Fantastic experience from start to finish! The team at Spectrum provided clear, honest advice and helped me understand my solar options without any confusion. The installation was smooth, professional, and completed on time. The difference in my energy bills has been incredible!

Luke Jackson
Brilliant company to deal with. From the initial chat about my requirements to installation, I can’t fault one thing. I found Solar somewhat a minefield with some people trying to bamboozle me with information but Spectrum helped explain it in simple terms. The installation was faultless and they even called me 2 days later just to check everything was running OK. 10/10 team. Would definitely recommend.
