I would like to thank Shannon and Katie in helping with an enquiry in regards to solar panels fitted over 11 years ago. I had to provide a copy of a certificate which we did not have, also we had legal questions to provide to our solicitors due to the property being sold. I received everything that I requested within less than a couple of days, I was also emailed to ask if they could help me with anything else. They let me know that I could contact them at any time, if I required further assistance. They let me level of service and care was excellent, Thankyou so much for your help.

We have had a maintenance contract with A Shade Greener for a few years. If there are any issues with our solar panels they are quick to sort it out and always read the meters on time.

No need to worry about meter readings, ours has been placed somewhere completely inconvenient which means th readings are something we don’t need to worry about.
Francesca has always been helpful and has good contacts at the big energy suppliers if there are issues.
They caught an issue with the inverter just before th warranty was up, and the company sorted shortly after.
Overall highly recommend

Moved into a property in November 2025 with my 2 year old daughter and partner. Had nothing but issues with leaks from the roof, to the point all power had to be turned off due to water leaking into the fuse board. Along with other internal damages to the house (damp brickwork, damp plasterboard and other leaks). A new roof was needed on the property, a shade greener have solar panels on one half of the roof. And working along side them in trying to get a house liveable has been nothing but stress and as a company have been no help at all. I feel like I’m being held hostage by themselves over the removal of the solar panels from my property. They send out a list of requirements that the scaffolding must be, wanting photographic evidence of it all. Only to have someone turn up and refuse to even set a ladder up. The roof itself has cost me thousands, the scaffolding hundreds. And the cost just keep growing trying to work to these demands. Even after phone calls enquiring why the solar panels had been turned off, they still wanted photographs of the damage to the house (after these repairs had been done and photographs already sent). So they could decide if my case was an emergency or not, and then arrange a date for the removal. So now I’m left with a roof that has been half complete, a house surrounded by scaffolding, and having to refer back to them for another new date for a ‘removal’. How do you pride yourself on customer service and satisfaction
Shannon Davies was absolutely fantastic in assisting. She acted incredibly promptly/went above and beyond to ensure that matters were handled as quickly as possible. Thank you!

When asking Helen James general questions about the solar panels we have and smart meters, she was very informative and went over things in detail

We were surprised to receive communication from the maintenance team advising that the solar panels, which have been out of sight and out of mind for 14 years, were not working. After discussing the situation with them and arranging a maintenance visit, Craig arrived a few days later—on time, equipped with all the necessary tools and a calm, professional demeanor. He quickly assessed the situation, explained the issue clearly, and outlined the steps required to get the panels back in full working order. In no time at all, the inverter was replaced and the system was back to generating solar energy. Everything was tidied and packed away so neatly that you would never have known Craig had even been here. Top man!

I bought the household solar panels from A Shade Greener in 2011, and have received unwavering assistance from everyone involved there. In addition, my account is routinely dealt with by Francesca Staley who has personally been of great assistance whenever I've had a query. She is my "go to" person at A Shade Greener as I know I can rely on her to sort any problems out. Based on my experience with them, I would definitely recommend this company.

We are in the latter stages of an elderly relatives house sale & required copies of the documents provided by A Shade Greener when the original Solar Panel Installation was completed in 2015 (which had been mislaid). In less than 24 hrs Izabella Saldat, who dealt with our request, emailed back a full set of copies of the original documentation. She knew exactly what the solicitors required. Thank you for being so helpful & efficient.

Always very pleasant & prompt with the readings

The customer service is good with particular mention to receiving very good and helpful support from Francesca Staley when I had difficulties with my feed-in tariff supplier where Francesca stepped in to help resolve the problem. My readings to the feed-in tariff supplier are always sent in on time with a copy email with the readings sent to me. If I have any questions they are always answered in a timely manner.

Craig was the engineer that came to my Mother's house today. Craig has been to the house on a prior occasion and much like the first visit he was prompt, professional, extremely polite and courteous.
Thankyou Craig for taking the time to explain everything to my Mother, and not treating her like another pensioner who hasn't got a clue, we are very grateful to you.
