Buying and installing a solar panel system is a confusing world, Ben and his team were excellent. They discussed lots of options to find what was best for me, they provided a very competitive price and installation was a dream. Great after sale contact as well, goes without saying I highly recommend Ben and his crew.

3rd Time Using Eternal Energy

This is the third time I've used EE. They installed solar thermal on my last house and this house. They have just completed the installation of eight PV panels on my roof. Came to survey and provide quote. Explained the pros and cons of the different technologies. Actaully convinced me batteries were not suitable for me. They are not "salesman" like some companies and are just interested in providing the right product. I had some issues with the roof and needed to pause the PV works while I got this sorted - they were fine and waited a week or so while it was resolved. Installation was good, engineers were all very freintly/polite and they left my home tidy when finished. They showed me how to use the app and monitor the system - although it really doesn't require much monitoring. If I ever need anything else doing, I will definitly use Ben and his team. Great job. P.S. Recommended them to a neighbour previously and that neighbour now has both solar thermal and PV.

Eternal Energy were the third company we contacted about having solar panels installed and were the only company that really thought of the best options for us. We had the panels installed on our garage rather than the house roof. Due to shading from the nrighbour's loft extension and the shape of our roof, we would not have got the optimum power from the panels if they had been placed there. We found the whole team to be honest, reliable and efficient and would recommend to others.

Eternal Energy Systems initially installed a solar hot water system some 10 years ago, and have now added a new 7 kWp PV solar panel array with inverter and battery. We chose EES to carry out the work as they have always been good at servicing and dealing with any problems with the hot water system. Emailed questions about both the old and new systems have been answered very promptly - in one case after midnight. The team of four who carried out the latest work arrived punctually and completed the installation on schedule. We are confident that we will continue to be supported in the future if any issues or questions arise.

Solar Panel and Battery system installation

Having checked in with several companies offering Solar panel solutions, we decided on Eternal Energy Systems as they came across as the most responsive and professional. They surveyed and provided a very clear and concise estimate for the system we were looking for. Being new to solar panels they explained clearly what the options were and the pricing associated for panels and the batteries. The install was completed on time and they did a good job, provided all the paperwork, completed the forms to register our system to feedback to our energy provider, and explained how to use the system to maximise our benefit. The App associated allows you to see everything regarding generation, how much electricity is being imported/exported and what the charge rates are at that point in time. This is great as you can maximise the efficiency and turn on appliances (washing machine, dishwasher, etc) at the most economic time. We have been generating surplus energy through the summer and will now look with interest to see how we do in the winter months. I would recommend this company to anyone wanting a solar panel installation.

Quality Install & Ongoing Support

I have left this a few years since install because I wanted to see how good ongoing support is. I can confirm that the support has been good. I have had cause to call for support a couple of times and it has been done without query. I have actually had two systems installed by this company and on both occasions, the instal has been done on time, on quote and with the quality I need. I like that they called in a specialist in an area they weren’t strong rather than use me as a learning experience with trial and error (which happened with a previous solar installer).

A Great Solar Experience

As complete novices in the domestic Solar installation business, my wife and I decided to search for a Which? Trusted Trader locally to tell us about systems and to look at our property and then to give us a verbal report on the possibilities open to us. That first visit was very informative and a good dialogue followed. These people struck us from the outset as honest and trustworthy. They gave us a ball park figure and agreed to follow up with a firm quotation. The quotation was clear (although we did ask a number of follow-up questions which were answered promptly) and a commitment was made to a date in about six weeks time. The organisation of scaffolding was made by Eternal Energy and that was erected on Saturday morning. Eternal appeared as agreed on a Monday morning, delivered all the items at that first visit and began work straight away. The completion estimate was given for Thursday and by early that afternoon we were generating our own electricity! We are now getting organised with a company to buy the surplus power from us! The original quotation is what we have been charged and the attitude with everyone has been helpful, friendly and open throughout the whole exercise. We both feel that the service given by Eternal Energy Ltd has been second to none throughout and we have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for the right solar solution.

Great install, terrible customer service.

The installation was faultless but when things have gone wrong they are too busy with new installations to help you. They may pop by when passing through 3 months after you report an issue and have the cheek to charge for a booked appointment! When challenged, the cause is blamed on a poorly managed government scheme rather than actually caring about customers. With the greatest respect, they’ve been paid for a system which is not working and I’ve been patient twice now for more than 3 months of a non functioning system so I’m making sure others are aware of their shocking follow ups on existing customers!

Eternal energy systems were one of many providers I spoke with regarding the installation of a thermal solar panel. They know their stuff, we're easy to talk to and efficient. They knew exactly what I would need to get a green home to grant, and consequently, I got one quickly before the government withdrew them. All the staff I dealt with over the two days of installation were pleasant and nice to have around and respectful of my house. It’s early days with the solar panel, but having watched the care with which they installed I have every confidence it will work well and would recommend using them.

I'm really surprised by the reviews here, they almost look fake as its the complete opposite experience I've had. These are the facts to keep it concise. SGN Gas Newtork (my local gas network) condemned their work as it was an IMEDIATE DANGER. SGN issued a Riddor report on the work they carried out. SGN turned the gas off immediately and issued an investigation. As per the Gas Safe (National Authorising) incident report the building was declared AT RISK on multiple levels. Worst of all products of combustion entering back in to the property. In addition, broke the hot water cylinder, then offered to replace it for free if we lied and said we hadn't previously had solar. Broke the immersion heater as well. Leaks in the solar connection in the loft causing solar fluid into drip in to the bathroom below. Holes in walls of adjacent rooms to which they have been working in. Had to fill and redecorate over the holes. Removing a radiator, broke the valve causing a leak in to the living room below, water coming though the ceiling. No spare parts with them leaving us without an upstairs heating circuit. We had reported all the issues and none of them were resolved or the wrong resolution was suggestion as pointed out by the investigation report. Eventually we had to employ a new company to fix all their mistakes. Arrives at 9, leaves at 3. hour lunch break, lucky to get half a days work out of them. I think this is a fair review of their work based on facts and not my own opinion.
