Techfor Energy Ltd consistently receives high praise for its professional and knowledgeable staff, particularly Glenn Ashby, who often conducts thorough surveys and clearly explains options, leading to competitive and comprehensive quotes. Customers frequently highlight the efficiency, politeness, and respect shown by the fitting teams, with installations often described as quick and seamless, even when involving complex work across various parts of a property. Project management is also frequently cited as excellent, ensuring projects remain on time and within budget. There is no evidence in the provided reviews regarding common problems or weak spots, with any minor issues mentioned appearing to be resolved quickly and satisfactorily. The company seems particularly well-suited for customers seeking solar PV installations, including those with more complex requirements such as integrating Tesla Powerwalls or accommodating loft conversions to maximise solar array potential, and those looking for ongoing performance monitoring via dedicated apps. Before ordering, potential customers should clarify the specifics of the monitoring app and its long-term support, though reviews suggest robust offerings in this area, and perhaps confirm expertise if their project involves unique architectural challenges, although the company appears adept at innovative solutions like hip-to-gable conversions.

Work undertaken: Fitting solar panels, house battery and car charger
We have been very impressed by the service and workmanship provided by Glenn Ashby and his team at Techfor Energy. Glenn is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced in this area. He carried out a thorough survey and explained his suggestions and our options very clearly. The quote was comprehensive and competitive. The fitting team were totally professional and unfailingly polite and respectful of us and our property. At the peak of the work they were on the roof and in the loft, kitchen and garage but were still considerate. Even in the gloomy days of winter, our energy cost has fallen.

Work undertaken: Solar Panel, battery and EV charger Installation
From the first phone call with the owner of the Company I was impressed with the knowledege and experiance they had. The recommendation to do a hip to gable loft conversion considerably increasing the surface area of the south facing roof facilitating a much larger array. Even before the roof works commenced the company installed a Tesla Powerwall which immediatley reduced my electricty bill by charging the battery at night using an EV tariff. Yesterday with the array in place I generated over 30kWh of electricity more than meeting my household needs and I put a good charge into my car.

Techfor Energy provided an extremely professional, technically excellent and friendly service throughout the project. The project management was excellent. All the tradesmen involved in the installation were polite and reliable. The workmanship was excellent and the project was completed on time, on budget and without fuss. The technical director was very closely involved throughout and was very impressive with his depth of knowledge and professionalism. All my questions have been answered promptly and fully. I would recommend this company without hesitation.
