Starks Electrical & Solar Reviews

Solar panel and battery installation this week in verwood. Quick and easy process. Took time to tweak design originally based on what we were after. Application all sent off quick once proposal accepted. When this came back we had dates for Install the next week. Smooth operation and the guys cleared up after themselves. Communication has been great. Just waiting on the paperwork post install. Happy with how the system is working for us already in a short space of time. When coming out originally they were the only company to check electrics and roof space, including using a drone to check the installation design and make sure it was as accurate as possible. Thanks team!

I highly recommend Starks Electrical! They installed a third string of solar panels onto our flat roof in Fordingbridge. Alongside a home battery and Sigenergy EVDC. We are very happy with the tidy installation and it all works perfectly. A follow up request to add an import limit on the battery system was completed quickly. Professional and friendly team. Free bird screen was an unexpected bonus. Russell was super helpful in talking through options and listening to what I wanted to do.

I have to say I was extremely impressed with Starks Solar and the Solar panel and battery installation at my home in West Parley. From survey to installation completion, Russell and his team explained every step which was extremely reassuring. The installation team worked professionally as a team and I was surprised how quickly it was up and running. No fuss, no mess, no problem. Thank you Russell, I would definitely recommend your company.

I had wanted to have solar installed for many months but was put off by hard sales tactics and unsolicited phone calls. Having read the reviews for Starks Solar I requested a quote. I was pleasantly surprised from start to finish. The whole outfit is very professional and personable with no hard sell. My panels and battery were installed within a month of the original estimate. I would recommend this company to anyone seeking to have solar panels installed.

High expectations were improved. Good afternoon. When I enquired about a Solar system with Storage battery, Russell came to visit our property, he sent up a drone to view the roof structure, he then gave a detailed explanation of our choices, we received an email quotation, which detailed options and costings within a few days. Starks Solar was one of Three quotations I received, it was a close call between two of them, but overall Russell gave a better presentation which gave us more confidence in workmanship and aftercare service. We ordered a Sigenergy system with Battery. The level of service from Starks Solar was excellent, during both quotation and installation. Installation was quick and well managed as was the paperwork though Dave. I would recommend Starks Solar. Regards Steve Higginson. (Barton on sea)

Solar panel installation We received several quotes and Russell’s was the most appropriate for our needs and competitively priced. The installation team were great too. Arrived on time, explained everything they were doing and completed the job in good time. I couldn’t recommend Starks more highly.

From our first enquiry to completion Russell and his team have been outstanding. Following an on site survey and discussion Russell provided a comprehensive quotation for our solar system including performance predictions. The installation team were a pleasure to have working in our home, they explained the work plan and checked we were happy with the proposed positioning of cables an equipment. The system is now running as predicted despite the dull January weather. Thank you Russell and your team.

We have an existing Fox Solar System installed since 2022. I wanted to add the Fox EPS system (allows battery only use during a power-cut). This wasn’t available at the time of my original installation. My original installer was not able to offer this a number of others were not interested. Starks responded immediately to my request for a quotation and have recently completed the installation. They are a delight to deal with, friendly and helpful. The quality of their work is exemplary and I have now transferred the support of my system to them. I would have no hesitation in recommending Starks to anyone interested in Solar energy or for existing Solar users requiring support or upgrades.

Solar installation From my first contact to the completed installation Russell and his team have been first class. Russell completed an onsite survey and discussed our needs and then produced a comprehensive written proposal. His installation team were excellent and very pleasant to have in our home they took time to explain and agree the work plan. As work progressed they checked that we were happy and agreed the location of equipment with us. Our system has been running for a week now and despite bad weather and short days (mid January) the system is producing electricity and my electricity consumption has reduced in line my expectation. I would not hesitate to use Russell again in the future.

The whole process from start to finish has been incredibly easy. Russell and his team have worked hard to ensure we have the best set up that works for us.

I have just had solar panels and battery fitted. Dealing with Starks was quick and easy. Where most quotes I got were just online, Russell took the time to come to our house and chat to us. Taking the time to listen to my questions, and work out what was the best system for our needs. Highly recommended

We decided to put in a Solar + battery solution in September. We saw three providers and Starks were clearly the best supplier we dealt with. The initial sales visit was professional and informative. We were able to design the system to meet our needs and had the installation a couple of weeks later. All the work was undertaken in a professional manner and after a couple of days we had the system up and running. Very pleased with the ease of working with this company. The product installed was high quality and the workmanship all through the installation was high. I cannot fault the work undertaken and the outcome is even better than expected. Should have done this ages ago! Thanks!

Before meeting the team at Starks I was a little apprehensive about taking the solar plunge. So many national companies jostling for our business, often with unclear pricing. However, from start to finish the team were exceptional. Everything explained well from the onset and the installation team were professional, friendly, and courteous. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Starks recently assessed and quoted for solar at our property. We were given different options and the benefits of each system were fully explained. They designed a bespoke system in response to our wish to be as self-sufficient as possible, maximising the space available on our roof. The battery with the system they installed for us can be upgraded if needed, giving us more flexibility in the future. From the first meeting with their surveyor, Paul, we felt confident that they knew what we wanted and that they could provide it. The team were punctual, friendly and efficient and completed the job in the specified time to a high standard, offering ongoing support as and when needed.
