Greenman Solar Ltd

Next update to review July 2026 (24 months review) Updated 20/08/25 Savings: Year one £1999 Elec /solar (data source Tesla app) of which £634 was paid back to us as export payments £200 Gas (data source BG billing)] Total = £2199 Game changer moving on to British Gas (BG) EV Tariff Feb 25. 00:00 to 05:00 @ a rate of 7.9 per kWh, this allows me to recharge the Tesla battery as well as use the I-Boost to heat the water and save on the water being heated by gas; This in turn allows us to sell back to BG @ 15.5p per Kw. I would like to commend the Greenman Solar (GMS) teams, from the back office to the instillation team for a professional job, as well as their aftercare. Pre-install the design team were on hand to answer questions as well as confirm design and technical details; they even came to site to walk through the install. The install teams, erection of the scaffolds to commissioning were profession and kept me fully informed. Throughout the process there was no pressure to hand over a deposit, full payment not required until we were happy with the final commissioning. We had been looking to get Solar onto our property (4 bed detached) over these past few years, and yes, we did find the process daunting. We talked to several companies, some who were happy to quote having not even visited the property, we then had the standard quotes which to be honest were pages and pages of data which did not really mean anything to us. However, GMS stood out head and shoulder above the rest with their personable approach and site visit. Dean and Keith worked with us to get the solution we were after and were more than happy to talk through options and solutions; my wife did not want to see any unnecessary cables, any that were visible were had to be neat; the battery had to be in the garage and the cables had to be run underground alongside the front of the property. At no time did we feel we were under any time pressure or a have a commitment to proceed. It’s now been twelve months since the GMS team commission the Solar arrays and battery at my property (24th June 2004); However, to allow for a fair and honest feedback I thought I would update as we move through the first year and having had feedback regarding the return on our export figures. Suffice to say is WOW, the install and Solar journey has far exceeded our expectations, we attribute this down to the design and professionalism of the install team. We feel the design was bang on and is doing what is expected and more. The Tesla Powerwall 2 battery is surely the star of the show and has been invaluable in facilitating good use of our store energy long after the sun has gone down; change rate of 5.0 Kw per hour from Solar, The design allowed for having the arrays on both elevations of our roof, a positive design feature; we are catching the sun all day even between the clouds; will generates even when overcast which allows for basic household demand to be covered. Over the last year we are showing as being depended on a supply from the grid of only 26%; . We are also saving on the gas as the hot water is being heated by the Solar iBoost . Having moved to an EV tariff now allows us to heat the water during the early hours and then being topped up during the day as we send back power to the grid; having the battery charged overnight allows for a quick return as the sun comes out. The Tesla battery is doing its job and discharging thought-out the evening and early hours as well as being topped up via the early morning EV tariff. The installation has shifted our approach to energy consumption, focusing on maximising the use of excess solar energy instead of selling it back to the grid, leading to more strategic use of appliances during sunny periods. Why would I sell back to BG at 15.5p per Kw and then if I need to, buy back at 27.06 per Kw We use the BBC weather app to help plan our usage and help get best use out of our Solar system.

Had solar panels installed a few years back by another company. Unfortunately I didn't go with the recommendation of bird proofing which was not a good idea. So recently decided to get the birdproofing done. Greenman Solar's team got the job done in record time and it didn't cost the earth. Will certainly recommend to anyone needing this service.

Mr T Sharp. Very pleased with the service from GREENMAN ltd during what must be very busy times for them. Got our panels fitted a good 2 months earlier than we thought we would. They dealt with a somewhat awkward roof very well.

9 months on from installation and we are completely satisfied with our system which is performing in all seasons exactly as promised. The initial visit, design, installation and resolving a problem with UK Power Network's admin were managed flawlessly by the team. Communication was excellent and all staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. We paid a small deposit and balance a week after completion. MCS & other paperwork followed. I have no hesitation in recommending Greenman Solar who delivered a great service at a competitive price.

From the outset Keith and his team have been professional, courteous, and a pleasure to deal with. Their workmanship was extremely good, both on the fitment of the panels and also the install of the battery pack and associated electrics. The install team were friendly and polite and left the work areas vacuumed and clean. Also a shout out to UK scaffolding who put up the access. Well done lads. WE would have absolutely no problem in recommending them to future customers. How nice it is to see free electricity on my App! Thanks Sue and Simon
