Andrew and his team have just installed 14 panel, 6.65 kW with 10kWh battery at my home. No nationwide solar selling, a straightforward engineering proposal discussed and agreed up front, at a good justified cost. Installation was excellent, professional, neat, with minimal disruption, in the agreed timeframe despite the appalling weather. My recommendation is to avoid the hype, and talk to Andrew, he knows what he is doing.

I had a few quotes for solar panels and Andrew was by far the most knowledgeable and straight forward person to deal with. He really knew what he was talking about and did all the right checks. The quote was for the most recent versions of the GivEnergy products (unlike some other quotes) and the work was done perfectly. I'm very happy with my installation and with the quick response to an e-mail when there was a simple problem.
Easy to work with, no silly hard sell tactics, great price and excellent workmanship. You won’t get any better.

Electrical work in homes in England & Wales should be done by a registered competent person who can self-certify it meets the Part P safety rules. Check they're on the official register.
Check the electrical registerIn England and Wales, notifiable electrical work (new circuits, a consumer unit, anything in a bathroom or kitchen) must by law be signed off under Part P of the Building Regulations. Confirm they will handle that.
Prefer an electrician registered with a government-approved competent-person scheme (NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA) so they can self-certify the work meets the wiring regulations.
Insist on the Electrical Installation Certificate (or Minor Works Certificate) when the job is done. It is your proof the work is safe and compliant, and you will need it if you ever sell.
