This year I decided that my wife and I would look into
reducing our energy consumption, we are high energy
users partially due to the fact we have a 3 kW heater in our
3000 gallon koi pond which I keep to a minimum of 16 c,
we also care for three young children who along with us
bathe daily and leave lights on !!.
My first project was to change every bulb in our house to
LED, this I could do myself.
Now this is where this company comes in, second phase.
All of the comments to follow are in my opinion and are
taken from the excellent service we have received to date.
I started my research on PV in early February and was
inundated with pushy companies saying buy now for all
sorts of reasons.
I
had a huge challenge to get the aesthetics right as my
wife was opposed to solar saying they look ugly, not the
case as you will see from the photographs attached to this
review.
My first point of contact was via the web site with Derek ,
a
very informed non pushy chap who had our best interests
at heart , I told him what I wanted, Derek arranged an
appointment time to suit and explained the principals of PV
in finite detail leaving no questions un answered .Next
stage was a visit from Mick the surveyor who drew the
plans and calculated the income that would be generated
with an approximate payback cycle of the installation
costs.The quote was given which was very competitive and
the full details of work to be carried out, very happy
deposit tendered and fit dates agreed.we then went on to
meet with all of the team at this company who are large
enough to cope and small enough to care.At every stage
my wife and I were kept informed as to the progress of the
installation and treated with total respect and courtesy, I
am quite an awkward and specific chap to deal with and
this company needed patience , they certainly showed
this.We are now proud owners of 15 x Solarworld 265 watt
all black panels, a SMA Sunny Boy 3600 inverter,an
immersion power reducer system ( to complicated for me
to explain )and a Sunny View monitor.
I cannot recommend this company highly enough as to
what they have done for us, they are a total credit to this
industry.If you need any more personal recommendation
then give them a call to get my contact number and I will
be happy to oblige.
Thank you to you all at the LITTLE GREEN ENERGY COMPANY
