By integrating solar with the renovation, the homeowner avoided duplicate scaffolding costs, achieved seamless installation, and optimised energy generation.

Graham, London

Kit: 16 panels, 2x 3.5 kWh Pylontech batteries

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.

William, West Sussex

Kit: 12 panels, 3.5 kWh Pylontech battery

Installation: Complex, 1 day

Roof: 4 roof faces, S & E facing, moderate slope

Motivations: Reduce energy bills

What really impressed me was how much care MakeMyHouseGreen took in customising everything to our home. Our roof isn’t straightforward, but they designed a system that works perfectly. The install was quick, tidy, and exactly as promised. It’s given us peace of mind and real savings.

Andrew, Wiltshire

Kit: 17 panels, 3.5 kWh Pylontech battery

Installation: Complex, 2 days

Roof: 2 roof faces, S & SE facing, moderate slope

Motivations: Environmental benefits

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!

Dennis, Essex

Kit: 16 panels, 2x 3.5 kWh Pylontech batteries, bird-proofing

Installation: Complex, 1 days

Roof: 1 roof faces, SW facing, gentle slope

Motivations: Reduce energy bills

The process was straightforward, the Guru explained everything really well and sent me an information pack right away. It was really easy to understand and smooth to get the installation booked. 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!

Andy, Cotswolds  

Kit: 16 panels, 3.5 kWh Pylontech battery, eddi diverter, bird-proofing

Installation: Complex, 2 days

Roof: 1 roof face, SW facing, moderate slope

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!!

Kevin, West Northamptonshire

Kit: 12 panels, 4.8 kWh Pylontech battery

Installation: Straight forward, 1 day

Roof: 2 roof faces, SE facing, flat and gentle

Motivations: Short pay-back period

Totally happy, I can already feel the difference and see it working! I really appreciated how MakeMyHouseGreen use the graph to show visually the usage and savings - having something interactive is very helpful. An excellent service.
