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.

The Cost of Solar Panel Installation in Berkshire
Discover solar panel installation costs in Berkshire. Learn about benefits, pricing, and financial incentives.
11 Feb 2025Helpful to know.
Many rural homes in areas like the Berkshire Downs or Lambourn Valley have larger rooftops, barns, or open land, making solar panels perfect for higher-output systems or ground-mount installations. Rural properties also benefit from solar by improving energy independence, especially in areas where grid access may be limited or unstable.
Absolutely. With above-average energy costs and long commutes, many Berkshire homeowners are investing in solar to reduce utility bills and improve long-term financial security. Solar systems also pair well with EV charging, making them ideal for households looking to electrify their transport while cutting energy costs.
Most homes in Berkshire can install solar panels without planning permission, thanks to permitted development rights. However, if your property is listed, in a conservation area (like Windsor town centre or parts of Newbury), or you're planning a ground-mounted system, you may need to apply. Our team is familiar with local council requirements across West Berkshire, Bracknell Forest, and the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead and can advise you on the next steps.
Not necessarily. Modern solar panels — like the all-black monocrystalline modules Upvolt installs — are designed to be sleek and unobtrusive. They suit both contemporary homes and traditional Berkshire properties. If you’re in a conservation area or want low-visibility options, we can design a system that works with your roof style and planning constraints.
For many properties, yes — especially if your roof has good sun exposure. While solar won’t generate peak output 24/7, combining panels with battery storage helps you use stored energy during the evenings. In areas with rising grid costs like Maidenhead or Crowthorne, going largely off-grid is becoming more achievable.
