The guys arrived when agreed. Confirmed the position of the charger again and went through the installation process. They worked quietly and were very tidy. I was working from home that day and really appreciated them installing in a way that meant the power went off for a minimal amount of time. The team we had on site were very polite and courteous, and did a very neat installation. Very easy process start to finish.

We had solar panel, battery and an ev car charger installed. From the first quote to the completed installation every aspect was explained. Everyone was professional, arriving on time and sometimes working late to ensure the job was completed. No mess was left. Would have no hesitation in recommending them.

2yrs ago I had solar panels installed by a Sheffield company who subsequently ceased trading. In January, my "Shine App" stopped reporting back, and I had no luck in finding a company to rectify the problem, until I came across Solar Orb. Not only were they helpful and efficient, they proved to be competent, very prompt and fair, overall, they were a pleasure to deal with and come thoroughly recommended.

I had a Tesla Powerwall 2 upgraded to a Powerwall 3 because of my own requirements for additional power storage and power output. This recommendation was made after a very competent and consultative discussion with the professional employees of Solar Orb Ltd. Through every step of the engagement I was kept well informed and felt looked after throughout the project.

We had solar PV arrays installed on the roofs of our house and garden building, totaling 17 panels equipped with microinverters and battery storage (Tesla Powerwall). The service we received was excellent from start to finish. The team was extremely respectful and tidy, accommodating our busy family, including our pets, who were working from home during the installation. I highly recommend Rob and his team.

We asked Solar Orb to install an electric vehicle charge and provide a quote for installing a Tesla Powerwall. Alongside the quotes, the Solar Orb team provided energy and cost ROI calculations to help us understand our grid impact, load shifting and cost saving potential alongside timeframe to recoup the investment. They also recommended the latest energy provider tariffs to ensure we get the best return on load shifting and cost. The installation of the charger and battery was a multi-day process with several of the team to ensure that the location, fit and finish met all the technical requirements and aesthetics too. The team were friendly, tidy and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble and they kept us up-to-date throughout each stage of the process. Since the install, the team have provided insights on our energy consumption and assisted with any app/UX questions we've had. We'd highly recommend Solar Orb due to their professionalism, expertise and great service. Thanks team.

After previously having the Solar Orb team install my solar panel and battery backup system, I asked them to come back and install some plaster-in infrared heating mats for me. It was an absolute no-brainer going with Solar Orb to complete this work for me. Out of all the quotes I received for my solar install, Rob was the only person who actually wanted to come round to my property to scope the work and was willing to listen to my requirements and discuss the pros/cons of different options. The whole team are super friendly, and nothing is too much trouble. For both this infrared heat mat install, and my solar panel install, the team left the house tidier than they found it. One day they were running a few minutes late, so they rang ahead to let me know as much. They keep you informed every step of the way. The whole team are fantastic, and I would recommend them to anyone who needs any electrical work doing. The Solar Orb team are nice people who do a great job, and I'm looking forward to using them for future work.

The Solar Orb team did a fantastic job installing solar panels and a Powerwall battery at my home. Despite the challenges presented by the age and structure of the house, the team took it all in their stride, found solutions for and ultimately delivered a very high quality job. I'm delighted with the end result and highly recommend Solar Orb for anyone considering a solar energy solution.
