Heat Your Water with Solar

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 I found Zaffy and his team extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

I had so many questions. I’ve learned loads throughout the process and always felt no question was too silly to not be answered. On the installation day everything went so well. The crew were efficient and friendly. I felt I received a very personal service and would highly recommend the team. For anyone still unsure how to proceed with Solar, you will be guided through the process at a pace that you can work with to achieve the best result for your home and your pocket.

Emer O Donnell

We have had our solar panels for about 3 months now. Our experience with each person connected with start solar was positive. Everyone was friendly and very professional at all times. They have made the whole process straightforward and we are enjoying the benefits of the panels. Highly recommended.

Celene Kirrane

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..

Graeme

Decided to investigate solar power . Looked at a few providers but settled on Start Solar. They set very clear expectations on what to expect from solar energy and were very competitive if not the best quote. Great communication throughout the process and installation was within 2 weeks of order. I’m not underestimating the work involved on the installation day but it felt simple and hassle free. No mess no upheaval no fuss.

The installation team were friendly and knowledgeable and took the time to explain how it would work they also set up the app for both the main system and EV charger and explained how to use it. I’m a few days in to the system and I have no doubt that Solar is the way to go.

Thanks to Andy and the team. Great experience and product.

Uel McCrea

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

I had 16 Solar panels totally 7.12Kw (10 on front roof, 6 on back) installed on 30 Jul along with 2x 5Kw batteries.
I was very surprised that only 2 guys turned up as I was expecting a huge crew considering the work.
The two guys were tidy, polite & had the install finished & handed over by lunch time. Can’t fault them.

The initial consultation with Andrew was also quick & painless & he messaged the evening of the install to check I was happy with how the guys had worked & behaved while at my house.

The install was delayed due to the bank taking FOREVER to get the loan sorted but once the money had arrived in my account the install was complete within 2 weeks.

System is generating away, charging my EV, running the house & exporting a little which is impressive since it’s been cloudy & wet since the install.

Would definitely recommend start solar to friends looking Solar in Northern Ireland.
