Last year I made plans to scaffold, re-roof, repaint and install a solar system on my home.
Dealing with the average solar company was frustrating as the typical sales staff had limited technical knowledge and were intent on pushing off-the-shelf packages.
It was a great relief to find SolarGain who were keen to design and advise on an installation specifically for my situation. When it came to the installation, liaising with SolarGain was simple and straightforward and the coordination between them and the other contractors was seamless.
The work went ahead in March of this year and the quality of the work carried out by SolarGain was top class. The company closely supervised their work and established a great working relationship with the other contractors on site.
I have 24 panels divided between the east and west elevations of my house, together with a 5 kW inverter and two 9.5 kWh batteries. Since completion in March, the performance has been faultless and has exceeded my expectations.
I have kept in touch with Phil, Vanessa, and other members of staff at SolarGain and I am confident that should I need it, after sales service and maintenance are readily available.

Once I'd decided to install solar panels, I set out to get 3 quotes. 2 were from national companies, who quoted everything from photos of my property, and promised the earth in terms of what I could expect.
Phil was different. He came to the property and took time to find out what I wanted and what would work.
He patiently explained all that was involved, and gave a much more realistic (to my mind) expectation of what the system could generate.
So, 16 panels, a 5kW invertor, a 5kW battery and a 7kW EV charging point were duly installed in a surprisingly quick and efficient manner. The system works well and already, almost 1 month later, and even in Autumn going in to Winter, I'm saving money.
I have no hesitation in recommending Solar Gain to anybody.

While researching Solar panels a friend recommended Solar Gain UK, so I thought one more quote can do no harm.. As it turned out they were the most professional and thorough of any of the companies I talked to. While not the cheapest they gave a much greater feeling of comfort so they got the business.
The install went exactly as described and took the two days allocated. However the battery supplied developed a problem shortly after install. After some investigation Solar Gain decided a replacement was required. This arrived promptly and the problems disappeared overnight.
The system designed charges from sunrise through to sunset and is saving us a lot of money even on dull winter days.
Cannot recommend more highly

After having PV panels, inverter and battery installed a year ago by Solar Gain we decided that we needed an additional battery to make full use of the very cheap electricity available from Octopus in the early hours of the morning. The best solution seemed to be the Gen3 5.12 unit. After checking it was compatible with the earlier Gen2 hardware we placed the order via Vanessa. Everything went smoothly and Colin arrived as planned. The installation and commissioning went exactly as planned and it’s great to benefit from the cheap battery energy and in the Summer we’ll be able to export at a high rate as well.
Vanessa has been efficient with the follow up paperwork and certification.
A great experience all round.

Phil was recommended to me by my brother who has recently had his system installed. As Solargain is a local company they were able to actually visit my home to discuss what I want to achieve from my panels and battery, and advise how we could get the most out of them. I'm already saving money during the shortest days of the year, and it can only get better!
All of the people working on the fitting were very courteous and worked quickly.

After obtaining three quotes Solar Gain were by far the most efficient and effective.
The personal technical explanations by Phil's visit and the quick and efficient emails and documentation from Vanessa has made the process so easy.
Colin, Andy and Ali fitted and installed the whole system yesterday. Again the very efficient, polite and very likeable crew were a pleasure to have on site.Coffees and pasties were the least we could offer them as they were full on from 8 am through to 6.30 pm.
The GivEnery software is easy to install and gives a great diagrammatic view of the system working. No hesitation in recommending Solar Gain

We chose a local family firm, SolarGain, run by Phil and Vanessa, to provide our solar panels. The site meeting was relaxed and advice on the technicalities was given without any pressure. A very neat solution of a 9 panel display in landscape format, maximising our south facing garage roof was the agreed arrangement.
The quote was prompt and lower than the other local firm, whom I had to chase for the quote, and a national company who gave a quote without a site visit. These companies recommended a mixed array of landscape and portrait panels, which looked untidy.
The installation began on time and on the agreed date. The 2 roofers’ initial work on the roof fittings appeared to be progressing well. It was not until the end of the day when the panels were fitted that it became apparent that the whole array was not central on the roof and was too close to one edge to be MCS compliant. The roofers had made a mistake!
Phil arrived, assessed the situation and resolved to rectify it. First thing the next day and working on his own, he removed the panels, all the fittings and made good the roof. He then replaced everything in its correct place and reassembled the array, nicely central on the roof and MCS compliant. It took him 12 hours, with hardly a break, remaining calm and cheerful throughout.
I have given a 5 star rating to Solar Gain as, even though a mistake was made, their immediate acceptance of responsibility, extremely positive helpful response, and genuine concern was exceptional. How things are dealt with when they go wrong is what really counts!
