What Our Clients Say

  • We had solar PV arrays installed on the roofs of our house and garden building, totalling 17 panels equipped with micro-inverters and battery storage (Tesla Power wall). The service we received was excellent from start to finish. The team was extremely respectful and tidy, accommodating our busy family, including our pets, who were working from home during the installation. I highly recommend Rob and his team.

  • After previously having the Solar Orb team install my solar panel and battery backup system, I asked them to come back and install some plaster-in infrared heating mats for me. It was an absolute no-brainer going with Solar Orb to complete this work for me. Out of all the quotes I received for my solar install, Rob was the only person who actually wanted to come round to my property to scope the work and was willing to listen to my requirements and discuss the pros/cons of different options. The whole team are super friendly, and nothing is too much trouble. For both this infrared heat mat install, and my solar panel install, the team left the house tidier than they found it. One day they were running a few minutes late, so they rang ahead to let me know as much. They keep you informed every step of the way. The whole team are fantastic, and I would recommend them to anyone who needs any electrical work doing. The Solar Orb team are nice people who do a great job, and I'm looking forward to using them for future work.

  • The Solar Orb team did a fantastic job installing solar panels and a Powerwall battery at my home. Despite the challenges presented by the age and structure of the house, the team took it all in their stride, found solutions for and ultimately delivered a very high quality job. I'm delighted with the end result and highly recommend Solar Orb for anyone considering a solar energy solution.
