Professional installation and first-class support We've had two engagements with Kimble - the first, when they performed the initial installation of 12 panels and a battery at the end of 2024, and the second to add a second battery, a gateway device (keeps the power on when the grid fails) and a Zappi EV charger. Immediately after the second installation I wrote to Kimble, saying: "I want to recognise the skill and professionalism of 'A' (name removed for privacy) who was onsite for the whole installation. He kept us informed of the progress, consulted us on questions of device placement, cable routing and the like, and was a pleasure to work with. He was ably supported by other team members, so thanks also to 'B', 'J1', 'J2' and 'M'" In the aftermath Kimble has continued to provide excellent technical support. Brilliant company to work with!Posted on Google![]()

We had been thinking about installing a solar set up for some time, and KimbleTech came very well recommended by our neighbours and by a friend who used to work with them. The information was really good before the installation, and the installation itself was done quickly and efficiently. The after sales info was also very good and the team were helpful with helping us to decide which tariff to go for with our supplier. All in all we are very pleased with the kit, and we now have a new hobby watching the app. I wish we had gone for one or two less panels and got a second battery instead, as we have since realised that might have been a good idea. However, we will save up and get one in the future at some point. Possibly not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for and the set up has so far been faultless.Posted on Whichtrustedtraders![]()

Excellent service and life changing solar installation. Kimble did a very good job on our solar and battery installation. But most importantly for us, their after care has been excellent. They are always available when we need help with advice on making the best from our system. It is already reaping financial rewards and we are doing our bit for the planet.Posted on Google![]()

Excellent service from the first conversation to aftercare We had 13 solar panels, a battery and an inverter installed by KimbleTech in September, and our experience has been excellent throughout. Rob looked after us on the sales side and was professional, attentive and very helpful. He checked in regularly throughout the process, and we always felt well supported. The installers did a superb job, with everything fitted neatly and the site left very tidy. The aftercare has been equally impressive, particularly the guidance on charging our EVs and making sense of the cheaper overnight electricity tariffs. We’ve just sent our certificates to our electricity supplier and hope to start benefiting from export payments soon. Although the system has only been installed a short time, our bills have already reduced and everything is going really well. A huge thank you to Rob, Benji, Bec and the whole KimbleTech team. We’d happily recommend them.Posted on Whichtrustedtraders![]()

I just want to say a massive thank you to the team at Kimble. They have been amazing throughout the whole process. I approached four companies for quotes. One is a massive, well-known energy provider, but they did not even bother to send someone out to do an actual survey, and provided a very half-hearted proposal that doesn't remotely address our needs. Another company is basically a one-man band, who put together a proposal but then disappeared after I asked for clarification on a couple requirements. The third is a company comparable to Kimble in size - they did a survey but took 2+ months to prepare a proposal..... and by that time Kimble has almost got the whole system up and running! Yes - from start to finish, it took barely more than 2 months from the initial survey, presentation of the proposal, DNO application, then finally the installation. The team has been efficient, responsive and transparent every step of the way. I now have a 7kW system which I am very happy with. I want to thank Arlo, Rachel, Bec, and Rob in particular for all their help. Whenever I had questions, they have been super quick to come back to me. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kimble to anyone looking for help for their solar needs! Thanks again!!!Posted on Google![]()

I have had Kimble Solar install Air2Air heat pumps, solar panels and batteries. I can totally recommend Kimble, all of their trades have been excellent and ensured a high quality result. The Air2Air (air conditioning) required holes to be drilled in each of the rooms. The installers cleared up after themselves and no further vacuuming was required. A very neat installation. The solar panel installers did a neat job centring the panels on each roof space and attaching anti-bird netting closing the gaps between panels and roof. The electricians installing the inverter and battery stacks and wiring everything up did a neat job. The equipment is neatly laid out and the wiring between it all and the consumer units is very neat and tidy. The technical design person was very patient and took into account my requirements and changing views on what the emergency power supply outlet from the inverter should power. The final result is exactly what I wanted.Posted on Whichtrustedtraders![]()

North Oxfordshire customer Having looked at solar in the autumn of 2025 I couldn’t decide which company to go with so I dropped the idea for the time being. In early 2026 I did another search for solar companies and was recommended 3 companies to look at including Kimble Solar which had been awarded Which? 2025 renewable installer of the year. This was where the Kimble journey started. An appointment was made with Brent in February who spent several hours doing a complete survey, including a drone of the roof and a presentation of what could be done including costs and potential production and returns from the system. For my consumption, it was suggested that 8 panels would suffice but I decided to fill the roof with 14 panels along with 6Kwh inverter and a 9.04Kwh battery. Scaffold went up by Maguire’s Scaffolding and the installation took place in mid April. Jason and Manny were on the roof and Ash and Mark installing the electrical work. All was completed by mid afternoon so it was up and running. Everyone was hard working leaving everything tidy on completion and they were all pleasant people to have around. It is now 4 months since the installation and it is producing far more than Brent’s calculation but it has been clear and sunny. The office team were always available keeping me informed all the way through even beyond installation and nothing was too much trouble. Everyone involved from start to finish were excellent. I therefore have no hesitation in recommending all at Kimble Solar

Explore a showcase of our craftsmanship by our expert solar panel installers in Berkshire. With years of expertise in the renewable energy field, our Berkshire solar panel team consistently delivers customised installations, revolutionising energy usage for property owners. Discover our methodology below:
In Berkshire, this customer was fortunate to have a single-storey extension, allowing them to maximise their flat roof space with solar panels! The Kimble Solar team excels in installing stunning flat roof solar panel arrays, expertly angled to capture the most sunlight possible. With this innovative installation, the customer not only enhanced their property’s visual appeal and embraced sustainability through solar energy but also made a wise investment in reducing their energy bills.



The typical lifespan of a solar panel system is around 25 to 30 years. However, this does not mean that the panels stop producing electricity after this time; it simply means that their energy production might decrease to below what manufacturers guarantee as their optimal output. Many systems continue to function efficiently long after this period, albeit at a slightly reduced capacity.
At Kimble Solar, we work with only the best brands who are producing panels with the best long-term efficiency. Many are guaranteed by warranty to lose only 20% of their efficiency over 25 years, meaning they are still operating at 80% efficiency after this length of time.
Contact us today to learn more about the long-term benefits of solar panels and how they can meet your energy needs.
Solar batteries store excess electricity generated by solar panels during peak sunlight hours, allowing this energy to be used later, such as during the night or on cloudy days. This not only helps in maintaining a consistent power supply but also reduces reliance on the main energy grid, enhancing energy independence.
If you’re interested in adding battery storage to your solar system or have questions about how solar batteries can improve your energy efficiency, our team is here to help.
Reach out to discuss how solar battery storage can be integrated into your existing or new solar system.
This depends on what you choose for your home, but generally, average systems cost £8,000 and up, with an average installation cost of £14,000. However, every home is unique, as is the requirements and goals of the homeowner. So our team at Kimble Solar will work with you to find the best solution for you.
It’s also worth noting that there are finance packages available to help you pay for your system if required.
