Highlights
"In Summary Skylar Solar are a customer focused team of experts, installing the best equipment to a high standard – couldn’t be happier I used them to become greener! Call them now! I started my solar journey with Andy Martin at Skylar Solar and he is the most knowledgeable and helpful guy I’ve ever worked with. He was so patient and answered every question I could think of and came up with several configuration ideas that other companies wouldn’t even consider. I got several other companies to quote me and they just didn’t impress me like Andy did! Install was quick and done in 8 hours!"
"A real pleasure to deal with everyone from Skylar Solar. After agreeing the system and price I was contacted by Devon to arrange convenient time to carryout survey the guys that turned up were very friendly and helpful. Devon then contacted me to arrange a convenient date to have scaffolding erected again both guys were very friendly and 2 days later Luke and Lewis arrived and installed the 16 Hyundai panels, Growatt hybrid inverter and 3 x 3.3kw Growatt batteries within the day they done a great job and left my house clean and tidy and removed all the packaging. I would strongly recommend Skyl"
"Great company - really organised and friendly admin team; quick, efficient, respectful engineers. There were some unforeseen difficulties beyond anyone's control, and Skylar handled this really well."

Smart checks
Before you hire an electrician
In England and Wales, notifiable electrical work (new circuits, a consumer unit, anything in a bathroom or kitchen) must by law be signed off under Part P of the Building Regulations — confirm they will handle that.
Prefer an electrician registered with a government-approved competent-person scheme (NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA) so they can self-certify the work meets the wiring regulations.
Insist on the Electrical Installation Certificate (or Minor Works Certificate) when the job is done — it is your proof the work is safe and compliant, and you will need it if you ever sell.
Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
Check any verified credentials, and that the business details independently check out.
