Solar-rise did an excellent job installing our PV in 2019, and we asked them back to complete a slightly unusual battery installation in 2025. They gave excellent advice and worked with us to come up with solutions that worked for our space.Verified reviewerJob location: BN710 Friendly small local business. Efficient and committed to doing a good job.

They were friendly from the start, spent time to explain how it would all work and answer questions The work was completed efficiently, they came when they said they would and kept us informed of the process When it was done they made sure we were hooked up to our energy company so we could export power to the grid, this was really difficult to fathom so Steve’s help with this was invaluable. I would highly recommend. They did a great job and we are happy with the resultsVerified reviewerJob location: BN110 Great personal service, experienced team.

We were really happy to have this small team fit a solar panel system to our house. They are a small local company that we really feel able to trust and give a very individualised service. They were are to cater really flexibly to design what we wanted and were able to problem-solve ahead of any obstacles. As a small team we felt really comfortable with them working in our house, and have no doubt about their expertise and experience. Their price was really good compared to other quotes. Although it is still winter our system is up and running a looks effective!Verified reviewerJob location: BN110 Would highly recommend
