Techfor Energy Ltd

I chose Techfor on the basis of their which reviews and to date (2 weeks after installation) have not been disappointed. Glen spent some time getting the best layout of the panels, and when I had accepted their quote, their scaffolders were amazingly quick and efficient at erecting the required scaffolding then their 3 installers were polite, quick and efficient in installing the controls and the 13 solar panels on the roof in one day. Their follow up was good too, providing the documentation for the FIT and the enlighten monitoring system and app. Over the last week in late October (so within the 4 worst months for solar angle), we have averaged 6.5 KWHours production/day, with about 1-2 KWH on cloudy days and about 8-9 KWH on days with sunny intervals. The iboost is a good way to use surplus electricity by heating the hot water in the tank so reducing our use of LPG. I think Techfor aim for very high quality installations, and my experience so far has confirmed this.

From the initial visit to completion of installation, I had the impression that Techfor is a company that is passionate about what it does and knows exactly what it is doing. I did receive quite a few quotations and Techfor were middle range in terms of price. Where the company stood out from others was the professionalism that Glenn Ashby displayed in the site visit, spending a lot of time going through the details of the project, with no pressure whatsoever to buy. This attitude is evident through the rest of the company, which gave complete confidence. All the work was completed as scheduled and the installation team were a great group of lads, working efficiently and with a smile, despite the weather!

I can't recommend Techfor enough - every aspect of the work done was to a high standard. Glenn's (MD) initial survey/quotation was detailed, comprehensive and clearly laid out the options without bias. The installation itself took place quickly and was top-notch, quality-wise. The guys were friendly, courteous and tidied up after themselves once the work was complete - even fixing an issue with our roof while putting the east array up. Lastly, the office team were approachable, efficient and very helpful with the FiT application process. We're very happy with the system. Excellent Company!

I can wholeheartedly recommend Glenn and the team at Techfor for their knowledgeable, courteous and professional approach. They were able to give full answers to any questions which I had. I felt that they were open, honest and straightforward in their dealings with me and I was able to trust them in and around my home in my absence. Work went ahead on time and as planned and I was given regular updates as work progressed.

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.

Glenn was very knowledgeable and carried out a very thorough survey of the premises before quoting for the system. The installation was very smooth and the engineers were very efficient and neat. The system has been working very well since the installation was completed.

We had several companies come to visit us prior to installing our solar panels. They ranged from Mickey Mouse, through average and then we found Glenn at Tech for Energy He is a very knowledgeable person who explained in great detail what he thought we would be able to benefit from. He actually survey aid the building prior to giving us a quote, something the other companies failed to do nearly so thoroughly. He insisted on scaffolding to keep his work is safe and the panels were installed in one day and a few hours the next. The Tesla Power Wall arrived two days later and again was installed within a couple of hours on a Saturday morning! Glenn explained the monitoring apps that we could use on our phones to make sure the system was working satisfactorily and we have just had our first 24 hours of total self-sufficiency vis-a-vis electricity! I would recommend this company without hesitation for the professionalism,expertise, and extensive knowledge of the industry. I also noticed that this company do not employ the salesman, thus not wasting money on unnecessary personnel. Glenn, the owner of the Company was the person who first came to see us and discuss our needs.

We spoke to three companies but chose Glenn and Techfor Energy as they were the most knowledgeable and professional of the three and gave us confidence that the system would do what we wanted. The solar panels were installed over 3 days with very little mess or inconvenience. We also had an Eddi fitted to control heating of the hot water tank and this has worked very well utilising excess solar power generated. The panels even generate power when it is cloudy. We were told that there would be a delay on getting the battery fitted but this was shorter than expected and it was fitted just over 2 weeks after the panels. After an initial hiccup getting the battery working we have now been virtually self sufficient for electricity for a week and have the comfort of knowing that if there is a power cut our battery will kick in automatically giving us uninterrupted power. Payback estimated to be about 15 years (at today's electricity prices) but really this is about generating our own green energy and helping to save the planet - everyone should be going solar!

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.

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.

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.

Glenn and his team did a superb job. They designed and installed our solar panel system, complete with a Tesla Powerwall storage battery and a MyEnergi-'Eddi' hot water unit. We are with "Octopus" and are using their overnight reduced ("Intelligent") rate. We also have a MyEnergi "Zappi" car charger. We are saving very substantially on electricity. We are extremely pleased and would not hesitate to recommend TechFor Energy.

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.

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 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 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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Solar Installation Experience with TechForEnergy I couldn’t be happier with my experience using TechForEnergy for my solar panel installation. From the very first consultation to the final handover, the whole process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. The team took the time to clearly explain how the system would work, what savings I could realistically expect, and answered all of my questions without any pressure or sales jargon. Their knowledge and transparency immediately gave me confidence that I was dealing with a company that genuinely cares about doing things properly. Installation day was handled brilliantly. The engineers arrived on time, worked efficiently, and kept everything tidy throughout. They were friendly, respectful, and clearly took pride in their work. The installation was completed on schedule, and everything was explained clearly once the system was up and running. Since the panels were installed, I’ve already noticed a reduction in my energy bills and it’s reassuring to know I’m generating clean, renewable energy. The quality of workmanship and equipment is excellent, and the aftercare support has been just as impressive. I would highly recommend TechForEnergy to anyone considering solar panels. A professional, reliable company that delivers exactly what they promise.
