South London Solar Solutions for Purley’s Future








Posted on Amir ChaudhryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service received from Ryan and his team. We had 42 solar panels, inverter and 2 batteries installed at our Club House during some horrendous weather conditions. The team worked through these conditions and had our system up and running within 3 days. Very professional, clean and tidy - would happily recommend. Although it’s only been 1 month since the install, savings are already being recognised.Posted on Suyaraj ThiruTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very friendly and professional team, very supportive when needed support and troubleshooting .. they have done excellent work to install Solar system in my house..Posted on Paul DonnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Professional and cost effective, all certificates provided making an easy transition to Solar tariff. After sales back up makes setting up easy and efficient. Definitely recommend.Posted on Chris ButcherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had an EV wall-charger installed by the team. Brilliant experience from start to finish, and at a great price. Our installers were Callum and Jack, great guys. The install only took a few hours and you wouldn't know they had ever been here - apart from the perfectly positioned wall-charger outside. I strongly recommend you give Samso a call if you're thinking of getting an EV wall-charger!Posted on Freddie EldridgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had such a great experience from start to end and continued support since with Samso Solar. The initial service to design the solar panel arrays was brilliant. The installation team were fantastic, managed to set up 4 arrays on 3 different roofs all in a day, and they were helpful and friendly throughout the job. Finally and most importantly the team have been on hand for any queries post the install, in order to ensure I was happy with the finished product, and understood the app to its fullest. They were quick to resolve a minor fault having been monitoring the system themselves without me having to get involved. As an additional bonus they also came out as the most reasonably priced, providing the same panel with better warranties than you’ll find with most other companies (trust me I did my research - ignore the adverts you see on Instagram - these guys are the best and experts in their field). I would recommend to anyone wanting to start their solar journey or move away from someone who isn’t providing the service they thought they were buying in to.Posted on Mary GoldsmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Right from the initial contact through to the support after the installation the Samso team has been thorough, conscientious and professional. Their pricing is competitive and their manner and attitudes excellent. They've also been patient when dealing with our many queries about our new system. I have no hesitation recommending them.Posted on Sean DaisleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Samso solar has been a pleasure. The boys who install the panels are a great team and a credit to Ryan and his team. Looking forward to working with them in 2025.Posted on Peter CurleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. highly recommend Samso Solar ,couldn't beat their price,professionaly installed in one day by polite and tidy crewPosted on Vasfi ÖztürkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very happy with the service from Samso. Callum, Mickey, Jack & Harrison did a great job.Posted on Stephen DantonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A seamless and transparent process from start to finish. Michael and Harrison who installed the panels and Callum the electrician who connected everything up and commissioned it, were the best contractors we have seen on site for a very long time. Extremely conscientious and professional, they kept us completely informed throughout and worked very hard to complete the job. Not forgetting of course the Samso team themselves who organised everything and ensured that things went to plan. A great job!
