Great company, Mark was brilliant at explaining the process of solar and battery products, his staff couldn't have been more helpful. The whole system was up and running within 3-4 days. A month after installation and what a difference in the electricity bill, I wish I had done this years ago. Thanks Mark and the team.

We were looking for a solar/ battery system for our property last year. MW Solar were one of quite a few companies we approached for ideas and quotations. We already had in mind an idea of what we would like the system to achieve. After a while we got completely fed up with some other companies who just didn’t seem to listen to what we wanted and just wanted to fit a bog standard system that didn’t require approval from the grid. If we were going to invest in this we had to make sure it would be worth the investment. One other thing to note is that many of the other companies couldn’t/ wouldn’t tell us who would actually be installing it. I didn’t personally feel happy about this. If you join various forums you will see many poor installations by sub contractors of quite well known systems. I have a friend who used MW Solar for his installation and he was full of praise for the company. After making contact with them myself the first thing was that I felt listened to. Any queries I had, and there were quite a few ! were answered/ explained in a manner that I could understand so we decided to go ahead with them. The whole installation by MW Solar went well and we are very pleased with the end result. It’s about 3 months since our system (Sigenergy) was installed and the Gateway feature has proven it’s worth in the recent winter storm when we had a 3 day power cut but we still had an electricity supply :) . We are also definitely saving money on our bills even in winter so it will be interesting to see the total savings after 12 months. I’d definitely recommend MW Solar if your looking for a reliable installer.

I have no reluctance in recommending MW Solar. Mark, Owner, explained and quoted for three options explaining them very clearly. His costs were good and I am very satisfied with the installation. He has a great manner and is very approachable.

Excellent work from the team at MW Solar, after months of issues and many companies unable to sort, they have sorted and we are back up and running.

It’s fair to say that I was already convinced that a solar energy system would be a very good investment and it was on this basis that I approached three companies to see what they could offer. One was a large organisation operating nationwide, one was a smaller organisation covering the whole of the south west and, finally, MW Solar who had been recommended by a near neighbour. Most reputable companies providing solar systems probably offer good equipment but the key concern for me was the actual installation of the components. The nationwide company was very much “one size fits all” and I got the feeling that the equipment would be fitted by an anonymous crew in a way that made it easy for them. It didn’t seem possible to engage with anyone about the practicalities of the installation, most likely because the people on the end of the phone had probably never installed a system themselves. It was clear from the outset that MW Solar were in a different league to the larger companies. Mark Warden has a tremendous in-depth knowledge, not only of solar energy systems but of electrical installations and building work as well. He made several suggestions to improve the placement of the roof panels and arrive at the optimum positioning of the inverters and batteries. I think it is unlikely that the other two companies would have provided so much input to optimise the installation even supposing they had the ability. MW Solar installed a nominal 9 kW array of panels with two 4.9 kW Victron Charge controllers and two 5kW Victron inverters operating in parallel. Two BSL batteries provide a total storage capacity of 10.2 kWh. A fixed display panel by the inverters indicates the flow of power in real time, and gives access to all the system settings. Alternatively, I can monitor and control the system from my phone or iPad. The Victron system is very flexible and storage strategies can be easily changed. Recently, I have been keeping the batteries fully charged at all times to provide domestic back-up power in the event of a power cut. Very useful in a rural area where overhead power lines can be brought down by storms. Soon, I will switch back to using stored power at night to reduce power consumed from the grid. I am very pleased with the quality and professional look of the installation, which was completed within a week. Mark and his team were very focussed and efficient, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend MW Solar to anyone considering a solar energy system. The installation was commissioned at the end of July 2025 and I have been pleasantly surprised by how much power the system generates, even at dawn and approaching dusk. I just wish I had done this years ago!

Mark and Ben and Ash were superb. Professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Neat work, and helped with setting up the system and connecting to the energy supplier. Just so good.

Great service, installation and product. It was great meeting Mark and, from the outset, talking about what we would like and how he could give us what we wanted, manage the installation and options to expand if we wanted. He provided and accurate quote, scheduled the work to integrate with the other tradesmen that were working at our property and finished with all waste removed. After service is also great! I cannot recommend MW Solar highly enough.
