“Tommy and Adam were conscientious, hardworking and polite. Keen to provide a top quality service, they care about maintaining their excellent reputation. This is reflected in excellent communication you wouldn't always get from a national or even regional installer. The installation went exactly as projected. We were offered options where relevant. Tommy gave consideration in the layout of the equipment for future upgrades.”

Highlights
“We had Tommy and his team here to install our system and we couldn't recommend them enough! I must admit this is all very confusing for us, and we got quotes from other companies beforehand but they all felt like salesman trying to force something on us, but there was no pressure at all from Solar Specialists. Tommy explained every part of it in detail and he offered us multiple systems that were tailored to what we needed. It's refreshing to talk to a company that's not got salesman and talk directly to an engineer who's installing it and can give the best system for us personally.”
“Solar specialists done some work for us earlier in the year. They was very polite and tidy. They made the process very hassle free for us. They done a great job and we’ve had no issues whatsoever. Would highly recommend Tom and his boys for any solar needs”

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.
