Techfor Energy - Guildford

James Money

Glenn and his team did a great job designing, procuring and installing our solar PV system, complete with battery storage and hot water. We are now using only around 10% peak time electricity with the rest either direct from the solar panels or the cheaper overnight rate. We are very happy!

MY JOURNEY INTO SOLAR POWER
WOW!
Best thing I ever did was phoning Tech4energy and speaking with the owner, Glenn.
I made an initial appointment and Glenn visited promptly and carried out a full survey of my home’s potential for Solar Panels. The survey was extremely comprehensive and the following week I received a very detailed report with options and the relevant costings. This report extended to over 30 pages in total. Glenn was available at the end of the phone to answer my various queries and no question was left unanswered.
Glenn suggested that, for peace of mind, I apply for planning permission as some of the panels were to be installed on a flat roof and would not come within “Permitted Development .” At no time did I feel pressured to adhere to Glenn’s advice but I took his advice and duly gained planning approval. Glenn also advised that I switch electric supplier and Glenn arranged that I obtained a £50 introductory discount.
Day of installation arrived and everything went extremely smoothly and to plan. The guys installing were extremely neat and tidy and everything was completely cleared up at the end of each day. On the 3rd day in the afternoon the Solar Panels went “Live”.
I had a battery installed and also an Electric Vehicle charge point. Both were additions suggested by Glenn and have proved to be invaluable. The battery stores up power during the day and I am now virtually running my home on Solar power. I have purchased an electric vehicle and a full charge costs approximately £7.50 - on overnight cheap rate! And the added bonus of no queueing at Petrol stations for ridiculously expensive fuel.
I’m also now using my Tumble Dryer regularly - previously a once in a blue moon luxury. This “luxury” costs nothing and runs off my battery or off the Solar depending on time of day that it’s in use.
I cannot thank Glenn and his Company enough for the quality of my installation. My electric bill is now minimal and I am no longer afraid to use my electric appliances. My quality of life is so much improved and I just wish I’d switched to Solar Power sooner.
If you are hesitant about making the decision to install Solar Panels please be assured it’s a win-win decision with this company I haven’t looked back.
THANKS AGAIN Tech4energy

Glenn and his team provide an excellent service. Glenn is clearly exceptionally knowledgeable and pays attention to the details. He supports you all the way. His team installed our panels in December and added a second Tesla battery this summer. Glenn monitors and continues to advise us on how best to fine tune our electricity consumption to get the best out of our solar panel system. Our bills have dropped dramatically. I would highly recommend Techfor Energy. I don't think you will find a better company for solar panels.

At the end of 2023 Techfor Energy installed 8 additional solar panels, a Tesla battery and a car charger at our property. Initially, I was mostly interested in a battery, but Glenn pointed out that I had space on a SE facing roof which could take additional solar panels to make us even more grid independent. I was very reluctant to let anyone onto our new roof, having had a bad experience with the company which installed the first solar array. However, Genn told me how meticulously he trains his roofers and how he ensures that nothing is damaged in the process. His team of scaffolders, roofers and electricians were very competent, polite and left the sites (roof, garage, driveway) spotless.
Almost a year later, I am happy to report that we have been 100% self-powered (Tesla speak for not using any electricity from the grid) between the 17th of March and the 7th of September this year. Even in gloomy January we were 45% self-powered.
Besides feeling smug about saving the planet and being grid independent, I am sure that electricity prices will inevitably go up even more to pay for the energy transition (increasing capacity of the grid, etc.) and that blackouts might become more common once net-zero forces everyone onto the grid.
I highly recommend Techfor Energy and appreciate Glenn’s continued advice regarding most cost-efficient tariffs.

Our recent solar upgrade to add extra panels and a Tesla battery to our system originally designed and installed by Techfor Energy a couple of years previously was once again a very professional job.
From the initial assessment which took a number of hours, to the final commissioning, great care and attention to detail was evident from the whole team. The work was carried out over the period specified and exactly for the quoted cost.

The Increased generation capacity and battery have allowed us to run an EV and power the house for free over the first month of use. We have exported more energy than we have used on sunny days. We are very pleased with the outcome.

I chose Techfor Energy initially as they were a Which magazine trusted trader, Checkatrade listed and MCS certified.

We had a faultless solar panel fitting a few years ago from Techfor, and now added a battery with them which looks like it'll mean we will run on free solar or cheap night-time electricity for 90% of the year. Great service, great knowledge and perfect installation.

A great service, Glenn is an expert in the field but can explain options well, he was great in helping set up the individuals apps so that they operate well together and always available to answer follow up questions. Installation was very efficient with no issues.

I fitted my first solar and Tesla battery system back in 2018. I was sufficiently impressed with the survey, installation and after sales service and support that I received from Techfor Energy - I fitting a second system a year later at another property.
The second system was at my home address and with the purchase of a fully electric car I achieve extra benefit when surplus energy produced goes to charging the car. Now that is what I call saving the planet.
Now six years on from the first installation, I still get fast and helpful advise from the Techfor Energy team whenever I have a question. That type of aftercare service is hard to find these days.
