The whole process was made very easy for us with good communication throughout. The scaffold was put up with installation a few days later and scaffold removed very quickly and quietly afterwards.... See more

Overall, this was a long and at times frustrating process. I started the application in August, and it wasn’t completed until mid-March. While the system is now up and running and seems to be performing well so far, getting to that point was not straightforward.
The main issue throughout was poor project management and communication. It took many months to get an installation date and then dates were changed, on a planned install day the engineers didn’t turn up as scheduled. There was the lack of proactive communication — I was left to chase the company myself, only to be told later in the day that the installation wasn’t going ahead. If customers are expected to wait in, they should be informed much earlier if plans change.
The overall impression as a customer is that the business may have taken on too many projects and doesn’t have sufficiently robust processes or systems in place to manage the volume of clients effectively.
The engineers themselves were generally good when they were on-site — polite and capable. However, there were a number of snagging issues due to lack of care and attention which meant they had to return the following week. This extended the overall timeline and resulted in scaffolding being left up longer than expected, which could likely have been avoided with more care during the initial installation.
On one visit, a single engineer was sent with two very heavy batteries. He arrived around 11am and left at about 3pm, completing only part of the work. During that time, he had to move very heavy batteries himself without any lifting equipment, we helped him lift them. He didn’t complain, but it did feel like something that could have been better planned from a welfare and practical point of view.
There were other issues with the survey that impacted the end result, also issues with the quotation.
To be fair to them the company did work to try and rectify an issue when it was raised.
In summary, the end result seems reasonable and hopefully will perform well, but the journey to get there felt quite disorganised.

The whole process, from initial enquiry, through to getting paid for excess electricity, was seamless and effort free. These guys really know what they're doing - it shows in the slickness of their delivery!

Generally everything went well from initial survey to completion. Teams on site were pleasant and efficient. A few minor communication issues between customer and company i.e. not kept informed when various trades arriving on site. Electrician did an excellent job and was very helpful.

Would have got 5 stars but they didn't turn up to fit by 8.30am, the time they'd said, and I had to phone them twice before they finally advised it would be fitted late afternoon.
Battery seems to be working well.

Started the process of getting our Solar panels through Switch Together. We have it installed now and very happy with the service we received, the support and the very competitive costs which were way cheaper than anyone we researched.

We used Surrey’s Solar Tigether (now Switch Together) scheme as a means of reducing costs and having a ‘safe’ supplier. We also had quotes from other Which? Trusted Trader and similar. We managed to play two companies off and ended up with the Switch company, at a slightly even better price. We recommend getting a battery that covers daily consumption - we’re using it and buying what extra we do need at cheap winter overnight rates.

The tradesmen got on with the work well, consulted with me for various reasons, set up my app on my phone and was pleased so far with the outcome.

Solar panels are a big decision and a big financial commitment. Solar switch was completely available at all times, easy to reach with answers and support. We had so many questions and they took their time and resources to explain and then back it up with email resources.
The actual solar panels and battery are excellent. They were installed in February and we didn’t think we would get full use of them until summer but we have had full charge, free electricity and making money from the grid. Plus, it is all GREEN!
