Tech4energy installed our solar panels 10 years ago with an excellent all-round service, so when I needed an upgrade I was delighted that they were still in business, The business had clearly grown but without losing the personal touch. The quality and reliability of all they do from start to finish is uniformly of a very high standard across the board. I couldn’t recommend them more highly

Sadly, I must have more money than sense, paying £250 for a solar panel survey that was the same as two other companies that were free! The supposed ‘design team’ failed to produce anything more than other companies.

Excellent solar energy installation performing well

Glenn of Techfor Energy is very knowledgeable on all aspects of home energy. He was happy to discuss a range of options for our solar installation, and clearly explained the pros and cons of different options - in roof v on roof, different panels, microinverters v Solar Edge, etc. We finally settled on a 5.7KW 16 panel LG system with microinverters, an Eddi to capture excess solar energy in hot water heating and a Tesla battery. The battery is still to install due to Tesla's long lead times. We already had a Zappi electric vehicle charger. The installation team worked cleanly and efficiently. The system is doing everything we had hoped. With the myenergi app and the Eddi and Zappi, we have complete control over where the solar energy is used. A separate app enables us to see the individual solar panel performance, instantly and over time. The peak power output is set by the microinverters at 4.8kw, which is achieved on sunny summer days, but even on cloudy days generation meets household needs and more. We have run our electric car for most of the time since installation on sunshine. In addition we have not used any gas water heating over the summer, and there has been significant excess power exported to the grid under the SEG scheme. We are delighted with the system and look forward to the Tesla battery installation, which will avoid early morning and evening grid usage, and enable use of low cost overnight electricity in the winter.

Add Tesla battery

Techfor installed PV panels in 2016. Additional PV and Tesla battery installed operational from 21/7. What a difference. Very little grid power since then and only at night if battery goes to its minimum setting. System has incredible technology managing house demand between panels and battery. Techfor are a thoroughly professional organisation headed by a very knowledgeable leader, courteous fitters/electricians always keep the workplace clean. We got more than Techfor said we would get from our installation. This is a big investment we are making so choose the best. Techfor

PV Installation - Professional, Professional, Professional, Great Result

We contacted 3 suppliers to get information & quote. Two of the responses were laughable. The Techfor response was a very informative call lasting 45 minutes from Glenn Ashby who demonstrated an interest in the requirement and provided information in a easy to understand way. Very professional. This was followed by a paid site visit (at reasonable cost and knocked off final bill) that resulted in an extremely detailed quotation covering solar panel and Powerwall installation. Questions arising from this were swiftly dealt with by Glenn. Very professional. With the quote accepted, installation date was agreed. Scaffolding was erected by the Techfor chosen partner and then the Techfor team turned up to install the solar panels and supporting electrical installation. This team worked with little fuss and carried out the difficult installation (slate roof with all the challenges of lifting substantial areas of slate to accommodate the roof mounting). This took 3 1/2 days to complete which Glenn had warned about and costed in so no unforeseen charges arising. All the work was completed with great professionalism by a very friendly team of guys. The end result is a very successful installation that is producing what was forecast. Glenn provided very useful information to get the most of energy supply and export tariffs. We are still waiting on the Powerwall which is on long lead time but Techfor are keeping us informed of expected delivery timescale. Overall - brilliant!

From start to finish they were AMAZING. The initial survey was extremely professional and detailed. It resulted in a very in-depth, reasonable Quote with no Jargon or mumbo jumbo around our options When ordered the delivery and installation date was confirmed sharpish. The installation was fantastic with an incredible team of hard working chaps who wasted no time in getting the job done. They were extremely diligent and polite with no hassle at all to my day working from home. On top of this the system works a treat Fantastic company with legendary service.

Solar PV and Tesla Powerwall Installation

I originally contacted 3 solar companies, TechFor Energy came recommended. I spoke to the Technical Director Glenn over the phone first, before having a visit and chat with him. No pushy sales here, Glenn was thorough, really took time to understand what I wanted to achieve, he also shared a lot of reading material, external links and reviews to ensure I really knew what I was signing up for and to ensure I got the right system for my needs. The survey and quote was to a very high standard, options clearly spelled out and with competitive pricing. When it came to installation, we had a professional and friendly team, which is important when you have them in and around the house for prolonged periods. Every step of the way we were consulted, communication with the team on the ground and their office was great, and quite a few questions I asked pre and post installation have all been answered thoroughly. Glenn in particular takes a personal interest in ensuring everything is working well throughout the process. Overall, I highly recommend them as a company, and am very happy with my Solar Panels and Tesla Powerwall, bring on the sun!

I bought a Tesla Powerwall 2 from Techfor Energy. The whole process was handled very quickly and efficiently by their friendly team. Everything happened within the timescales promised and in the manner they described. No unpleasant surprises! The actual installation was completed in a day with a minimum of disruption and no mess. What more can you ask for? Thanks very much.

Tesla Solar Battery System

The workmen arrived at the agreed time, were polite and hard working. It took about an hour to locate the battery onto the garage interior wall and then the electrician needed the rest of the day to wire the battery and test it. All the workmen were really helpful and made sure I was happy with what they were doing. They didn't stop other than for lunch and the electrician worked on until he was happy the system was operational. He demonstrated to my wife and I that this was the case. Very happy with the whole process. This is the third time I have had work completed by Techfor Energy and I have always been impressed by the product, their understanding and commitment to it. I cant praise them enough.

Techfor Solar PV Installation - Fantastic
Customer Service
Quality

We only wish we had done this sooner! Glen Ashby impressed us immediately with his technical knowledge, thoroughness and patience in ensuring that we understood the best system for our house and all that was involved in solar PV. He did the most thorough survey of the three firms we asked to quote, answered all of our questions in detail, adjusted his quote as we changed the specification and his price was fractionally the lowest on a £ per kWh basis for an excellent system. In the end we specified a large (6.2kWp) system, including an Eddi to heat the hot water (brilliant kit, saves on the gas bill as well) and a Harvi, as we had the roof space and were buying an EV. It is all now working brilliantly! Like some others, we have waited a year (installed in August 2019) to match Glen’s predicted output, which was 5,325 kWh, with actual output. At an amazing 5,903 kWh, this is 11% more than expected and our electricity bill has plummeted from £1,200 to £400 and the gas bill is down by £200! We have since added a Zappi as the EV has now arrived and every mile we have since driven has been powered by the sun (it charges through the main part of the day when electricity usage is very low) – this has got to be the way ahead for green energy! Techfor was brilliant from start to finish and we unhesitatingly recommend them.
