What Our Customers Say
Hear from homeowners and businesses who have trusted start solar to power their properties with clean, reliable solar solutions.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
start solar have been a pleasure to deal with from the initial enquiry to the installation of our PV setup they have been professional, prompt and pleasant. Despite my initial scepticism that the installation would only take a day – the team arrived within 5 minutes of the advised time, had the panels mounted on the roof by lunchtime and the system up and running by 4pm!
No hesitation in recommending Andrew and his team if you are looking at solar PV.
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.
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.
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.
