Installation of 16 Solar PV Panels and all associated wiring

I rang Andy from Dorset Solar Power to request a quotation for Solar PV. He came round the very next evening to discuss the installation, even though he had been working all day, and explained all the facts about Solar PV and answered any questions I had. Andy is a really friendly, genuine guy and I had absolutely no hesitation in accepting his quotation. Andy kept me fully updated regarding stock availability and work commenced on the date advised. Andy and Wayne - another friendly and totally genuine guy, who is also a qualified electrician, were both totally reliable and worked very hard over two days in order to complete the job. I am so pleased with the entire installation, and would have no hesitation in recommending Dorset Solar Power to anyone, not just for Solar, but for anything electrical.

Installation of solar panels

Andy and his crew are very professional and I am impressed with the quality of their work. Andy gives sound advice, without the hard sell that you get nowadays with a lot of companies. I would highly recommend them to anybody considering a solar panel installation.

Electrical installation of solar panels and inverter unit

Andy and Wayne could not have been more patient and helpful, working in far from ideal conditions in an older house with some cramped corners. They took great trouble to think through the way they could install the wiring with minimal intrusion into existing decor. They stayed late (after 6.30 p.M.), patiently explaining the system purchased and left everything in good order. Highly recommended.

Installation of Consumer Unit and miscellaneous small electrics

Andy was courteous, helpful, popping round to assess the work to be done before quoting, he spent the time necessary to fully understand what we needed doing. The price was competitive so we proceeded with him. When the work was carried out further faults were discovered with the existing installation which he investigated fully but charged very competitively for. I would not hesitate to use him again for any electrical work and he will be doing further work when I rearrange my kitchen.
