Deege Solar was recommended to us by a neighbour - and were not disappointed. Thus small company’s ethos is professionalism, knowledge and enthusiasm - and the customer benefits from all three. David heads up the team and is ably supported by technicians and support staff. Their success is growing but there is no dilution in their standards - you may just have to wait your turn in the diary. It will be worth the wait. From our limited experience and that of our neighbour, the follow up support is similarly outstanding. Well done.
From the initial consultation to the final installation, my experience with Deege Solar has been nothing short of outstanding.Pete provided a comprehensive overview of the available systems, offering a competitive quote that made sense for my needs. I opted for the Sigenstor system over the Tesla Powerwall 3, and Pete's technical knowledge and patience in addressing all my questions were invaluable.Nick handled the battery installation with remarkable attention to detail, ensuring a pristine setup. Despite delays due to M25 traffic, Nick and the team went above and beyond to deliver the equipment promptly. Nick's professionalism and engaging discussions about the technical aspects made the process enjoyable.Kate was instrumental in coordinating schedules, deliveries, and payments. Her precision and proactive communication kept everything on track.I also had the pleasure of speaking with David Norman, the Managing Director, whose approachability was commendable. Scott provided consistent updates on the system's progress and offered remote assistance to implement specific requests, showcasing the team's dedication to customer satisfaction.The solar panel installation was seamless. The installers exceeded expectations, delivering a visually appealing AIKO ABC system that performs exceptionally well. Since the installation of the first set of 15 Aiko Neostar 2S panels, I've been off-grid, and with both sides of the roof now equipped with 30 panels totaling a 13.8kWh peak output, the system's performance is phenomenal.I wholeheartedly recommend Deege Solar to anyone considering solar energy solutions. Their expertise, professionalism, and commitment to excellence are truly exceptional.
I hired Deege Ltd (Director: David Norman) to install a solar system and refurbish my roof under a settlement agreement, following a prior two-year delay where Deege limited failed to install a solar system despite a deposit being paid. What followed was a nightmare of delays, dangerous work, broken promises, and what appears to be a poor attempt to escape legal responsibility.Major Issues:Unsafe Electrical Work: Live wiring was left exposed in the attic, posing a fire and electrocution risk. Earthing cables were left unterminated. Even after being warned by authorities, David Norman ignored professional safety advice from the IET.Job Incomplete & Severely Overdue: The project is now 200+ days past the agreed deadline (Originally due to be completed on 24July 2024), with incomplete roofing, missing solar equipment (batteries, panels, conduit, incomplete wiring), and no certification or valid sign-off.Criminal Red Flags:Negligence: Unsafe scaffolding led to a serious injury in my family.Trespassing: David Norman accessed and performed unauthorized, unapproved work on a neighbor's property after damaging my neighbors property.Falsified or missing documentation: Required insurance, certification, and guarantees were never provided, or falsified.Lied about subcontracting a roofing company to carry out, Roof work they weren't accredited to carry out, including providing false paperwork. Repeated failure to act on formal notices and safety violations.Attempt to Evade Responsibility: There is evidence that the director David Norman may be attempting to offload Deege Ltd to a company called Upvolt Ltd — potentially in an effort to dodge liability for the unresolved issues, damages, and breaches of contract. Customers should be extremely cautious.Broken Promises & Poor Workmanship: Roof work was subcontracted to unqualified workers, resulting in structural defects, water ingress, and visible damage. Many repairs were promised, but never delivered. The director David Norman also demanded payments outside the agreed schedule and failed to pay penalties outlined in our legal agreement.This has caused deep financial harm, emotional stress, and has left my family living in an unsafe, incomplete home. Deege Ltd's in particular its director David Norman behavior has been dangerous, deceptive, and potentially criminal. I’m sharing this to protect others from enduring the same treatment.I am currently pursing multiple lawsuits against David Norman & Deege Ltd etc. please do not trust this person as he is a deceptive and fraudulent operator in the industry.I've had a front row seat to observe his business practice and its disgraceful.Avoid Deege Ltd (and any successor company like Upvolt Ltd) at all costs.------------------------------------------------------Update:please note that the Accreditations shown on their website i.e. MCS, NAPIT, RECC etc. DO NOT PROVIDE CONSUMER PROTECTION or maintain standards despite their marketing I have direct firsthand experience. Despite the proven violations and criminal behavior mentioned in this review, this company is still certified under these schemes to conduct business. I implore those reading this to pause and take the time to examine this company, their history and the accreditation bodies they belong to before, making the same mistake I did. This company is facing multiple lawsuits and an ongoing criminal investigation.
I was recommended Deege Solar by a friend who had a battery/solar installation locally. I got three quotes including one from a major energy company but I chose Deege Solar for the following reasons. Firstly they were very flexible to accommodate my requirements. For example, I wanted an installation where the battery stack and inverter were in the garage. Their quote included the work to run underground cabling from house to garage whereas the other providers did not offer this. Secondly David took the time to answer my numerous questions up front and gave confidence in their capabilities. A detailed quote was provided which included ROI calculations. We then agreed an installation date. The scaffolding arrived as planned, and the work was completed 1 day after the planned finish as there was an issue post switch on which the main installer Nick investigated overnight and was fixed the next morning. Scaffolding was removed the week after installation.The quality of the installation work was very good. The cable runs for the panels, battery stack and inverter were very neat as were the roof panel fitting. Nick answered all my questions throughout the installation process and took me through the app installation setup, explained the system and tested the UPS capability and I have been very happy with the system performance since the installation. Overall I was very happy with the work and would recommend this company.
The solar system that Deege Solar designed and installed to my specifications was completed today and I am super happy with it! It is a bespoke installation as I wanted certain features and some specific equipment. Deege Solar made it a reality at a price I could afford!Thank you so much to David and his team and I'm more than happy to recommend Deege if you're looking for a solar installation.
Prolonged incompetence and agony from start to finish. Don't believe the MCS certifications etc or any guarantees. They have no intention of complying.
Great system installed and supported me all the way! Install team went above and beyond! Would highly recommend!
We had our panels and battery installed in August 2023, though this was after some delays. The installation itself went fairly well though the installers, with a small delay because the panels didn't arrive on time. All worked well and Deege were even efficient about fixing a hole that appeared in the roof when a tile slipped during the autumn storms.In April 2024 I noticed that at points the solar energy died completely. I tried reporting this to the tech team and then emailed the director, all to no avail. After several calls eventually in late May, Dave and a colleague came out and tested voltages and currents etc with no conclusion. After 3 more months of chasing (I think they lost a load of office staff) the installers came out in September and tested each panel individually. This showed one panel had a low voltage output and another cut out completely in direct sunlight (not helpful for a solar panel). So off they trot saying they'd go back to the wholesaler and it will get sorted.Now in March 2025 I was getting seriously fed up and Deege have given up chasing the wholesalers to honour the warranty. Dave, the CEO, has offered to replace the panels at their cost and then continue to chase the wholesaler.The panels and battery have mostly worked well apart from the faulty ones. I am assured that it is rare to have a faulty panel so I feel very unlucky to have had 2. I am very pleased the problem is finally being resolved.Deege are technically very good but have issues with proactive feedback. Assuming there are no issues with the equipment you will be happy with what they can deliver for you.
Todays experience was excellent. Got through to Dave to see if I could charge my batteries overnight from the grid. It appeared that I could and he took me through each step to configure this. Brilliant. My only wish was this had been explained and configured when system installed.
I have had solar panels, a battery and an EV charger installed from Deege Solar. It was a great experience from start to finish. Dave was very helpful in providing recommendations based on my usage and he personally has solar installed so he gave me some valuable insight. He is very friendly and addressed all my questions and concerns before the install.On the day of the install, there were no issues experienced with the panels going up and the installation was done in a very tidy and efficient manner.They went above and beyond and even monitored the system after the install to make sure the system was working properly. Would highly recommend if you are looking to get solar installed!
Fast and timely completing the project. The staff were polite and when the job completed left the the site clean and tidy.
Since having to post a previous highly critical review, in contrast to my earlier praise, because of prolonged difficulty getting a response to a problem, I now have to praise the prompt direct contact received from the MD and steps quickly taken to resolve the matter. I trust they learn from what seemed to have been a failure of internal communication which let down the good service and expertise which I know the company can deliver.
Take my advice -- go with someone else. By the time they've actually done what they've said they're going to do you'll have lost the will to live with all the chasing you've had to do and then you'll have a bunch of issues to fix because the original work wasn't done to a decent standard. Notice none of their phone numbers work -- I wonder why...?
Fast efficient service. A problem after installation was quickly resolved
Real honest and personal service provided not just an off the book price given. Custom design taken into account and advice given for existing and future plans. A few hiccups at install but faults cleared quickly and system performing well.
We spoke to quite a few companies and it was clear Deege knew their stuff and were well priced. They made the process very easy and the fitting was done professionally. We had some initial teething problems with the batteries a few weeks after and they diagnosed the problem and resolved it as quickly as they could. That after sales service confirmed they were the right choice and I was right to trust them with my solar installation.
Very happy with the panels, batteries and installation. No issues with quotation and all our queries and questions were answered plus no high pressure sales afterwards which was a bonus.Installation was completed all as planned and on time by a friendly, professional team. Only marked down as took a while to get paperwork afterwards which has delayed setting up our export tariff so we’re missing out on selling back to the grid in the summer sun, but Kate in the office was very good at sorting this out for us.
We have had work done on 3 arrays by Deegee. We have also, unfortunately had some faults, but that is not down to Deegee but Solar Edge and a poor batch of equipment. The team are fantastic, polite, funny and despite the distance between Orpington and Cornwall always makes the effort to get here is an appropriate time. These are great people giving a wonderful service. It would be wrong.to mention specific individuals as this is a family business doing great things. Thanks team!!See more
Really can't say enough about these guys. What a pleasure to work with. Excellent communication, very competitive quotes and the most friendly, cheerful crew you could want to trust such an important part of your life to. I'd say they're slightly the victims of their own success, in terms of how busy they are, but bear with and you'll be rewarded with a world class installation. See more
Our Tesla power wall was installed on time before we went on holiday as agreed. David even sorted some software bugs whilst on his own holiday so when we got back everything was working as expected. David went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. I would recommend Deege as they obviously care about the business.See more
