Recent Reviews about The Solar People
Trustpilot
View on TrustpilotReview Summary for The Solar People
The Solar People are frequently praised by customers for their exceptional communication, technical expertise, and professional installations, often highlighting the detailed explanations from "Andy" (presumably Andrew Duffin, the Director) and the tidy, efficient work of their installation teams. Customers consistently commend the clear, pressure-free sales process, the quality of Enphase equipment, and responsive after-sales support, even for those located nationally, far from their South Yorkshire base. The most significant problem identified, though appearing rarely within this dataset, is around installation delays and communication breakdowns regarding scheduling, with one instance of an 8-month wait and a delayed refund, suggesting potential issues with managing demand or logistical challenges at times. The company appears best suited for customers seeking a comprehensive Enphase solar and battery system installation, including those with existing solar arrays looking to add battery storage, and even those with complex setups or requiring detailed technical explanations. Before ordering, customers should clarify realistic installation timelines and ensure a clear communication plan is established, especially given the company's national reach, to mitigate against potential scheduling disappointments experienced by some.
Reviews we've extracted from review platforms, sorted by date
Very Impressed from start to finish, price, equipment, communication, workmanship. I will be recommending. Life changer with efficiencies and cost savings
The Solar People are an excellent company. We had been thinking about installing solar panels and batteries for over a year. We were intending to use a local company. However, friends recommended Andy and his team who install solar systems nationally. Before taking the plunge, Andy was incredibly approachable. He answered our many questions with patience and impressive technical expertise.Tom was instructed to install our setup of solar panels and Enphase batteries. He was amazing. Before the installation, he visited our home to assess the roof and location of our batteries. During the installation he exhibited great technical knowledge and he is also has a delightful and respectful personality. We are very happy with the workmanship, solar panel and Enphase batteries. The associated Enphase App is easy to use and allows us to monitor and control the system remotely.Our system was installed some months ago. The after sales service from Andy and Tom has been exemplary, despite the distance between us in Hampshire and The Solar People HQ.Without question, I would highly recommend The Solar People to anybody who is considering a solar installation.
After speaking with Andrew I agreed to progress with installing my solar system,everything has gone smoothly from installation to back up assistance. Scaffolding and installation were prompt and on time everything was clean and tidy, both roofers, electrician and scaffolders were very efficient and respectful of my property. I would recommend us this company for further installations.
Started procedure at beginning October, all complete by the end of October. All queries were answered and with satisfactory explanations. During the whole experience there was no pressure thus removing any stress (treat others as you would want to be treated). Installation was very quick even in the pouring rain. The professionalism shown by installation staff is a credit to The Solar People. Finally, despite this being a serious undertaking a sense of humour was always present. Enjoyed doing business with The Solar People.
Excellent install of 20kWh battery system. The Solar People are based in South Yorkshire, but they were happy to travel down to the South Coast. We chose them since they are Platinum Installers for Enphase and they lived up to their reputation.
