Techfor Energy Ltd

Glenn was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process, from the design of the system all the way to installation. He was always contactable and sorted out any issues or questions promptly and professionally. His team listened to all our requests and installed the system exactly as we wanted, even when we asked for alterations to the cable routes, kit positions, etc. This resulted in a system which has given us true energy independence, protection against blackouts and rising energy prices, and saved us around £200pm. Not to mention not having to thread an extension cable out of the letterbox!

I recommend Techfor Energy: 1 . They gave a professional survey before you commit to anything. 2. Very skilled tradesmen – roofers, electricians, technical sales, all of which are difficult to beat. Techfor Energy had already installed solar panels for me in 2018, which I was very happy with, and this year I asked Glenn to return in order to install batteries and an EV charger. I am now off-grid until the end of the summer. Thanks to Glenn for recommending Utilities Warehouse, my off-peak electricity over the winter will be under 6p per kWh. Next, an EV purchase to help repay my outlay. I expect it to take 7 - 8 years to achieve this on the assumption that most of my miles will be derived from energy from my home charger and the reduced electricity tariff. I now have solar panels, solar water heating, two Tesla batteries, Tesla Gateway, and a Zappi EV charger. However, a big plus is the software that runs the system to help you save money - believe it or not, the system uses tomorrow's weather forecast to make decisions for you!

Overall Techfor Energy managed the design and installation of our 8Kw solar + battery system very professionally and the installation team were very pleasant, quick, helpful and extremely tidy. The system has been running smoothly for several months with no issues and the expected performance. Highly recommended.

We selected Techfor Energy having looked at a few suppliers as it was clear they knew exactly what they were talking about. The pre-contract survey was incredibly detailed and resulted in the design of the perfect system for what we wanted. They are absolutely not the cheapest solution but we have total confidence the extra cost was a worthwhile investment in system quality, the quality of the installation work and the after-sales support. The selection of Tesla for the battery storage caused us some unexpected delays in delivery but the solar panel installation was very efficient and everything has worked perfectly since day one. Would totally recommend Techfor Energy.

We had a roof array installed as well as a car charger and Tesla battery+dc expansion fitted. The team that came was really friendly and easy to have around. The team at our house and those we communicated with by email ensured regular communication, which was really helpful. We had an issue setting up our export tariff with our energy provider, and Oscar was especially helpful, ensuring we had all we needed to get our tariff set up. The product/apps are great, my techy husband is especially pleased with the end result. 10/10 would recommend.

10 We first considered solar panels in 2015 and having researched on Which Trusted Traders we contacted Glenn Ashby and his team at Techfor Energy, found them very knowledgeable, thorough and indeed impressive. We consulted them again 7 years later when our roof needed retiling and after listening to their advice agreed to their installing further panels, a Tesla battery and myenergi equipment. We are always happy to speak to them to check when we need advice. on any aspect as happened today! Job location: RH4

We are very happy with Techfor Energy and their installation of our solar panels, battery, and EV charger. Glenn is evidently very knowledgeable, and during pre-sales calls, he took the time to carefully explain the technical details of the proposed solution, and I really appreciated their scientific approach to picking the panels they supply as a company. The scaffolding was put up/taken down when it was meant to be, and the roofers and electrician were all tidy and polite. Minor issues that arose were handled without fuss. Overall, we are very happy with our system and will gladly recommend Techfor.

It was immediately evident from my first conversation with Glenn that he had vast knowledge in the Green Energy field, unlike some other companies I spoke to. From the first interaction to the final installation and subsequent ongoing support, he was by far the most helpful of all the solar companies I contacted. I had 13 panels & Tesla Powerwall II installed, and I was slightly sceptical as to the savings promised, but I must say it's definitely lived up to what I was told to expect. Currently, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Glenn & his company.

We had Techfor replace our current solar array with a bigger one, and fit a Tesla Powerwall battery. Great comms throughout the process, from initial discussion and survey to advice and help on how to switch our FiT deemed export over to a SEG Export tariff - they fully understood all of the complications of having an existing FiT array and could answer any and all questions I threw at them. Install was completed on time by a great friendly crew who did a very neat job. We're really happy with the result - been completely off-grid since the install was completed earlier in the week, and that includes charging our MG4. The quote and cost may have been a little higher than others we had received, but well worth it for the obvious knowledge and experience. For example suggesting we'd be better off replacing our existing garage roof kit with new panels, rather than just adding on a completely new array on top of the house - therefore removing the need for any complicated scaffolding.

We have been very impressed by the service and workmanship provided by Glenn Ashby and his team at Techfor Energy. Glenn is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced in this area. He carried out a thorough survey and explained his suggestions and our options very clearly. The quote was comprehensive and competitive (something to be aware of when comparing with other people for example, one of the competitor’s quotes did not include the cost of scaffolding whereas Glenn’s did). The fitting team were totally professional and unfailingly polite and respectful of us and our property. At the peak of the work they were on the roof and in the loft, kitchen and garage but were still considerate. Since having the system fitted and switching to a suitable tariff, we have used hardly any full-price electricity. In winter, the house battery and car (plug-in hybrid) charged overnight on cheap power; with sunnier days now, the charging mainly happens with solar power. In 2023 & ’24 our electricity cost £168 per month on average for January and February; this year we paid £42 per month for those months. No doubt this will be even better as we move into summer.
