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.

With an Eddi installed, you’re making the most of every unit of electricity your solar panels generate.

Andrew and team at start solar made the experience of getting solar energy into our home flawless.there workmanship was first class 👏. And all our questions were answered. The panels and hot water eddi were fitted two weeks ago and already we are seeing the benefits of the system. Long story short we would recommend the team at start solar 100%.

Mrs Smith

start solar install team arrived, fitters and electricians, very knowledgeable and competent. Clean and tidy. Guys explained in detail how my system worked and how to get the best efficiency from it. Well pleased.

Wallace Douglas

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

To I say my experience with this company was positive does not cover it.

Have been considering.Solar for some time but as we have a 3 storey South East facing house did not think it would be viable with fiscally or logistically..

Having spoken to a number of companies that did indeed seem to be the case, even if they would consider an installation given the height of the roof I was getting the impression I was being offered an “off the peg” package when I wanted it tailored to me. Andrew from start solar gave me that, face to face meeting to answer my many many questions, gave me confidence in dealing with this company.

Installation agreed, installed Tuesday the 13 of May 2025 (3 days ago) by an amazing team, seeing the benefits already. Highly recommended!

Roger Gillespie

Great company to deal with, very neat and clean install, installation lads very friendly and professional. Zaffy sales rep explained everything was great to deal with, have pv system up and running now 2 weeks and its have exceeded my expectations, I should have done it years ago. Thanks guys

Nigel Moran

Absolutely delighted with my solar panels, Suzie came out to the house and gave us a great breakdown of how the systems worked, we opted for 16 panels, battery and inverter, already seeing the savings.

The guys on the install were very professional polite and very tidy, after the install they sat with me and went through the app in detail and how it all works..

Highly recommend start solar if you are considering getting a solar install..
