Excel Energy were very knowledgeable and responsive to our requirements. We ordered a 7.2kWh solar PV system with Solar Edge battery and inverter, and the team that came to install did an excellent job. I was impressed with their good attitude, attention to detail and high quality of workmanship. I would recommend anyone considering a PV solar system use Excel Energy. I have been so impressed with their work and the performance of the system installed at my home that I have just commissioned them to do a commercial installation on my business premises.

Glenn WilsonFacade Hoists, Director ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We were looking to put Solar Panels on our farm buildings and had researched a few different companies, but found Excel Energy to be the most competitive. The service and support we have received from Nick Neza has been amazing throughout the whole installation process. He visited us on the farm, went through everything with us, planned the job and gave us a timescale. The team of men turned up on the planned date, fitted all the panels, installed all the electrical equipment and commissioned the system within the planned timescale. All the paperwork has been excellently planned. All certificates have been received. If there are any problems or queries then Nick is available at any time. The company has been excellent all the way through the whole process. We thoroughly recommend them.

Nick from Excel Energy supervised the installation of our ground mounted panels with battery back up. This was done carefully and to a very high standard. We are now enjoying free electricity and earning money from feeding surplus into the Grid. I would also like to thank Nick for his patience guiding me through the procedures so that I can now see what is being generated by each panel on my computer and mobile phone. This is addictive!!
Nick JonesLamberhurst Farm ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
After meeting a number of Solar companies, Nick and his Team at Excel were by far the most helpful when it came to designing a system which needed to be split over multiple roofs and have no visual impact to the unique design of the building the panels sat on or the surrounding area. Very happy customer.
Nick Herridge⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We would like to express our appreciation for the excellent service provided by Nick at Excel Energy Ltd. He efficiently installed our replacement SolarEdge inverter and seamlessly integrated it with our existing SolarEdge account. Thank you for your professionalism and expertise.
