Derek's Journey to lower bills and cleaner energy with solar
“We have been very pleased with it — we have already recommended Greenscape.”
🏠 The Challenge:
Derek had been considering solar for a while before a Solar Together Cambridgeshire leaflet prompted him to get in touch. Keen to reduce energy costs and lower his environmental impact, his main challenge had simply been finding a reputable company — the assurance of the ST scheme gave him the confidence to move forward.
🚀 The Solution:
Derek's home was fitted with a 9.6kWh Pylon battery system alongside 17 panels across two arrays, positioned 90 degrees apart to maximise the energy curve throughout the day. Despite scaffolding needing to go up and down in a single day due to a public footpath, the team handled it without issue. Any early technical problems were resolved quickly, and with intentions to disconnect from gas entirely, they had an Air Source Heat Pump installed a month later.
🔋 The Results:
From March to October, Derek's home runs entirely on solar and stored energy. In 2024, the system generated 5,172kWh, exporting 54% back to the grid. The original 12-year payback was calculated at just 17p per unit, meaning the real-world ROI is now expected considerably sooner.
💡 Derek’s Advice:
Put in as much as you can afford, for both solar and batteries.
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.
