Quality installation matters more than a cheap headline price

A solar system is part roofing work, part electrical installation and part long-term energy system. We design the whole job — not just the panel count.

  • System design around your property
    Roof space, orientation, shading, consumption, EVs, heating and future plans are considered together.
  • Electrical testing and certification
    Installation, commissioning and the relevant electrical documentation are part of the job.
  • DNO and MCS paperwork
    We manage the required installation documentation and handover information for your system.
  • Monitoring setup and explanation
    You should leave the installation understanding what the system is doing and how to view it.
  • Support after installation
    Mr Solar also diagnoses, repairs and upgrades existing systems, so support does not stop at commissioning.

Solar + storage + smarter energy use

Make more of the electricity your home generates

The right setup can reduce grid purchases, move stored energy into the evening and, where suitable, make use of lower-cost charging periods and export tariffs. The design should follow your usage — not the other way around.

Generate at home

Solar panels produce electricity during daylight hours for household loads and suitable onward storage.

Store for later

Battery storage can move suitable energy into evenings, higher-use periods or times when grid electricity costs more.

See what is happening

Modern systems provide app monitoring, giving you a clearer picture of generation, storage, import and export.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After spending a lot of time researching solar, I chose Mr Solar for a 9.3kWp solar PV system, Tesla Powerwall 3 and myenergi Zappi EV charger, and I’m really pleased with my decision. Every team involved was excellent. The scaffolding and roofing teams were punctual, professional and left everything tidy. Lee, the electrician, was knowledgeable, took the time to explain the system and made sure everything was working exactly as it should. The owners, Ian and Nadine, were outstanding throughout. They always answered calls and emails promptly, nothing was ever too much trouble, and they were genuinely committed to making sure I was happy with every aspect of the installation. There were a few minor issues after the installation, but they were dealt with quickly and professionally. That, to me, is what really matters. The system is performing brilliantly, the installation looks fantastic, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr Solar to anyone considering solar panels, battery storage or an EV charger. Thanks again to the whole team!

Ian and the team were very professional and polite. The process was made more complicated due to myself having to arrange some roof repairs before the work had started. But once these works were complete the Mr Solar team got everything done very quickly. We were shown how easy the app was to use and how to see how much we were saving, although it took a while as the install was completed in November. But once March arrived it has been great. Great service

No solar input I first noticed a problem when using the Givenergy app to monitor solar input and battery storage use. The battery was constantly 100% yett there was no input from the panels. Initial fears was that the panels had failed (installed in 2013), but with 2 separate strings this didn't seem likely. I contacted Ian and he suggested that the first route was to carry out a drone survey which showed the panels were fine. He sent an electrician ( Matthew) to check system and eventually managed to rectify the issue. Very impressed with service i received and would highly recommend Mr Solar for your solar needs.

Amazing service I discovered that our solar panel had stopped generating power I called the office and spoke to a very knowledgeable and pleasant lady. Nadine. She confirmed what had suspected inverter failure. But before going ahead she asked me do some tests and suggested that maybe a hard reset might work. This didn't so I went ahead with getting it replaced. The unit arrived in 3 working days and the Electrician Jamie came 2 days later as promised. He was very efficient and pleasant and we are now generating again. Really happy with the service all round Thank you

New Router changing Dongle information We changed Internet provider so our new router was not reading the GivEnergy dongle and showing offline on the GivEnergy app. After sending half a day trying GivEnergy app to change info to new router and failed. We contacted Ian at Mr Solar and he sent us all the information required to do it and on the first time it was up and running. In the pass we purchased GivEnergy items from Ian. I have now learnt a value thing, in the future I will go to Ian first instead of GivEnergy because you spoke to a person and not a robot. No wonder GivEngery reviews are less than 2 out of 5 and Ian's is 4.7 out of 5. Great news for a local company should have gone to Ian first.

Excellent service, professional and friendly. I contacted MR Solar PV after completing some significant due diligence. Ian from Mr Solar designed the system with me, Tesla Powerwall, Expansion pack and Tesla Gateway coupled to 25 Aiko Gen3 485w Solar panels. These were professionally and efficiently installed by Alistair and Russ. An excellent installation, I was very well supported by Ian and Nadine, answering all the questions I had throughout the installation/commissioning and close out paperwork process. I thoroughly recommend Mr Solar PV and the whole team at Mr Solar.

We were recommended to Mr Solar by a friend who had solar panels already installed by them. We are very pleased we went with the recommendation. Ian and Nadine were extremely efficient prompt and knowledgeable. Ian was able to guide us through the choices for the installation and the team (Russ and Gerry) were hard working and worked to a high standard. We were impressed with the whole experience.

We already had solar panels under the original FIT scheme and recently a friend had had a large installation installed complete with batteries, we weren't sure if adding a battery to our system would be beneficial but Ian explained in detail - we had another company who basically just said yes you'd benefit! - so having this info we were happy to go ahead, the battery was installed in May and has definitely saved us money but more importantly it has giving us flexibility to use the stored electric in the evenings rather then feeling we have to do everything during the free 'sun' time. Have since added a second battery.

Mr Solar brought all the right qualifications and MCS certs to the table. He replaced our failed inverter and was also able to MCS certify our solar installation. So all boxes are now ticked. Thanks.

Solar Pv Installation After much consideration and investigation, I purchased a 16 panel Givenergy solar system with 9.5Kw battery from Mr Solar. I was very satisfied with the whole process. No 'hard-sell' but plenty of advice and information to ensure you purchased a suitable system. The installation was undertaken in an appropriate reassuring professional manner. If you are considering the installation of a Pv system, I highly recommend Mr Solar, as a company you can rely on to provide a great customer experience, a high standard of service and a quality installation.

Solar PV installation I had several Solar quotes from different providers, all appeared over priced in my opinion and some including home visits over several hours with well rehearsed sales pitches, where they just would not leave to pressure for a sale. What initially appealed to me with Mr Solar was the simplicity of the process, no sales pitch, no pressure. Strong advice, clear and simple pricing, followed by polite, clean, professional installation. I can’t fault them!

Solar panel installation Mr solar upgraded the system on our new build. An extra 6 panels were installed, and a battery system in the loft. A few months later we had him install another battery so we can charge over night when electricity is cheaper on top of the charge we get from the sun. We now have much cheaper bills than most people and we are also charging an EV.

Useful answers before you enquire

Solar & battery questions

Will solar panels work on my roof?

Suitability depends on usable roof area, orientation, pitch, shading, roof condition and local constraints. A survey lets us assess those factors and recommend a sensible layout.

Do I need a battery with solar panels?

Not every home needs the same solution. Battery storage can help move suitable energy into evenings or other higher-use periods, but capacity should be based on your actual consumption, tariff and goals.

Can I add a battery to an existing solar system?

Often, yes. The existing inverter, metering, electrical installation, system age and any Feed-in Tariff arrangements should be checked before deciding the best retrofit approach.

Can a battery charge from cheaper overnight electricity?

Many modern battery systems can be scheduled to charge from the grid during lower-cost tariff periods. Whether that is worthwhile depends on the tariff, battery settings and your household demand.

What if my original installer has stopped trading?

Mr Solar’s repair and Rescue services can inspect, diagnose and support suitable existing solar PV and battery systems installed by other companies.

How much will a solar and battery system cost?

Cost depends on system size, roof access, electrical work, battery capacity and equipment choice. We prefer a tailored proposal over a headline package price that may not suit the property.
