Spectra solar ltd Reviews 16

100% recommended.
from first contact with Jonathan to discuss my options of upgrading my current solar system with complementary batteries to the install today from Liam, I can't fault them!!
Jonathan is always available to discuss and help with any questions or queries ad Liam and his buddy did a great job installing them today, left the area clean and tidy and explained the work he'd done.
Wouldn't hesitate in recommending Spectra Solar to anyone looking to help reduce your energy costs. 👏

We got installation July 2025. Fromt the start they approachable, friendly and professional. During the planning phase i had several questions which were answered quickly and professionally. I also made several tweaks to my installation each time the changes were done quickly anda new plan created.
The installation went very smoothly. All done in one day leaving no mess.
After sales was also exceptional. I had a little issue with the setup. I got a recently released gateway which seemed to cause high power draw. Spectra were right on it working with Hanchu, the manufacturer, and the issue was discovered and sorted remotely in a couple of days.
Overall i cant find fault with the whole process. Even nitpicking I cant think of anything.

Comprehensive quote provided, lots of questions answered by the company. no pressure selling just providing guidance. Once agreed everything fitted as agreed, team turned up fitted system, fitters explained how to use app and checked everything was ok and I was happy with the install which is very tidy, prior to leaving.
I had lots of quotes and trying to pick the right company, 4 weeks in and very happy so far. Certainly wouldn’t hesitate to recommend based on my experience.

If you’re reading this because you’re on the fence choosing a solar installer, then stop searching; these are the guys to use!

I’m a bit of a geek about this stuff. So I did plenty of shopping around, and this is what I found:
-- Some installers talked a good talk, but were also very expensive and pushy.
-- Some were competitively priced, but I wouldn’t trust them with my property.
-- Spectra came to me as a recommendation, which I’m glad I listened to!

Spectra provided decent kit, at a competitive price. But perhaps the most important to me, was that they were 10/10 knowledgeable, trustworthy and professional...
With an investment like this, you won’t find a better service!

I got a 7kW inverter, 10kW battery, 18 panels and a manual-changeover switch… It’s been performing very well!

Before installation:
-- Spectra did a great job of helping me choose the best kit to suit my property and budget.
-- They were very knowledgeable and patient in answering all of my questions / concerns.

During installation:
-- The roofers did a great, tidy job of the panel installation and cabling.
-- The electricians did a great job of the inverter, battery & changeover installation, keeping it all neat and tidy.

After installation:
-- They continued to help me with the paperwork and make sure the app / monitoring is working smoothly.

Thank you!

We have had our solar and batteries for about a year now and in the last few months had an air source heat pump fitted by Spectra Solar Ltd.

The communication, standard of work and expertise has been fantastic. No question was a silly one and they are very knowledgeable. They were happy to work alongside my husband (ASHP) as he is a plumber.

Our energy bills are now non-existent as the export we made during 3/4 of the year paid for energy use during the winter plus we are still in credit going into 2025 season. We pay Octopus £1 a month direct debit as a token gesture.

Would we do it again? Would we choose Spectra? That’s a big yes to both - without doubt

Had additional battery capacity installed . The electrician arrived on time and completed the job . Had a minor snag with some plaster , the company came out promptly and resolved the matter . I have no hesitation in recommending Spectra . My system has worked without any issues . I find it very reassuring that if I do have any issues I can make a call and I will get prompt, friendly and helpful advice .

I have just had solar panels and battery fitted by Spectra solar and can say that they have been totally professional, informative and friendly people. The job was completed in a day and has been up and running smoothly. I have contacted the customer service team for some advice and was given exactly what i needed , they were extremely helpful. All in all from the lads on the ground to the office staff and management this is a company I would highly recommend. Thank you.

The advice was excellent and they only sold me what I needed and were very good at judging what would be correct for my house .

Pre and post comms were excellent

Install team were excellent

Everything was easy

Spectra Solar installed a 9 panel PV system, inverter, 2x 3.6kw batteries and an iBoost (to help heat the hot water tank) on my house back in February this year. Having had another company install some on my business premises about a year ago, who were let's say, less than perfect, I can absolutely recommend these guys, they were 100% spot on from start to finish! - Their quote was £3k less than an other very well known company, the installation could not have gone more smoothly and the system, now it's up and running, simply could not be better. My total electric consumption since having new smart meters installed in mid March to now (mid May) is just £4.71 (not including standing charge), then I've had about £30 worth of credits for exports to the grid so far... And, my gas usage has gone down dramatically as the PV system is mostly heating my hot water tank. Spectra Solar, sorry it's taken me so long to write this as I promised, but you simply could not have done a better job and the price was well worth it. Thank you! (And I'd just like to add, for those that bemoan the payback time, who cares - it adds value to your house AND you start saving money, and the planet, straight away! 😊)

First Class and Fast Service. They go the extra mile. Very reasonable price too. We’re highly impressed. The engineer has got to be the best by a mile. He was highly efficient, helpful and knowledgeable. We highly recommend their services.

Got my quote from spectre then was left alone to decide. Other quotes kept phoning me and they were all asking for money up front.
Spectre said you pay nothing till fully installed and working.
Jonathan was wonderful answered all my questions and even now a year later he still has time to help me.
Solar panels? Best thing I ever did
Spectre? Best and most efficient company who do not employ sales staff

We had a replacement inverter and consumer unit from spectra solar following a report they did for us. They actually turned up early and got the job done. I can’t find any fault with them so thank you guys.

I've had my 7kw, 18 panel solar installation with a 4.8kw battery and solar iboost for my hot water tank for a year now.
Firstly, I chose Spectra Solar as they were so helpful and got back to me with any queries or questions I had.
Their pricing was excellent in comparison to others with no pressure to sign up at all as they aren't sales people, just very helpful.
My bills for both gas and electricity in 2021/22 were about £1,400 before the panels were installed.
After the installation and for the year 2022/23 they have been £1,825, bearing in mind I would of paid about £2,800 (estimated, but could easily be higher), especially as the daily charge has gone up so much (about £200 for the year) as well as the cost of the electricity and gas.
I include gas as the iboost helps to heat my hot water tank instead of the gas boiler, so I save on some gas.
I will be getting a cheque back from what I've exported of £400 from Eon as they are now paying 16.5 pence per Kw/H.
Therefore, I calculate I've saved about £1,375 in the first year, which I'm very happy with.
I would highly recommend Spectra Solar.

Had a new inverter fitted by this company which then started to trip the rcd on several occasions and cut off the electric to the garage. Despite this being an electrical fault and not an issue caused by the inverter Mike was determined to identify the problem so that the new inverter was fit for purpose. His dedication and professionalism is a credit to himself and the company and deserves far more than my extended gratitude.
A company highly recommended for a professional, quality service with a fierce dedication to customer satisfaction.

Really impressed with Spectra. Knowledgeable and helpful where needed. Competitively priced and workmanship was good. They were fast at sorting out the documentation and helped when I asked for support when my Smart meters were fitted post install. I would recommend to anyone.
