Had my solar system from Sklar Solar for just over a week now and have to say it’s an excellent purchase that’s going well beyond what the team suggested it might provide. It’s been an excellent experience from start to finish. From working with Lyster and making the poor guy give me about ten quotes to match and test out different configurations to the team getting things booked in quickly and efficiently. On the day of installation things continued along that trend with James and Adam the team that installed the solution doing an amazing job considering it randomly rained and hailed on them they still got everything in and a done and to a very neat, professional standard leaving the place looking great. Though I swear James is part mountain goat considering how he climbs over the roof. Since the install I’ve used zero grid electricity with the panels and battery delivering everything promised and more, all in all an excellent investment that has made a definite difference to my energy usage and bills, can’t recommend this company enough.

From the very beginning, I was particularly pleased with the no-pressure sales approach. Skylar Solar provided clear and comprehensive information, letting their advanced technology speak for itself. The installation process was equally outstanding. The team arrived on time, worked efficiently, and were extremely professional throughout. What really stood out was how neat and tidy they left everything – it was as if they were never there, except now I have a high-quality solar system in place! Overall, my experience with Skylar Solar was exceptional. The combination of their honest sales approach and meticulous installation made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I’m delighted with my decision to go solar with them and would highly recommend Skylar Solar to anyone considering making the switch.

I initially contacted Skylar based on the positive Which reviews. From initial contact I found the team so informative and passionate about their products. Andy Martin was my main point of contact, who I found to be so friendly, helpful and professional. I had so many questions, which Andy addressed in detail. Skylar presented options, whilst clearly spelling out the pros and cons of each. I have an electrical engineering background, so although the field of solar was new to me, I was able to recognise that what was being discussed was from a knowledgeable and experienced company. At no time did I feel under any pressure. Skylar didn’t take any money whatsoever, until the system was installed and running. Other companies I contacted required at least some money up front. The installation followed an initial on site survey. Workmanship is of the highest quality and the job was completed in a single day. Even in mid February with cloudy weather, we are almost generating the electricity demand from solar I would highly recommend this company

The team at Sky Solar were exceptionally professional especially Payton who was most patient with a newbie to solar power with batteries. From 8 quotes I chose Skylar solar not the cheapest but by far the best in product and service I must admit being a subscriber to Which Magazine I was swayed by Which magazine best buy trader. Installed with the up most care and attention to every detail. Very friendly and professional extremely informative and set up everything including the app. The install was very clean and an extremely impeccable truly amazing work. Very knowledgeable and informative about the solar panel system and batteries. After service from Payton second to none no question to trivial and extremely helpful. Payton set up all the paperwork G99, export DNO and MSC Certs, which made it so easy to receive the correct export tariff quickly. With a lot of rouge traders out there it is very reassuring that there are great companies like Skylar solar out there. A must if you are looking to install a trusted reliable Solar System. Immediately feeling the dividends of the system, within 8 days so far no charge from the grid for electricity after exporting. Truly an Amazing Company Customer service was impeccable.

We chose Skylar from three companies because of their comprehensive estimate and specification. Skylar were mid range on price but all their people have been excellent, explained important details clearly and did what they promised when they said they would. Special thanks to Georgie, Payton and account manager Devon for their friendly and efficient customer service. 10 panels, 3.6 Kw Growatt inverter and 6.5 Kw battery installed in one day by Luke, Liam and Rob. They discussed and agreed all installation issues and followed through with solving any minor niggles on site. All up and running the same day and system generating as it should from moment it was switched on. Thanks, Skylar.

A real pleasure to deal with everyone from Skylar Solar. After agreeing the system and price I was contacted by Devon to arrange convenient time to carryout survey the guys that turned up were very friendly and helpful. Devon then contacted me to arrange a convenient date to have scaffolding erected again both guys were very friendly and 2 days later Luke & Lewis arrived and installed the 16 Hyundai panels, Growatt hybrid inverter and 3 x 3.3kw Growatt batteries within the day they done a great job and left my house clean and tidy and removed all the packaging. I would strongly recommend Skylar Solar.

1 month since our installation of 11 panels and 4.2kw inverter and all is going well. Received all certificates and our export tariff is live. Initially Skylar got stumped by the need to run about 40 meters of cable between 2 buildings and to our consumer board but after a delay of a week or 2 the job was completed in fine fashion. There was no mess, everything done to a high standard, you wouldn't even know they had run cable in the loft or been working about the house. I highly recommend them to anyone else.

I was cautious about who to use for my solar installation (16 panels, 13kw battery, Eddi and Zappi) but opted for Skylar mostly off the back of Which Trusted Trader reviews. True to form they proved to be cheaper than most and quicker to install than all. Although there were some teething problems, mostly related to supply issues re equipment coming out of China and I would recommend that customers closely check the post installation handover info, I cannot fault everybody's effort and desire to put things right once issues were brought to their attention and everything is now operating brilliantly and as anticipated at the outset. All staff, from Georgie in sales, engineers including Rob, Ant and James, plus customer support team Devon and Payton have been lovely to interract with. I would recommend to anyone and have indeed recommended to 3 friends and family who have since used Skylar and are similarly happy.

Our panels were due to be fitted on 12th December but it snowed the day before. Two helpful men arrived early, but despite valiant efforts to sweep snow off the roof, this proved to be impossible, but they did instal the inverter, battery and wiring, leaving the panels to be fitted when the snow cleared. The bad weather delayed most work until after Christmas when two other helpful guys returned to fit the panels, which are working fine - full battery the following day, which is not bad for January. The scaffolding was erected quickly before the work, and removed promptly after by other helpful men who also cleaned the gutter in exchange for a cup of tea.

Complete solar installation in several stages, employees turned up on the dates agreed, put in a tidy installation. Back office have a dedicated employee to liase and sort any issues should they arise. Full marks for that aspect. My installation all works as expected and company works to industry standard bodies MCS and HIES accredited member. Only downside I experienced due to Skylars popularity is talking with Harry in sales!

After contacting Skylar, getting initial quote and answering questions, all efficiently carried out by Harry, was offered a survey about a week later. Survey carried out by Rob, answered a number of questions on suitability and reliability issues of proposed system. Was offered a short notice installation date 5 days latter( due another customer postponement) which happy accept. Installation carried out by Luke on 4th August, but was two day process as he works on own. Not an issue as he does a first class job. Documentation and certificates have taken a while to arrive, thankfully completed by Payton. Now all complete and very happy with work carried out. Having contacted a number of solar installers, many not even bother to reply or fail to quote, even though said would. Another installer, part of local authority scheme, misquoted, failed to meet 5 promised installation dates so had cancel. Skylar are one of the few solar installers worth dealing with, easy to contact and deliver what they say they will and have no problem in recommending them.

Great install of new Solar panels and Solar Battery (even with a out of box failure)

We asked the Skylar Solar team to install our solar panels and solar battery after getting quotes from about 4 other suppliers. Whilst not the cheapest, for me they gave me the best experience initially and the fact that they are a Which Trusted Trader swayed my decision. The install once the contract was signed was quick (about a week after signing) and the install was excellent with two installers working on one of our very hot days we had in August! The system was up and running in no time. Unfortunately the battery was not - after initial investigation work, it was deemed that the Inverter was faulty. Rob the MD, quickly arranged to get it replaced on warranty and had the battery working fully within 2 days of working out the original issue. The whole team were extremely helpful and accommodating and I would very much recommend them. Thank you

They were fantastic. Did all the necessary paperwork like building regulations compliance, get the best quote for scaffolders and advised regarding the best solar panels to have. Very friendly and always answer my phone calls. If they don?t answer, they call back very quickly. We are very happy with the work done. 15 panels have been fitted and bird proofed too.

Contacted 6 companies for solar quote including project solar, who were not the best and most expensive. Also contacted Cambridge Solar and Chiltern Solar, based in Chesham so they were more local to me. They were very good along with E-On but in the end Skylar stood out! I contacted them via FB and they came in and provide a quote and followed all Covid guidelines. They were very professional right from the start. Best thing is they were the only company to mention G99 application apart from E.ON. I don't know why they all want to avoid this, but for me the whole process was smooth. Project solar quoted me GBP14,000 for 14 panels, battery and the inverter but Skylar ended up doing the job for half the price and for the hardware which I wanted. After care service is excellent as installer came back to fit in the right clamps for my roof. Then MD visited me twice and explained me Octopus and to obtain smart meter, once this was installed he even showed me how to charge and discharge battery to save money. Whenever I got a problem I am able to call their MD who is always on had to escalate the issue to the right person. They also install the APP and have access to all your solar panels, inverter and battery. Therefore will monitor in case of any issues or concerns and will try to resolve it. Honestly best decision I ever made and so glad I went with them. Well done and keep up the good work, credit to solar industry!
