Spectra Solar Ltd

Shopped around for solar panel and battery installation. Decided on Spectra due to being a Which approved trader and using there own installation team. The price was not far off the cheapest as well. Also no pressure selling. Roofing lads Brett and Brook arrived just after 8am and the electrician Liam about 9 who went through everything with me. The whole team were a credit to the company. Everything was left clean and tidy after installation and a full explanation of how the system app worked. Post and pre install comms from Kurt was and is still excellent. No issues to report. All documents sent through straight after payment. Really pleased with whole process. 14 panels Hanchu battery and invertor. All neat and tidy.

We read reviews of quite a few companies before settling on Spectra. Many of them were 5 star and I've no reason to think they wouldn't have also been excellent so choosing was hard, but in the end we went with the one our neighbour had used. Have to say we can't fault them - the end to end process was handled really well. Communication has been excellent and the installation and follow up support has been everything we could have asked for. So I'd have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone struggling to choose. The price was also very competitive btw. Thanks guys

If you’re reading this because you’re on the fence choosing a solar installer, then stop searching; these are the guys to use! I’m a bit of a geek about this stuff. So I did plenty of shopping around, and this is what I found: -- Some installers talked a good talk, but were also very expensive and pushy. -- Some were competitively priced, but I wouldn’t trust them with my property. -- Spectra came to me as a recommendation, which I’m glad I listened to! Spectra provided decent kit, at a competitive price. But perhaps the most important to me, was that they were 10/10 knowledgeable, trustworthy and professional... With an investment like this, you won’t find a better service! I got a 7kW inverter, 10kW battery, 18 panels and a manual-changeover switch… It’s been performing very well! Before installation: -- Spectra did a great job of helping me choose the best kit to suit my property and budget. -- They were very knowledgeable and patient in answering all of my questions / concerns. During installation: -- The roofers did a great, tidy job of the panel installation and cabling. -- The electricians did a great job of the inverter, battery & changeover installation, keeping it all neat and tidy. After installation: -- They continued to help me with the paperwork and make sure the app / monitoring is working smoothly. Thank you!

To save you reading the rest - I'll sum it up in one word - Impressive! From inital contact there's no hard sell, no pressure, but plenty of advice. Having contemplated solar for a few months, I'd done plenty of research. Being local to their offices, the wife and I arranged to pop in to their showroom. Again no pressure, no hard sell, but very knowledgeable, backing up I'd gleaned from my research. Mike turned up to conduct the survey as arranged, I wanted to be clear on what to expect and if there were any issues, and Mike made suggestions on how to install the equipment in the garage without damaging the pre-fab concrete. We agreed on the trench location between the house and garage to prevent damage to the new driveway - Important as the scaffolders errected their scaffold right over the area, luckily I was at home when they came to errect it and they managed to position the two legs so not to be in the way. Installation day, the lads rocked up just after 8am on a frosty January morning, Tea, Coffee & biscuits were welcomed by them, they simply just got on with it. I was sceptical they'd get it done in the day, but the roofing team were done by mid afternoon, leaving the electricians to connect and commission the system. That was all done around 5pm. The installation in the garage with Uni-Strut is tidy, they routed the DC cables through the soffit, from the loft space - I was expecting a hole through the wall. The internal consumer unit is tidy, and there's been no issues since the install. I can't wait for the sunnier weather, as despite the rain & fog recently the system's already impressed me with it's generation quite offten the base load is solely from PV.

Fantastic job installing our batteries. Completed in a day with no fuss, mess or drama. Couldn’t be happier with the team or their work - even my wife was impressed !

Planning, installation and after sales support exceptional.

We got installation July 2025. Fromt the start they approachable, friendly and professional. During the planning phase i had several questions which were answered quickly and professionally. I also made several tweaks to my installation each time the changes were done quickly anda new plan created. The installation went very smoothly. All done in one day leaving no mess. After sales was also exceptional. I had a little issue with the setup. I got a recently released gateway which seemed to cause high power draw. Spectra were right on it working with Hanchu, the manufacturer, and the issue was discovered and sorted remotely in a couple of days. Overall i cant find fault with the whole process. Even nitpicking I cant think of anything.

Quality solar installation

Comprehensive quote provided, lots of questions answered by the company. no pressure selling just providing guidance. Once agreed everything fitted as agreed, team turned up fitted system, fitters explained how to use app and checked everything was ok and I was happy with the install which is very tidy, prior to leaving. I had lots of quotes and trying to pick the right company, 4 weeks in and very happy so far. Certainly wouldn’t hesitate to recommend based on my experience.

Solar energy to our 1960s bungalow

We have had our solar and batteries for about a year now and in the last few months had an air source heat pump fitted by Spectra Solar Ltd. The communication, standard of work and expertise has been fantastic. No question was a silly one and they are very knowledgeable. They were happy to work alongside my husband (ASHP) as he is a plumber. Our energy bills are now non-existent as the export we made during 3/4 of the year paid for energy use during the winter plus we are still in credit going into 2025 season. We pay Octopus £1 a month direct debit as a token gesture. Would we do it again? Would we choose Spectra? That’s a big yes to both - without doubt

Excellent Company .,

Had additional battery capacity installed . The electrician arrived on time and completed the job . Had a minor snag with some plaster , the company came out promptly and resolved the matter . I have no hesitation in recommending Spectra . My system has worked without any issues . I find it very reassuring that if I do have any issues I can make a call and I will get prompt, friendly and helpful advice .
