerwall, and testing of the complete system. Handover. When the panels had been installed the fitters gave us a broad rundown of how everything works, what all the switches, functions of the Powerwall, etc., plus some documentation. Subsequently GES sent a comprehensive set of documents as downloadable PDFs including the necessary certificates, warranties, and other documents that one needs to keep for the future. They have a customer services team if you need help with anything that you cannot find in the supplied documents. People. Salesman - Paul Glen, Surveyor - Martin Lewis, and the installer team all helpful and knowledgeable. Staff at Cardiff are friendly and keen to help ensure the work is a success as well as sorting out any issues that may arise. Cost & Payback. We didn’t aim for the cheapest solution. However, the difference between lowest and highest cost wasn’t huge in relation to the projected payback timescale. The biggest issue is getting the best tariffs for your needs. GES, being an Octopus Trusted Partner suggested tariffs that best met our objectives. Getting Octopus Energy to switch to these is our main concern. Conclusion. If you are in South Wales or South West England you should get a quote from GES. You will probably like what they can offer.

We are delighted with our solar panels and GES have been really easy to deal with through the whole process. They are quick to respond to queries, answer the phone quickly and they are real people so it's easy to solve any queries and everyone I have spoken to has been friendly and helpful. The installation was completed in a day and the guys worked so hard in very hot weather. They talked us through the app at the end ensuring we were set up understood how everything worked and left the site tidy. It was a real pleasure dealing with this company

Company installed 28 panels 2 Fox batteries, a zappi car charger and an eddi diverter. The service provided was fantastic. The team are very knowledgable and informative about the options available and provided various quotes for review. They were quite keen in installing 480w panels instead of the 510w panels i'd asked to be quoted. They did agree to quote for the larger panels, their site survey stated the larger wouldn't fit due to MCS regulations and so I conceded to the 480W. Post installation it looks like the 510W would have fit within regulation but it would have been close. This is the only reason ive not given 5 stars. Once all agreed the installation was done over 3 days by a great team over the hottest week of the year. The team were courteous and diligent the entire time and coordinated with a separate heat pump installer to ensure a neat collaborative installation. The post installation handover pack is comprehensive and informative. All in all I can highly recommend the company to anyone looking at a solar project

I have recently had a Tesla Powerwall 3 battery system installed at my property by GES. The whole process from initial inquiry to site visits and installation went smoothly and according to plan. The Installer worked steadily and set up a neat installation, cleared up the resultant mess, set up my mobile with the Tesla app and ran me through the layout and operation of the system. I chose GES due to their professionalism, excellent advice and the fact that they are MCS accredited for both battery and solar panel installations, something other companies don't have.

From the initial contact, the service fron Green Energy Solar was very professional yet friendly! The price was competative. Gethin, the electrician was courteous and very efficient! He did a very professional and tidy job of all the electrical installations! Luke and Jack arrived soon after Gethin had finished, and they also did a very efficient and tidy installation of the solar panels! I really cannot fault anything regarding the service and installation of our solar panels!!!! If you are looking to have solar panels, do not hesitate to contact this company, I cannot recommend them highly enough! A*****

I just installed a fourteen panels solar system with Green Energy Solar, it was a pure and simple pleasure to do this project with them. Everyone, but especially Paul Glen, are very professional, very polite and very carefully looking at the details of the work. They answered my questions and I received very useful advices. I am very pleased with what they have achieved. I appreciate being one of their thousands of customers. I highly recommend GES to anyone interested.
