 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Josh from HelpInU Solar was excellent throughout our journey to install solar, battery, gateway and an EV charger. Understood exactly what we wanted and designed the system to make it look great. Liam and Anthony sorted the roof and were only too happy to show the excellent tile notching, glad and bird proofing. Sam did an absolutely fantastic job with the electrics. Such a tidy install, tested and commissioned without trouble. Excellent team that I honestly highly recommend.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Plymouth get enough sun for solar panels to be worthwhile?

Yes. Plymouth's coastal position means it benefits from strong solar irradiance and above-average sunshine hours for the UK — typically around 1,550–1,650 hours per year. Modern solar panels generate electricity from daylight rather than direct sunshine alone, meaning your system will produce energy year-round even on overcast Devon days.
