Scanning the Internet for solar companies can be a bit like searching the desert for sand. So how do we manage to stand out? Well, we’re MCS Certified, Regulated by the RECC and the NIC, we use DAWWI for our deposit protection scheme, But we’re quite sure its our 100% 5* star google rating that does it.
Billy Sweeney founded the company in June 2021, after having worked in the industry for many years. Acquiring invaluable experience along the way, as well as completing his electrical qualifications and courses specialising in solar. He thought that the industry lacked honest, credible installers, taking pride in their work, while offering the very best product and aftercare for customers looking to save money on their energy bills. For the last few years Billy and his team have been subcontracting for some of the biggest companies in the UK.
Making the transition from sub contracting to dealing direct with the consumer has been a long process, for more than one reason. One of the most important things for us here at Southern Solar and Electricals is good workmanship and customer experience.
We didn't want to run before we could walk and we didn't want to put ourselves in a position where we'd let the customer down.
Fortunately this has given us the strongest foundations, and today were proud to say that we only take our own work and we rely solely on referrals and word off mouth for the majority of our installations.
Southern Solar and Electricals have three main ambitions for the next few years.
- To grow organically, whilst putting the customer first.
- To remain a 5* customer reviewed company through good workmanship, and outstanding aftercare.
- Become a recognised local household name.

Thanks.Posted on Diane SkinnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Although Billy hasn’t done any work for me, he gave his advice and time over the phone for free, and pointed me in the right direction to sort my problem out. Thank youPosted on David StocksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Billy and his team came to remediate a botched PV installation. Communication was excellent and arrived at agreed time. He clearly explained all the issues and how they would be rectified (total reinstall and roof repair) and got on with the job in hand. Would use southern solar again and quite happily refer them to others. Thanks Billy!Posted on Russell KnapeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James, James and Danny arrived promptly at 7.30 to complete an install started by a previous company (long, painfull story) and very quickly appraised the job in hand and set to work. Their work rate was amazing and the installation extremely neat and tidy. The three guys were very friendly, polite, knowledgeable and were willing to explain what was happening throughout the installation. I would unreservedly recommend Southern Solar and Electricals to anyone looking for a solar installationPosted on wojtasl83Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Brilliant bunch a lads, couldn’t recommend high enoughPosted on Antique VeganTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This team of 3 were completely organized, polite, friendly, helpful and honest during our solar and battery installation last week. This included a call the day before and starting early to get the solar and battery install done in a (full) day. They were thorough and checked and/or advised at each step of the process. Excellent customer service and professionalism all around!Posted on Richard PaleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys were excellent. Billy, James and James installed panels, inverter and battery for us. They arrived prompt at 7:30 and were all done by 2pm. Great attention to detail for a neat and tidy looking setup. A friendly and happy team working well together even on a pretty miserable wet day in parts. Keen to make sure I was kept aware or involved in the installation decisions and gave a good overview and training session at the end. A pleasure to have them doing the installation. Thoroughly recommended.
