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.Posted on Google![]()

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.Posted on Google![]()

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!!!

If you’re aiming to cut down on your gas bills, installing a hot water diverter is a valuable option to explore. This device channels surplus energy to heat your hot water tank, offering an extra advantage. It not only decreases dependence on traditional energy sources but also presents a holistic approach to reducing overall energy costs.
By installing an EV charger with solar-charging capability, you can charge your vehicle using surplus solar energy. Benefit from free charging directly from the sun during daylight hours, or opt for charging your battery with cost-effective overnight electricity, ready for later use in powering your car.
