Orchid Energy Ltd – Solar Installation in UK

During 2025 we looked into a pv systems , contacted several local installers close to home, none actually turned up. I came across Orchid Energy, from the start they provided excellent answers to my many questions, references from previous installations , which we spoke to . A system was designed, and installed in December 2025 . We have to say to date the system , and support provided by Richard and the team has been very good. Already the system is reducing our electricity costs , so much so that last week we had them back to install a second 9.5kw battery, and soon a second inverter. We would highly recommend them for any PV solutions

Richard was excellent on all fronts. He was pleasant to deal with, answered a never-ending stream of questions from me and (quite important for me) was a LOT cheaper than the national installers. We ended up getting a 10kWh battery plus panels and an EVCP installed in a way that hid the battery from sight, which was nice. This involved digging a trench, so extra cost and time, but it was all done in a couple of days in the end. We talked on the phone and I sent pictures over, so I was a little worried that something would come up on site, but it all worked out fine in the end. Richard was probably my 10th quote after a year of searching/considering going ahead. He had the next gen GivEnegy battery, which I’m glad I went for at the time, and all the options/prices were clear from the start. Would highly recommend as a low cost but also high quality option for a solar+battery installation.

I’ve worked with Orchid energy many times over the years and can’t recommend them highly enough. They have helped me with a wide range of jobs, from troubleshooting and fixing electrical issues to installing CCTV, alarms, a fireplace, home entertainment systems, and running network cables throughout the house. Every job has been completed to an exceptionally high standard. They are knowledgeable, reliable, and always takes the time to explain things clearly, offering practical advice and smart solutions. In recent years, They have expanded their services to include solar panel installations and electric car charging, and the same level of expertise and professionalism applies there as well. It’s been great to continue working with someone who keeps up with new technology and delivers consistently excellent results. I trust their work completely and would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled, dependable, and forward-thinking electrician.
