"Good prices, quick and friendly service. Amazing set-up, and the guys left the place clean and tidy. As a man in a wheelchair, they handled everything and communicated it well with me."

"Excellent service from James and the team. The installation was efficient and professional, and finished well within the day. It's nice to watch the house run off the solar during the day and off the battery in the evening rather than the grid. I would highly recommend The Local Solar Company if you're looking for a new installation or to upgrade an existing system."

"Excellent company with good after-sales help. The savings on my electricity bills are huge, and the panels and battery have been great for my household running costs. Thanks again."

How it works

1

Free energy assessment

We look at your roof - the pitch, the orientation, the shading - and at what your household actually uses, then tell you honestly what a system on your house would generate.

2

Your savings report and written quote

A system design for your home, the power output you can expect, a clear price, an annual savings estimate, when it pays for itself, and what you could earn exporting back to the grid. In writing, and yours to keep.

3

Fitted by our own team

Design, supply and install are all in-house, so the people who designed your system are the people on your roof. Nothing is subcontracted out.
