    12x Solar Panels and Battery

    Posted 16 May 2024

    I started my solar journey with Andy Martin at Skylar Solar and he is the most knowledgeable and helpful guy I’ve ever worked with. He was so patient and answered every question I could think of and came up with several configuration ideas that other companies wouldn’t even consider. I got several other companies to quote me and they just didn’t impress me like Andy did! In the end went with 6 panels on the east and west sides of the house so generating power throughout the day! He recommended the Sigenergy 5 in 1 unit & it’s a truly amazing machine! It’s extremely neat and tidy with great App

    Solar panels and batteries

    Posted 31 July 2023

    A real pleasure to deal with everyone from Skylar Solar. After agreeing the system and price I was contacted by Devon to arrange convenient time to carryout survey the guys that turned up were very friendly and helpful. Devon then contacted me to arrange a convenient date to have scaffolding erected again both guys were very friendly and 2 days later Luke and Lewis arrived and installed the 16 Hyundai panels, Growatt hybrid inverter and 3 x 3.3kw Growatt batteries within the day they done a great job and left my house clean and tidy and removed all the packaging. I would strongly recommend Skyl

    Great company - really organised and friendly admin team; quick, efficient, respectful engineers. There were some unforeseen difficulties beyond anyone's control, and Skylar handled this really well.

    Installing solar panels and battery

    Posted 09 February 2023

    System that was installed has been fantastic. That's the only good thing. Extremely poor/lack of coms. Had tradesmen arrive on property without our knowledge, 2 times no-one even showed up for the appointment, bird guard was forgotten off the order, weren't shown plans of panels which resulted in scaffolding being erected incorrectly as well as the number of panels they quoted being less. Signed off all electrical work as completed and safe when by chance we found they hadn't even wired the earth cable, came back but with no tool and loosely screwed it in. Was quoted 1 day install, it took 7 days.

    Solar panel, battery, inverter

    Posted 25 January 2023

    Can not praise this company enough. I had a few issues, they were so accommodating and friendly. Nothing seemed too much. I did read other reviews from other companies and after care has been a big issue. I strongly recommend Skylar. They do not ask for payment until you are happy. Amazing in this day and age. Brilliant company.
