4I had a disappointing experience with this solar installation service. The system installed on our roof stopped working within just a few days, which was very frustrating. Based on my experience, the materials used did not seem to be of good quality. I tried reaching out to the owner, Lee, regarding the issue, but the response was not as helpful as I expected. I would recommend others to carefully consider their options before choosing this service.

5Lee provided an excellent service. Full, easily understood estimate. All the work carried out as scheduled and costed. Absolutely delighted with end result, particularly now that we're exporting electricity back to the grid via our solar panels. Am constantly recommending to friends.
Owner's reply
Hi George, thank you so much for the 5-star review! It was a pleasure to handle your full solar panel installation in Margate. We’re particularly glad to hear that the Fox battery and inverter system are performing well and that you're already seeing the benefits of exporting clean energy back to the grid. Providing a clear, no-nonsense estimate is how we ensure our neighbours get the best value without the pushy sales tactics. We truly appreciate you recommending Solec Energy to your friends!

5Excellent service. Fixed the issue with the solar panels and navigated Solar Edge.
Owner's reply
Hi Millenium, thanks so much for the review! I’m glad we could get over to Tonbridge quickly to get your solar panels sorted. Dealing with SolarEdge support is usually a bit of a maze, so I’m happy I could take that off your hands and get the power flowing again. It’s great to see another Kent home back up and running. If you ever need a solar repair or just a quick check-up in the future, just give me a shout. Best, Lee."

5Our solar panel system is 10 years old and we'd no idea why it stopped working suddenly. Amongst the few quotes that we have got, Lee was the only one that could explain the various scenarios which might have caused the issue with potential fixing costs. More importantly, his team had prepared accordingly by bringing the spare parts with them. We really appreciate his swift responses, knowledge as well as his patience with us. His team was also very polite, efficient and professional, helping us to install a new inverter and cleaning the solar panels within an hour. He himself had also followed up the situation for a few days before sending us the bill! We highly recommend Lee and his team for any solar panel maintenance service.
Owner's reply
Thanks so much for the kind words! It was a pleasure helping you get your 10-year-old system back to full health. I always try to look at every possible scenario during the initial chat so that the team and I can arrive with the right spare parts and get the job done in one visit. I’m really glad we could get that new inverter installed and your solar panels cleaned in Tonbridge so quickly for you. As I mentioned, I like to monitor the generation for a few days to make sure everything is 100% stable before I ever send out an invoice. If you need anything else, just give me a shout. Thanks for recommending us for solar maintenance in Kent! — Lee

5Lee and the team installed a "Glow Green" solar system for us recently consisting of two batteries, the inverter and 20 panels across two facings of the roof. Throughout they were friendly, efficient and took a great deal of care to ensure everything was done neatly. They spent a good period of time going through the options of where to place the batteries and inverter when it was revealed the place chosen in the plans wasn't going to work and reassessing where a number of the panels would best fit around the ventilation system which meant the basic roof plan needed some adjustment. Highly recommended and if I need any further work doing I would go directly to them.
Owner's reply
Hi Shaun, thanks for the detailed 5-star review! It was a pleasure working on your 20-panel solar installation. I’m glad we took that extra time at the start to re-map the roof layout around your ventilation and find a better spot for the inverter and twin battery storage. Those adjustments on the day are important to ensure the system actually performs, rather than just sticking to a rigid sales plan. I take a lot of pride in keeping the finish neat, so I'm pleased you're happy with the team’s work. If you ever need a solar service or bird proofing in the future, just give me a shout. Thanks again for the recommendation and for supporting a local Kent business.

5I contacted Lee and the team about moving the inverter for our solar panels, they responded really quickly and gave me a quote on the day I first contacted them. They completed the job withing the week and have done a great job. I couldn't be happier, they will be he first people I contact for any other improvements we need.
Owner's reply
Hi Patrick, thanks so much for the great feedback! I’m really glad the team and I could help with moving your solar inverter for you in Dover. We know how important it is to get these adjustments done quickly, so I'm happy we could get that quote over to you on the same day and have the job completed within the week. It’s always satisfying to get these maintenance tasks sorted so your system works exactly how you need it to. Looking forward to helping you with any other improvements in the future! — Lee

5I had problems with a defunct solar inverter. Very prompt and efficient service . Came next day to install replacement. Reasonable price and excellent communication. Thank you
Owner's reply
Hi Steve, thank you for the feedback! I'm glad I could get out to you so quickly to sort that defunct solar inverter. It’s important to get those systems back up and running fast so you aren't missing out on the generation. As a local Kent installer, I try to keep the most common replacement parts ready so we can provide that next-day service whenever possible. Appreciate you mentioning the fair pricing and communication, it's how I like to run things here at Solec. Thanks again! Lee"

5I cannot recommend Solec Energy and their engineer Lee highly enough. I needed urgent solar panel works completed over a weekend at incredibly short notice due to my house sale. They stepped up immediately, sourced everything needed and had Lee out the same day. Lee was professional, efficient and his communication throughout was excellent, keeping me updated every step of the way. Pricing was also extremely competitive given the urgency. Lee genuinely saved the day for us. Thank you
Owner's reply
Hi Paul, thanks so much for the 5-star review! I know how stressful a house sale can be, especially with a deadline looming, so I was more than happy to get out there over the weekend to get those solar works sorted for you.At Solec Energy, we try to stay as flexible as possible for our Kent neighbours when an emergency crops up. It was a pleasure helping you get everything ready for the new owners. Best of luck with the move! Lee"
