What Our Customers Say

Our customers are at the heart of everything we do. From business owners cutting operational costs to families lowering household bills, here’s what they have to say about switching to solar with start solar.

Absolutely delighted with my solar panels, Suzie came out to the house and gave us a great breakdown of how the systems worked, we opted for 16 panels, battery and inverter, already seeing the savings.

The guys on the install were very professional polite and very tidy, after the install they sat with me and went through the app in detail and how it all works..

Highly recommend start solar if you are considering getting a solar install..

Graeme

I had 16 Solar panels totally 7.12Kw (10 on front roof, 6 on back) installed on 30 Jul along with 2x 5Kw batteries.
I was very surprised that only 2 guys turned up as I was expecting a huge crew considering the work.
The two guys were tidy, polite & had the install finished & handed over by lunch time. Can’t fault them.

The initial consultation with Andrew was also quick & painless & he messaged the evening of the install to check I was happy with how the guys had worked & behaved while at my house.

The install was delayed due to the bank taking FOREVER to get the loan sorted but once the money had arrived in my account the install was complete within 2 weeks.

System is generating away, charging my EV, running the house & exporting a little which is impressive since it’s been cloudy & wet since the install.

Would definitely recommend start solar to friends looking Solar in Northern Ireland.

David Cheyne

I had a great experience with start solar and would highly recommend them. From the initial enquiry through to installation, the whole process was very smooth and quick. The team are professional and efficient. Installation was completed in just a couple of hours with no fuss, and everything was left clean and tidy. The system itself is very easy to use and manage, with clear instructions and support if needed. I’m delighted with the results and already seeing the benefits. An excellent service all round.

Damien Hillen

Really happy with the solar installation. The team did a super tidy job – panels look great, wiring is neat, and everything was left clean. They turned up on time, worked efficiently, and explained how everything works in a way that was easy to understand.

It’s clear they take pride in their work, and it shows in the end result. Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about getting solar to get in touch with Andrew at start solar.

Keith Murphy

start solar install team arrived, fitters and electricians, very knowledgeable and competent. Clean and tidy. Guys explained in detail how my system worked and how to get the best efficiency from it. Well pleased.

Wallace Douglas

start solar were excellent at guiding us through all the options we had when it came to adding solar and a battery to our house. From the initial phone chat with Suzie, to our assessment with Andrew, we were confident we had picked the right business to work with.

I was particularly keen to ensure that the installation was neat and fitted in well with the existing design of the house, which is where Damien and the install team did such an excellent job. I’ve been so happy the whole process – we have not imported any electricity from the grid since the install one month ago (in fact we are now exporting!).

Would highly recommend.
