Start Solar Reviews 116

Very impressed with Start Solars installation from start to finish. Their sales team took the time to call with me to discuss my requirements and to recommend a couple of different solutions. Their installation team turned up at the appointed time, they went over and above to make sure my cables were well hidden and tidied up after them.
Their customer care team dealt with a frustrating problem I was having with the software side of the installation, liaising with the supplier to resolve the issue.
The installation is very neat and is working well, I have already seen a significant drop in my electric bill despite there not being a lot of sun.
I have no hesitation in recommending this company for your solar needs.

They were supposed to bring down extra panel but didn't and left a big gap on the roof. The team blamed office, office blamed team. Office tried to blame imaginary regulations for not finishing the job. This is the Irish branch btw, the system works great but the service is woeful.

Used the Irish company to install 14 panels - over 2 roofs. All done in 5 hours including Zappi car charger and Eddi. System working very well - very happy. We did have a Zappi issue but Start Solar sorted within a couple of days - software needed updating.

Useless company. We paid a sizeable deposit for south facing ground mounted panels plus two battery storage.

They were on the ground with not enough height or elevation to catch the eastern morning sun or the full southern sun. Produced no power. Removed and they attempted to build a metal frame work installing the load bearing posts with “postcrete” even the website states this is not suitable for load bearing. I protested about the cheap quick fix being used and was subjected to abuse by their “fitters”. They were told to get off the land and the English manager came and removed the already installed batteries and electrics.

Despite my complaint that load bearing posts should be encased in concrete he disagreed and they are probably still using this unsafe product designed to quickly hold up wooden fence posts.

God help any customers who will find their ground mounted panels sinking or collapsing in the future.

The communication from start solar was excellent with phonecalls to confirm times and dates. The people who came to install were friendly and professional. Our power wall was installed efficiently and on time.

From start to finish a great experience, the communication with this company is easy and everyone is very responsive.

The installation team is brilliant and left everything very clean and neat.

very impressed - from word go Start solar done what they said they would and did it very well. Suzie that sold it was great then Nicholas and son fitted the solar panels and Tristan and Ryan wired it all they where all very pleasant and helpful and done a very tidy job - thank you so much!

What an amazing experience from start to finish with this superb company Start Solar. Everything explained correctly with excellent customer service, before and after. The fitters were extremely professional and lovely people to work with, along with the office staff. The app is really good too. This company go beyond to make you feel at ease, have a great understanding of your needs. No pressure, no hard selling, overall fantastic experience and I’m extremely happy. Thank you Start Solar .

It is 1.5 years since Start Solar installed my system. This investment was a big decision to make & I wanted to have all knowledge before reviewing.
The quality of the equipment n workmanship is excellent. The staff are most approachable n diligent. In my experience Start Solar is a 5* company, deal with them.

Fantastic installation and post sales support for a 6kw solar installation. I would highly recommend start solar

We had enquired about solar panels and looked up information on the Internet but it wasn't until our son told us about Start Solar that we received the knowledge to go ahead with installation. Darren is a very courteous and first class salesman but with no high pressure sales. He simplified the whole process and explained everything. The two roofers and two electricians came on the appointed date and carried out the work with great dexterity. They were very helpful and courteous and finished the job quickly.

We are more than happy with the 4kWp panels installed in late May and our electricity bill is greatly reduced already. The office staff were very efficient and helpful in every respect. We could not recommend Start Solar highly enough from Start to finish!

8am on the dot to start job, worked all day with no break. Explained the system to me and left with everything working perfectly. Thank you

To all at Start Solar and potential customers - a truly professional experience from start to finish.
From initial contact and site survey to installation day to document handover.

Everyone we had contact with were polite, professional and curteous which made the whole process
a lot less complicated than we had originally imagined.

Very professional company, no hard sell but sound advise. Our first bill was for the standing charge only so we effectively got free electricity and hot water since installation. Highly recommended.

Great company to deal with. Installation was quick and easy. Delighted with the outcome.

We had a very smooth and painless experience all the way from getting the quote till installation complete. They have a very capable and helpful sales and technical team for quick responses to my questions and asks. I am delighted that we chose to go with Start solar than anyone else we took the quote from. They offered the best commercial and technical proposals along with service offerings. I would strongly recommend them for all the domestic PV requirements. Good luck and all the best.

Installed more that a year ago on the agreed day by skilled staff with no disruption to household.
A small teething issue was quickly resolved.
Approx. 1.3 times annual electricity consumption in first year (16 panels installed). Regular charging of EV car and no electricity bills to pay for the last year.
I would definitely recommend them.

I got a 5.6kw system installed and is working fantastic. I also got them to put a 4kw system for a second house I have rented out and that system also works perfectly

I am very happy with the 6.4 KW solar system installed by Start Solar. We also had a 2.4 KW battery and an Eddi installed. A few months later, Donal did a great job installing a Zappy unit as we were thinking of getting an EV and wanted to avail of the grant while available.
Margaret and Fiona were very friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. They also helped with all the paperwork needed for the SEAI grant application for the system.
The complete installation took just one day and was tidy and neat. We did experience a problem with the inverter fan this summer which we reported. Margaret promptly organised a resolution of the issue which entailed Donal fitting a replacement component. It is working fine since.
It's very satisfying to see on the Solis App provided, how much energy we are saving and how much green energy we are putting back into the grid and getting paid for it.
I am delighted that we selected Start Solar to undertake this project for us as they have a good team, service and products. I can highly recommend Start Solar.

Great company to deal with from the first visit to the final installation. Really happy with my panels, Eddie water heating and batteries. Saving money already and thinking of adding a ev charger soon .
