What our customers say about us.
I am extremely pleased with the installation of my solar battery this morning. UpVolt staff dealt with everything to make the process run smoothly. The job was carried out really well and I'm impressed with the tidy result. The two men installing the battery took time to show me it was working and they pointed out one or two things I may need to know. I have confidence in this company and I can turn to them if I have any questions now, or in the future.

Had an amazing experience buying a solar panel and battery system through Upvolt. Keith was incredibly patient with us and our " Just so I understand this correctly" phone calls. And Jemma and Sharron were extremely prompt with any correspondence from the office. Whole experience was flawless. Everything arrived when it was supposed to and the installation was straightforward. The only tiny issue was that the app wouldn't connect to the server. Easily fixed with one call. Great experience all round, highly recommended.

Really helpful. I had a problem with my solar system and they really went Abivs and beyond to solve the problem. I cannot recommend them highly enough

System was installed just over a year ago. Generated 8MW over the year from an East/West roof. No problems with operation but had a question re the generation meter and after sales service was good.

I was made aware of Upvolt through a comparison site that provides details of local suppliers. I’m very pleased with my experience with Upvolt and would recommend them, from Keith doing the initial assessment providing clear advice on process and potential returns on the installation. Sharon & Jemma in the office provided the documentation and gave me updates on timings etc. Then the installation guys who were courteous and professional during the installation. Overall I’m glad I chose Upvolt and would recommend them to others.

This is the second time we have used Upvolt Oxfordshire to provide us with a solar panel and battery system. We were so pleased back in 2022 when they installed a system in our old house that we did not hesitate to go to them again! They are so helpful and professional, explaining the ideal system to suit our needs and going through the complexities of solar energy in a way that we could easily understand. On the day of fitting we met with a professional and wonderful team of installers who worked hard to put it all together in a single day. I do not hesitate to recommend Upvolt Oxfordshire, they simply are the best.

My FIT solar meter was badly damaged ( it was installed 13years ago, by a different company). Upvolt came to my rescue and fitted a new meter for me. Responsive and fitted me in quickly around their other work load at short notice. Electrician was very helpful and courteous. Performed a thorough investigation of the issue and supplied new meter and isolator. Many thanks for coming to my rescue

Keith, Jemma and Garth from Upvolt Energy where very helpful in arranging at very short notice installation of an inverter to replace our faulty one. Our PV system is now operating well again. Thank you all!

I needed a new Solar Company to provide ongoing services to my existing system. The Upvolt team were very prompt and professional and able to replace my faulty Inverter quickly and without fuss.

Had an excellent experience with Upvolt Oxfordshire throughout the process of solar installation. Keith Willis came to do the home survey and went through the numbers and financial modelling in great detail and was also very responsive to further questions via email. Jemma and Sharon were very helpful answering additional queries about the process. Keith also responded very quickly when there was an issue with the scaffolding on the eve of installation day. Simon (roofer) and Garth (electrician) and their colleagues did a great job working in sweltering heat on the day. Even though they couldn't finish the job due to the heat and the roofers had to come back a week later, Keith kept me updated throughout, and I am delighted that I now have a fully functioning solar system and that I'm already seeing the savings on my electricity bills coming through.

What a team, professional from start to finish. Our PV installation was with Upvolt Oxfordshire and the whole process has gone like clockwork. Keith who did the survey was thorough and explained every step of the process and Sharon and Jemma the team in the office were both supportive and knowledgeable. The guys who did the installation were efficient and tidy workers even to clearing the rubbish away when done. a great job well done!

Upvolt Oxfordshire have been really easy to deal with. From first contact to installation it's been less than 3 weeks. I've had 9 panels, an inverter and a battery installed. I can monitor everything on my phone ( which is a bit addictive ) and it's already making a huge difference to my consumption from the grid. It'll be interesting to see have things change during the winter, and I'll probably change to a tariff that allows me to charge my battery off-peak for cheap. The installation itself took a day ( I live in a new-build so perhaps more straightforward ) and Upvolt came round the next day to help with with a problem with the monitoring. Since then there have been no problems. The communication has been helpful and clear and there have been no surprises. I would definitely recommend Upvolt.

I went to Upvolt Oxfordshire Ltd when the installer of my panels and inverter both went bust and I wanted a reputable and local firm to take on servicing my pv system when the inverter failed. Upvolt were incredibly helpful in taking over my system and coming and installing a new Solar Edge inverter. I really felt the electrician knew what he was doing and talking about and was worth paying maybe a little more for a reputable firm to do the work rather than the many cold-callers who keep ringing me up wanting to 'service my system'. The whole system is back up and running very well, and I wholeheartedly recommend this firm who know what they are doing!

Great people to deal with. The quote was competitive and the installation went exactly as promised. The scaffolders arrived the day before installation day and got everything prepared. On installation day the crew arrived on time and got straight to work. They finished mid afternoon and left everything tidy. Next day a van arrived to collect all the used packaging and rubbish and a couple of days later the scaffolding was taken down and everything left in good order.

Helpful to know.
A solar system is an ideal investment for homeowners eager to cut down on electricity costs while enjoying reliable, renewable energy. It’s also perfect for those committed to protecting the environment and reducing their carbon footprint, as solar power offers a clean and sustainable energy source that contributes to a greener planet.
A decade ago, solar panel systems were costly and less efficient, but today’s technology has transformed that landscape. Modern solar panel systems are not only a fraction of the price but also far more efficient, delivering greater energy output and faster returns on investment. With electricity prices soaring and price volatility on the rise, there’s never been a better time to gain independence from traditional power companies and lock in long-term savings with solar.
Your savings with an Upvolt solar panel system depend on various factors, including the size of your solar setup, battery storage capacity, feed-in tariff, self-consumption rate, household electricity prices, and the timeframe you consider (e.g., 20, 25, or 30 years). Since each home is unique, your savings potential is personalised and may vary based on future electricity price trends. Upvolt’s solar experts are here to calculate your tailored savings potential and show you how much you could save over time.
Most homes are well-suited for solar, but each property is unique. To find out how solar can work for your home, take a minute to fill out our online survey, receive a full system design from our team, and schedule a personalised consultation with one of our experts. We'll answer all your questions and help you determine the best setup for maximum efficiency and savings.
The time needed to install a solar system typically ranges from one to three days but can vary based on a few key factors, such as system size, roof condition, electrical setup, and local building regulations. Our team ensures a smooth, efficient installation process tailored to your home’s specific needs, so you can start enjoying the benefits of solar power as quickly as possible.
Solar PV systems are highly reliable and can last for decades with minimal maintenance. Key components like panels and inverters are built for long-term durability. Regular monitoring, occasional cleaning, and part replacements when needed will keep the system running smoothly. Solar panels perform well in diverse climates, from cold to hot or snowy conditions. Solar batteries, while built for longevity, typically last 10-15 years, requiring replacement midway through the life of the solar panels. Choosing a reputable installer and quality components ensures long-term performance.
Solar systems do not increase the risk of fire, and if a fire does occur, it can be safely extinguished following standard firefighting protocols. Clear safety guidelines enable firefighters to manage these situations effectively. Even with an active system, a fire can be put out using a full water jet from five meters away, or a spray jet from as close as one meter. Our micro-inverter systems use advanced safety features and operate on AC power, maintaining a low voltage in the circuit. In case of a grid failure, or off switch activation, our micro-inverters immediately stop generating power, leaving no residual power within 30 seconds.
Upvolt and its affiliates are fully accredited by MCS, NICEIC, CTSI, and HIES. We are proven to hold ourselves to the highest standards in the market by these institutions. MCS certifies and guarantees the quality of microgeneration installations and installers, including solar panel systems, while offering valuable consumer protection. NICEIC certification is a powerful indicator of safety, quality, and reliability when it comes to electrical work. HIES is a CTSI-approved Consumer Code that offers protection for renewable energy installations, including solar PV panels, batteries, and inverters. Please see our accreditations blog post for more information on the institutions themselves.
Customers agree that Upvolt is a high-quality installer with a rating of over 9.8/10 on CheckATrade based on over 300 customer reviews. With our end-to-end customer support we manger your solar system through its entire life; from design to installation, to monitoring and lifetime customer support.
Although there are no direct government subsidies specifically for solar PV systems and batteries for residential homeowners, there are various schemes and financial incentives that can help reduce the costs of these technologies: the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) allows you to earn money from your excess solar energy; ECO supports low-income households with energy efficiency measures, including solar PV in some cases; Zero-interest loans and green financing schemes can help spread the cost of installation; and 0% VAT on solar panel and battery installations for residential properties. EV Chargers, in some circumstances do have government support, and we at Upvolt ensure that you are making full use of any available financial support to reduce the net cost of your solar installation.
