What Our Customers Say
Hear from homeowners and businesses who have trusted start solar to power their properties with clean, reliable solar solutions.
From the very start I spoke to a sales man called Zaffy and he talked me through the whole process of solar panels and gave me all the advice I needed he was genuine and very obliging as i wasn’t the easiest to deal with, the day of installation all the lads were really nice and professional and done a excellent tidy job, they made sure before they left i was set up using the app and explained everything,im delighted I chose start solar for my solar panels and would strongly advise anyone looking for solar installation to give these lads a shout
We were struggling and on the verge of closing because of massive energy costs. It felt like every penny we made was going right out the door on bills. Three or four weeks ago, we were on the edge. I remember telling our predicament to the elderly ladies that we host at our Bingo night and they were so upset over the possibility of a closure, they didn’t know where else to go. I knew there wasn’t another option we had to work hard to get ourselves back up.
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.
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.
We’d been thinking of getting solar panels installed for a number of years, but just hadn’t gotten around to doing anything about it…..until now!
The team at start solar installed 17 panels, battery storage, and EV charger and water heater a few weeks ago, and we’re addicted to watching the APP showing the energy being harvested from the sun and locked into the battery for use during the day. Our electric bills are high, working from home, electricity is in constant demand. Since the installation, we’ve used practically no electricity, and we anticipate a payback from the system within 4 to 5 years.
The inverter and battery were installed in the roof space, leaving the wall space in the garage free. The water heater was installed in the Hot Press, and heats the domestic hot water supply when the battery is charged (but you can divert the energy directly to the water heater at will if needed rather than it going directly to the battery). The APPs that track the electricity generation are easy to use, and the system takes care of itself with no intervention needed once set up.
We’d highly recommend the Team at start solar for your solar journey. Suzie and the Team are based locally (in N. Ireland), and are readily contactable should you need any guidance.
Recently installed 22 panels with start solar on a ground mount with an 8kW battery and a zappi car charger. Although we got of to a bad start, some delays initially, due to storms, materials, poor communication back and forth I eventually got through to Ben who quickly sorted the issues and I couldn’t be happier with the system. Deposit paid in December and system installed in March. Because off all the issues I had with the company I got a very healthy discount and a 200 euro donation to a charity of my choosing in Mayo. Guys came and done the work all in one day. All the lads on the ground were sound to deal with, very helpful and I would recommend them to anyone. I’ve been generating high levels and selling back to the grid since March.
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.
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
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.
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.
start solar were very quick to reply with any enquiries I had and explained everything well.
The company have a good reputation and came in with a very competitive price. The systems they use come with a fantastic warranty too. It’s now been two months since I had the system installed, and I am very happy with it.
I know if I run into any issues down the line, this company will still be around.
I had Suzie out in April to give me a quote for solar panels after the company did a presentation in my work place. I had been interested for some time but during the presentation it sounded as if it had become more affordable than when I first started looking. Suzie designed a system for us after doing a survey and looking over our electric bill for the year. I opted for 16 panels, inverter, 5kw battery and the Eddi hot water controller. The system was installed at the start of June. The installers were very professional, no wires visible and the system is hidden away. Within just a couple of hours the system was fully functional. I notice that there have been a few miserable days where it didn’t quite cover our electricity usage but most days it covers all of our needs and we also export plenty back to power Ni. Very happy with the system and start solar so far.
