What Our Customers Say
I had Suzie out in April to give me a quote for solar panels after the company did a presentation in my work place. I had been interested for some time but during the presentation it sounded as if it had become more affordable than when I first started looking. Suzie designed a system for us after doing a survey and looking over our electric bill for the year. I opted for 16 panels, inverter, 5kw battery and the Eddi hot water controller. The system was installed at the start of June. The installers were very professional, no wires visible and the system is hidden away. Within just a couple of hours the system was fully functional. I notice that there have been a few miserable days where it didn’t quite cover our electricity usage but most days it covers all of our needs and we also export plenty back to power Ni. Very happy with the system and start solar so far.
Very good professional service.. all completed to schedule and very happy with product
As a respected supplier to the Renewable Energy industry, we are keen to support the sector and the environment as a whole, by making the conscious move towards sustainability where possible within our business and leading by example in the manufacturing industry.
start solar have been a pleasure to deal with from the initial enquiry to the installation of our PV setup they have been professional, prompt and pleasant. Despite my initial scepticism that the installation would only take a day – the team arrived within 5 minutes of the advised time, had the panels mounted on the roof by lunchtime and the system up and running by 4pm!
No hesitation in recommending Andrew and his team if you are looking at solar PV.
Recently installed 22 panels with start solar on a ground mount with an 8kW battery and a zappi car charger. Although we got of to a bad start, some delays initially, due to storms, materials, poor communication back and forth I eventually got through to Ben who quickly sorted the issues and I couldn’t be happier with the system. Deposit paid in December and system installed in March. Because off all the issues I had with the company I got a very healthy discount and a 200 euro donation to a charity of my choosing in Mayo. Guys came and done the work all in one day. All the lads on the ground were sound to deal with, very helpful and I would recommend them to anyone. I’ve been generating high levels and selling back to the grid since March.
Decided to investigate solar power . Looked at a few providers but settled on Start Solar. They set very clear expectations on what to expect from solar energy and were very competitive if not the best quote. Great communication throughout the process and installation was within 2 weeks of order. I’m not underestimating the work involved on the installation day but it felt simple and hassle free. No mess no upheaval no fuss.
The installation team were friendly and knowledgeable and took the time to explain how it would work they also set up the app for both the main system and EV charger and explained how to use it. I’m a few days in to the system and I have no doubt that Solar is the way to go.
Thanks to Andy and the team. Great experience and product.
