Heat Your Water with Solar

An Eddi diverter redirects surplus electricity from your solar PV system to heat your water, rather than exporting it back to the grid. This means more of your energy is used at home, increasing efficiency and reducing bills.

What Our Customers Say

Our customers are at the heart of everything we do. From business owners cutting operational costs to families lowering household bills, here’s what they have to say about switching to solar with start solar.

From start to finish, my experience with start solar has been absolutely fantastic. The pricing process was simple, transparent, and stress-free — no hidden costs or confusing jargon. The initial visit to my home was professional and straightforward, giving me full confidence in their approach right from the beginning.

The installation itself was seamless. The engineers were punctual, polite, and took the time to explain everything clearly. It’s rare to find such a combination of technical expertise and genuine friendliness – they made the whole process a breeze.

A special thanks to Suzie, whose backup service has been second to none. She was always on hand to answer questions, provide updates, and ensure everything ran smoothly. Her customer service is truly exceptional.

I’d spoken to several other providers before choosing start solar, but none matched their level of service, friendliness, or value for money. I’ve already recommended them to friends and family — and with the significant cost savings I’m already seeing, I’ll continue to sing their praises!

Thank you, start solar, and especially Suzie — you’ve made switching to solar one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

NI FREESTYLER

I had a great experience with start solar and would highly recommend them. From the initial enquiry through to installation, the whole process was very smooth and quick. The team are professional and efficient. Installation was completed in just a couple of hours with no fuss, and everything was left clean and tidy. The system itself is very easy to use and manage, with clear instructions and support if needed. I’m delighted with the results and already seeing the benefits. An excellent service all round.

Damien Hillen

Great business and team (sales & install) to deal with. They were professional and the install was completed quickly and neatly. Already saving me a fortune on energy costs.

100% recommended.

Alistair Cousins

Brilliant service from start to finish. The whole solar panel, battery and converter were explained well. Everything was placed and fitted with minimal disruption to me. These guys know their stuff and just got on with it from the starting block to the finish line. I knew the basics about going solar but since being fitted I have learned so much more. It is definitely worth it, hassle-free and financially rewarding on your fuel bill – always a bonus.

Muriel Clark

Really happy with the solar installation. The team did a super tidy job – panels look great, wiring is neat, and everything was left clean. They turned up on time, worked efficiently, and explained how everything works in a way that was easy to understand.

It’s clear they take pride in their work, and it shows in the end result. Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about getting solar to get in touch with Andrew at start solar.

Keith Murphy

start solar were excellent at guiding us through all the options we had when it came to adding solar and a battery to our house. From the initial phone chat with Suzie, to our assessment with Andrew, we were confident we had picked the right business to work with.

I was particularly keen to ensure that the installation was neat and fitted in well with the existing design of the house, which is where Damien and the install team did such an excellent job. I’ve been so happy the whole process – we have not imported any electricity from the grid since the install one month ago (in fact we are now exporting!).

Would highly recommend.
