Richard's Journey to lower bills and cleaner energy with solar
🏠 The Challenge:
Richard and his wife's village of Barking has no mains gas connection, leaving neighbours reliant on oil. The couple had inherited an ageing Night Store 100 electric system — slow to reheat, and serviced by just one engineer in the entire country. The risk of being left without heating or hot water for weeks made a full transition to renewables not just appealing, but urgent.
🚀 The Solution:
Solar panels and a 9.6kWh Pylon battery were installed alongside a WPL25 ASHP in one large coordinated project, with up to eleven Greenscape engineers on site simultaneously. The battery is used to make the most of cheaper night-rate energy, and a smart meter was subsequently added to unlock export payments. The installation teams — Ethan and Maria in particular — were singled out for their professionalism and knowledge.
🔋 The Results:
Overall energy bills are significantly reduced compared to the old system. The couple had only one competitor quote — from Octopus, who offered a desktop price without an on-site survey — and felt Greenscape's room-by-room survey gave them far greater confidence. An EV charger is already on the horizon.
💡 Richard’s Advice:
Do your own research — choose a company that will provide the outcome you want, rather than a system bought on price alone.
The two technicians, Luke & Cam arrived as scheduled, were courteous and respectful. They carried out the work as requested and invited me to inspect what they had done.
Luke also clarified and guided me through a particular aspect on the Solis App.

As usual, Greenscape customer service resolved my query quickly and professionally. I had a query about winter settings for my batteries which Chloe resolved for me and then sent a follow up email to confirm all is in place. Thank you!

Harry fixed a persistent problem we've had for years. Over the last 4 years, a number of engineers had a go at fixing this but without success. Very happy with Harry and the knowledge he had of the Mitsubishi system

Both Brandon and young apprentice Ellis arrived on time to install my long awaited Pylontech battery. What can I say, they were very smart, professional and most polite. Greenscape have a good team here, please retain them and do pass on my best regards to them both. Cheers Paul

Chloe was very helpful with my winter settings, my app wasn’t the same as the written instructions but she just did it for me and then checked to see it was all working correctly.

I have used Greenscape Energy to install Solar Panels and Tesla Powerwall batteries and I can confidently state that they are an excellent company to deal with. I recently had a minor problem with the batteries not being charged during the cheap rate. Greenscape could not have been more helpful and put me in contact with Tesla to resolve the problem. Fantastic service from a professional company.

Michaela, dealt with my finance query in a professional, efficient manner, and placated my fears that the progress on my solar system would be paused until the return of the surveyor from holiday. Good customer care. Thank you

I have been very impressed with the service I received from Greenscape. The initial survey was very professionally done by Andrew and I was pleased that he convinced me not to have more panels than necessary. The team that installed the battery and inverter were excellent and very pleasant to deal with. The system is up and running and there have been no complications. I thoroughly recommend Greenscape.

I arranged to have solar panels and a battery installed by Greenscape via OVO Energy. From start to finish, the service has been excellent. From the survey, to the panel installation and battery installation, every team member has been professional and very friendly. The after sales have kept in contact to make sure everything has gone smoothly. Couldn't fault Greenscape.
