MW Solar - Helston

Nick Jones

Mark & his team were recommended to us, and I’m really pleased they were! We already had solar panels installed when we built our home 3yrs ago. However we were building to a strict budget and couldn’t stretch to battery storage at that time. Now we can and Mark came out, explained our options in such a way even I followed what we were being advised! We placed an order the next day and were told it should arrive in approximately 2 weeks time. In reality, Mark fitted us in 11 days later. Ben & Tim did an awesome job, very tidy and professional. The overall cost was less than some people were quoting for just the batteries! I’d highly recommend MW Solar every day of the week. To get tradespeople who actually do what they say and on time is so rare these days. Absolutely brilliant, thanks guys ?.

Having moved to a new home in Cornwall without mains gas in we were shocked by the very high and rapidly rising cost of electricity. Sharp action was needed to mitigate costs and, having little previous knowledge about solar, I initially contacted two national companies to enquire about solar installation. However, few things in life are a bigger “no-brainer” than our decision to eventually run with a totally friendly, reliable and well managed local firm, MW Solar based in Helston. Mark Warden couldn't have been easier to deal with or more professional. He explained everything very clearly, giving various options both in terms of how much solar we needed and how much battery power we could have. Eventually we decided to install 14 solar panels, a Solis 3.6kW Inverter and 2 x 4.8kWh Pylon batteries. The price quote was competitive and the MW Solar team is made up of experts who really care about their clients. The panels were mounted quickly using durable components and methods of anchoring, all properly wired to code, and the ongoing follow up once installed is invaluable.
We now easily monitor our solar system via a mobile phone app that tells us every day how much electricity we have generated and consumed. Added advantage and savings are made during ever darkening days by charging our batteries overnight (4 hours) using off-peak electricity, which is a savings bonus keeping costs down.
The entire process has been smooth, seamless, and convenient from initial meeting with Mark who explained the entire process, to installation and commissioning. We now have a great solar system provided by very professional people who completed the job efficiently, effectively and from start to finish to follow up they have been excellent. Without hesitation we strongly recommend MW Solar to anybody who is considering solar power.

Faultless from start to finish.. From the quote to installation took 3 weeks which far exceeded my expectations.. The install itself took 3 days in the most horrible weather. I asked for the wiring to stay exposed so that I could box them in myself which was done. Bingo... I was producing power, much more than I wanted and that's the reason I had 2 banks of batteries that see's me overnight and most of the morning before the sun hits the panels.
The whole experience was as smooth as it gets, Mark gave me a few pointers on the inverter after the install and I have contacted him several times for advise and has answered after hours so I will give his customer service 10/10.
So in a nut shell MW Solar gets the 10/10 award for the following:- Communication, Customer Service, Cleanliness, Trustworthiness (I left the keys for the house while at work), Goes above and beyond, Value for money... You get where I'm going with this..
I don't know if there are cheaper out there, I did have 3 quotes, MW Solar were cheaper but the reason I went with Mark was the positive verbal reviews I had from my own customers that I see in the plumbing trade.
Just a pointer my last 3 electric bills have all been under £30. Yes Solar is expensive £11.5k for my set up but the way I look at it is that it has probably put £5k on the value of the house so with my calculations at today's climate it will take 5-6 years to pay itself off.
Keep up the excellent work Mark, Jess and the whole team.

MW Solar overall provided excellent service, with an honest consultation about likely performance figures, which meant we could work out expected savings. We decided to get the maximum number of panels on the roof as possible. The install was done in a timely manner, and completed within 3 days, with all aspects completed in a competent and tidy fashion. The system has been performing great with no issues, we are very happy that we decided to commit to a solar installation from MW Solar and would be happy to recommend to anybody.

Solar panels and batteries fitted by Mark Warden, MW Solar Ltd. The whole instillation from scaffold going up to the commissioning of the system was exceptional. Mark and his team were efficient, polite and professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending MW Solar Ltd to anyone wishing to install solar panels.

MW Solar installed a 6kW PV array and 17 kWhs of Battery storage for us. The installation is very neatly done and Mark and his staff were nice to deal with and carried to the installation quickly. Mark helped me set up the App for controlling the kit which is very good. Since installation, the kit has performed without fault. As well as powering the house, the kit runs our electric car, mainly with excess solar from to roof, topped up with cheap rate power from the grid. I can monitor and control all the kit to minimise me energy costs. I would highly recommend MW solar for their advise and installation of solar PV and Battery storage.

After being let down by another company contacted Mark for a quote for solar panels and batteries. Visited within a couple of days, quote within hours which was very acceptable and arrangements for installation within a month. They handled all the required paperwork and kept in touch. The team arrived on time and worked neatly and cleanly and finishing the work within 2 days despite the awful weather. Very approachable for any queries and problems (none so far) . Panels and batteries working better than expected for a wet and overcast November.

Mark and his team recently replaced our inverter and added a new battery to our existing solar system. They were very professional and efficient throughout the installation.

Everything works brilliantly, and we immediately noticed the benefits of having a battery on our electricity bill, and this has continued through the summer and into autumn.

I would highly recommend this local company for its expertise as well as value for money.
