How did the installation day go?
It was wonderful actually. The scaffolding was put up on Thursday and removed on the Tuesday. I had some work done on the house in the winter and the scaffolding was left up for 3 months, so I was very pleased with how quickly Soly removed the scaffolding!
The installers arrived at my house at 9am, they were very professional and friendly, and the system was up and running by 3pm.
What benefits have you seen since your installation with Soly?
I am mildly addicted to looking at the Enphase app to see how much energy my panels are generating and to see when the battery is charged up. Before installing solar, I was paying for about £12-13 a week of usage and it now averages to about £2 a week, so I’m really happy with the savings I’m seeing already*. Everything is ticking along nicely with the battery and I now very rarely rely on grid electricity. Plus, I’m planning to go on the Intelligent Octopus Flux tariff once I receive my handover pack and am able to sell back to the grid, which will allow me to get even more financial benefit from my solar panels and battery storage.
*The savings quoted are based on energy prices and install costs at the time of install.
Describe your overall experience with Soly.
The experience with Soly was superb. I found the process to be very efficient and well organised and it’s clear that the company is passionate about helping people understand new technology, especially in the climate crisis. I received great communication and support throughout and I’m extremely pleased with the outcome.
Would you recommend Soly to a friend?
We have spoken to a few friends about switching to solar and have already recommended they use Soly, especially with the incentive of getting £300 off with the Refer a Friend scheme. They are not quite in a position to go ahead yet and want to see what benefits we get in the longer term before they explore it for themselves.
What advice would you give to others considering switching to solar?
My number one piece of advice would be to make sure you’ve got somewhere you can have a battery for storage. Having a battery really allows you to make the most of the energy your solar panels are generating.
