Evo were very fast and efficient at each part of the installation process - providing a (competitive) quote, the detailed design, and then the actual installation and completion. They took ownership of the whole project, and checked that subcontracted aspects ( installation/ removal of scaffolding) were completed to our satisfaction. Several months after installation, our neighbour was up a ladder, and spotted a couple of cracked tiles on our roof which were not visible from the ground, but can only have been caused by the solar panel installation. Evo did not quibble at all in sending someone out to replace these. I was very impressed with this follow on service - they clearly do not "install and forget".

Our system was installed three years ago and has worked perfectly without any attention.You were recommended by our neighbour, a skilled engineer who had installed his own system. He said you and your equipment were the best and we were delighted with the efficiency of your service Recently our friends Harry and Rowena installed evoenergy and put forward our name for having made the recommendation. I was dubious that I would receive any reward but when I rang in I was treated with your usual courtesy, pleasant service and efficiency. I have received my cheque this morning. We are going holiday with our friends in February and the £250 has gone into our drinks kitty. We will be drinking to your fine company PS Harry and Rowena were also delighted and completely satisfied with everything

The only problem with the system is that it is generating too well. I need a new electricity meter. The current reading is lower than 6 months ago. The panels are working very well in the summer months. Installation was very smooth and done in a day. Very happy with my first cheque for the feed in tariff

The staff were very knowledgeable, friendly & obviously had pride & passion in what they were doing. All of the information I requested was answered & made very clear in a timely & very efficient way. All timelines were met, the install was very quick, neat & tidy & the roofers even repaired a gutter that had been damaged by the high winds. I could not fault them at all.

The EvoEnergy consultant was very knowledgable - bit of a solar geek actually! - so I felt I had all the information given without pressure. Speedy return of information via email and full assistance with all the paper work. After sales were great - again, quick to respond to my queries. We are now enjoying not paying any bills for electricity!!! and it feels great knowing we're doing our little bit to help the environment. Kids are much more conscious of switching off lights and tellies and stuff. Brilliant!

I was highly impressed by Evoenergy's sales executive Ross Wolhutter who was very knowledgeable and not at all pushy. He clearly pointed out the limitations of our roof and the reduced output we could expect from a less than ideal roof aspect. He was prepared to negotiate on both price and extra equipment at no extra cost. The installation team were very professional and clearly on top of their game. The electrician told me he was studying part time for a degree in electrical engineering so clearly there is a sense of continuous improvement. I was also pleasantly surprised to be invited on a spur of the moment tour of Evoenergy's headquarters in Chilwell. My only criticism was that Eoenergy were not aware that Erewash Borough Council, the lpcal planning authority insist that householders wishing to install a PV system must apply for approval to install under Building Regulations. Apart from that Evoenergy did a first class job.

I have asked 3 times for a quote over the past 2 months and nothing forthcoming. I am an existing customer. D. Lines.

I undertook extensive research into the background, reputation and service records of a number of companies and decided on Evo Energy. Evo stood out from the others by a mile - itemized, detailed quotation, courteous staff and when the installation date arrived, they were on time, their work was faultless, clean and, once again polite and courteous. Their Team even helped me with the paperwork I needed to complete for the power company. I would have no hesitation whatever in recommending them. The results from the panels they recommended for my roof have exceed expectations by 20% - thank you Jamie! Evo are well worth a call, no pushy sales talk just honest advice from a knowledgeable and well trained Team who are rightly proud to work for Evo Energy. Evo's work ethic should be cited as an example of excellent practice.

We enquired about solar PV systems simply to find out a little more about the process and what was involved, and did not just ask questions from Evoenergy. On the initial phone call we got heaps of information and also a feeling for how knowledgable the staff were. More importantly we did not fell under any pressure to take the matter forward. We received a detailed written info pack after our house had been surveyed - again the physical survey was carried out efficiently and with absoulutely no pressure at all. Naturally we got other suppliers in to talk to us, but none of them seemed as if they had as much know-how. The price was also hard to beat. The actual installation was carried out quickly and the guys worked so hard to get it done - but from an 8am start, we were commissioned and generating by 3pm! After care and contact has been fine too and would recommend the company to anyone thinking about PV - at least 2 of our frineds and work colleagues have had their installations done by Evoenergy and all were happy.

I spent a couple of months going through the plans with the very friendly and personal staff(who are great) agreed a very good price then a date, within 2 weeks during April the installers came round plus 1 electrician( in heavy rain and a gale) installed 14 panels plus everything else all in 1 day. The lads where professional and keep everything neat and tidy. I would say I had no problems before,during and after installation. We are enjoying our free energy. I WOULD recommend Evoenergy to anyone. In the discussions we had either phone/email all our questions were answered very clearly to understand.

All features of the installation were explained all technical issues explained and the fitting was very efficient and no mess. System works as predicted and all the installation team were as polite and professional as the sales team. Sales process was very good - no hard sell just lots of information and all concerns addressed. Advice on siting panels was very sensible and have no hesitation in recommending Evo for solar installation.

EvoEnergy were really excellent for the following aspects of my installtion. 1. The intial quotation process. 2. The survey of my house. 3. The production of a final quotation based on the survey. 4. The whole installation process. The only problem was with the project manager who was assigned to me, he did not reply when contacted and initially sent an incorrect MCS certificate. However, since installation the panels are working perfectly and, despite our less than perfect weather currently, are generating more energy than predicted by the company. Overall the planning, installation and performace of my system has been really very good indeed.

Evoenergy fitted PV panels to my roof just under 2 years ago. Both before the fit and since then I have been really impressed with their attention to detail, technical know-how, quality fitment and first class customer service. I highly reocmmend the company.

I found Evo Energy very helpful and very good in terms of their timing and workmanship. The generation is on track I think as to what they estimated. My meter is currently at 2000 and they estimate 3500 and I have 5 months to go to the annual installation date in November so it looks promising. There was a couple of small things I did not like which where the positioning of the meter which they subsequently moved and the positioning of which made it slightly better and the main box in the loft which was positioned differently to what was explained originally and the door cannot be opened in it's current postion due to the roof pitch.

Trusted friends had already used EvoEnergy to install photovoltaic solar panels that they were delighted with so I had no hesitation in choosing EvoEnergy to design and fit my system. Communications were fast and effective. I was impressed with the knowledge, enthusiasm and helpfulness of the representative who visited me to inspect my house and design alternative sytems for me. I could phone easily if I wanted to do so. Two days before the installation, the scaffolding team came as agreed to prepared the site well.The agreed installation date was kept to and the team worked very well over 6 hours. The system was explained to me clearly with clear printed informaion as well. Since having my system installed over a year ago, I have been delighted with it and it has exceeded the anticipated output. I'm especially pleased on bright days! It has been a pleasure to show the system to other people and explain it to them. Do I have any suggestions? Ensure that your roof is in good condition before the work is done. Make sure that, before getting estimates, your roof area is measured accurately by any Company you deal with. Keep your Electric Company informed of dates.

I had Evo Enerey and I found they were very supportive,they answered all my questions that was of interet and concerns. I found that they were very proffeshoinal in soler technology and made it easy for me on understand. Thay were fast at installing it all and very polight and tidy. I have had mine now for 15 months now and we are saving a good bit on our bills so I'll say a big thanks to Evo Energy for a job well done.

I used Evo Energy for the fitting of 10 Sanyo hybrid pv solar panels after seeking quotes from several potential suppliers. I chose them because their price was competitive but more importantly I found them informative and they gave me confidence they knew what they were talking about and were likely to deliver what they promised. The implementation of the work went as expected and I would be very happy to recommend them to anyone else who is thinking of having pv panels fitted.

We contacted Evo after a reccomendation from a friend and the process from start to installation and beyond has been a pleasure. The whole concept of Solar PV seems too good to be true and the evo consultant guided me through the details and answered my endless questions thoroughly and with honesty. There was no hard sell and we were given time and plenty of different options to choose from. The installation was seamless and the scaffolders, electricians and project manager we all efficient and respectful of our property and belongings. It is now nearly nine months since our installation and we are delighted with the performance of our system and we are well on target to obtain the promised feed in tarrif for the year. We are also finding it pretty easy to manage our electricity useage to to save more than expected on our electricity bill. We cannot reccomend Evo highly enough.

The sales team were both knowledgable and friendly, there was absolutely no hard sell. The installation team were helpful, knowledgable, friendly and tidy.

Evo Energy were recommended by a friend for whom Evo had installed a PV system. The surveyor turned up on time, took on board the things we were interested in (PV panel layout, cable routing and inverter location) and provided what turned out to be accurate answers to our questions. We knew that Evo would not be the cheapest. As it turned out their quotation lay almost exactly in the middle of the range we received. The scaffolders and installers turned up on time and completed the work in the anticipated two days leaving a fully working installation and a perfectly tidy site. Management of the installation was fully explained to us by the installation team and we have had NO problems with it. We were surprised by the inverter's apparent consumption of electricity overnight but this was eventually explained to be 'reactive current' by Evo's engineers. The ONLY thing which Evo got wrong was the issue of the MCS certificate which did not arrive for more than a week after installation so we 'lost' 25kWh of FIT tariff from B Gas. I would recommend Evo wholeheartedly.
