Customer Success: Real homeowners' bespoke green energy journeys
In 2024, a homeowner in Whitstable rebuilt their home and sought MakeMyHouseGreen to design a custom sustainable energy solution to maximise solar potential, reduce grid reliance, and align with their renovation timeline. By integrating solar with the renovation, the homeowner avoided duplicate scaffolding costs, achieved seamless installation, and optimised energy generation.

Installation: Straightforward, 1 day
Roof: 1 roof face, SE facing, gentle slope
Motivations: Reduce energy bills
The first thing people ask me when I tell them about my solar panels is "how long before it's paid for itself", but they never ask that when you fit a new combi-boiler or buy a washing machine. I went into this not as an investment, but as a way to give less money to the Electric Companies and to be more environmentally friendly. I've had my system for just under a year and they’re generated a total of 3022KwH, my usage for the year is 3009KwH! My monthly average bill should have been £85, but with solar and factoring in export payments, it averages out at £25 a month (that includes the £15 a month standing charge!) I’m very happy with MakeMyHouseGreen and the complete service they provide from consultation to installation, and I’d definitely recommend them if you’re after an ‘all under one roof’ service.

The thing I liked about your company is that there was a lot of communication and the fitters were absolutely brilliant! I got 5 quotes and I aimed for the one I was most comfortable with and obviously chose MakeMyHouseGreen. I’m effectively self-sufficient now, which is pretty impressive and have recommended you to someone who has also used your service! It felt more genuine than a lot of other companies. I’m chuffed to bits about it, I love the data you can see on your smartphone, all in all, a brilliant experience!

My questions were answered straight away to me and were made really clear. There was always someone who came back to me. I’m extremely satisfied and have recommended friends who are looking into Solar with you!

Motivations: Be self-sufficient
We chose to go ahead with MakeMyHouseGreen over three other quotes because of how friendly they were, their timescale seemed immediate, the prices were fair and they were able to give us everything we wanted. Since installation, we're almost entirely off grid, so of course that means the bills have dropped dramatically which is great!!
