Techfor Energy Ltd

Excellent job! Of three firms approached Techfor Energy were able to provide the most detailed advice, comprehensive survey and quote, for a fully bespoke 5.95kW solution. This was based on a range of options with realistic energy projections. Glenn was patient in explaining all the pros and cons around creating the optimum system and his team was efficient and responsive throughout the installation. The system effectively runs itself, with only minor tweaking by app (which gives some great insights into power generation, battery flows, and usage). Glenn has further advised on the best settings to benefit from Octopus’s ‘Flux’ time-based tariff. One month in, results are better than expected despite the winter gloom. Highly recommend.

When the inverter failed on our solar system, Glenn came to discuss micro-inverters. He was very knowledgeable and encouraged us to consider a battery which we agreed to. Techfor Energy installed the micro-inverters, additional panels and a Powerwall battery and subsequently have also installed out Zappi EV charger. We are delighted with our Solar package and do not hesitate to recommend Techfor Energy.

Glenn and the team were really informative, helpful and completed the 5kw battery addition to our solar system really efficiently and with little fuss (this was an addition to a solar system they also put in a few years ago and has been running perfectly ever since). Thanks so much to all the team!

At the end of 2023 Techfor Energy installed 8 additional solar panels, a Tesla battery and a car charger at our property. Initially, I was mostly interested in a battery, but Glenn pointed out that I had space on a SE facing roof which could take additional solar panels to make us even more grid independent. I was very reluctant to let anyone onto our new roof, having had a bad experience with the company which installed the first solar array. However, Genn told me how meticulously he trains his roofers and how he ensures that nothing is damaged in the process. His team o scaffolders, roofers and electricians were very competent, polite and left the sites (roof, garage, driveway) spotless. Almost a year later, I am happy to report that we have been 100% self-powered (Tesla speak for not using any electricity from the grid, etc.) between the 17th of March and the 7th of September this year. Even in gloomy January we were 45% self-powered. Besides feeling smug about saving the planet and being grid independent, I am sure that electricity prices will inevitably go up even more to pay for the energy transition (increasing capacity of the grid) and that blackouts might become more common once net-zero forces everyone onto the grid. I highly recommend Techfor Energy and appreciate Glenn’s continued advice regarding most cost-efficient tariffs.

Techfor Energy installed my solar in late Jan this year, and shortly afterwards my Tesla battery & I've never looked back. Best decision of my life in regards to my energy usage. Since April I've mostly been off grid, both for electricity & gas (as I also had a EDDI installed which heats the water). In 6 months my setup has produced some 2700 kwh from 13 panels (& we haven't had a great spring/summer yet!) From beginning to end, through the initial conversations with owner Glenn, then through his very comprehensive roof survey, installations & subsequent aftercare (with the inevitable questions with regards to app customisations), the whole process has been efficient & stress free. Great job Glenn.

MY JOURNEY INTO SOLAR POWER! Best thing I ever did was phoning Tech4energy and speaking with the owner, Glenn. I made an initial appointment and Glenn visited promptly and carried out a full survey of my home’s potential for Solar Panels. The survey was extremely comprehensive and the following week I received a very detailed report with options and the relevant costings. At no time did I feel pressured to adhere to Glenn’s advice but I am happy I took it. Day of installation arrived and everything went extremely smoothly and to plan. The guys installing were extremely neat and tidy and everything was completely cleared up at the end of each day. On the 3rd day in the afternoon the Solar Panels went Live I had a battery installed and Electric Vehicle charger. These were suggested by Glenn and have proved to be invaluable. The battery stores up power during the day and I am running my home on Solar power. I have purchased an electric vehicle and a full charge costs approximately £7.50. I’m also now using my Tumble Dryer regularly - previously a once in a blue moon luxury. I cannot thank Glenn and his Company enough for the quality of my installation. My electric bill is now minimal and I am no longer afraid to use my electric appliances. My quality of life is so much improved and I just wish I’d switched to Solar Power sooner. If you are hesitant to install Solar Panels be assured it’s a win-win decision with this company I haven’t looked back Thank you Tech4Energy

Glenn is an expert in the filed and explained our options well. He has also always been available for after installation questions and helping set up the different apps to be as efficient together as possible. Installation was efficient and easy with no problems and very courteous staff.

Tech for Energy were professional from the outset. The survey demonstrated how we could benefit from an additional 5 panels & a Tesla battery installed in the garage as well as improving the efficiency of the existing 9 panels. The work was completed in a thorough and very satisfactory manner, and on-time despite one very windy day. Very satisfied with the results. Our electricity consumption from the grid dropped 97% on the first full month (May 2024) of use.

Our recent solar upgrade to add extra panels and a Tesla battery to our system originally designed and installed by Techfor Energy a couple of years previously was once again a very professional job. From the initial assessment which took a number of hours, to the final commissioning, great care and attention to detail was evident from the whole team. The work was carried out over the period specified and exactly for the quoted cost. The Increased generation capacity and battery have allowed us to run an EV and power the house for free over the first month of use. We have exported more energy than we have used on sunny days. We are very pleased with the outcome. I chose Techfor Energy initially as they were a Which magazine trusted trader, Checkatrade listed and MCS certified.

Techfor Energy's technical director was brought in after I'd been swindled out of more than £3,500 by a fly-by-night company claiming to be solar power experts. Luckily I'd paid by credit card, and Which? had advised me that I had the right to compensation under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. The card supplier's Complaints Dept was defensive and dismissive, but the tone changed when I was eventually transferred, months later, to their Section 75 Dept. These people demanded an opinion from an independent expert, but they gave me a full refund immediately when they saw Techfor's authoritative report, which was detailed and realistic and said the whole thing had probably been a scam.
