Would recommend to all. Fantastic experience

We were directed to Viking by GivEnergy after another company went cold- the contact and communications have been excellent throughout. Really clear discussion over the telephone to get an idea of what we were looking for, transparent costs from an early stage as well. Chris came out to visit and was not in a rush, really thorough and helpful chat- then booking process with Stuart was easily done with the team arriving promptly and cracking on with the installation. Battery enlargement and EV charger installation completed and working great. Follow up to ensure all going to plan as well. Have already recommended to friends nearby who are considering solar/EV- would recommend to everyone

I'm delighted with my recently installed solar panels. The instalation went smoothly and all happened very quickly, the electricians and roofers did a really neat job. My latest learning curve has been switching the panels off before a planned power cut (the delights of living in rural Scotland). A big shout out to the ever patient Stuart who took my phone calls and increasingly daft questions all in his stride. I would 100% recommend Viking to anyone thinking of getting solar panels

Did an excellent job

Did an excellent job, took longer to install extra battery & auto mains switch to my system. Was informed with everything they were doing as needed to keep power off for as short as time as medical equipment in the house.👍

First-class customer-oriented experience

Excellent service from first site visit to post-installation documentation. Communication faultless throughout. Roofers and electricians worked like Trojans to complete the installation in a single day and were only defeated by the failing evening light. Back the following day to finish off. Everything left very tidy.

We are absolutely delighted with the advice and installation of our PV system. It was a very professional experience and the excellent install team noticed a major defect in our overhead supply line. They reported this to Scottish Power who fixed on the same day too. Having access to the app to see the power we are generating and returning to the grid is addictive! We highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a PV system, and we'll be getting them back to install an EV charging point for our guests staying in the farm cottages.

great price and great service

I used Viking for Solar panels and electric car charging point for a new build house. I arranged various quotes for the work and Viking came in the best price. They were easy to contact, any on-site visits they always showed up when they said they would and called me when they were on the way. My solar had to be installed in 2 stages, the roof panels when the house/roof was being installed and then they came back and arranged the electrical connection and internal work once the electrics were connected in the house. I would 100% use Viking for any future work.

The standard and level of communication…

The standard and level of communication was exemplary from the outset. This gave us the reassurance and confidence to proceed with the installation. On the day, the team worked collaboratively in very hot conditions.The care they took was obvious and all our questions were willingly answered.

I’m very pleased with the service

I’m very pleased with the service, delivery and fitting of my solar panels. I don’t have a battery but last month, June 2025, my electricity bill was £64, I exported £84 meaning my electricity supplier paid me £20 with no electricity bill. This included charging my car throughout the month. I am over the moon. Thank Viking

Solar done right!!

Excellent service from start to finish. Initial consultation from chris & nick was good very knowledgeable about all different options available to me. Installation was a breeze with the roofing team and Darius the electrician. Final support from Stuart in setting up my SEG tariff was also flawless. Highly recommend this company. No pushy sales like I experiencing with several other companies.

PV and Battery Storage installation with EPS - From the initial conversations and Q&As with Nick and Nairn, the in depth on site review by Chris then the actual work carried out by Darius the electrical engineer and Lee and John the roofers, this is a totally professional team. Darius in particular did a splendid job working almost 12 hours to complete the installation. Would 100% recommend this company.

The roofer also discussed with me. They worked really hard all day . Everything was cleaned up at the end. It was a long day but they remained cheerful !! Professional throughout .

My partner and I recently used Viking for solar, battery and EV charger installation work, and they’ve been brilliant from the very beginning. From the first phone call with Stuart, they were friendly, professional, and easy to deal with. What really stood out was the consultation process—there was no pushy sales pitch, just a clear explanation of our options and what would work best for us. It felt like Chris genuinely cared about helping us make the right choice, not just trying to sell something. The installation itself was flawless. The guys doing the internal electrical work and a second team installing the roof panels turned up on time, worked efficiently, and were super tidy. Everything was done to a really high standard, and they made sure we were completely happy before wrapping up. Overall, Viking has been a pleasure to work with. Great people, excellent work, and amazing customer service. Highly recommended! 11/03/25 - Got Viking back for an additional battery install. Same high standard of work as previously experienced. Dariusz arrived on time, explained what he would be doing and completed all work without issue. First class!

Viking Electrical Contractors installed…

Viking Electrical Contractors installed solar panels and battery for our house. We chose them because they put the best proposal for quantity of solar panels and size of battery that would suit our requirements. Their price was competitive and they did not attempt to pressure us in to an immediate decision. The installation was very efficient and included the electrician having to resolve a settings issue with our router. To date, system is working very well. We’re very pleased.

Superb service and delivery from day 1 to installation and support

When i first read the trustpilot, I could not believe a company could be so good. However, having just had my battery installed I can say that Viking have been amazing from the very start of the process to now. Feeling so grateful to have chosen them to do the job, Thank you Viking for your help and great support. Chris, Stewart, Darius etc all execellent.

Installation great, support no so much

People very friendly and helpful. Minor issue with installation because if an issue with battery supply from manufacturers but all installed without fuss. We had some issues after installation, possibly due to low temperatures ( anything below 16°C can cause issues with battery charging and discharging) that are still not completely resolved. The support from the manufactures of the battery and inverter has been poor so I would not recommend Fox ESS equipment, although it may be working correctly. I have asked them to confirm what we are seeing is 'expected' but no response. Having said that the ability to monitor and look back at all aspects of the system is excellent

We worked with Nick, Chris, Darius and the whole team for our Solar PV, Battery and Inverter installation. From the first call with Nick right through to installation today it has been a smooth process with all my (many) questions being answered and nothing too much trouble. The whole installation team were great, tidy, polite and very knowledgeable and walked us through the whole system. We are very happy customers .

Excellent team delivering good solar power.

From the very first visit from Chris through to the final connection by Darius and Ava our experience of Viking was first class, The information provided was clear and helped us to decide to install solar. The work was completed in a speedy and efficient way. We were kept informed throughout the process. The site of the work was left tidy and clean. We are now seeing our panels generate electricity and thats a great feeling.

Great company to deal with. No nonsense sound advice, with no sales hype. Installation was smooth and the guys couldn't have done better. Looking forward to many years of harvesting the energy of the sun, and optimising energy management.

Highly recommend Viking for any solar panel installation

Nairn and team were very professional from start to finish of the project and always took the time to explain each stage of the project and any changes required to ensure a successful result. All the team were experienced, hard working and very tidy. I am very pleased with the result - the “in roof” system both looks great and delivers the expected output. I would recommend Viking without hesitation!

Enthusiastic and professional installation

Nairn and his team were enthusiastic, professional, and efficient. I wanted to inquire about upgrading my new home build inverter, installing a battery, and installing a car charger. They gave me honest recommendations and always took my perspective into consideration. They were extremely responsive and patient during the quote and install process. Even though it was a bit tricky, Nairn was able to relocate the invertor from the attic down to the garage with no visible damage to the new home. We ended up with a fox ess 10kwh battery system, 3.5 KW hybrid inverter, and ohme home pro charger. Couldn't be happier with the system and Nairn's work.

Viking were punctual, efficient, friendly. They installed our solar panels with minimum of fuss and disruption and left our home as clean and tidy as when they arrived. I'm not easily impressed but from our first contact with the company they have delivered a first class service. Their work speaks for itself. Thank you Nairn and all the team involved,
