Our decision to add solar PV to our house was not straightforward. As a listed building we were not allowed to put panels on the roof. Gordon did a thorough site survey and talked us through all possible options. Eventually, we decided on a domestic solar array in our orchard, but this required planning permission. It took many months to obtain this, but Gordon and Jaine supported us with helpful advice on the planning process. The installation was efficient and very tidy. Unfortunately the solar hot water diverter was out of stock with their supplier, but as soon as it became available Solarkinetics arranged to fit this. Throughout the process we found the whole team to be helpful and friendly, and we are very pleased with the outcome. Even 16th-century houses can benefit from modern solar technology! Thank you to Gordon, Jaine and the whole team- we wholeheartedly recommend Solarkinetics

I had quotes for our PV system from 10+ companies and Solarkinetics stood out head and shoulders above the competition. Everything from first contact through the estimate to instillation and commissioning of the system could not have been a better experience. Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and efficient. They were super responsive to all our questions and requests. Talked us through all the options for a system best suited for our needs. They went above and beyond in making sure that everything was right even to undertaking a G99 application with our distributor and negotiating an increase in our maximum allowed installation under a G98. The installation and commissioning of the system was quick and efficient even down to the scaffolding sub-contractor. Brilliant. The only down side was that they are so busy that we had to wait 4 months for them to be able to install our system - but well worth the wait! Thank you Jaine and Gordon

Solarkinetics is a family business so you know that if anything goes wrong it’s their reparation on the line. After reading the reviews on Which, we phoned Jaine to see if we could arrange a survey. Gordon and his son arrived on time which is always a good sign. Gordon believes in what he does (he is not a salesman on commission) so there is no over-promising he tells what will work and what will not. A few days later the quote arrived, it was a little bit more expensive than some of the other’s (but sometime you only get what you pay for) So, we decided to accept the Solarkinetics quote. I am so glad we did. Scaffolding arrived on the Monday ready for the start of the insulation on the Thursday. The insulation team arrived on time (Gordon his son and one other) The whole team were very professional, efficient, clean and tidy. The Instillation and commissioning were fast with minimum disruption and they managed the project completely. Soon after completion, they posted us a well-presented owner's manual and documentation, including guarantees, MSC certificate and letter from Western Power Distribution to enable us to apply for the SEG tariff from our supplier. Gordon and his son, not forgetting wife Jaine and Bethany, are a very impressive team, everything from initial survey to installation and paperwork was done with the same friendly and knowledgeable efficiency that gives me no hesitation in highly recommending them to others. Outstanding, thank you all.

We chose Solarkinetics to install solar PV on our garage as they were the most professional and the cheapest. The installation was well coordinated and the aftercare to iron out a couple of wrinkles was excellent.

Solarkinetics installed our PV system on time and with minimal fuss or disruption. They were willing to answer all our questions and explain the pros and cons of different configurations and possibilities. All together a very efficient and friendly service leaving behind a first class installation using the best available technology. We would definitely recommend them to anyone wishing to install a PV system.

Solarkinetics is a family business. Gordon does the initial survey and (with his son) the installation, and Jaine does all the admin and communications. They provided two alternative and comprehensive quotes, for different levels of generation. Panels were REC and the inverter was SolarEdge. Pricing was very competitive. They require 25% payment in advance and the remainder on completion. Price was as per quote. The installation was very efficient. There was a good liaison with their scaffolder. Installing the panels and the inverter took two days and involved no mess or noise. Scaffolding was in place a couple of days on either side of the installation. The only slight reservation I had was that they did not warn me in advance that I would need a spare ethernet socket on my wifi router to connect the inverter to the internet. Fortunately, I did. Soon after completion, they posted us a well-presented owner's manual and documentation, including guarantees, MSC certificate and letter from Western Power Distribution to enable us to apply for the SEG tariff from our supplier. At the time of writing this review (March 2021) the system has been working for a week but appears to be producing electricity at a level that was projected. Solarkinetics responded quickly to any queries, mainly by email. All in all a very pleasant experience from start to finish.

They carried out a thorough site survey and produced a very detailed quotation. The installation was carried out very promptly (considering problems caused by Brexit and COVID19). Communication with them was very easy. The installation was carried out efficiently and tidily. We would highly recommend them.
