6KW Solar PV on two separate roofs with one Tesla battery was a big investment so I got 4 separate quotes. Techfor energy were not the cheapest (nor the most expensive) but they were clearly the company which really understood the technology. I then asked around the area and found others who had used Techfor energy and they were all very happy, so I proceeded. Install, commissioning and subsequent support was (and continues to be) fantastic. For example, 9 months after commissioning I was concerned about a firmware update which was not a ‘guarantee’ item. Notwithstanding this, Glen arrived the following week, sorted the issue, took time to explain it all to me and checked my system over. The company really cares about its customers. I installed my solar as part of a major building project ( re roof, extension, new boiler / cylinder, re wire etc). Of all the contractors, Techfor was the only company always to answer the phone and turn up when agreed. A great company which I would use again without hesitation.

Prior to deciding on a solar installer I have read many reviews on websites such as ‘checkatrade’ and ‘Which? Trusted Trader’. Techfor Energy was the only company that was repeatedly praised for their high standard of work, customer service and time management so I decided to contract this company, and I have not been disappointed. Techfor Energy installed my 2.5 kWp Solar PV system with Enphase micro-inverters and bird mesh, which prevents pigeons from nesting under the panels. I have been very impressed with their service and top quality. Recently, some of the clips from the bird mesh had popped out due to the adverse weather. When I rang Techfor Energy and spoke to Glenn Ashby he sent me his team the next day to replace the clips free of charge. I would highly recommend Techfor energy for any solar PV project as they are very professional with an eye on the detail.

Technically very proficient and great Presales. Poor communication. Average workmanship. Zero post sales support as we with held £400 of the £31,000 invoice to cover remedial work. System does not work at all and we have no way of getting any support.

The customer bought a Solar PV and battery system from us. The PV system has been working perfectly for over 6 months & to-date is still working. Our warranty commences upon receipt of full payment – not yet received. We have offered support on receipt of final payment which is still unreasonably withheld. Pre-sales, the customer was made aware that there was a “year’s” back log of the supply of Tesla batteries and despite our client’s main contractor failing to install cabling as agreed, we managed to install his batteries within the year. The Tesla battery system was commissioned on 23rd October despite TE being owed £5,709.67 at that point. After commissioning the battery system, an additional £5,451.34 was unreasonably withheld. His initial reason for withholding £11,161.01 was that we had not “boxed in” all the electrics (including the existing electrics). Our previous discussions and contract with the customer never included boxing in the old or new electrics. On 1st Nov the customer paid £5,709.67 and then £5000 was made on 11th Nov (when his battery appeared to stop working). £451.34 was withheld – he was going to get quotes to box in all the electrics. Now the reason for withholding £451.34 is to cover “remedial work”. For the first time in over 10 years of trading we reluctantly have had to submit a Money claim online for the outstanding amount. The situation is unfortunately ongoing.

Some 4 years after installation fault developed, reported to techforenegy, 10 weeks later I am getting no responses to mails. When warranty of parts and system was sold on 10, 15 and 20 years, very disappointed with response.

Dear Customer We are very sorry to hear your system has a fault. We have scoured our email accounts over the last few weeks and cannot find a report of a fault, but we do get daily avalanches of emails, so it may have been missed. Please call the office on 0800 888 6544 to report your fault so we can assist you and remedy the situation, as your details on the review are not visible to us, so we have no idea who to contact. Yours sincerely, Techfor Energy.

Relocating and refitting 12 solar panels, setting up monitoring system, and replacing tiles. Tidiness: 10 Reliability: 10 Average: 10 Courtesy: 10 Workmanship: 10 Tech for Energy did a sterling job refitting the panels as I no longer have the problem with rainwater leaking into the sun room below. Relocating some of the panels has also boosted performance which, happily, I am now able to monitor with the new system installed. The work was carried out thoroughly and professionally with great attention to detail, and was completed as scheduled. I was kept informed of progress throughout. I would highly recommend Tech for Energy.

Of the many quotes we obtained when thinking about installing solar panels Techfor Energy's stood out for its clarity and aura of reliability. Glenn Ashby, who carried out the survey of our bungalow, was extremely helpful in explaining the various technicalities to us and made our eventual choice of installer an easy one to make. The work was carried exactly to the price quoted, to a very high standard and by engineers who were a pleasure to have working for us. I would recommend this company unreservedly to anyone thinking of having solar panels installed.

Installing solar panels on roof

We asked Techfor Energy to give us a quote for solar panels on the roof of our bungalow. Glenn provided a comprehensive survey and quote with no obligation. We decided to go ahead. Glenn answered all our questions. The fitters turned up promptly on the agreed date. They did a first class job with no hassle for us. The job was done to the agreed quote. We were impressed with the quality of the people we dealt with and the helpful staff at their office. The only downside was the initial failure of the scaffolders to turn up when scheduled. In all other respect we were very satisfied. The panels are functioning well, as is the monitoring system. I would be very happy to recommend this trader.

Vanishing electricity cost

I am the delighted owner of a 6kw PV array and a Tesla battery. Our roof is SW facing and we have lots of tall trees nearby. We had lived in a grade 2* listed house for 46 years where PV panels are forbidden. On moving we chose Techfor Energy as Glenn told sensible facts, treated me as a colleague and did not try to force us into a deal. The panels were installed in December 2018 and the battery in May 2019. The battery has stopped us needing to use the mains and allows us to do the washing and tumble drying at times to suit. In winter the panels and battery will considerably reduce our reliance on the mains electricity – we will use Agile Octopus to charge the battery when rates are low. Software is supplied to enable me to monitor the panels and battery. Before the Powerwall we were exporting often more electricity than we were using from the mains. I have been extremely impressed with the standard of workmanship and communications from the company.

Our initial survey and chat with Glenn was very informative and he explained all the options very clearly. They then fitted us in before the FIT Tariff cut off date and completed the job in the 2 days as estimated. They also helped us find someone to provide an updated EPC in the timescales required. Overall very impressed with the service provided and looking forward to the next stage of the project when we get a battery to store our solar energy fitted. Would highly recommend Glenn and TechforEnergy
