Really happy with the solar system install by solar home and its performance. From property survey to multiple back and forth to select the right configuration for our needs Sean and the Solar home team was really helpful. Really happy with the REC panels and alpha ESS system. Professional and tidy install by Colm and the team. Timely processing of the grants and systems handover by Catherine and team. Would highly recomend Solar home.
Having considered Solar PV for my house a couple of times in the past this time the difference which made me go ahead was the fact that you can now sell back to the grid. Once we decided to go for it I asked 3 companies to provide a quote. The first company called out done a quick site inspection and provided an estimate before leaving. The second company also called promptly and did a site survey but took a week longer to quote and weren't any better value. The third was Solar Home and it was a different level of service. First within an hour of filling out an enquiry form on their website I received a call back. During the call the salesperson had Google maps open and used it to ascertain what direction my roof surfaces were oriented toward (very important for solar) and also worked out roughly how many panels could be accommodated. From this he could already give me a rough quote, and also arranged a technical visit for the following morning. The site visit ended in a refined quote based on our usage of electric, our options for panel and battery placement, and possible combinations that would help make the most of our potential for solar generation. This visit was concluded with a very competitive quote that was actually cheaper than both competitors and would provide a higher number of panels with a higher output per panel, and roughly double the battery capacity (which has already begun to pay off on cloudy days and allowed me to buy at night rates sell at higher day rates to the grid, arbitrage). Once I decided to go ahead I was installed within a few weeks with no delays on the process for the grant. The install was very low hassle. We were given a comprehensive walk through of the app to control and monitor the system. And since the install I have had a very helpful call with one of the technical team in the office which really helped me to understand how to get the most out of the system. But what everyone really wants to know is how is it performing. Well we received our first bill the solar was in for 6 out of the 8 weeks and 70% of the bill was standing charges, levy's, and VAT. Overall the bill was tiny. Given we run an electric car, all our heating (air to water heat pump), and everything you'd expect of a busy 4 person household. 95% of the 6 weeks was essentially cost free from a unit charge perspective. And had I leveraged the tech team members knowledge a little sooner I could have probably pushed it to 100%.
I was very happy with the solar panels installation, by Solarhome. They supplied all the information needed in advance, Inc system details and an accurate quotation. The installation arrived on the appointed date and time, and was up and running in the one day. The installation work was neat and tidy and done to a high standard. Follow-up was excellent also, to ensure we had everything in order to get our grant. Start to finish an excellent experience....... The system works away silently, without any issues and my electricity bill has reduced substantially.....
Great service, right from initial meeting with Shane to install by Colm and team and follow-up with documents currently being provided for our SEAI grant application. This was a retrofit on the roof of our family home - a very neat job including the panels and battery system. In the 2 weeks since the install, with mixed weather, we are over 60% self sufficient for electricity!
We have had a solar system from Solar Home Ireland Ltd. installed for a year now and have had no issues. The install was very neat and tidy and I have recommended Shane and Colm's service to others many times. Our 4.2 kW system has produced 4.3 kWh hours in that year and we are looking forward to many more years of solar PV power.
