Engage Tech4 Energy. Beware using 3rd party suppliers for your green energy projects

Tech4 Energy originally initially installed our Solar PV, Tesla Powerwall II battery and myenergi equipment. They did a fantastic job and the system has been in operation for 3 years now. HOWEVER, we made the mistake of going with a 3rd party supplier (major UK "green" electrical supplier) to install a Zappi EV charger. BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER. The engineers from the 3rd party company were not trained, did not understand how to integrate the Zappi charger into our (myenergi) installation, violated Heath & Safety and electrical compliance standards. PLEASE DON'T MAKE MY MISTAKE, USE SOMEONE LIKE TECH4 ENERGY.

Techfor designed and installed our first PV array which has delivered and payed back exactly as planned so they were the go to for our expanded PV and battery system. From survey through system design to installation their expertise, attention to detail and customer service has been excellent. The new system is now delivering, has eliminated our need to purchase any day time grid energy and is on track to reduce our electricity bill by over 80%.

Excellent company, I have worked with Techfor Energy twice. They installed my first solar system in 2013 and I have been so pleased with it that I asked them to upgrade and augment the system in 2023. After a thorough survey (not a sales pitch) I went with Glenns advice and now have a system that charges my car, heats my water and a Tesla power wall that stores excess for overnight use with green energy I am still exporting to the grid and Glen has taken the time to follow up to ensure the system is working to its optimum output. The quote was detailed and easy to understand. The team were very polite, professional and efficient. always on time and tidy. They have also been available for rare after sales queries. I am delighted with my seamless system. Completely off grid for most of the year I have already had my 1st off grid week in January. I will look to Techforenergy for advice on future developments in solar technology. I recommend them to anyone interested in solar systems. Thanks Glenn and the team.

Techfor are based locally near us. Glen Ashby took great care with the initial survey and design work. Brought us along at each stage by clear explanations. No hard sell. We were impressed by their whole approach. The job was done in two stages - the installation of the panels, and then the installation of the Powerwall batteries. The batteries were on a very long delivery because of high demand for Tesla batteries. The installations were carried out efficiently and professionally. The batteries have made a very big difference - we got to the stage in the summer of resenting having to pay for any electricity even though we run an electric car. There was one small glitch with the battery installation which Techfor fixed straight away.

Tech4energy was recommended to me by my neighbour who had a solar pv system fitted by them. I contacted them and Glen came out and did a thorough survey, and gave advice as to what would be the best system for us. We wanted to be able to go off grid as much as possible. Heat our water, charge EVs, and store excess energy. So quote accepted, we went ahead. The install team were polite, friendly, and professional. 100% happy! We achieve everything we want from our system. So when the sun shines we can heat our water ( A new water cylinder with bottom fed immersion heater required). Charge the Tesla powerwall battery, and charge an EV. A Zappi charger allows fast charging off the grid and a slower charge from solar energy. On a cloudy day, obviously energy production is less. 5kw/h on a sunny summer day max. 0.5 to 1.5 kw/h on a cloudy day. We can still run the house and charge the battery, and some water heating. Not enough for an EV charge. Winter time will be less obviously. So far in 6 weeks we have not used any energy from the grid. We use the battery at night and morning until the sun does its job. We are on Intelligent Octopus for off peak energy at night 7p/kw/h, so we can charge an EV cheap rate if we need to. Outgoing octopus for exported energy. 15p/kw/h. Glen advised us on all of the above, and we are extremely happy. Thanks Glen. One of the best things we have spent our money on. I highly recommend Tech4energy to anybody thinking of having a solar pv system fitted.

Contracted this company to assess and install solar panels and battery. The service started with a 3 hour survey including shading, refundable on purchase. This was followed by panel installation and (at a later date) a Tesla Powerwall. On each occasion I was contacted beforehand to arrange installation, and was kept in touch with what was happening. The fitting team were the same ones each time, were polite, neat and tidy, respected our house and furnishings and finished on time. Without prompting, I was asked to stage payments (deposit up front, further payment prior to installation, substantial payment on completion). An excellent service.

Solar Panels installation experience, from start to finish

In every respect, I found this a good experience with the Techfor team. The project was discussed together until I was comfortable understanding all aspects before proceeding - I wanted no surprises! Once agreed in concept, communication in terms of timing of the installation (20 panels) was proactive and helpful. As such, this went smoothly and in line with my expectations. The team that did the job were professional and helpful. All questions were answered clearly. No issues. Even the removal of the scaffolding went smoothly (different team). The project was done on schedule and in line with my budget. The stand out service here for me was the consistent pro-active nature of the service by the entire team. They seemed to look at things through my eyes first - before their own! It was overall a novel and refreshing experience.

Really helpful advice, not pushy, genuine chap
Spoke to Glenn looking for a solar thermal quote. His first reaction was that for our needs, supplementing our existing PV solution would be a better long term investment (about the same cost but far lower ongoing maintenance costs). He advised that we were outside of his area, but rather than just saying bye, he then took the time to walk me through a number of options for panels, pros and cons, installation sites (including the fitting to use) and options for expanding the system in the future with a battery, to use as a basis for talking with more local installers. It is not often you come across someone as genuinely helpful these days.

The process of working with Tech For Energy for our solar array was fantastic from start to finish. From first contact with Glenn, through the survey and installation, you can tell they not only know their stuff but also are very passionate about it. The install team was lovely, and in places went above and beyond to do the job correctly, rather than just what would have worked. We're very pleased with the results and the panels are now performing well, even though the weather is not ideal for this period of the year. It's great seeing the stats and analytics, I've become a little obsessed already. Can highly recommend.
