What Our Customers Say
To I say my experience with this company was positive does not cover it.
Have been considering.Solar for some time but as we have a 3 storey South East facing house did not think it would be viable with fiscally or logistically..
Having spoken to a number of companies that did indeed seem to be the case, even if they would consider an installation given the height of the roof I was getting the impression I was being offered an “off the peg” package when I wanted it tailored to me. Andrew from start solar gave me that, face to face meeting to answer my many many questions, gave me confidence in dealing with this company.
Installation agreed, installed Tuesday the 13 of May 2025 (3 days ago) by an amazing team, seeing the benefits already. Highly recommended!
I had 16 Solar panels totally 7.12Kw (10 on front roof, 6 on back) installed on 30 Jul along with 2x 5Kw batteries.
I was very surprised that only 2 guys turned up as I was expecting a huge crew considering the work.
The two guys were tidy, polite & had the install finished & handed over by lunch time. Can’t fault them.
The initial consultation with Andrew was also quick & painless & he messaged the evening of the install to check I was happy with how the guys had worked & behaved while at my house.
The install was delayed due to the bank taking FOREVER to get the loan sorted but once the money had arrived in my account the install was complete within 2 weeks.
System is generating away, charging my EV, running the house & exporting a little which is impressive since it’s been cloudy & wet since the install.
Would definitely recommend start solar to friends looking Solar in Northern Ireland.
Great business and team (sales & install) to deal with. They were professional and the install was completed quickly and neatly. Already saving me a fortune on energy costs.
100% recommended.
start solar were very quick to reply with any enquiries I had and explained everything well.
The company have a good reputation and came in with a very competitive price. The systems they use come with a fantastic warranty too. It’s now been two months since I had the system installed, and I am very happy with it.
I know if I run into any issues down the line, this company will still be around.
We have had our solar panels for about 3 months now. Our experience with each person connected with start solar was positive. Everyone was friendly and very professional at all times. They have made the whole process straightforward and we are enjoying the benefits of the panels. Highly recommended.
start solar install team arrived, fitters and electricians, very knowledgeable and competent. Clean and tidy. Guys explained in detail how my system worked and how to get the best efficiency from it. Well pleased.
