Alternative Energy Reviews (4/5)

Very efficient company, we’re in and done in 2 days which was brilliant, even looks after the paperwork for the Seai grant.

The solar panels were a great purchase for us, I was impressed with the quality of the service. They provided helpful information. I had no issues with alternative energy. I highly recommended the company

Easy to deal with, flexible and professional. They were also pretty competitive on price. Would definitely recommend (in fact I already have!)

Very punctual, neat and tidy. Very impressed with the work and the panels are going well a month later. Office staff really helpful and pleasant.

Very professional service , Very happy with the installation, The safety file was issued to a very high standard. Would highly recommend and have done so.

Great service from j&r electrical Very punctual tidy work And prompt reply’s to queries Before and after fitting

Efficient and professional. Alternative Energy did a great job from initial survey and quote to final documentation. Our solar panels were fitted to the milking parlour and cow shed rooves. A crew arrived to fit the panels after the morning milking and worked until the job was completed - so the evening milking ran a bit late, but there was no other disturbance to our schedule. The job was completed to a high standard, and the lads tidied up after themselves before they left. Unlike many other contractors, the work did not drag on. We applied for a TAMS grant for the solar panels, and I have to say that Alternative Energy went above and beyond in helping me collate all the right documents, in the right format to present to the Department of Agriculture. This wasn't an easy task and I thank Corinna and Jerome for their support with this. It's a great pity that the Department of Agriculture don't work with the same efficiency and professionalism as Alternative Energy. We now look forward to mitigating the extortionate increases in energy costs by producing our own solar power to help power the milking machine and to cool the milk in summer.

Everything handled quickly and efficiently. All questions answered, even well after the install. Highly recommended.

A great company to deal with from start to finish they were efficient and provided an excellent service I have no hesitation in recommending them Eileen Killarney

I had a good experience from start to finish. Any questions and request I had were addressed quickly and I was very happy with the knowledgeable, professional and friendly approach of all the Alternative Energy staff. I would have no hesitation in recommending Alternatve Energy to any potential customer.

Great company, excellent highly quality work from all the guys who completed my solar install, and when I had some post install questions they were answered immediately

I had a good experience from the initial site survey to the complete installation. While I was somewhat concerned with the undertaking to install panels on my roof my concerns and worries were quickly satisfied with the professional approach of Alternative Energy. the complete installation was executed without a hitch and I found the professional knowledge of the team to be of great comfort. Both Jerome and Ronan conducted the installation with calm and a good combined approach. I would have no hesitation in recommending this organisation to any potential customer or organisation. also I must state that the admin function operates in tandem with the team and leaves the grant application seamless.

Great service with great value solar panels installed all in one day. We are delighted with the end product.

All in all the experience was excellent. That said there was a misunderstanding at the beginning concerning pricing and system manufacture but 'obviously' that was corrected :-) . Installation schedule was as planned with no unscheduled delays. The installers were professional and social and helpful with all querries and concerns.

Alternative Energy are a very professional company to deal with, look no further if you’re thinking of investing in solar panels. Jerome, Ronan and their team carried out the installation to the highest standard. Would have no hesitation recommending Alternative Energy.

It’s been a seemless effective operation to get my panels up and running. Excellent on site work.

I'm not somebody who regularly writes reviews, but in this case I believe that AlternativeEnergy deserve credit for the work which they completed for us in June this year. A solar install is a considerable investment, so we had several companies call out to our house to provide a quotation. Many of these seemed to be more interested in getting the job quoted as quickly as possible instead of really working with us to understand our requirements and how best they could be met. We were reassured by the approach which Jerome and Ronan took on their initial visit, they listened carefully and provided practical advice in terms of system capacity, benefits and cost of adding a battery and optimizers and the how the wiring could be routed within the house. They provided a competitive quotation, so we decided to award them the contract. The system was 25x 430w Jinko solar panels, 8KW Huawei 3 phase inverter and a 15kw Huawei 3 module battery. The solar panels were installed in two days, very neat job - the roofers cleaned up after themselves. The inverter, battery and associated switches, etc were installed in another couple of days, so all up the job took 4 days to complete. Jerome was very responsive to tweaking our design, we added an extra panel to improve how the array looked in the front of our house on the day of the install. We also added an extra 5kW battery module, which was paid for by the drop of VAT rate to zero for our job since it was originally quoted for in Feb. The electricians were happy to take feedback on battery and switch placement, cable routing, etc so we ended up with a system which is really neat and tidy. The SEAI carried out an inspection after the install (we were chosen at random) and the inspector commented that the system was really well installed. Since the initial commissioning has been completed the system has run without any issues, our house has imported very little power from the grid, using the battery to serve our power demand in the evening/night time. The full PV grant was paid out by the SEAI recently without any issues, thanks to all the work which Corinna put into diligently preparing and submitting all the documentation required. All up a truly 5 star experience!
