Solar PV and Battery Installation

I am very happy with the solar panels and battery installation, and how impressed I was by the hard work that was put in by the 4 engineers. They did a brilliant job in some very difficult weather. There were some unforecast heavy showers, but they worked through them. They pulled out all the stops, and went the extra mile to get the work completed in a single day. I shall not hesitate to recommend Spirit Energy to my friends and neighbours that are looking to install in the near future.

Highly recommended - a company to be relied on

Earlier this year Spirit Energy installed a (supplementary) battery in my house to enhance my utilisation of solar energy. The process was quick and easy, the price competitive, and the new battery was installed quickly, once the grid permission had come through. It took less than a day to fit. The fitter, who was courteous, helpful and efficient, left things neat and tidy and also took time to describe operation of the battery, once it had been installed. He really knew his job. With the battery, power cuts are barely noticeable (eg. just a flicker from the lights). Past experience with this company has been equally good. 5 years previously they installed my PV solar generation system, then a couple of years later, my first battery. They do a good job using good quality equipment and my whole system has worked faultlessly since installation. As predicted, my power consumption reduced substantially following PV and battery installation, particularly during the summer. I have no hesitation in recommending this company; I have found it one to be relied upon.

Spirit installed 21 panels and 2 Powerwalls at my property. They engaged patiently with me for months beforehand, answering every query I had and providing all the financial scenario analysis I asked for. The installation took place on time and was carried out with professionalism and courtesy with the electrician answering every annoying question I had for him. I was extremely impressed with Spirit and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Excellent from quote to survey and installation. We had our system installed late September. It reduced our electric demand immediately and since April our energy bills including standing charges for gas and electric have been negative. When I have any questions they respond immediately. Especially getting connected for the feed in tariff. Great service and very happy to recommend.

Having previously been through the process of deploying a PV system, I was much better informed when planning this project. I found Spirit very willing to engage at a detailed level and provide balanced advice across a number of potential panel, inverter and battery configurations. The job was executed quickly, tidily and on time and they were very responsive to my initial technical queries post install. The team has also stayed in touch, checking in from time to time. I highly recommend Spirit!

Spirit Energy have just finished fitting 24 PV solar panels & Tesla Powerwall 2 battery at my property. The whole process from the beginning to the completion was great! Starting with wise sales engineer Sam, superb project manager, Natasha, effective surveyor Justin, fast & careful scaffolders, hard working diligent roofers & finally The great, neat & precise electrical installers who tied up all ends & made the system work perfectly well ! And also customer support Ryan & Charles from accountancy - everyone had their part in successful delivery of this project. In time, without substitutes & in budget ! My PV panels are facing East (12) & West (12) covering the whole roof, and now in summer BOTH sides manage to produce equal amount of electricity even from ambient sky at 5.30am, thus before East side gets lit directly with sun! And this output at 5.30 am is sufficient to power my whole house needs at that time! So, East & West orientations work well too! Thank you everyone.

I have used Spirit Energy 3 times now, once for my original PV/PowerWall installation in 2017 (still going strong), a second time in 2022 when I upgraded my Tesla gateway so that I could take advantage of having power during a power cut, and a the third time to install yet more solar a second PowerWall in August 2023. I can honestly say I wouldn’t consider approaching anyone else as they are competitive on price, very efficient and thorough and their after sales service and support have been excellent.

I had a solar panel and electrical installation done by Spirit to fit alongside an existing battery installation. The experience was excellent. Spirit conducted careful pre-install checks and surveys, which eliminated any surprises. They completed the installation as promised. However, there was a minor issue with pipework in the roof that wasn't identified in the survey. But, they presented a simple alternative solution that didn't hinder the installation process.

My installation consists of 28 PV Solar panels. divided equally between E and W facing roofs together with a Tesla Powerwall-2 battery and an EV point in the garage. Having researched a number of possibilities I opted for Spirit because they seemed to have a genuine interest in providing the most appropriate system at a sensible price. Once the contract was signed a project manager was appointed and thereafter everything appeared on date and on time. On-site workmanship was exemplary with all installation and wiring extremely neat and professional. The various teams involved were all very courteous, polite and helpful - and clearly highly competent. A wealth of technical detail and general information and advice is available on the website, and the staff are willing to help and advise on individual situations.

Installation of solar panels to roof with control gear, electric vehicle charging point, battery storage and all associated electrical works. From my original enquiry to completion Sprite , both office and installation staff were professional but approachable so that any queries or problems that always tend to arise when retro fitting where easily resolved.

We engaged with Spirit Energy for a domestic Solar and Battery install. We found them extremely knowledgeable about the technology and in particular chose them as were impressed with their sales team members approach - acting as a trusted advisor, understanding and guiding our decisions and even talking us out of work that they believed was unnecessary (and thereby reducing the quote). Strongly recommend this company, and have already submitted a few referrals

Installation of solar panels and an EV charger. The work was done with the minimum of disruption to us and also was completed in just a few hours. The whole team worked very efficiently together and things were well explained to us afterwards. No complaints at all.

Spirit Solar fitted 2 strings of PV panels and 2 Tesla Powerwalls for us. They completed the whole process from Design, liaising with the DNO through to fitting and commisioning. Their knowledge and advice was invaluable in guiding us through the process. Their engagement was excellent talking us through each stage of the process and keeping us informed. The workmanship at installation has been excellent and the post handover was brilliant with a full set of documentation supplied. The handover pack was so good that we were up and running on an export tariff in less than a week. Overall the service was excellent and the installation has performed beyond expectations at this point.

Spirit Energy installed solar panels, battery and inverter for our property. The whole process was seamless. We explained what we required and, after an initial estimate, we had a preliminary visit to discuss in detail, a survey followed by a full quotation. The installation, from scaffold erection to completion was stress-free and very professional. Spirit Energy kept us fully informed throughout and the handover couldn't have been easier. Although not the cheapest quoted we received, we consider the extra paid to have been well worth it in both term of quality and peace of mind.
