Spirit Energy installed additional solar pv panels to the ones they installed back in 2012 and additionally a Tesla 10kw storage battery. The work was carried out, as expected, in a professionally manner with a minimum of fuss and disturbance. The installation itself is neat and tidy and is working more efficiently than we anticipated. The system is providing cheap energy to drive our heat pump and is now,in the summer months, exporting energy to the grid. A win-win!

Spirit Energy - Battery Installation
Customer Service

Spirit Energy installed my 13.5 kWh Tesla Powerwall 2 battery in November 2021. The team that carried out the installation were thorough and professional and since then I've had trouble free service from the battery. Along with a 4kW solar panel array installed previously by Spirit Energy and the battery, my energy bills have reduced as during the "sunny" months I use no energy from the grid. All my household appliances are electric and I use an immersion heater for hot water. It is only during the colder winter months that I use gas from the grid for the hot water and central heating boiler. As you can tell I have been very pleased with Spirit Energy.

The Wow Factor Experience

Spirit installed 10 LONGi 490W mono black solar panels with a bird mesh and a Tesla Powerwall 3 and Tesla Backup Gateway 2 battery storage system, on my property in March 2026, which was state of the art at the time of ordering in September 2025. This also included it being wired in such a way to allow the option of expanding the system in the future. I am extremely pleased with the result. In fact, I would say my property looks better with solar panels on it and so far the system has been very good. Spirit went above and beyond to maximise the return from my roof space and give me the best possible value for money, to ensure I received the most beneficial long term financial investment. Spirit is the Rolls-Royce of solar panels and battery storage installers, and Spirit’s name certainly befits Rolls-Royce’s emblem. I was taken aback and astonished at how good Spirit is and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone. If there was such a rating as a Six Star Review, I would give them that instead, which is something I have never said before. A big thank you to the Technical Designer Tok, the Head of Residential Nathan, the Senior Electrician Simon, the Project Manager Dimitrios, the Roofers Jozsef and Rob, the Electricians Dan and Brandon, the Financial Assistant Fig, the Head of Customer Experience Ronnie and the scaffolding subcontractor JCR Scaffolding.

High quality installation from Spirit Energy

My system was installed in January 2023 and has been running perfectly for 2½ years. It comprise three solar panels and 13.5kWHr Tesla Powerwall2. Given that I get electric car charging rates from Octopus Energy, I use overnight electricity to top up the battery (plus solar) and never pay peak time rates. Apart from car charging, I use about 7kWHrs a day to run the house which is perfect for my system design. Lat year my solar panels generated just over 1MWHr of energy which represented about a quarter of my total electricity usage (including car charging). I chose Spirit Energy through a recommendation from Tesla UK and had no previous knowledge of them. I feel I made the right choice as their performance in understanding my requirements and the design of a system that matched this was really excellent. The quality of installation and commissioning work was professional and I have experienced no problems since it was installed. We have lived through a number of electricity feeder issue in our road and each time the Powerwall has isolated itself and then resynchronised so we did not notice the failure. They are a great company to work with and I am very happy to recommend them for their professional engineering and installation skills.

Thank you so much for such a detailed and thoughtful review — it really means a lot to the team. It's great to hear the system is working exactly as designed around your Octopus tariff and EV charging, and that the Powerwall has handled those grid outages without you even noticing. That's the system doing exactly what it should. We're really glad the Tesla UK recommendation led you to us and that you feel it was the right choice. We hope it keeps performing just as well for years to come!
Very happy with my system

I have been really impressed with Spirit Energy team. I had 18 panels and Powerwall 3 installed two weeks ago. From design to commissioning the process has been smooth, overcoming complex challenges which has resulted in a neat install with minimal issues. - No issues with scaffold - No issues with mounting and installing panels. I was worried about cables under the panels and bird mesh on some of the corners not flush to tiles but have been assured these are not issues - Powerwall 3 install and wiring in the garage is neat and hardwired to my router - Wiring from garage to the utility, on the other side of the house is neat. - Wiring of the gateway in the utility is neat. - Commissioning and handover was thorough with all the documents post install received prior to paying remaining 10% of my invoice So far, no issues with wind, rain and the system is running well. Can't wait to export! BIG THANKS to Tok, Matt, Sam, Ari, Harry, Peace and Justin for being patient with all my questions. Matt especially took care to understand my concerns and step me through every inch of the install. Thank you

Thank you so much for this and for taking the time to name the team individually, it genuinely makes their day! It sounds like it was a complex job done properly, and we're really pleased the whole process from design through to commissioning felt smooth despite the challenges. Matt and the rest of the team will be delighted to read this. Two weeks in and already running well - exciting times ahead when you start exporting!

I cannot speak too highly about Spirit, who were professional, courteous and responsive throughout the whole process from initial inquiry, design, installation and post-install follow-up. I've been using the system without fault for over a year now, and it has generated in line with Spirit's very realistic predictions that were incorporated within the quote and the estimated payback periods. All their staff seemed to be very expert at what they do, and there were no faults at all throughout the whole process, all of which was taken care of by Spirit, such as arranging scaffolding, etc.

Thank you for such a kind review - this is exactly what we aim for from first conversation to long after installation. We're especially pleased to hear the system is generating in line with the predictions in your quote. We work hard to make sure those numbers are realistic rather than optimistic, so it's great to know that's been the experience in practice. We'll pass your kind words on to the team!
Tesla Powerwall 2
Customer Service

Spirit Energy arrive to fit a Powerwall 2 with non back up gateway in Aug 2019. My first impression on meeting the engineers was how professional they were. They explain the install, ask where I would prefer it fitted, advising on the best location. The chaps took most of the day doing a very neat installation and then downloaded the Tesla App and explained its use. I've been so impressed by the Powerwall and the savings I’ve made that in Aug 2023 Spirit energy installed a second Powerwall 2, this time I had the full backup gateway fitted with it. I now have a heatpump and my word, having the two Powerwall has made a huge difference to my energy bills. Would I recommend Spirit Energy? Absolutely. They may not be the cheapest but as I’ve learnt in the past, buy cheap buy twice. As for the Powerwalls I can’t fault them, they just run in the background charging on cheap rate power and discharging during the day. What’s really clever, if you have solar, the Powerwall will charge fully at night when there’s little solar during the day. In the summer, when lots of solar is available, they partially charge at night to leave space for solar.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review, and for your loyalty over the years. It's brilliant to hear that our team made a strong first impression back in 2019, and that the quality of the installation held up well enough for you to come back to us in 2023. Two Powerwall 2s, a heat pump, and a backup gateway is a serious setup, and it sounds like it's doing exactly what it should. Your point about the intelligent charging behaviour in summer versus winter is spot on, and it's great to see a customer getting the full benefit of that. "Buy cheap, buy twice" sums it up better than we ever could. We'll be sharing that one with the team.
A Professional Job and Great Customer Service

Spirit Energy did an excellent job of our solar panels & battery installation, from initial contact, through quote, site visits, and the onsite implementation. At every stage they provided a professional service with good communication and assistance with any queries or problems that arose throughout the process. They are not the cheapest, and stated this from the first contact. However I consider that it was well worth paying more for the peace of mind and high quality of the work. They also provide an insurance policy (HIP – Home Insurance Policy) against loss of deposit and the risk of their no longer trading, so that their warranties are guaranteed (up to 10 years). This is why they cost more. The GivEnergy system has worked reliably, and in conjunction my Hypervolt Home 3 EV charger and Octopus Intelligent Go tariff, has resulted in a huge reduction in my energy bills and motoring costs. I have found ways of using the system to move 93% of my electrical consumption into the very low cost 6 hour overnight rate from 11:30 to 05:30. During the summer months, with good solar output, I affectively have free electricity and motoring. My latest monthly bill (April 2026) estimates my annual costs as £496.77 for electricity and £319.09 for gas (I still have a gas cooker & gas central heating, although this is used far less now that I have installed an overnight storage heater, an infrared heater in an outhouse and an air to air heat pump system for air conditioning and heating).

Thank you for such a thorough and considered review. It's great to hear the whole process, from first contact through to installation, hit the mark, and that you felt the value was there even knowing we are not the cheapest option. Those energy figures speak for themselves. Moving 93% of your consumption to off-peak and seeing bills like that in April is exactly the kind of outcome a well-integrated system should deliver. Thanks again for taking the time, and please do get in touch if there is anything we can help with down the line.

Spirit Energy installed 16 solar panels, associated equipment and Tesla battery at our home. The service was excellent and the team did a great job. The perfomance of the panels has been very much in line with projections and we now import very little power from the grid. We would certainly recommend Spirit Energy to anyone contemplating the installation of solar panels.
