Indigo were not our installers but we recently had them out to fix an issue with the batteries not charging. They turned up on time, completed the work quickly and explained exactly what the issues were and how they had been fixed. We’ll definitely call again if we have any further issues. More...

Their service was extremely professional, they communicated well and answered all of my questions. I was completely satisfied with the work they did. It was evident that they were highly skilled and knowledgeable in their field, and their excellent customer service was efficient and responsive. I now look forward to my energy bills decreasing and going green to be kinder to our planet. Thank you, Indigo Energy! More...

We had a fantastic experience from the team from start to finish. Initial contact was quick, the quote was informative, personalised, well put together and competitively priced with high quality equipment. Excellent communication and advice was given as the spec was tweaked to match our requirements. Never felt rushed or under pressure. The installation was efficient and professional. We also received great aftercare getting the necessary documentation and everything running properly. We have no hesitation in recommending Linda, Mark and Daryl at Indigo. More...

I had problems with solar panels not connecting to my Enphase terminal. The panels had been installed many years ago by another company. Mark came out from Indigo, diagnosed the problem and solved it quickly and efficiently. He spent a lot of time working on it and talking to the French company to get the software to work. He knew exactly what he was doing and did it extremely well. I can't recommend Indigo highly enough. More...

Our solar and battery install experience with Indigo has been excellent. Marks advice from the outset on our options was honest and balanced. The quote was clearly broken down and once we placed our order the information provided in terms of timelines and installation was good. The install went well and we are very happy with our Givenergy set up. More...

Highly recommend this business. Mark and the team did a fantastic job from start to finish, and at very competitive price. Extremely helpful in designing the system and answering our many questions via email, and happy to come out more than one occasion to tweak the design to fit as many panels on the roof as possible. The installation was quick and tidy, and they were able to fit us in for instillation within a month. We are very happy with our solar More...

Excellent Company would highly recommend, we had 16 panels installed, battery’s and a car charger. They were extremely professional throughout the job. The initial survey was very informative and didn’t feel pressured to purchase at anytime. The after care has been exceptional, breath of fresh air to have a company that don’t just ignore you once they have your money. More...

"A really great company. One I cannot fault in any way. 5 stars across the board. This seems to be too good to be true but in this case they really are worthy. Their attention to detail is fantastic. I have had quote from other companies but this is a family run company and are wanting to build a good reputation. Not overly expensive either. Prompt replies to emails , helpful on the phone and very knowledgable. Were a great help in acquiring planning consent due to a flat roof (not strictly their job). Nothing seems too much trouble. If you are looking for solar at least give this company a chance and you will see what I mean. Julian Redgrave." We at now nearly a year on from the initial install. Not a year without some small problems but they have all been addressed quickly. The main problem I had was with the batteries not charging properly. This as due to the cold as they were installed outside. Indigo came and moved them into my workshop. All now seems well and in fact the whole system seems to have generally improved. Still a 5 star company I would recommend.further down the line and I can report all is now working better than I could hope for. Thankyou Mark , Linda and Darryl More...

I would highly recommend Indigo Energy as a go to choice for solar panel and battery installations. I approached a number of companies but Indigo Energy stood out from the start. No hard sell, competitively priced and offering quality products. From the initial quote, to the site visit and subsequent installation, everything went smoothly. All questions were promptly answered, Mark and his team were fantastic throughout. Linda manages all the paperwork registration requirements and is also available at anytime to guide you through any queries including how to sell your electricity back to the grid. A truly positive experience from a super responsive company. I can't believe how much energy my solar panels are generating during these cloudy days of March - roll on the summer! More...

Inigos price was very competitive, and the solution better thought out and designed than other companies proposals. The sales process did not involve any hard sell and was conducted on a very personal basis which involved discussions with the people who would actually design and install the system.

Absolute First Class Service from start to finish.

Indigo are a local company that clearly set themselves very high standards.

Solar Panel Installation
Whole process was simple and straightforward. From first contact to fully working solar panels took about two weeks.
Very friendly, helpful and best price we could find.
Highly recommended.
Domestic Solar Panel Installation
Most homes in the UK can benefit from the addition of solar panels.
The electricity you generate will be used in your home. This means that you could save thousands of pounds over the lifetime of your solar pv system on expensive electricity bills.
As we are an MCS accredited company, once your system is installed you can apply for a Smart Export guarantee (SEG) to be paid for the energy you export.
The process is very simple, and we will happily walk you through every step of the way.
Commercial Solar Panel Installation
Many companies across the UK are looking to insulate themselves against the dramatic rise in energy prices. Installation of solar panels across their roof spaces or on spare land will reduce the cost of their electricity, allow a greater degree of autonomy over their energy production and can provide a huge cost saving.
In addition to the economic benefits, many companies are keen to reduce their carbon footprint and some are even aiming for carbon net zero.
We have extensive experience of installing solar pv systems on factories, offices, shops, farmland, caravan parks and across many other commercial sectors.
As each project has different requirements and requires a tailored approach, an experienced surveyor will visit you on site and will provide a detailed bespoke report.
Please get in touch to see how the installation of solar pv can benefit your business.
Battery installation
Batteries can be a valuable addition to a solar pv system. As we build a personalised energy profile for our customers, we can evaluate your needs and calculate the cost benefits of including a battery with your pv. We only use industry leading brands to ensure our customers get the best returns on their investment.
Maintenance and Inverter Replacement
If you have an existing PV system that has developed a fault we have experienced engineers on hand to come out and assess the issue.
We can test and inspect your pv system to diagnose the problem, and then advise on the best course of action.
Panel Clean and Bird Proofing
We offer professional cleaning to keep your panels working at their best.
We also install bird proofing as birds, particularly pigeons, can be an issue if they begin to nest underneath panels. They can cause damage to the panels themselves and also the wiring underneath.
We can fit bird proof mesh to existing systems to protect them from these unwanted intruders.
