Solar Armour did a fantastic job fitting a battery system to our solar panels.
I am very happy with my battery and solar panels and all the installation. The guys come on the date arranged and on time. The work they did was of very good quality and put the battery and gate way exactly where I wanted it to be. Battery and solar panels are now saving me money. I only have one photo. 3 panal on the back, 6 panal on the front. Top marks and all for a good price. Well done.
I had a great experience with Solar Armour. The team was super clean, respectful, and clearly took pride in their work. The quality of workmanship was excellent, with everything done neatly and professionally. What really stood out was the follow-up after the job was completed—they checked in to make sure everything was working perfectly and that I was happy with the result. Highly recommend Solar Armour Ltd for anyone looking for reliable, high-quality service.
Very good company installed extra batteries very professional clean and tidy job
Great when purchasing but terrible after completely ignoring calls emails constant problems as miss sold us on what we actually wanted to what was needed my advice stay well clear Was great in beginning but when I became more up on the system and what we needed it was clear it wasn’t what we got. Once we was out of 12 month period have been completely ignored I feel if we had purchased their monthly instalment plan it may be different but hard to give a company any more money that has performed so bad when you need them. They still don’t even have the correct information on our installation after many attempts to get it updated. I feel our system is installed in the wrong place and our installers didn’t have the knowledge to do the job properly for longevity You employ a so called expert to do a job and they let you down and then treat you terribly for questioning them
Professional installation. They will guide you through every step of the process and deliver excellent workmanship. My house configuration included i've installed 2 Tesla powerwall batteries (one main, one expansion pack), 8 solar panels and a Hypervolt EV charger. Also, prices are quite compelling and comparable with the rest of the market.
Matt and his very pleasant team were quick tidy and efficient. A credit to the firm
Had an addition to my existing solar system, as my property faces east/west, only catching the sun in the afternoon when it comes out at the back, where the older panels are situated, so I decided to have another 10 panels added to the system on the front of the house, and also an upgrade to the battery system, to which in the event of a power cut, I have full power coverage over whole house. The work was carried out by Solar Armour Ltd, well impressed with their work and would highly recommend them, good after sales service as well. Update; just had another 13.5kw battery installed, giving me a total storage capacity of 27kw, plus a Solar iBoost fitted for heating my hot water system, hopefully reducing the cost of my gas bill, another great job done by the team.👍
Very speedy job, scaffolding went up the day before the pannels
i had this business contact me about…SOLAR PANELS
i had this business contact me about solar panels, seemed professional at start, I explained looking at a grant with council but was interested. They asked send a rep around. I said could make no decisions, they said that was fine, lovely guy came around and explained all. very good he gets two stars. Then I had follow up emails , phone calls , then one eveingin driving I had a call explained driving, told takes two mins. So pulled over and again guy not give me a name and was a mobile not recognise bombarded me about getting them to come with them. I said council were due next day to visit. Would get in touch. This I had intended to do. I did laugh and say to guy please do not bombard me with load emails for this call, which he not like. But then this guy turned funny and said GOOD LUCK BEING RIPPED OFF WITH THE COUNCIL. Then hung up.!! Someone called me a few days later, I Explained he wanted give me discount and said would come back to me not heard anything since. Hardly a professional unit, now would not touch them with a bargepole. Even though they were the cheapest. So rude.
Although our contract had expired, I was very disappointed with the aftercare provided by Solar Armour. We experienced a battery error, but were told by Mark that it was a DC fault caused by pigeons getting under the solar panels on our flat roof, despite bird guards having been installed. The proposed solution involved a £195 call-out fee (which could be applied toward repair costs), plus the cost of scaffolding, panel removal, and full rewiring. Altogether, this would have cost more than any savings we’ve made over the past three years. I raised concerns about the error message, which clearly indicated a battery fault. These concerns were dismissed, and I was told I would be sent a copy of their error report, which never arrived. I later sought a second opinion, and the issue was resolved immediately at no extra cost. It was, in fact, a battery issue. I’m particularly disappointed that no responsibility was taken for the lack of warning about potential vermin damage, despite bird guards being fitted. Solar Armour provided excellent service at the start, but once you're out of contract, support is limited and costly. I would advise others to proceed with caution.
Solar Armour were very knowledgable and were able to recommend the perfect system that best suited my household. The install was very straight forward, the installers were polite and left the work site clean. After 6 months the system is running smoothly and performing above expectation. Would definetely recommend
Solar Armour have been an excellent company for me. They corrected a fault with my panels, after a number of month trying to get someone to do this. They installed TIGO to connect my panels independently. They have also added a battery onto my solar panel system. Very easy to deal with and are very helpful.
Installation of Solar Panels, GivEnergy batteries and Full home Air Conditioning. Very happy with all the work they have done, trustworthy reliable and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend. A*
Went with Solar Armour as a good sales pitch and wanted to improve the energy efficiency of our home. The guys doing the installation were very good and helpful, however this is where the issues began. During the installation they left a roof tile lifted - come the rain and we have water damage to both our roof, into one of our bedrooms and to the rendering out the front of the house. Called to ask them to come and fix this - promised several times that someone would come out to inspect, no show 3 times having waited in for them!! Finally said they'd send someone out to fix the above problems - not a trained person in any of these fields, just an oddjob man - yet again, nothing happened! During the install they also installed bird caging but instead of doing it the whole way round to ensure no gaps, they left a nice gap between our old and new panels which has now meant we have 20+ pigeons inhabiting our roof under the panels, pooing all over our car, garden and roof constantly. Again, asked them to come out and sort this as was promised during the install and yet again, absolutely nothing. Aftersales and care has been absolutely terrible and if nothing occurs we will have to start a legal claim.
For approximately 3-4 weeks this company keeps calling trying to sell me solar panels. They say they got my details from an enquiry form that went to many companies. I have not looked for solar panels. That aside I repeatedly say remove my details and stop calling and I block the number. I am not interested in getting solar panels. The woman on the phone just hangs up and calls back a few days - a week later from a different number. I am going to report this to Trading Standards as it's unacceptable. I'm leaving this review because yet again the woman called and hung up mid sentence to me asking her to stop calling and remove my details.
From working with us on the design of the system, through installation and after care including certification with the energy suppliers our experience of working with Solar Armour was exceptional. Lewis and Amy (our main contacts) were always very professional, available at any time to answer any questions we had. The installation itself went without a hitch, panels, battery storage and commissioning all completed in one day. We would strongly recommend Solar Armour if you’re considering a solar system.
GREAT PRODUCT, GREAT COMPANY, GREAT PRICE We were unsure about whether to retro-fit battery storage. The Solar Armour team took the time to answer our queries before we committed to the battery. After we decided to proceed, they immediately scheduled a technical survey and soon after, the installer fitted the system in less than a day. From searches, I had found a few battery storage companies that had very good reviews for their installation and post-installation service. However, there were question marks about the level of after-care from the actual manufacturers of their products. Solar Armour fitted a 5.2 kW battery made by GivEnergy. I had found good reviews of the product and the manufacturer's aftercare. After originally installing Solar in 2013, we suffered from serious issues - such as the system not working for 2 years. It had been very painful - and expensive - to get the system up and running again. After that experience, we were determined to go with a company which is HIES-registered - like Solar Armour. The HIES registration is effectively a third-party warranty, which gives us added peace of mind.I would strongly recommend Solar Armour. Their service as installer has been professional. They have always responded to emails, phone calls etc. promptly. Further, they provide an excellent product. The GivEnergy battery has a fantastic app. You can easily see when the battery is charging. It's rewarding to see the mix of energy from solar/battery/the grid etc. Solar Armour's prices are extremely competitive.
Considering solar installers are the next double glazing salesmen with every other advert on social media giving incorrect solar offers. “For free” etc. I was very worried about being sold something that wouldn’t fulfil our needs. My install was very complex (listed property multiple inverters, long cable runs, ground mounted array) and when the salesman came he admitted it very quickly that this was out of his depth and organised a site survey from the installing electrician. Solar armour was the only company that listened to what I required then quoted. Since then I have got my head around the tech and have asked them back to fill in the gaps. I have referred Solar Armour to others. Only negative is the fact it was not the cheapest. But as the saying goes “You get what you pay for”
We were naturally sceptical about using a unknown comany but from the first meeting our worries started to fade away. The presentation by the salesman was excellent, I should know as I have spend my whole working life in sales some 60 years and happily retired now. No pressure was applied just gentle positive reasons given to say yes which we did and went to the next stage a survey which secured the deal. The installation followed and went very well with excellent standard of workmanship. Questions answered and then the final bit all the paperwork came. In my opinion Solar Armour are one if not the best independent comany in the competitive market maybe not the cheapest but valus for money.
A representative from Solar Armour, Ltd company made an appt with me to present how solar would work at my home. I waited for the representative and no one ever showed up. 3 days later I received an email with an attachment which contained a quote for any house - not my house since no one from your company had attended. No explanation for my questions. No conversation of where & how the panels would be installed on my house. If this is how your company treats a potential client during the period where you are trying to get my business - it is not the type of business I would trust.
