Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 524 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the professional and knowledgeable staff, from sales to installation, for providing excellent service and clear communication throughout the process. Many highlight the ease and efficiency of the entire experience, noting that the company handles everything smoothly from initial contact to final installation and post-install support, making their transition to solar energy simple and trouble-free. However, some customers noted issues with communication, experiencing delays in updates or information regarding installation plans, and a few also felt post-installation support was lacking, with difficulties getting help for inverter adjustments or correct tariff information. Additionally, some reviewers mentioned minor problems during installation, such as scaffolding delays, property damage, or installers leaving mess and handprints on panels.

Solar panels

Had solar fitted by this company today, five star service from start to finish. Easy to deal with, no pressure selling.
Always returned any calls or e-mails the same day.
Finishing today with an excellent ultra professional insulation by Matt and Scott.
They never stopped from the moment they arrived and worked so methodically, tiding up as they worked, left no rubbish or packaging behind.
If you ever use this company ask for this fitting team.

What do you do when it stops working?

I had a system designed for me back in 2023 when solar and batteries were just becoming mainstream. I would have benefited from a 5kw inverter, and this was later added by another contractor and we sold the old one on eBay. What I didn't appreciate was making changes, even with sunsynk installers apparently invalidates Contact Solar warranty. Subsequently an original battery has failed and despite being happy to give telephone and email support they wouldn't come back on site. When they discovered my system had been upgraded they have declined any help saying the terms and conditions etc. With complicated and often new technology back up and after service is paramount and whilst many glowing reports cover the initial installation. Whilst my system has worked as intended, with hindsight I would have spent more time choosing my supplier. Fortunately I have been able to find a local sunsynk installer to come and submit the warranty claim for me.

Just to correct the reply from Contact Solar, the invoice was dated November 2022 and I think after some initial teething problems it was not fully live and operational until the first weeks of 2023. They have still not supplied the electrical installation paperwork.

Reply from Contact Solar

Hello Julian,

We are disappointed to read this review, as we do not feel it provides a full or fair representation of the situation.

Your solar and battery system was originally installed by us over four years ago and operated without issue during that time. The problems being experienced have arisen following significant modifications made to the system by a third-party company, including the installation of a larger capacity inverter, an additional battery and incorrect cabling that was not supplied or installed by us.

Despite these unauthorised alterations to the original system, we still spent considerable time providing technical advice and support in an attempt to assist you remotely. Based on the information and photographs provided, it was clear that the system had been materially changed from its original design and specification, which inevitably affects both system performance and our ability to diagnose faults safely and accurately.

We always strive to support our customers wherever possible, even in circumstances where third-party modifications have complicated matters. However, we do not believe it is reasonable for Contact Solar to be held responsible for issues arising from equipment and installation work carried out by others years after our original installation.

We wish you the best in resolving the matter with the company responsible for the subsequent alterations.

Kind regards,

Contact Solar

Solar panel and battery installation

For years I'd delayed trying to get solar panels and batteries installed, mainly because of other people's negative experiences of installers and a lack of information about anyone trustworthy and reliable.
I approached Contact Solar because of their association with EDF (I hear about Contact Solar from EDF). From first contact until completion of the installation I've been consistently surprised and impressed by the staff's keenness to describe how things work and explain available options.
I hadn't previously understood what installing solar panels and batteries would involved but Contact Solar arranged every aspect, from working out possible layout of panels and other equipment (including a detailed survey of my property), arranging for a necessary upgrade to my electrical system and arranging a visit from UK Power Networks, scaffolders etc plus doing the administrative work to support an application for an export tariff.
Grateful to Contact Solar for making the process easy and pain-free. And at a very reasonable price, I thought.

Speedy Firmware update from Contact Solar

Installed our Sunsynk solar system and batteries last year, which has been working perfectly. Read on various forums that you should regularly check for Firmware updates, so contacted customer support by email. Received a reply within 24 hours from Jack saying that updates had to be done direct by Sunsynk and would I like him to arrange this. That’s what you call great customer service.

No after-sales support

These guys are really good at designing, project managing and installing your system. We bought a battery/solar system last year and all went reasonably well. After-sales support is non-existent though. I wanted to enquire about making some changes to my setup, I had to chase them several times to try and get some sort of response and got nowhere. Eventually I was talking to a guy from a rival company who said he had contacts there, the result? Contact Solar sent me a quote for a new system, so they are completely unaware of me as an existing customer. So, if you want a good system and installation, these guys are OK, but if after-sales support is important for you, best look elsewhere 🙂

Contact Solar fitted my solar panels over 4 years ago and are still providing me with support. When I email them with a query they always respond within 24 hours and often straight away. Would definitely recommend them for fitting and after sales service

My experience.

The process of agreeing the contract, installing the equipment, and changing to the new tariff was remarkably free of hassle. Very refreshing!

I found Contact solar very helpful and friendly, telling me from the first step how the process to putting up my solar panels, with the date and time for the scaffolding to be erected and to be removed.
The crew that arrived to install the system was again very friendly and explained everything to me. I am very happy with there work and would recommend this company to friends.

Will split my review into three sections.
1..office staff are helpful and full of information and sort out numerous enquiries. 5 stars.

2..scafololders not very contentious about putting scaffolding on felt roof, some damage done. 3 stars.

3...system installers efficient and maybe a bit to quick as left mess on roof, ie cable tie ends and bits of packing. Also did not wipe down panels after installation and leaving hand prints and smears on all of them which I will have to get cleaned by someone at some point. 4 stars.
So that gives the whole experience an average of 4 stars.

Contact Solar made the process of installing the solar panels very simple. The process was seamless and once the panels were installed they assisted me with the set up of the App and the tariff with EDF

Professional service throughout

From the original enquiry to the final installation, Contact Solar has provided a professional and friendly service. The team that did the install were knowledgeable, respectful and friendly. The post installation service and Tesla app run though has been very good. I can recommend the whole team.
