SolarPanel and battery supply
Overall the service and support we received with installation and setup was excellent.The advice we received was informative in regard to what would suit our property best to get the most out of solar. After installation we had difficulties switching our energy supplier plan. I contacted the customer service who put me in touch with a friendly support engineer who talked me through the process and next steps. While we are making a saving on our electric, the saving is not as much as first advertised and this system may not be suitable for all homes, this was explained at the time of sales and installation. However, we feel there is a benefit to being a cleaner energy user. We would recommend this company.

Thank you for such a thoughtful and balanced review.
We are really pleased to hear that you felt well supported throughout the installation and setup, and that the advice you received helped you choose a system suited to your home. It is also good to know our customer service team and support engineer were able to step in and guide you through the supplier change when things became a little more complicated.
We appreciate you being open about the savings element as well. As discussed during the process, results can vary from home to home depending on usage and tariffs, so it is reassuring to hear that this was clearly explained and understood. Just as importantly, we are glad the wider benefit of using cleaner energy is something you value.
Thank you again for your recommendation and for taking the time to share your experience. If you ever need further support or advice, we are always here to help.

Extremely satisfied with the installation of Solar Panels & Batteries
The advice we were given regarding the most suitable system for our needs was invaluable. It was easy to understand what the long term benefits would be with the installation of the Solar Panels & Batteries. By using the App we can clearly see the savings and our usage with the easy to understand graphics. It’s working for us - extremely satisfied.

Excellent from start to finish
The gentleman help4homes sent out to explain about the solar panels was very pleasant and knowledgeable, he did not push us for a sale. He simply gave us the info we needed and gave us time and space to make a decision. The panels were fitted without any real hassle, with the exception of the scaffolders, they were the only issue, other than that I was very pleased with the process.

I had solar panels fitted by Help4Homes and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. Communication was clear and straightforward, the team turned up when they said they would, and the installation itself was carried out professionally and efficiently.
The installers were friendly, tidy, and happy to explain how everything worked once the system was up and running. The quality of the workmanship is great, and everything was left clean and neat afterwards.
I’m really happy with the system and already seeing the benefits. I’d happily recommend Help4Homes to anyone considering solar panels — a smooth, stress-free experience all round.

Professional from start to finish.
I was dubious to begin with as I don’t like letting sales people in to my home but there were no hard sales pitches. Sarah just worked out if it would save me money or not and then recommended which way to go.
The system was then installed within 2 weeks as promised. The fitters were very professional and polite And completed very neat and tidy installation, I cannot fault them.
On completion there was a tiny dispute with the main office on what I expected to happen next but this was quickly resolved by them which I was more than happy with.
Over all I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ecoway renewables
