We had a fantastic experience with Evolution Electrical from start to finish.Carl carried out the initial survey, and after discussing our requirements we opted for a Sigenergy system with 14 panels, and 10kWh battery. On the day of installation, the team reviewed everything again and advised we could fit additional panels, taking us to 17 panels. This means the system will pay for itself in a significantly shorter timeframe.We also chose to include the Sigenergy Gateway to provide protection during grid outages, which means we can keep the house running should we lose grid power. In addition, we opted for an iBoost to divert excess solar into heating our hot water, further improving the overall efficiency of the system.The system performance has exceeded expectations. By day two we had produced nearly 17kWh of power, fully charging the battery and covering the majority of the house’s usage, including running the washing machine and tumble dryer, and this was in late February.Nationwide customers can apply for interest-free finance through their Green Additional Borrowing scheme, allowing you to spread the cost. You’ll be offsetting this borrowing against the savings you make on electricity bills and by selling back to the grid.If you’re considering solar, I’d strongly recommend using Evolution Electrical. It makes a real difference in terms of support, responsiveness, and keeping money in the local economy. We also looked at the Dorset Council programme, but they do not use local suppliers, and the system proposed by Evolution was vastly superior for a very similar price.Professional, knowledgeable, flexible, and genuinely customer-focused. Highly recommended. Massive thanks to Carl and Otis.
