My property's layout made this a slightly difficult installation, for both the solar panels and the storage battery, and so there were inevitably a few glitches along the way. What was most impressive was that at every turn the customer services and technical support staff were immediately on the case and could not have been more helpful. I have rarely experienced such friendly and supportive service - it almost made it a pleasure to have some minor issues to deal with. I'd highly recommend this company based on my experience.

We had a massive 8KW , 26 panels installation of solar energy completed by Home Smart energy just recently. The entire process went without any issues - right from the initial surveys to the installation surveys and the actual installation. Richard and Tom installed our panels on the roof and did a through job . They went above and beyond and even cleaned up our roof, gutters and other wiring and removed an old satellite dish pole. 5 stars all the way and highly recommended

Faultless service from initial contact to final installation. Knowledgeable salesman, competent electrician and installers. They came, they saw, they installed, they checked it was working, they left everything tidy. I'm sure any after sales care will be of just the same standard. Panels and batteries have been in place for just over 3 months and we can generate and store electricity and I hope to be able to export spare electricity to the grid.

I've been very impressed with Home Smart Energy. They fitted my Solar panel array and battery storage system March 2023. Since then whenever I've needed to call the Technical department for any minor issues they have always been more than willing to assist me. Very proactive company. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

We received a letter in the post from our local council regards solar and exploring different tenders. Smartfoam were the company to win the tender and they have been a breeze to deal with. The flyer came through in October and the panels were installed by January. Good communication, everything has been quick and efficient. Install was very fast (we had 13 panels and battery). No mess no damage. Everything was explained and the app system is a great idea, love watching the In going and out going stats. All the documentation was received within days of completion too. Highly recommend. Thank you.
