SolarGain Ltd

While researching Solar panels a friend recommended Solar Gain UK, so I thought one more quote can do no harm.. As it turned out they were the most professional and thorough of any of the companies I talked to. While not the cheapest they gave a much greater feeling of comfort so they got the business. The install went exactly as described and took the two days allocated. However the battery supplied developed a problem shortly after install. After some investigation Solar Gain decided a replacement was required. This arrived promptly and the problems disappeared overnight. The system designed charges from sunrise through to sunset and is saving us a lot of money even on dull winter days. Cannot recommend more highly More...

Last year I made plans to scaffold, re-roof, repaint and install a solar system on my home. Dealing with the average solar company was frustrating as the typical sales staff had limited technical knowledge and were intent on pushing off-the-shelf packages. It was a great relief to find SolarGain who were keen to design and advise on an installation specifically for my situation. When it came to the installation, liaising with SolarGain was simple and straightforward and the coordination between them and the other contractors was seamless. The work went ahead in March of this year and the quality of the work carried out by SolarGain was top class. The company closely supervised their work and established a great working relationship with the other contractors on site. I have 24 panels divided between the east and west elevations of my house, together with a 5 kW inverter and two 9.5 kWh batteries. Since completion in March, the performance has been faultless and has exceeded my expectations. I have kept in touch with Phil, Vanessa, and other members of staff at SolarGain and I am confident that should I need it, after sales service and maintenance are readily available. More...

Once I'd decided to install solar panels, I set out to get 3 quotes. 2 were from national companies, who quoted everything from photos of my property, and promised the earth in terms of what I could expect. Phil was different. He came to the property and took time to find out what I wanted and what would work. He patiently explained all that was involved, and gave a much more realistic (to my mind) expectation of what the system could generate. So, 16 panels, a 5kW invertor, a 5kW battery and a 7kW EV charging point were duly installed in a surprisingly quick and efficient manner. The system works well and already, almost 1 month later, and even in Autumn going in to Winter, I'm saving money. I have no hesitation in recommending Solar Gain to anybody. More...

We had had quotes from a number of providers all of which were just not feasible as they were for a flat roof for which we (not the providers) knew we’d need planning permission. Phil was different - he came out to our property and designed a bespoke system the likes of which I could never have imagined. We have solar panels and an array of batteries. All expertly installed. So now 15 months on I can report that not only is the system operating seamlessly but the savings are out of this world. The predicted solar generation was spot on and the capacity of the batteries just right. I have paid no more than 7p kWh for all this time. I know that Phil and company are always there in the background for an upgrade/add on/support which I’m seriously tempted with as such a successful attentive company is set for the duration. That’s very comforting in the tough solar works out there. More...

I had 16 solar panels, inverter, 5.12Kw battery and Solar iBoost fitted by Solar Gain in October. Having initially sought a quote from Octopus (as my current energy supplier) I elected to go with Solar Gain as they were a local family business with good reviews and unlike many companies promoting solar online, provided a personal rather than an online service, were not at all pushy, responded and installed within a very short time frame. Their fixed quote was also competitive and they alerted me, post quotation, to an offer that GivEnergy were running which meant that with the saving this provided I was able to add the Solar iBoost for the same price as my original quote. From the initial visit from Phil to discuss needs and carry out an initial survey, the detailed survey by Colin, the prompt handling of all the admin and documentation by Vanessa I was very impressed by the service they provided. Our installation took place earlier than originally planned and despite a small inconvenience that related to the scaffolding company, the installation was completed in a day. The team were worked really hard, on what was a miserable day weatherwise. The Battery and Inverter was an external set up and the work was done to a very hight standard and the hardware looks really good. Colin then fitted the iBoost and commissioned the whole set up the following day; and I was up and running. The system has been running smoothly ever since. Not had the best performance the last week or so but that is down to the miserable weather we have had so is not Solar Gain's fault! I would very happily recommend Solar Gain to anyone considering fitting solar. More...

We had three quotes for the solar panel installation. Phil’s was the most comprehensive and detailed, and his design seemed the most appropriate for our house. He made a site visit, unlike some companies who quote based on a satellite image, and the level of detail in the calculation of the expected performance of the system was most impressive. The work was carried out to a high standard and we are still very pleased with it. More...

We’ve had a Solargain installation for a year now. When initially installed (very efficiently) we knew that there was some new technology being tried with the wireless connection from the inverter to the clamp. It didn’t quite work as hoped so the original Growatt inverter and battery were swapped out for Givenergy. We were very impressed with the service - no quibble. Since then there have been a couple of minor issues which Phil has sorted out. The aftersales service has been excellent and Vanessa responds quickly to queries. Highly recommended. More...

I had a number of aims from the system Solar-gain installed in February 2024: 1)To be using 100% off peak or solar for at least 3/4 of the year by using an intelligent tariff. 2) For the Car charger, 9.7kWh battery inverter and solar panels to be integrated into one system and app. 3) For the system to take over during our frequent grid power outages. I'm pleased to say that the system has vastly exceeded my expectations. Our electricity account has been in credit since April despite 5000 miles on the EV and we have used hardly any peak rate power, reducing our outgoings and saving several tonnes of CO2. More...

Consultation, quotation and the approach to problem solving was smooth and not pressured. Installation happened when agreed, and within the timescales agreed - that's an area that often slips. There were delays on the removal of scaffolding, but that sat with a third party contractor and Solar Gain did their best to support 'encouraging' that contractor to respond faster. The more important point for me was 'what happened when something broke', because its life and things do go wrong. In our case a battery component failed after a while. I think that's where Solar Gain really acquitted themselves well, the response was swift, effective and supportive. The part was tested, found to be faulty and the supplier liaised with to secure a new part, which was also fitted without fuss. I've had good initial service before, then pain later on when issues occur - that was not the case with Solar Gain, so I would recommend them on quote, and fit, but even more so on customer aftercare More...

Solar-Gain installed my solar system in April 2024. I was very impressed with the face-to-face consultations & preparation & planning that went into the quotation & subsequent specification. The necessary complex paperwork that accompanied each stage was well presented & organised so that all I had to do was sign, all done on-line. The system works extremely well & has saved me several hundred pounds already & resulted in vastly lowered monthly charges. The customer service is second to none & every query I have had, has been resolved very quickly. This has given me confidence in the integrity of the system & its customer service & quality control. I also highly recommend the company for the quality of the solar system components chosen to maximise my domestic solar gain! More...
