About the company

The Good Electrical Company is a specialist installer of Solar P.V and Battery Storage Systems based in Bristol. The company's team of solar engineers guides customers through the whole journey, explaining details and understanding their needs and expectations for the system. It installs solar for homes and businesses. The company offers a free survey and quotation of the property.

The installation process begins with an initial survey where an engineer inspects the roof, takes measurements, and assesses electricity usage. On a standard-type modern roof, a full structural survey is not required as engineers calculate the impact of additional loading during the design phase. The company provides a fixed price quotation detailing all equipment to be installed and any relevant installation method details, along with a detailed Solar PV generation estimate and a return-on-investment calculation.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

The Good Electrical Company draws consistent praise for photovoltaic and battery work, with customers highlighting Oliver and Sam's knowledge and the care taken at every stage. Reviewers describe detailed explanations during quoting, helping homeowners weigh up technologies and system options before committing. The standard of the finished job is a recurring theme: cabling is described as neat, workmanship as meticulous, and one account notes a bespoke fixing approach for clay tiles that others had overlooked.

Punctuality and hard work feature strongly, with crews putting in long shifts to finish demanding installations in awkward roof spaces while keeping disruption low. Communication is another point that comes up often, spanning the initial visit and roof survey through to follow-up support once the system is running. Pricing is described as fair and comparable with other quotations, while the service itself is seen as going well beyond expectations.

Named team members are credited with coordinating alongside builders, resolving unforeseen problems and fitting as many panels as a difficult roof would allow. Completed systems have used GivEnergy, Solax, myenergi and Powerwall equipment, and customers report that performance matches what was promised and that the finished result looks smart. Aftercare is repeatedly described as attentive, with the team returning to make sure everything works as it should and genuinely caring about the households they serve.

I went with these guys after they did a really good job installing an EV charger a few years ago. They were absolutely brilliant throughout the whole process, they are very knowledgeable about what to install and were able to answer any complex technical questions I had. They were also able to install an additional 4 panels compared to other local installers, due to the high quality mounting system they use. The installation itself is brilliant and you can tell how much pride they take in their work. I can't recommend them enough!

Outstanding service from a very professional and respectful team who went above and beyond for us! Communicated extremely well, making sure we understood and were happy with all parts of the process. Kept disruption to an absolute minimum, which was really appreciated, and delivered an amazing result - we are so happy with our system! Would highly recommend Ollie and the team to anyone :)

Oliver and his team provide a terrific service from beginning to end. We had 20 solar panels installed in a difficult location and the whole team worked extremely hard to complete the job. Working for 12 hours straight on two of the hottest days recorded in May. (4-days to complete the work) Excellent follow up and support. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

We had rooftop PV + battery installed by Good Electrical Company, and the entire experience was great. Oliver goes the extra mile for his customers, and he is incredibly knowledgeable. The work they did is stunning, neat as a pin, and everything works seamlessly one month on. They put extra effort into the installation to make it last, e.g., a special attachment method for clay tiles (other installers didn't understand the failure mode or even the difference between clay and concrete tiles). The quote was competitive, but the level of service and workmanship was a level above. I have experience with mediocre installers (e.g., Swift did our ASHP and EV charger last year that just don't work well); it is easy to fall into traps with new technologies. Thanks to The Good Energy Company, I dodged one such bullet: A few other installers (and Google AI) recommended GivEnergy kit despite GivEnergy being on the brink of collapse and their kit at risk of being bricked. Oliver, having insider's knowledge, talked me out of it. GivEnergy went bust. It really pays off to have a good installer on your side. PV+battery is the best investment you can make right now (providing that you choose the right installer). I highly recommend The Good Electrical Company.

Oliver was very knowledgeable, managed to maximise the number of solar panels on our slightly tricky roof, and deal with other issues that came up unexpectedly. He liaised with our builders and dealt with everything very efficiently. Would definitely recommend!

Had a Powerwall 3 installed by Oliver and his team. They did an excellent job from start to finish. Good planning and installation meant that it was a very tidy install, even plumbing in a string of 5 existing solar panels and fixing an existing EV electrical issue, along the way. The team's expertise and knowledge meant that they were able to navigate some quirks with Tesla smoothly and efficiently. I am very pleased with the resultant system, which has already saved us £100 from our monthly bill (even before the sun has started to shine!). Can definitely recommend the professional team at The Good Electrical Company.

Fantastic service and install from The Good Electrical Company who supplied and fit solar panels and inverter at our school. The work was done quickly and efficiently with no negative impact on the school despite one week of it being during term time. They worked long hours to get what seemed to be a complex job done within the specified dates. Highly recommend them.
