Techfor Energy Ltd

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.

We wanted to install solar panels on our tennis court which we no longer used rather than on our roof. I spent several months researching a subject I knew little about and spoke to a large number of companies. Techfor Energy stood out as one of the most knowledgeable. We were impressed with their survey and detailed quote which seemed extremely thorough. Now that the work has been completed we are extremely happy with the end result and believe we made the right choice. We are self producing a good percentage of the electricity we consume and with the Tesla batteries are able to store it at off peak rates. There have been one or two teething problems but these have all been resolved so far, and the support has been first class. I would certainly recommend Glenn and his team to anyone who is looking for a quality solar energy installation

Techfor Energy provided an extremely professional, technically excellent and friendly service throughout my project. The project management was excellent. All the tradespeople involved in the installation were polite, very competent and reliable. The workmanship was excellent and the project was completed on time, on budget and without fuss. The technical director was very closely involved throughout and was very impressive with his depth of knowledge and professionalism. All my questions were answered promptly and fully. I would recommend this company without hesitation.

We had solar panels, a new car charger, water heater and batteries installed. Everything was great from the initial scoping of the project and planning all the way through to having scaffolding up and panels installed and subsequent battery installation. The whole team are great, and were a pleasure to have on site. I have recommended now several times and would continue to do so.

This is my second system from Tech for Energy. I had a 4KW system for 10 years in my previous home which never had a problem and gave me payback in 6-7 years (FIT Scheme) So I went to Glen again when I moved and now have a 5.6KW System using newer high efficiency panels and a Tesla Battery. The system is working great and on a sunny day I am getting enough Solar to charge the battery and run the house (nothing from the grid). This is at the end of November! I can't wait to see the summer figures. Great service from a very experienced company who listen and work with you for the best solution

Our house has a challenging aspect & roof design for effective solar PV installation. A number of local solar companies had declined the ability to install PV solar panels. Glenn from Techfor Energy saw this as a surmountable challenge & came up with a viable solution which made economic sense. We chose a Tesla wall battery to maximise storage of off peak electricity to add to solar generation. The installation team were excellent, courteous, tidy & did a neat job whilst respecting our property. The system has been up and running for over 3 months now and we are absolutely delighted with its performance which has exceeded our expectations.

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.
