Hear from our Happy Customers

  • South West Solar installed my solar panels a week ago and I'm delighted with them. I have so much hot water and I'm selling electricity back to the grid. The service was excellent, all done in one day and very efficient. They made the whole process very easy, getting the grant etc. I would recommend this company to anyone who is thinking about getting solar panels.

  • We are delighted with the panels and have been watching the app all day, busy day here and still no draw from the grid and a tank of hot water. Thanks again, your lads are a pleasure to have here.

    Olive

  • I recently had solar panels installed by South West Solar, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. John was not only friendly and knowledgeable but also incredibly meticulous about keeping the workspace tidy. We also got the EV charger and battery storage fitted. I highly recommend their services for anyone looking for solar panels!
