Tom's Story

A Local Installer Who Does Everything

When you call Solent Solar, you get Tom and his small team. Not a call centre, not a sales team, not a different firm at every stage. Tom answers the phone and comes to your home for the survey, then he and his team design your system, install it on your roof, and are there for aftercare.

Tom founded Solent Solar because he believed homeowners deserved a better experience -- one where you deal with the same small, knowledgeable team from start to finish. As an MCS-certified installer based in Southampton, Tom knows the local area inside out and takes pride in every single installation.

Tom exclusively partners with three industry-leading brands -- SigEnergy, Fox ESS, and GoodWe -- so he can recommend the right solution for every home and budget.
