"A solar game changer"

From initial survey to installation and aftercare, the Encom energy team could not have been more helpful. The installation team were meticulous and had us up and running in a couple of days. The ability to be able to store the energy made by the solar panels in batteries or by charging overnight on the cheaper rate economy7 is a game changer especially now with the increased rates. I would highly recommend Encom energy.

"Highly Recommend"

ENCOM came recommended by a trusted friend and they were great. I had done some research on suppliers, panels, and battery options so from the first visit I was impressed. The technology was explained to me well. There was no issue with any questions and lots of options were discussed. The quote was detailed and clear. I went for 5KWH (14 panels) with 10KWH battery and heating eddi. The fitting was very professional and they guys who actioned it new there stuff. After fitting they answered all my questions well and came back out to help with eddi setup issue. I found out I can control the eddi also from an app.
It takes a while after that to get the registration for the mobile Control App, the paperwork to setup export and notification to NIE but Encom dealt with all that well and kept me in the loop. That said I have not actioned the export yet as I am still waiting for my meter to be changed to import/export by NIE. At time of writing end of November 2022 the queue is around 2.5 months but they have 90 days from notification to action this swap so I have a while to go. Once I get it I can the swap to E7 to charge the battery overnight if there is not enough sun.

Before you go down this route:
1. Know the profile of when people are in the house. It’s the first thing they ask.
2. Know your average KWH over a year from your bills
3. Check your roof orientation and make sure the south facing portion is big enough. I had some shade adjuster fitters for a small part of my setup. In any case the quote comes with detail of the suggested sun movement across the sky and possible output.
4. The solar panel spec says it looses 1% efficiency per year over the guarantee period. So if you looking at 20 years the output may drop by 20% so size the initial output to accommodate this.
5. You will need quite a space for the inverter and the battery box if you buy it. This space needs to be close to the Fuse box. In my case there was enough room above OK. I also opted to have my old fuse setup changed to latest circuit breaker technology.
6. Make sure setup has a spare spur to charge an electric car – unless you go for that option now.

"Great Installation"

Install team were very professional & friendly, all completed within a day with little inconvenience.

"The best solar panel installer in N…"

The best solar panel installer in N Ireland in my opinion. Everything went well and they are very innovative. Willing to answer all my questions and helped some of my friends too. Energy generation and eddi water heater working as well as predicted.
Only reason this wasn’t a 5 out of 5 was the delay in getting my paperwork done and lack of support in filling in very difficult forms for the NIE export registration

"Very good installation"

Very good installation. I got 17 solar panels and a 10kWh battery. All work was neat and tidy. The installation team were friendly.

"Encom review"

I found Encom quick and efficient both installing the solar panels and latterly the batteries. The workmen were tidy and quiet and the work seemed neat.
The company is excellent and I can highly recommend them.
My only concern was the wait to find out exactly how it worked. It was a long delay before I got the app on my phone. But the company says it is monitoring my installation and it is working well.
It should really sell itself more. This is exactly the time to invest in solar energy both because of world climate and politics.
