Hi Guys.
Received a telephone call today from above named company in regards to a system check on my solar panels . Has anyone else had any correspondence from these guys ?. They told me that they are now in charge of all maintenance as my installation company went bust . I’ve had no official information regarding this and this makes me slightly uneasy about the situation. Cheers Paul.

    I would say it's almost certainly a waste of money, and could be a scam. I get these calls myself from time to time. Don't speak to them, just hang up.

    Has your installation company ever been to ‘maintain’ your panels?  
    My panels are currently undergoing the only maintenance they get, or have ever had for the past 7 years, as it’s pouring down here so they are on a wash cycle. Best you ignore these charlatans and keep your money.

    Hi

    I try ...   https://www.gov.uk/get-information-about-a-company   .............

    and maybe your installer has fallen by the wayside, but Flo Energy Solar lack credentials.
    Forum, Agin 'em or Just Neutral?

    Assuming the company is floenergy.info, they don't include any geographic address on their website.  Checkatrade says they're based in Hoddesden but they use a virtual 020 number (which could be anywhere).  Google says that some search results for the only name listed at Companies House have been removed.
    Doesn't exactly inspire confidence for a company that says it covers all areas of the UK !
