Feeling guilty about my carbon footprint, I was contemplating solar PV. A friend recommended TCL Solar after they installed a system at his house. So I contacted Simon, who came promptly and gave me a quote on the spot. After doing some research and thinking about it for a few days, I decided to go ahead. Two weeks later, on a Friday, Watson Scaffolding turned up and erected scaffolding front and back. Most of the components were also delivered on Friday too. The inverter was missing, so David chased it up and kept me informed of progress. The following Monday the inverter arrived as did two installers from Green Smart. They installed the 14 panel system in a day. They did a very neat job and didn’t leave any mess. The scaffolding was taken down on Tuesday. David did all the paperwork for the necessary permissions and talked me through the process for obtaining payment for exported energy. As a chartered electrical engineer, I was impressed with the quality of the components and the workmanship. It’s too early to report on the performance of the system but, so far, it seems to be working well. Would I use TCL again? Definitely. They were friendly, communicated well and organised a good team to do the installation. It might have been possible to get a cheaper system but the speed and efficiency was worth any extra cost.
