 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a very prompt response from the firm in answer to our inverter being off line. Josh came out to help with our sunsync inverter. He was cheerful, polite and very respectful of our home. He was extremely patient in trying to resolve our issues and due to the sunsync platform being down he had to come the next day to resolve our issue. He successfully sorted out our problem and we were only charged the one call out fee. I would definitely recommend this firm and Josh in particular.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Plymouth get enough sun for solar panels to be worthwhile?

Yes. Plymouth's coastal position means it benefits from strong solar irradiance and above-average sunshine hours for the UK — typically around 1,550–1,650 hours per year. Modern solar panels generate electricity from daylight rather than direct sunshine alone, meaning your system will produce energy year-round even on overcast Devon days.

Do I need planning permission for solar panels in Plymouth?

How long does solar installation take in Plymouth?

Can I add battery storage to my Plymouth solar system?
