Well i only had this quote on thursday from spirit solar, will you share the name of the company you have gone with?

Is there some embargo regarding naming companies?. I have asked a couple of times if certain users would share the name of the company they have been quoted from and so far no one has replied, I have stated the company names of quotes i have received so either it isn;t allowed or maybe theirs were not genuine quotes.

I agree. I have also asked same question. My quote was from Solar Style if that helps anyone. Not sure why other posters make claims but then won't supply names of companies.....

Does anyone have any actual experience of business with Solar style ltd, Gamston, cannot find any info on the company which is only few months old.

That was why I posted the original question. They seem genuine enough, but I would like to have confirmation from someone who has dealt with them.

I have actually cancelled my contract with them as they could not answer my questions to my satisfaction, so will anyone recommend a verifiable company for a 4kw ish system?

I live in cotgrave just out side nottingham and had my system fitted last Friday I was more than happy with the set up they checked for shadows and gave me answers to all my questions ,I had the more expensive panels it was my choice after reading different reviews on different forums. They are called carbon legacy and I think they are in east leake

If it helps I have Eco-Kinetics coming out for a quote next week. Not sure if you are still interested in them, but they are very cheap.

I have also had quotes from the Mark Group and Evo Energy. Very professional but more expensive.

I got quotes from Evo Energy (too expensive), TECG (way too expensive), Finesse-Energy (good professional quote, not too pricey), Allen Electrical (literally half a mile from me and the quote I went with in the end), GM-Renewables (again, very good professional quote), Karlton Energy (very new company) and Tescos (cheapest quote).

The 3 best quotes in terms of listening to my requirements and designing a system accordingly were from Allen Electrical, Finesse-Energy and GM-Renewables. The others were very inflexible in that "this is our offering, take it or leave it" - hence i left them!
