Good record, gaps to check

55 out of 100, with a caution: only 3 reviews held yet. A small public record keeps the evidence thin, and the score reflects that.

Our solar panels were fitted a few years ago by Microgen. The service was great and even now Chris continues to be helpful and supportive with any issues we have. We would highly recommend!
