Excellent Products and Service from a great team
We had our solar panel and battery installed by Ceiba Renewables last week. From initial phone consultation to final commissioning of the system, we had received excellent service. Romina, Farisa & Gemma kept us up to date about the process, admin and installation date, Duncan was very knowledgeable and provided us with plenty of information. Simon and his team were very professionals and were extremely efficient in getting the whole system installed. We will recommend Ceiba Renewables to our friends and family.

Solar PV and Battery Storage Installation
Excellent customer service from the team a Ceiba Renewables from start to finish. Throughout the entire process from the presales stage, collaborating and iterating on the requirements/design/quoting stage, to getting the pre and post commissioning process the team at Ceiba Renewables have been amazing and a joy to work with. They managed my expectations regularly with updates on the supply chain issues and high demand with realistic and accurate forecasts. Once the elements of the system arrived on schedule, the installation itself over the course of 3 days went really well. The team were amazing very knowledgeable and engaging. A standout part of the installation is they involved me on every small detail from the positioning of the components on the day applying rational to our decisions (in terms of any future expandability) and they were engaging with my questions as I built up my knowledge about the installation. Not every company or professional does this, but I am glad they did. Another important factor was as a team between the roofers and the electricians they worked well as a unit and delivered very neat work. Everything was completed ahead of schedule. Ceiba Renewables pride themselves on using quality products and the deliver a quality service and I can honestly say the team have lived up to their mission statement thus I have no hesitation to give them future business and would recommendation them to anyone looking for a quality installation.

Ceiba Renewables Solar System install
Ceiba fitted a large system of 40 solar panels and a Tesla PowerWall for our bungalow in rural Argyll. Their customer service was excellent and they kept us informed about every stage of the process. The installation was also very smooth with everyone involved knowing what they were doing. Their electrician was particularly knowledgable and helpful. When there was one minor problem with monitoring the system the engineer was there at 8am the next morning to fix it. We have a lot of problems getting people in to do work for us as we are literally in the back of beyond but Ceiba were a notable exception to this. I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone thinking about having solar work done.

ONE VERY IMPRESSED CLIENT
What a joy it has been to work with Ceiba. My project started in August 2022 when the cost and time scale was outlined. 11 panels and a Tesla battery. the final installation included a Zappi, Eddi and I opted for the panels to be integrated into the roof. all costs quoted were firm and there was no change to the costs. Although the installation wasn't scheduled until February 2023 we had to run all the internal wires in December 2022 prior to roof insulation. There was absolutely no issue with Ceiba working to our programme and on 8th December a 2 man team arrived on site. my first impression of the 2 engineers was very good. friendly, efficient, professional and thorough. Nothing was a problem. In February the roofers and engineers started and over a period of 3 days the panels were installed and connected up. All 4 men working well together. It was a joy to have them around the house. In April the system was commissioned over 2 days. This date was determined by me as I had to wait for the house internet installation. The 2 installation engineers were professional and once again nice to have around the house. I would like to single out Chris, who led the roof team and on the installation and commissioning team Casper, Andy, Simon and Mark. All very professional, thorough and efficient men. It was a pleasure to have them on site. finally, I have not forgotten about the office. a big thanks to Romina, Farisa and Gemma, who managed the project excellently.

Simply the best!
Ceiba Renewables worked with us to design the PV system for our new build house in the highlands. They provided a more comprehensive service than any other company we contacted about the project, from estimating its size, through design and specification to installation. This included implementation of new technology such as the Tesla Powerball. They tackled a whole series of issues and no problem seemed too difficult. We used many contractors on our new build but in terms of knowledge, professionalism and service Ceiba Renewables were in a class of their own.

Inverter replacement under warranty.
My solar SMA inverter sadly failed after 7 years. I contacted Duncan and Simon from Ceiba who promptly attended and diagnosed that the unit had failed internally. Rather than just read obvious fault codes on the unit, they dug deeper carrying out a diagnosis of the inverter itself and further tests on power isolators and outputs from the panels themselves. Consequently an issue regarding an earth fault from the panels was identified and was eventually traced to a faulty cracked panel connector. A further faulty DC isolator (which had been incorrectly installed by the original contractor) was also identified and replaced. All aspects of the faults with the system were clearly explained along with required works and costings. Happily Ceiba conducted all relevant communications with SMA directly whilst on site and consequently were able to arrange a replacement inverter under warranty. The company provided good communication by E mail and telephone to arrange suitable work dates which on one occasion had to be altered due to a work commitment. On final installation of the replacement inverter by Simon, he kindly advised me of a Blue tooth feature on the unit which now enabled remote monitoring of the system, he even arranged for the software to be installed on our home computer!

Excellent
If you're thinking of installing solar pv and/or a Powerwall you cannot do better than this highly professional company. Many thanks to Duncan, Romina and Farisa in the office for always providing friendly, accessible support and advice, to Chris and Peter from Eco Solutions who worked quickly and efficiently to install 10 stunningly beautiful Sunpower Solar pv Panels on my front porch roof, and most of all to Simon and Chris who worked so hard to install the Powerwall and link all the components up so they co-ordinate perfectly to provide the most efficient - and easy to use - system for generating solar-powered energy here. All components are top notch and have been carefully selected and thoughtfully designed to work together in an integrated intelligent package, all of which is explained and demonstrated clearly (and with great patience!) to a technophobe like me. The challenging logistics of installing on a small Scottish island in an old chaotically-wired farmhouse did not deter them: they remained cheerful, positive and consummately professional throughout, leaving me with a cleaner, tidier and more logically- and safely-wired house than i had before. The system is simple to use and saving me money already. Many, many thanks to the whole team, I cant recommend you all highly enough.

Excellent Job Done
I found Ceiba Renewals an excellent company to deal with from start to finish. My first approach was very informative, they took the time to fully explain the advantages of the system. As I was building a new house, my completion timescale was somewhat erratic given the pressures of both Brexit and Covid on building times. At all stages, they accommodated my changing schedule. All the staff I dealt with provided excellent, helpful service. Overall I found then a very professional company both in efficiency and customer care and would have no hesitation in recommending them to any prospective customer.

Great installation.
Excellent work from these guys. Worked late into the evening to get the work completed on time. They were so good at explaining the setup, worked well and were very helpful to other tradesmen on site. Very very neat installation. They kept disruption to a minimum and explained the process at each stage. Very knowledgeable and clearly love doing a great job and making the customer happy.

Solar panel installation
Ceiba provided an effective and comprehensive service. Excellent communication throughout the process, keeping us informed. The office staff assisted in dealing with an issue with our energy supplier. The electrician also gave us important on-site advice about the installation of an electric vehicle charger which has saved us a great deal of problems. He also liaised with the EV charger installer. A couple of minor issues with clearing up. Insulation in the loft was not properly laid back. I had to supply replacement tiles for those broken in the course of installation. Luckily I had these, but the broken tiles were not disposed of, but left lying in a border. Apart from those very minor points, this was an excellent service. The team had to work against the weather coming in, and completed ahead of schedule.

Solar system install
From initial inquiry to final install the entire team at Ceiba have just been fantastic to work with. Initial design hit problems due to grid connect limits so Duncan quickly came up with a 2 phase approach to let us move forward. The guys doing the install were great, friendly professional and courteous (even the cat liked them). Really neat work and no mess left at all, got the panels, powerwall and EDDI installed in just 2 days, and provided a very thorough run through of how it all worked and the associated apps. Really couldn't ask for better, hopefully will be able to get them back soon for phase 2.

Excellent Service
I have been really impressed by the level of service from Ceiba Renewables. The installation of a Tesla Battery, is probably the most professional piece of work that I have had done. The installation engineers could not have been more helpful, and provided a full explanation of how the system operates. I have no hesitation in recommending Ceiba Rnewables.

Excellent Service - Ground Based Solar Array with Tesla Powerwall
Duncan and the Ceiba Renewable team were professional from the outset. Duncan provided clear information for the sizing rationale and planning permissions and overall process. His support team did a great job of keeping us informed of delivery dates and introduced us to Alastair who completed the groundworks (we have a ground-mounted array) as we couldn't find a suitable local supplier. Duncan quickly responded to identifying alternative panels when it became clear the supply of the original panels could be problematic. Simon and the electrical installation team were very professional and very tidy, checking with us any queries beforehand. We were very confident to leave them to it when we had a family crisis that fell over our installation period, and we were not able to be at the house for most of the time. We are very pleased with our ground array and Tesla Powerwall.

Another great installation
This is the second installation that Ceiba has undertaken for us. They added a second Tesla Powerwall to our Solar/battery setup. We were impressed with the first installation and more than happy with the service this time. Communication and after sales service is excellent and the both installations went ahead as planned on the dates promised. Highly recommended.

Photo Voltanic Inverter Repair
I contacted Ceiba to investigate an error message that I was receiving on my PV inverter. They were easily and quickly able to diagnose that the error message meant the inverter needed replaced. They liaised with the manufacturer and established that it was still under warranty (2 weeks left on a 66 month warranty - lucky white heather!). At all times Ceiba kept me abreast of progress on the requisition of the new inverter and also on a time to install. The installation itself was very professional and the installer was very friendly, professional and fully explained what he was doing and why. I recommend Ceiba to resolve your PV faults. Gordon, Bearsden.

Professional & Quality System design, advice and installation.
Duncan and team installed a 5.6kW solar system, Tesla PW2 and Eddi water heater control module. Installation was over 3 days (just an hour required on Day 3), everything tidied at the end of each day and system explained by Duncan at the end. Duncan is very patient and passionate about his work and it shows. Excellent from first point of contact onwards. Will certainly be using Duncan again if I extend my solar PV system and heartily recommenced his services. Not the cheapest out there but you get what you pay for and the Ceiba teams re worth every penny.

Solar & Powerwall install
We used Ceiba Renewables to install 6kW of Solar panels and a Tesla Powerwall 2 battery. From initial discussions with Duncan through to the installation with Simon and Chris, the whole experience has been first class. This has been a large investment and having looked at several options from other companies we opted to go with Ceiba due to the quality of products they use and the reviews from other customers. The job was booked in and everything ran like clockwork, the guys turned up promptly, their friendliness and attention to detail was second to none. Simon and Chris were very thorough, you could tell they took real pride in making the installation not only work but make sure the cables and install was as tidy as possible. They were also excellent at explaining how the system worked and answered any questions I had about the setup. The first moment we went ‘off-grid’ was an amazing feeling, seeing the technology work is superb. I cannot rate Ceiba Renewables highly enough, real pleasure to deal with, and would not hesitate to use again.

First class service
We are glad we chose Ceiba to install our Tesla Powerwall. Everything was explained to us at each stage of the process. The installation was trouble free and Chris and Simon were a pleasure to deal with. They were also very clean tidy, I’d be happy to recommend Ceiba.

Quick work, professional approach and tidy too
Simon and Chris installed my Powerwall between 28 and 29 October, arriving when they said they would and completing the work when they promised. Overall a professional approach to the work, which required some creative thinking particularly as I wanted the equipment sited high on a wall. Nothing was too much trouble. Technically there was a lot to consider and any challenges presented were met with a clearly thought out plan of action, then resolved. The equipment and operation of it was carefully explained and any questions answered. As a bonus the location was left clean and tidy! I would recommend CEIBA for this type of work without hesitation.

Powerwall 2 and Zappi installation
We had excellent support from Duncan and Romina as the project developed and from Simon and Chris who did the installation. The whole process was carried out in a very efficient and timely way. As well as being impressed by the quality of work, we also received excellent advice on how best to use the system from very knowledgeable and engaged practitioners.

Solar PV installation in Montrose
I want to ensure that the Ceiba Renewables team are appropriately recognised for their excellent service delivery. From Duncan’s initial visit, Farisa and Romina’s pre-install support through to the expert installation, our experience was a credit to them all. Chris and Peter did a fantastic job in installing the 15 panels on our roof in less than ideal weather conditions (cold and windy), with the end product looking great - the upper and lower rows are exactly aligned. Then Chris Black and Simon Young completed the installation with the internal electrical hook-up and commissioning. I cant fault the work they did, it was high quality, tidy and of a very high standard. In fact, Simon highlighted and corrected some poor quality work done by the electrician who installed our car charger, which we were indebted to him for as it could have created issues for us later on. First thing the morning after installation, Chris sent through the link to the online dashboard and we now have full visibility of our solar generation. Every member of the team was approachable, friendly, helpful, polite and clearly knew their subject well. All-in-all, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ceiba Renewables to anyone considering a solar PV installation. You can be assured of excellent end-to-end service from them. So much so that we have already told them they’ll be installing our storage battery system next year.

Excellent Work
We had a Tesla Powerwall and Solar Panels fitted by Ceiba Renewables. They did all the prep work with SSE etc and then booked in for 2 days to complete the installation. Simon and Chris were excellent - great job and very tidy (hoovered up after themselves) so we are very pleased with the job. Got a comprehensive explanation on how everything worked from Simon. The guys Chris & Peter who did the solar panels installation were very good as well. Would highly recommend Ceiba Renewables for your installation.
