  •  I found the way that my specific technical enquiry was dealt with very professionally and in a manner that cut out the "salesman jargon"  Colin gave me the service that I tottally understood and did not feel pressurised into buying Select Solars products even though I did purchase from them.   Would use Select solar everytime for anything in the Eco-Friendly world. Thank you Colin.  I had a technical enquiry that was dealt with by Colin over the telephone.  Very professional service and answered in terms that I could understand.

  •  "We have recently had solar panels installed by Select Solar Ltd and have been very pleased all round. We did have concerns about the appearance on the front of our home but using all black panels and a very neat install, they look fantastic! They are working really well and we were blessed with a lovely summer too! The immersion device sends surplus power to our hot water tank so we use nearly all the solar power we generate. With the online monitoring provided we can see just how much we are saving - and it has made a real impact on our bills. Thank you Colin and his team for a professional service. Highly recommended!"

All in all more than pleased with the buying experience and also with the informative email telling me that the item was back in stock and offering to put one aside, thank you, there are lots of companies that would learn a lot from yourselves.

  •  Buying a solar powered system for your home right now is a no-brainer. Besides saving money in the long term, I feel good about using renewable energy. Colin made our choice so easy and he never once tried to sell us a system that would cost a fortune and  bits we really did not need.  Clear and understandable and everything that suited OUR needs. 

    June 19 2017

  •  Julia Davidson  30 Jan2017 Most cost effective quote. Install is of high quality and they were good to work with. I recommend them if you are considering putting solar at your home. Would you recommend this installer to others? Yes

  •    8.4 kW grid-tied PV – Romford Essex ]   My wife and I chose Select Solar, to install a photovoltaic (PV) system after lengthy research and talking to other solar installers. What impressed us first was how easy it was to talk with Colin Howe and how knowledgeable he was with the current state of the solar industry. We had two requirements in reducing our electrical cost; find a way to reduce our daily demand and then create supplemental power that we would use in our house and feed back to the local electric grid.   Colin did a thorough electric evaluation of our house and how we live. He suggested that we first change out our halogen floods to light emitting diode (LED) bulbs. This change reduced our lighting wattage by 80% in our most used rooms and the bulbs will last more than 10 years. These bulbs not only drastically reduced the heating load where used, they also made it possible to decrease the number of solar panels to reach our goal of cutting our electric bill by nearly 50%.   Together we researched many options for the PV installation, including placement (roof or ground), manufacturer, warranties and the ecological impact during production of the PV panels, plus the converting of the direct current (DC) from the panels to alternating current (AC). Colin gave us many options and was very patient with our decision making process.   After we made our decisions, Colin  handled all the details, including the FIT’s paperwork  . We never felt that anything was overlooked. The installation went very smooth and we are now enjoying producing our own electricity and reducing our carbon footprint.   We highly recommend Select Solar to all our neighbours and friends. Thank you Colin and his team and Select Solar.   Yours sincerly,  Melissa and Dwight

    Sep 13 2018

  •  The product was advertised as a solar battery charger and on that basis I ordered it.On arrival I found that the solar panel was missing so I phoned the company only to be told that it no longer supplied.As a result of this misleading information I will not be using the company again. (Safebuy independent feedback). SelectSolarGadgets Response: First of all, we have offered the customer a full refund for his troubles. The item in question is the battery charger made by iSun. "iSun battery charger" at a quick glance might be interpreted as "solar battery charger", but unfortunately it isn't. It charges from the mains or car battery. It can also work with a solar panel if you have one (none included) and we do mention this in the product description.  We also recommend solar panels which would work with this charger. (We no longer supply the iSun solar panel which the customer is referring to). We've amended the product details to make all this much more clear.

  •  Very easy to place an order, and the delivery was very fast. The solar hats had the fans tucked into the cap, and had to be assembled onto the motor, which came as a surprise, but was extremely easy to do. (Safebuy independent feedback).

  •  Extraordinary short delivery time - I have never experienced this short delivery time from Far East before. (Safebuy independent feedback). 

    Aug 9 2018

  •  So far we are very happy with the panel. Just using it for first time in not very good weather conditions but it is charging the battery! We did ask for a longer lead and it was promised but arrived with standard length. Also stand is a bit flimsy but overall very pleased both with product and service. (Safebuy Independent Feedback). Select Solar Response: We are investigating what happened to the longer leads!

    Jul 28 2018

  •  Delievery charges appear a little steep, but the delivery was received the day after I ordered the item, so I cannot complain! I ordered a pack of 3 solar caps, and one was slightly off sync, but it was easy enough to unscrew the fan and realign it with the seam of the baseball cap. Overall, I'm really impressed. (Safebuy Independent Feedback). SelectSolarGadgets response: Unfortunately we had to increase our delivery charges because Royal Mail increased theirs (and we kept our increase as low as possible).

  •  I had to contact you by email and was pleased to hear back in a very timely fashion. It was a personal response and not a standard email or automatic reply. I was given all the assistance I required and was left with a feeling that I was a person and not just an order number to you. I have no problems recommending you highly. (Safebuy Independent Feedback)

  •  "We have been very pleased with the service that we have received from Select Solar. One of the deciding factors for us choosing Select Solar as our preferred supplier was that they provided us with jargon-free advice and guidance on the right installation for our needs. We were filled with confidence by their knowledge, expertise and desire to find a package that met all our requirements. They clearly communicated all the various stages to us and patiently guided us through the process in a polite and considerate manner. All the commitments which were made to us at the start have been fulfilled with the installation work being completed on time. The after-care service has also been excellent ensuring that the necessary paperwork with the utility company was completed so we were not left in the lurch. We would highly recommend Select Solar to anyone wanting to install solar panels – they are an efficient, professional and knowledgeable organisation dedicated to finding the right solution for their customer."

Restart journey 27 Feb,shipping to USA N & South then Australia, South East Asia and hope to take the Chinese by surprise some time in 2012/13 and yes your panels are still giving good service, have just re stuck them, this time with Silicone mastic, should be good for a few more years/miles.

  •  Thanks to Select Solar I am pretty much self sufficient now. The sun is free and I am using it to my best advantage. I still have my generator for emergencies, should they arise; but it is simply not used anymore. This just remains me to thank SelectSolar for providing a great solution to my carp fishing solar needs. You're highly recommended.
