We were looking for someone reasonably local in Buckinghamshire to supply and install a domestic battery to a 60-yr old bungalow which has solar hot water heating but is not suitable for solar PV panels. Instead we wanted the battery to take in power overnight at low cost and use it during the day when it would cost a lot more. As an EV user I was already on Octopus Intelligent Go tariff which works well for me.  Kimbletech were able to provide a good quotation for a suitable system at a price that looked to be reasonable – and their work to install the system was very professional.

Excellent from start to finish

      I was recommended Kimble Solar by a neighbour and they have been brilliant from the start. Not only did we want to expand the number of solar panels and battery storage units we had, we also needed to downgrade a 200A CT meter which was causing us issues. They were flexible on timings as the downgrade was more complex than initially thought, they explained the process in detail and were indispensable in liaising with a very well known energy company regarding the meter change. The installation of the solar panels went without a hitch and the whole team were professional and respectful throughout their time on site. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

They're not the cheapest around, but I chose them because I value good customer service.
I haven't been disappointed. I needed some technical advice in order to get the best out of my system; that was all provided expeditiously.

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!

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.

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.

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.
