I can’t rate Andy and his team highly enough. We had solar panels and a battery installed two years ago. What really sets this company apart is their after sales service. We’ve recently had a problem with our bird guard being pulled out by pigeons but as soon as I contacted Andy they came straight over to sort it out. Excellent professional company who care about their customers. We’ve just had an inverter installed for our hot water and are also thinking of a second battery.

I had a problem with the inverter in my roof not working, Greencap ordered a new one and within around 10 days i had a new one fitted. The engineer that came was polite and professional.

Greencap Energy have completed various installations across our sites in Richmond, Surrey which we have been pleased with the outcome of the work. The work involved installation of the PV panels together with inverters and batteries on each of the sites

Greencap Energy have been wonderful throughout a fairly substantial project for us in Eton. Andy and his team of professionals were efficient, and took care of every detail, from initial inspection right through to completion and sign off with utility suppliers. We have since made arrangements to work with them on other projects, and look forward to many more successful projects together. Couldn't recommend them more highly.

From the outset, Andy was extremely helpful in helping me understand how our solar panels worked, how they integrated with the battery and the grid and which tariff to use to minimise costs. Would thoroughly recommend and made setting up the house super easy..

Our inverter unit for our solar panels needed replacing. Greencap Energy were able to get a new unit sourced almost immediately and sent out an electrician within a few days of my request for help. Great service and excellent outcome.

Very very pleased and impressed by Green Cap. Everything was completed and complete as promised to the hour. The process was excellent. Everyone who was working on this project is really professional and knows their "stuff". Thank you for bringing my house into the 21st century. Excellent work.

Honest company with great service

Andy and his team installed our solar panels for us. What I particularly liked was Andy's frank honesty and his timely response to everything. When we decided to investigate going solar the world and their wives contacted me trying to sell me this and that. Andy and his team told me we shouldn't put solar on our main pitch as we wouldn't generate enough energy, and together we worked out we could put them on the flat roof on my office. He also advised us to hold of getting a battery until we were really sure we needed it. Whereas some of the other companies I had previously approached were trying to get us to buy a battery and install solar on a part of our roof where they would never generate energy! I am really grateful we went with Andy. We had a great experience and the after sales service has been great too. I thoroughly recommend them. Our solar panels are also great and helping bringing down our energy costs.

Solar Panel Installation

This company installed solar panels for us. From start to finish they were polite, professional and got the job done quickly and efficiently. They organised everything, from the initial survey and scaffolding installation, to the subsequent fitting of the solar panels and the final paperwork. It was a pleasure to do business with them throughout, and I would not hesitate to recommend this company.

GreenCap recently installed 12 panels on my flat roof, plus a 5kWh battery. The service was fantastic all the way through the process. First of all, most of the other companies recommended ballast buckets for the roof, which would have added significant weight and I wouldn't have been able to fit 12 panels. Similarly I wanted East-West orientation which despite being slightly less efficient, has some advantages for my roof - higher panel density, flatter generation curve, more evening generation. Again, Andy understood the requirements and recommended a fixing system which bolted the panels direct to the roof. This also results in better aerodynamics which is handy as there is a high wind load on my roof (it is 4 stories up). Since the recent issues with Russia, demand for solar has gone through the roof (no pun intended) so obviously there were some delays. The batteries and inverter were hard to get hold of so I needed to wait for the shipment. In addition, as I was installing more than 3.6kWh, we needed permission from the Grid (DNO). All this takes time, so don't have unrealistic expectations for timescales. Put your order in and be patient - hopefully you will be up-and-running by the summer. Prices were competitive - having researched the individual component prices, I think the overall price I was charged was reasonable given the service it entailed. Overall, I cannot rate Andy and his team highly enough, but you will need to be patient. P.S. Please ignore the reviewer who gave 1 star.

I saw Greencap Energy as highly rated local firm on Checkatrade website. Emailed them an inquiry detailing what is required. (Have a 3kWh Solar PV system, and exporting excess energy to the grid. Just need an AC coupled inverter + couple of storage batteries added to the existing installation. Really, not a rocket science.) Got a response back from Andy saying "Currently there is a long lead time on the batteries so I can’t help.". Are you kidding me? This is furthest from "pro business", "can do attitude" I have seen from a tradesman in a long time. Not a rocket science. If I was the owner of a small business the workflow would be something along the lines of: - you need a specification of X, Y and Z; - cost is going to be X; - delivery time is going to be delayed to X due to X, Y and Z; - to proceed I need X% deposit in advance; - take payment; - put in a date in the caleder - watch those £££ roll in. Really these guys need a business development person. P.S. Then the guy emailed back saying "There is a very long wait time on batteries at the moment, our most used battery isn’t due till 20th of December right now". Checked the most common batteries and they are in stock, ready for immediate delivery at 3 major stockists, wholesalers and will be in stock end of August, ready to ship on 1st of Sept at a 4th one. Myself and Greencap Energy Ltd is a match not made in heaven!
