Kimbletech Ltd

Kimble Solar came up as an advert on social media and, given they were local, I gave them a call. Genuinely it is rare these days to find a company offering such a proficient and competent service. I cannot fault them. From the initial 'sales meeting' (which was entirely painless and not sales-ey at all) through to each individual that attended site for the install, the whole company was very professional. The amount of companies/individuals I'd recommend can be counted on one hand, but I would not hesitate to recommend Kimble.

Kimble Solar does exactly what it promises, efficiently delivers in all respects - it thoroughly deserves its 100% 5 star rating. I have had the solar panels for 3 months now and they are delivering all I had hoped. From the initial meeting with one of the sales consultants, through contact with office staff, scaffolders, installers, and follow up with field engineer recently to check all is going well and answer any questions I might have, everyone has been knowledgable, helpful, completely considerate of what I wanted the solar panels to provide with no 'hard sale' or impenetrable jargon to hide truths, just clear explanations and preparedness to answer all questions. Everything was done to the agreed schedule, scaffolders arriving as agreed ahead of the installation date and the 8 panels, inverter, battery, fuse box and related cabling (all external) were installed efficiently, carefully and neatly the following day. Right from making the initial appointment for a sales consultant to visit, reading the reviews, seeing their clear information brochure, I felt confident that Kimble Solar had the expertise and desire for customer care at their core. I am confident I can approach them at any time in the future if I have concerns and am pleased to have their 10 year maintenance plan included for additional support should it be needed. Thank you Kimble Solar - a great job!

I approached Kimble Solar in mid-2023 with an unusual requirement for in-roof PV panels that involved replacing part of our existing roof with new tiles, felt and battens. I also wanted a large battery that would still provide power in the event of a power cut and would integrate with our recently installed heat pump. Because of the amount of roofing work required, Kimble recommended and worked with specialist roofer HSOC roofing. The installation took place in January 2024 in bitterly cold conditions. The installers always arrived on time, were polite and friendly, kept me informed and carried out the work to the highest standards. The panels look great and the installation using the latest technology is very neat. Not only are we generating substantial solar power, but thanks to the battery we have also been able to move to a very competitive tariff with Octopus Energy; the battery automatically provides energy at peak times (4pm to 7pm) when the grid electricity price is high, and charges when solar power is being generated and from the grid if needed when the grid electricity price is low. We are selling our surplus power back to the grid and after seven months of operation we appear to have made even greater savings than predicted. We are very pleased with our system and can strongly recommend Kimble Solar.

Outstanding service. Kimble solar were recommend to me , and in February 2024 I contacted the company. I received outstanding service from first contact through to installation and after care. No stress at any point. My system includes a battery and the export credit amounts suggested on the 24 Feb 2024 proposal are being achieved in real life. Installation team were fantastic, arriving early every day and working until 6pm. 3 day install for a large 8.8kw panel system and 10 kWh battery.As an example of the install, a laser level was used to run the cables in my garage !!! Since the install in March 2024 we have had no issues, with the system operating exactly as per the proposal.I have already recommended Kimble Solar to colleagues and friends. Easy 5 stars. Sean F

We decided to explore solar energy in the New Year, and contacted a couple of providers, locally recommended. One gave us a quote over the phone, based on a google map survey of the orientation of our house. Kimble Solar came to our house to carry out a full survey, including drone, then sat down with us to give us a full explanantion of the system, options for optimisation, and managing our expectations on timescale etc. Our surveyor (actually Chris, the MD) gave us a good understanding of our options, and patiently costed out various permutations. He also gave us a clear expectation on process and timescales. Our system was installed in mid-February, and so far has generated more energy than we were led to expect, despite the changeabe weather. We did have a problem with the telemetry from the battery, and this was immediately remediated, as part of their after-sales service. The whole team - from admin through accounts through installation through after care - have displayed a total customer focus, led by Chris himself.

From the very first contact with the office, initial home visit, organisation of installation, the installation and after care. The all team have been brilliant, and we have been very pleased with choice and move to solar. Would definitely recommend.

I had been looking into solar energy for many months and was certainly underwhelmed by the numerous advertised services however on initial contact with Kimbletech I was pleasantly surprised. Finally a company that responded quickly and professionally to my initial enquiry. An appointment made with a representative who was on time and thorough with his presentation. There was no pressure selling and he listened to what I wanted and answered all my questions . On acceptance of the price for the job things moved speedily and efficiently and I was happy when the date for installation was fixed. The tradesmen that came were on time and pleasant.They immediately started work and I must say that I was very impressed with their standard of work and the whole job was completed to a very high standard. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kimbletech to anyone . It can be a bit daunting when you are spending a lot of money on something that you really don't know how it works but they managed to install a system that suits my needs in a neat ,professional and high standard way from inception to completion. Thankyou very much. Dave

I’ve had solar panels on the front of the house for 10 years and in that time, they have paid for themselves. However, technology has moved on and I found that I could now generate twice the power from a given number of solar panels. Battery technology has also become more efficient. I approached Kimble Solar with a requirement to replace my existing ten panels on the front of the house and add an additional ten on the rear. At the same time, I wanted to keep my FIT payments, that I had on the original installation going, and add sufficient battery capacity to power the house, including the air sourced heat pump for 24 hours. Kimple came up with a solution that met these requirements, necessitating two inverters running separate parts of the solar panels. From initial planning, the drone survey was useful in checking that the solar panels would clear some roof vents, through build and commissioning the staff at Kimble were great dealing with a couple of issues that arose, somewhat outside their control, in a very professional manner. The work on the roof, including the scaffolding, was the most professional I have had to-date. In guys doing the internal electrical work, particularly Ash, impressed with their attention to detail. My next-door neighbour commenting that he wished they had done his installation. Overall, very happy with Kimble from start to finish of the project. Highly recommended.

Kimbletech is a great company. They added to an array of pvs on my house, installed a home battery and completed all the work in the time scale they advised. They were at all times professional, helpful and courteous. I am delighted with the service, the installation and the willingness to go the extra mile to ensure the wiring and installation was unobtrusive and met my expectations. I can highly recommend all the team and this great company. The pre contract and post contract service is also exceptional.

We were keen to extend our existing solar installation to incorporate battery storage to make the best use of the power we were generating. Kimble was suggested by a neighbour and our experience was wholly positive as a result. After a detailed survey they came up with a proposal that was tailored to our situation, including the option to save VAT by installing two extra solar panels with micro inverters. Kimble were helpful and understanding when we had to delay because of planning permission issues. But installation then proceeded smoothly and quickly with the whole process being completed in a day or so. The installation team were friendly and professional, adapting the design around an awkward space on our garage roof. After sales support has also been very informative and helpful. We would recommend Kimble highly for solar installations.
