So Go Solar Ltd

After 7 years of flawless usage of our solar panels installed by Ben and his team, certain components failed on a couple of panels (I have 13) and were replaced within a few days. All issues were resolved quickly and efficiently. Whilst waiting for the installation the rest of the system still functioned well. Stressless, quickly sorted, highly recommended.

What swung it for me: During the selling process Sogosolar actually advised me against buying extras like a battery until they had monitored the performance of the system for a while. Other sellers wanted to sell me extra kit from the word go. The installation was expert, advice was clear and the product is good. I am looking forward to seeing how effective the system is when I touch base with Ben in six months time.

My dealings with Ben were very straightforward. He answered all the questions I had, was extremely knowledgeable and professional, and delivered exactly what he promised. The installation process was easy and painless (for me) and Ben and his team were hard-working, courteous and interesting. They really know their stuff and are committed to the solar cause, not just in it for the short term. The app is a great source of information, showing how the panels are doing - I have 8 and was 23% energy independent two days after installation, in the middle of January! It also shows electricity usage, which has encouraged me to make savings by eg switching things off at source, rather than leaving them on standby. I’m altogether absolutely delighted and would recommend SoGo Solar without hesitation.

I contacted a number of companies when looking for someone to install solar panels. Many didn't come back to me and several of those that did didn't seem to know much about the products. Ben and his team responded very quickly and were very knowledgeable about the different products available and what might work for our needs. They put together a report outlining the options, costs and likely returns which enabled us to decide which option was best. We ended up with REC solar panels on the roof, a SolarEdge inverter in the cupboard and a Zappi EV charger on the side of the house and the plan is to add a battery now that we can see how much we export. Ben was very helpful in showing us how to set up the app that allows us to monitor the importing, generating, consumption and exporting of electricity. Overall an excellent experience and we are very happy with the outcome.

SoGoSolar (SGS) responded quickly to my initial enquiry. After an initial visit a comprehensive quote with technical details was provided and, after a useful discussion, the specification was changed to increase output. The work was carried out shortly afterwards in one day by a very competent team and Ben Saunders then visited us to explain the installed items and the monitoring app. Subsequently, within a few days, after being satisfied the system was working correctly, a full set on insurance, compliance and technical documents were delivered. I recommend SGS very highly.

Installed 8 panels and inverter, plus all infrastructure in readiness for future addition of further set of panels, battery and car charger. Very patient as we worked out what the future-proofed solution should look like. Really pleased with the end result - quality product and installation!

So Go Solar installed solar panels on our roof successfully. The only company to visit when quoting. They were clean, punctual & on price; came back to sort out a very minor glitch.

We had a solar install by Sogo Solar, with an iBoost immersion heater divertor, and they were fantastic. Ben knew the technical details of the various brands and made suggestions to make sure we got value for money (many others would try to sell as much as possible). During installation, Ben, having noticed a number of broken tiles on the roof (these were already broken and not broken by them), went out and purchased several tiles and replaced them at his own cost without any request from myself. Installation was very smooth, clean and tidy, and the panels look great on the roof. We had one issue where we had a tripping breaker, and Sogo Solar came out and resolved this straight away. Excellent company who cares about their customers!

Sogo Solar fitted panels in June and a Powerwall in September (there's a good VAT reason to do them separately as Ben advised). One of the panels became defective (it was noticed by Ben remotely on his App) and he came back with minimum fuss to fix it. Ben doesn't try to oversell - he just believes he is making a difference to our planet (he is). I have no idea how cost competitive he is (hence a cautious 4 stars) as my initial quotes were 2 years old by the time I made a decision to proceed. I chose Ben because I liked him and the way he went about things - and I have no regrets doing so.

I contacted Ben on the recommendation of a friend who had come across Ben - in his own search for a PV contractor - but had not used him in the end because he had already committed to another contractor. From the start I found Ben to be trustworthy, straight talking and informative. His quote was not the cheapest I received but i decided to go with Ben because he came across as sincere, the price difference was not big and i just felt i could really trust him. He did not disappoint. The installation of 23 PV panels, with inverter and Eddi for the immersion boiler etc. all went smoothly. I found Ben and his team both friendly and efficient and they got on with the job with minimal fuss. Ben kept me informed every step of the way. And everything (including wiring etc.) has ben neat and tidy. I would highly recommend Ben.
