Sol Viva

I highly recommend Sol Viva to anyone considering solar. I don’t know much about solar, but John patiently explained everything, answered all my questions, and always gave honest advice. What impressed me most was John’s efficiency and professionalism. He worked seamlessly with the installer, coordinated every step of the project, kept me updated throughout, and made what could have been a complicated process feel incredibly smooth and stress-free. This has been by far the most efficient and well-managed home improvement project I’ve had since moving to Portugal.

I've had an interest in solar for quite some time. Coming from an IT background, I usually lean toward DIY, but a full-scale home solar installation was outside my comfort zone. The gear is far too expensive to risk on a learning curve, and navigating the local market to find qualified technicians as a non-native is tough. After being ghosted by an installer that a friend had recommended, I found John. He actually listened to my requirements and tailored a custom system built around grid resilience and maximizing my home's potential. John managed the installers, fielded my questions, and handled any concerns directly. Construction and utility projects in Portugal are notorious for dragging on, but John kept the momentum going and ensured the solution was delivered quickly. He took the anxiety out of a major investment. I highly recommend him.

We recently had a solar plus battery storage system installed at our home and we could not be happier. From the very beginning, Sol Viva made the whole process simple and clear. They took the time to analyse and understand our energy usage, explain the best system size for our home, and guide us through the options without any pressure or confusing technical jargon. The installation itself was quick, smooth and professional. The team arrived on time, worked efficiently, and left everything neat and tidy. The finished system looks great. Having the battery means we can store our solar power and use more of it in the evening, which gives us much more control over our electricity costs. Sol Viva were always available to answer questions, made sure we understood how the system works once it was installed, and managed the official registration process on our behalf. An excellent service from start to finish, highly recommended. Brian Davey, Alcabideche.

We’ve just had a solar, battery, and EV charging system installed at our home in São Domingos de Rana, and we honestly could not have asked for a better experience with Sol Viva. From the very beginning, they were responsive, professional, patient, and genuinely supportive. They took the time to understand what we needed, answered all of our questions clearly, and helped us find the right solution without ever making the process feel complicated or stressful. We would absolutely recommend Sol Viva to anyone considering solar. A great team and an outstanding service from start to finish. — Naila and Gerhard, São Domingos de Rana
