“TCL Solar Ltd run by two brothers Simon & David are great guys. The quote they gave was extremely competitive and we had no hesitation to except TCL’s quotation. The fitters turned up on the day and done an excellent professional job. They cleaned up throughout the day to minimise any mess and left the house like they had never been. The wife was best pleased. Well done guys😊”

“TCL Solar gave me some great advice about the type of system I need. I chose them because the advice given was honest, the equipment was top notch and the price was competitive.”

“I was very pleased with the entire process of purchasing solar panels from Simon and David of TCL. When Simon came to my house to carry out the initial survey and provide a quote, I was not subjected to high pressure selling. Information about the solar panels and the installation process was provided in a clear and understandable manner. Follow up calls from TCL were on schedule and calls to them from me, were either answered immediately or the call was returned within the hour. Delivery of the panels was arranged for the day prior to installation and the whole pallet fitted into the garage where it remained overnight. The installation team (Liam and David - a different one) arrived on time the following morning and set to work. They were polite, friendly young men who worked quickly and neatly. There was no waste materials or rubbish left behind The 12 panels were in place and working in under 4 hours and thanks to sunny weather they were generating power within minutes. So far over 70 kilowatt’s of surplus power have been generated and fed back to the National Grid in a little over 65 hrs of daylight. The time taken from confirming the order and installation was about 10 days, so very prompt. I considered the price paid to be reasonable and fair. Overall I am a very happy customer. There is sufficient space on the roof to add up to 10 more panels in the future and I will be happy to go back to TCL for those panels in due course.”

“Decided to go solar to help reduce the energy bill, so started looking. Tried five companies, the last being TCL Solar. Sharp practices seem common in this industry, as I soon found out! That is until I spoke to David and Simon, and then Simon came round. What a refreshing change. Very professional, truthful, knowledgeable, and no hit of pushiness. Got the quote from David and significally cheaper than others for the same quality product. At this point I should say I do have a 'distant' business connection with the world of solar research, so I know who makes the best panels, and those are the ones David and Simon got and installed for us! Various things which other companies wanted to charge us a fortune for were included in the price with TCL. Things like scaffolding, iSolar for water heating, and bird guard. Christian came to survey things, and David and Liam did the installation. What a couple of great guys, and very pleasent and knowledgeable too. The inverter had to be mounted inside the garage so I assumed there would be dust and mess from the drilling etc, but when I went out there to clean up after they left I couldn't find anything to clean up, not on the lawns or paths either! David even took all the packaging away including the pallet the panels etc arrived on. Again, I was anticipating a trip to the tip myself to get rid of this. TCL Solar might not be the biggest company out there, and perhaps that is a real asset to them, but I found them both honest, truthful, and definitely willing to do that 'extra bit' to ensure I as a customer was happy. I this day of sloppy and half-hearted customer service it was a real breath of fresh air to see that at less one company knows how to do it! Would I recommend them, yes, without any reservation what so ever. It's only been two weeks since installation now, but I'm so glad we chose TCL, and I think you will be too.”

“Exceptional! Brilliant! 5 stars! The BEST by a mile - actually by MUCH more - but the common expression is to stick to "a mile", rather than a thousand miles :-) Let's just say TCL Solar went the "extra mile" from 1st contact to end of project! It will sound odd but, truth told, I'm sad that its ended. Fyi to readers of this review, no-one BUT NO-ONE, except my children take £10 off me easy :-) For reasons best kept to myself, albeit I will share some "back story" below - just to high light how amazing TCL have been - I don't take prisoners when agitated, especially when confronted with "industry-wide" dishonesty and to be more blunt - "industry sharks!". Some needed back story ... and, I'll try to cut a long story short, ... before TCL contacted me, I was still in horrified conflict with "used car" motor trade industry. Can somebody in Government please regulate - in stern law - the "used car" marketplace!? I'm inclined to run as an Independent MP just to fight this totally unregulated industry. It is truly the "Wild West"! For anybody that thinks that TV programme called "Westworld" is gruesome, just remember that TV is fiction, "used car" motor trade is fact! To end on motor trade, as it leads into my story about TCL .... after 6 weeks and battles with over 30 dealers, within a 12 hour time difference, I got £2,000 more for my "used car". And trust me, the 30th dealer than bought my car is "large" and "savvy". But, unlike prior 29 companies, they DID honest, common-sense business. I won and they won. In fact, 8 hours after I sold my car to 30th company, price went up by £250 across multiple valuation firms. I didn't care anymore. In fact, I was sort of happy for them, as they took my car at a fair-to-good price - 8 hours prior - so, they were most welcome to make MORE money on it. Which all brings me back to TCL Solar. By the time I came into contact with TCL, I was on an "industry-wide war path". I had started Solar Panel company investigations 4 weeks AFTER used car sale process started. TCL were 5th solar energy company to cross my path! 5th - please NOTE: 5th! Prior 4 had incensed me with a mix of great sadness, huge frustration and anger - for their collective mix of dishonesty, bungling/incompetence, "trying it on", and ON TOP, plain simple arrogance! As David and Simon and I can now look back on and giggle; truth is - I was hyper-aggressive with them. Why? 29 "used car" dealers later and 4 solar companies later ... I was "spitting blood" by the time TLC and I engaged! Remarkably, when nearing potential sale terms with TCL; when I got EVEN more aggressive and distrustful and was testing them ... they, were prepared to walk away from the deal. Basically, and truth told - I offended their honesty and integrity as brothers; a business and as two gentlemen. I didn't really mean too .... I was just in shock with "Wild West" nature of motor trade and very sad to advise; ditto with solar panel industry. Again ... maybe I should run as an MP, but won't ... as it doesn't pay enough to make it worth my while to fight these two - unregulated - and huge industries. Lol! Rest assured - should readers care - I have different methods of dealing with companies that will willingly exploit the vulnerable. So, I must bring this saga to an end ... as the crux of the matter is: once TCL were prepared to back-out for their "honour", it was a no-brainer for me ... to try and persuade them to contract with me. They had my trust. Fortunately for me, David and Simon agreed to do business with me. Truth is, I did have to persuade them :-) And WOW! Have they delivered in spades. Unbelievable! Dear readers of this review; trust me ... I've seen too much business and have battle medals and business scars a plenty; so much so, that at 53, I'm sick of business. BUT, in all my business career, it has been my privilege to have done business with TCL. From Simon & David - via Christian and Liam to [another] David and to Brin [the "visionary" scaffolder] - I have NEVER been so impressed by 6 different people, pulling together, against the odds - in such a tough business - as solar energy! All of them: charming, caring, professional, considerate, welcoming, interesting and interested. Just magnificent! Fascinating individuals that genuinely care about their customers. Amazing! I've spent my working life in "loyalty marketing" for biggest companies in the world. Many talk, but TCL and associates ... WALKED THE TALK! I only have one complaint versus TCL and associates :-) They have inspired me! They are magicians, true artisans. Men of their word. I had planned to quit business and walk into the sunset. Now, I may just have to build another company thanks to TCL and associates' solar panel installation. There you have - my only gripe. I wanted to be left in peace but they have motivated me :-) So, all in all, I cannot recommend TCL highly enough. For readers who might think I'm overly emotive ... all I can say is cross-quote to your hearts' content - as you should - and then, decide for yourselves. Keep safe. Best regards. Phil [from Ipswich]”

“We had been looking into solar for several months for our renovation project and had several quotes and TCL were by far the best, both in price and to deal with. Simon was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions was a pleasure to talk too and did not push us into anything we did want or need. Once we had decided David organized the whole process very swiftly arranged for Christian from fitting team to visit within days where he explained the whole fitting process when it would take place and what it would entail. They turned up when they said they would their work was second to none, very neat and tidy and professional. As a whole I couldn't recommend TCL SOLAR highly enough!”

“I had several quotes for solar panel installation, of varying quality. TCL offered a very competitive quote, were very clear and informative when discussing my needs and what they offered. Following an on-site visit, they were able to offer an installation date promptly, within two weeks. The installation team arrived when they said they would, were polite, helpful and worked hard to complete in a day as advised. All with minimal fuss and maximal efficiency. I found the whole process straightforward and felt I could trust the company to do what they said they would. Now one week in and all good do far!! I would wholeheartedly recommend TCL to anyone considering installation of solar panels.”

“Very helpful & informative. Simon came out & talked us through the whole process. We never felt rushed or pushed into anything at any point & we appreciated Simon’s honesty. 2 weeks after meeting Simon we had the solar system installed & haven’t had any problems at all. Installation was quick & the guys were very polite. The guys were always available at the other end of the phone the whole time for any questions we had. Wouldn’t hesitate in using them again if we ever needed or wanted to change anything.”

“A pleasure to deal with. Excellent service from TCL. Simon and David offered very helpful and useful advice from day one. We spent a lot of time researching solar panels and had visits and quotes from several companies. Some were good and others were not But TCL ticked all the boxes, we decided to use them for several reasons. They offered good value, are a small, local family concern, not at all pushy and did what they said they would do and when they said it would be done. The installation team of Chris, Dave and Liam arrived on time, were courteous and conscientious. They ensured everything was fitted to our satisfaction and cleared up well when they'd finished. All in all, I can't recommend TCL highly enough.”

“Excellent service from TCL Solar. Simon and David have made the whole process easy and straightforward. Very good advice, no sales patter - Simon listened to how our household uses energy and advised what we would need to get the best out of a solar system. Price was very competitive, I also liked the fact that they were local to my area. Fitters were very neat and tidy with their work. Scaffolding was up and down in a matter of days. Paperwork was processed in a few days after installation. Certificate and warranties were sent to me without delay. TCL solar have checked with me to make sure everything is working and that I’m happy with the system. Any questions they have answered. I give this company 5 stars as they deserve it. Efficient, professional, good advice. They go above and beyond to make sure everything goes smoothly.”

“We have been thinking about having solar for about 6 months. We have seen a few companies over the last two weeks. David rang us to arrange the appointment and Simon came along to do the survey and answer any questions. I must say we had a full page of questions. Simon was very knowledgeable and answered everything. The price of the installation was very competitive and above all, we liked the fact it's a family-run business. We were given a date of installation two weeks from ordering. The installation itself went very well. I'm now looking forward to saving some money.”

“We had been thinking about solar for a while, but started seriously looking when Cambridge CC announced their Solar Together scheme. We wanted to be sure it was actually a good deal so sought a couple of extra quotes. TCL Solar gave a good impression over the phone, and also when Simon came to the property for an initial consultation. They offered great value, the install happened swiftly and the service was much more personal than what we believe the partnership deal would have offered. The installation team were very professional and have done a great job, we are very happy with the end result. David has also been very supportive with the paperwork and helping with the application for an export tariff. We would definitely recommend TCL Solar.”
