Cambridge Solar Ltd

I intend to install solar panels and as a which member identified a couple of installers in my area to approach from the trustedtrader site. Cambridge solar were showing as highly rated so on 11th april I phoned them to seek a quotation. On answering my call I was told that all the team were busy, they took my name, address, phone number and email and said someone would call me back. By 20th april I had heard nothing so phoned again, I was told they are very busy and there is a 10 days delay on quotation requests. She confirmed that my details are on their system and said someone would phone me within a few days. By this morning, 28th april, I had still not received a response so I phoned again. The young lady I spoke to was apologetic, confirmed that they have my details and a record of my calls, and said she would get someone to phone me back. I asked if it would be today and she said yes. I received no call back today. This trustedtrader is clearly not living up to the rating that is showing for customer reviews. I am sure solar installers are busy at present but another installer I contacted around the same time came back within a few days with what looks like competitive quote. I am a seriously intending to install solar panels and as a which member I am very disappointed with this service from a recommended trader. ---------UPDATE posted 10/05/20022---------- On 28/04/2022 I posted a review expressing my dissatisfaction with the lack of response to my enquiry for a solar panel installation. At the same time I sent an email to the managing director of Cambridge Solar. I am pleased to report that I had a very prompt and apologetic response from Owen Morgan, the MD, and within a few days I now have a comprehensive and informative proposition and quotation for the installation. I am now happy with the response and appreciate that solar panel installers are presently inundated with enquiries given the hike in energy costs.

My system was installed, by Cambridge Solar, a little earlier than I expected and a little less than the original quote. I did have to wait a few weeks before things began moving because the company, I was told, was inundated by calls. I was very pleased when the process began that I had waited Everyone in the team, from administration to installers and electricians, conveyed competence and professionalism during the whole installation. In the middle of the process, I had some extra work I hoped they would help me with and they did. They all were very pleasant, approachable and helpful throughout the process no matter how often I phoned, emailed or personally asked questions. Now that it is finished I have been told that I can continue to ask further questions and get support if I need it. I am really enjoying watching the system working well now, even when there isn't full sun, and electricity being produced as shown on my apps. I'm very happy that I had my panels installed.

We are very pleased with our new installation, everything is as promised and to a high standard. Particularly happy with the different technicians who worked on our house, all very helpful and courteous. Cambridge Solar have always been able to answer our questions and explain all the complexities of solar panels. Would recommend.

From start to finish this has been a first class experience. I'd been putting off getting solar for a long time and now I really wish I hadn't! The whole team at Cambridge Solar were very responsive and creative with how to get the best out of the design and provided guidance every step of the way. Any unexpected challenge that came up was quickly discussed, solutions proposed, agreed and implemented. The team were a pleasure to have on the property. I would not hesitate to recommend to anybody thinking about a solar install. Thank you! A+++

Excellent work doing what they said they would do to time & to budget. Other solar panel services providers have been very poor. It was refreshing to find someone who was professional in all aspects of the job.

Our Solar Panels were installed 6 years ago by another company. But the monitoring WiFi link was never set up. After contacting Cambridge Solar, they sprang into action. François came out and did a survey. He confirmed that everything was working correctly. We asked him to get the WiFi link sorted so that we could use the app. No problem at all. François came back 10days later with the kit. All set-up and Registered with the suppliers, and we can use the app. Hooorraaay!! Well done Cambridge Solar. Recommend them any time. CDL.

Cambridge Solar fitted my solar panels in 2004 and they are working well, and are on target to repay my investment after 9 years, as they estimated. This was far more accurate than quotes I had received at the same time from other solar companies. Recently my power reducer stopped working but after telephone discussions with Ben at Cambridge Solar, his advice fixed the problem. Excellent after sales service and support.

Cambridge Solar are a very good and reliable company. I've used them a number of times before and each and every time they are very good.

I asked several companies to advise and quote for solar panel installation. I chose Cambridge Solar because they were relatively local to my home but also because of the quality of their documentation sent with their quotation. They were not quite the cheapest but they did everything as promised and on time - and the system has worked well ever since. They supplied excellent warranty and other documentation etc afterwards. 22 months later I asked them to advise and quote for the addition of a solar battery. They were rather slow in responding and I had already instructed another company for this work by then - but they apologised and offered any further help I might need. In fact I found that I did need some information from them and emailed them on a Sunday evening; despite them not having won the work to supply the battery , by 0930 the following morning they had emailed me exactly what I needed. I was and am impressed.

I've had our solar panels in for just over 5 years now and contracted with Cambridge Solar. I remember at the time being taken through what was involved and the likely calculated electricity that would be generated year on year and the savings made. 5 years on we are happy, they have delivered in line with our expectations. Cambridge Solar are a local company and seem to have that local approach to good customer service. In the 5 years, we've had them I can only remember needing to reach out once or twice on queries and been very good to respond. The app that comes with the panels is also a great way to track the usage too.
