Why Solar PV?

Yes! The UK & Ireland IS suitable for Solar PV.

Solar panels work on daylight (UV), not direct sunlight and there is ample daylight hours to generate a healthy amount of electricity.

On average a 4kW system could potentially generate £600.00* worth of electricity annually.
*price is an approximation, based on a unit price of 18p/kW (100% self consumption), on a 30 degree, south facing roof.*

Future proof your home to rising electricity costs

Lower your carbon footprint

Power your home with green energy

Prices are now more feasible, and we also offer a finance option if preferred. No moving parts, so maintenance and upkeep are minimum.

Afraid you will not get the benefit as you are out all day?

We can help you maximise the potential by;

  • helping to re-educate how you go about your daily tasks
  • we can also install additional items such as
    • an Eddi, to heat your hot water via your immersion heater 
    • or a battery, to store any generated energy not used in the house rather than selling back to the grid.

Therefore, even if you are not home, the system is still working for you!

Heat your water with solar

Priority is always given to the electrical items in the home, if they are not being used, or are less than what the system is producing, then the extra energy (which would normally go back to the grid) would be diverted to the Eddi appliance.

It is not designed to heat your hot water as the immersion does, it is designed to work alongside it. It will give a gradual heat to the water in your tank (depending on the surplus energy your Solar Panels are producing) and so may need to be boosted by the immersion heater, which you can turn on as you would normally, only with the Eddi installed, you can do it via its interface instead.
Think of a pot of water on a low heat, it will be longer to heat than a kettle, but it will gradually get up to temperature.

With an Eddi installed, you are maximizing the usage of all the electricity produced by the PV system, instead of feeding it back to the grid.

Optional information
Supplied and installed £650 + VAT to include the app (hub), or £600 + VAT without the app.

Battery Storage

Can be fitted alongside the installation of PV or retrofitted at a later stage. Most popular is 4.8kWh for a residential property. While it may increase your overall payback on initial outlay, it does ensure you maximize the potential savings on system generation.

Hi allI can recommend Start Solar. It’s a great company to use for your Solar advice and installation.If you have any doubts whether solar panels save you money, take a look at pictures below. Look at our electric bill for July to October last year, and for the same period this year. Big difference! I could hardly believe it myself, but it’s true.

Start Solar made our installation very straightforward and there was only a short time between consultation and installation. Would recommend them to others as they were also very competitively priced.

Decided to investigate solar power . Looked at a few providers but settled on Start Solar. They set very clear expectations on what to expect from solar energy and were very competitive if not the best quote. Great communication throughout the process and installation was within 2 weeks of order. I'm not underestimating the work involved on the installation day but it felt simple and hassle free. No mess no upheaval no fuss. The installation team were friendly and knowledgeable and took the time to explain how it would work they also set up the app for both the main system and EV charger and explained how to use it. I'm a few days in to the system and I have no doubt that Solar is the way to go.Thanks to Andy and the team ..great experience and product.

Great pre-sales experience. Suzie was excellent in answering my questions. With that said, I had to do the work myself to figure out likely payback time. The installation was okay although not particularly tidy. However, support has been really poor. The agent wasn't knowledgeable about how their solution works, and it doesn't seem like anyone monitors the email support judging by my experience. In summary very good presales but post sales is not at all good.

Honestly if anyone is thinking of Solar these are the guys. From start to finish absolutely fantastic. Andrews knowledge is second to none. The guys from Fergal (Solar panel fitter) to Tristian ( the electrician) and his mate's all incredible. We have this installed 1 week and we are already seeing the benefits.I have no hesitation in recommending these guys. 5 star 🌟 🌟 🌟

Start solar did solar panels at my workshop in Co Tyrone. They did a great job from start to finish, the lads were very friendly and showed me how all work before leaving. I will be using start solar again for sure on my next solar project.

Suzie was very responsive and went to great lengths to explane things and answer questions using plain English.The installation team turn up first thing in the morning and commissioned the system by lunch time. The guys are to be commended for their friendly approach, where nothing was too much trouble.

I highly recommend start solar as a excellent company to give business to, there sales representative was very knowledgeable and helpful to the correct requirements needed for our business, and was also very helpful fixing an existing solar system that they did not install and had not been working for over a year, the installation off our new solar system was made very simple and installed at the correct time frame i had asked for, i was provided with the installation managers mobile number and keep updated frequently during the installation.

Very professional through the whole process, from the consulting where everything was explained thoroughly and Suzie was able to answer all our questions and when they came to install the solar panels their workers did a great job. Would definitely recommend anyone looking to get solar panels to go with Start Solar.

Start Solar provided a great service, from the first phone call to installation, The staff were friendly and efficient, no question was left unanswered and the lads took away all the waste and tidied. The installation was swift. There was no pressure put on me to invest from when I first made contact and I liked that when I rang, if the call wasn't answered immediately I got a call back later. I would recommend Start Solar. My bills are down and I have hot water

We had our solar panels installed just over a month ago and we love it! The app is brilliant and helps you plan the best time you use appliances to make the most from your battery and solar power - it also lets you see live how much you are using from the grid so you can turn appliances off to reduce import costs.Start solar made the whole process very easy, and Suzie was brilliant from initial costs etc to installation. I would recommend. Ryan
