View on TrustpilotReview Summary for Spirit Energy
Spirit Energy is widely praised for its exceptional professionalism, knowledgeable staff, and the high quality of its installations, with many customers noting the neatness and precision of the work, especially on roofs, and the use of skilled, in-house teams rather than subcontractors for much of the key work. Customers consistently highlight excellent communication throughout the sales, survey, and installation processes, with specific appreciation for project management, detailed quotations, and honest, technical-first advice, even advising against installations when not suitable for the customer. While the company is often not the cheapest option, customers feel the premium is justified by the peace of mind stemming from their expertise, comprehensive service, and long-standing reputation, with continued support noted even after installation. The most common weak spot, mentioned occasionally, is the office’s proactive communication regarding scheduling and initial information about technology or contracts, though installation teams are separately lauded for their service. Spirit Energy appears best suited for customers seeking high-quality solar panel and battery storage installations, particularly those involving Tesla Powerwalls, Zappi EV chargers, or complex configurations like inset panels, who value expertise, detailed design, and dependable post-installation support over the absolute lowest price. Before ordering, a customer should clarify anticipated timelines...

I have only just had my system commissioned [23 solar panels and Tesla battery), so cannot rate the system in detail yet as its all new technology that I will have to learn about and live with. However, in terms of the professionalism, service, attention to detail and advice from the engineers who actually installed & commissioned the system; I have to thank Klemens and Eddy who represented Spirit Energy (the office could/should have been more pro-active, supportive and forthcoming about scheduling and providing information about the technology and my contract).Will update the review in due course.
Very useful advice over the phone when original installer not available. Excellent service much appreciated.
My EV charger stopped working after a power cut and Spirit Energy responded very efficiently to my phone call arranging an engineer to call round in the next few days. He fixed the problem very quickly and all has been well since. Full marks!
I had a problem with a PowerWall that had been previously installed. The team at Spirit Energy ran with the issue, liaising with Tesla, sourcing a replacement unit and getting it all installed at a time that was convenient with me. Great to have a professional team helping you through some of the complexities of the energy world.
I had a Tesla battery installed by Spirit back in August 2022 (which went smoothly) and recently needed some assistance with the operation of the battery for night charging as I'd changed electricity supplier. When I got to the technical side of the business they helped change some settings remotely to get the charging as I wanted, which is greatly appreciated. This company is professional and doesn't forget you, even after all installation bills are settled. This is customer service that means something and I'd like to shout out to Galad who was my point of contact for this work.
