I first heard about Icarus Solar Energy through a trusted electrician who had recently installed an electric car charger for me. When I mentioned I was considering solar panels, he recommended them without hesitation, and that kind of referral from a professional I already trusted carried a lot of weight.
I’d already been looking into the potential savings of installing solar and was also mindful of doing my part for the climate. It wasn’t just about cutting costs — it was about making a more sustainable choice for the future.
When choosing a solar installer, price was definitely a factor. But beyond that, I wanted someone trustworthy — a team that would complete the work to a high standard and had been personally recommended. I also appreciated that warranty options were clearly discussed, which gave me added peace of mind.
Icarus Solar Energy stood out because of that strong word-of-mouth reputation. Hearing positive feedback from people who had actually used them helped me feel confident I was making the right decision.
The installation itself was quick and efficient. All debris was removed, and the team gave me a clear, helpful walkthrough of how to use the mobile app to monitor my energy usage. I’d been concerned about how much wiring would be visible, but I was pleasantly surprised — everything was colour-matched to the house and tucked away discreetly. The battery was installed in the cellar, with wiring run cleanly through the wall, meaning no disruption inside the main house. If you look at my home, you’d struggle to even spot where the system is.
Since the installation, my electricity bills have dropped, and I’m now receiving payments from my energy supplier for the electricity I export back to the grid. I check the app often — it gives me not only usage stats, but also an ongoing update on how much I’m reducing my carbon footprint. That’s a great feeling.
I was so impressed that I’ve already recommended Icarus to my neighbour — they’ve now had their panels installed too.
From start to finish, the experience has been excellent. The team were professional, clean, tidy, reliable, and easy to trust. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Icarus Solar Energy to anyone thinking about going solar.
