Company description
SunGift Solar specialise in the design and installation of high quality, efficient renewable energy systems tailored to your individual requirements. Renewable energy systems are very site specific and can vary considerably depending upon your needs. Choosing the appropriate renewable energy system is essential to ensure that it is efficient and cost effective.
We offer an independent and personal service that you can rely on for all your requirements, with full accreditation for peace-of-mind and a dedicated team of fully trained and qualified installers working with the highest-quality products.
How we work
Company Type: Installer,
Markets we work in: Retrofit, Renovation, New build, Domestic, Community, Public sector, Private sector,
Site visits and quotes: After initial contact we will arrange a suitability survey of your property. This is to allow us to discuss your requirements and assess the most suitable technology for you.
Using the information gathered we will design a system according to the property, your requirements and budget.
We will then provide you with a quotation.
Should you require applying for a grant we will guide you through the application process.
On acceptance of the grant and quotation we will then ask for a deposit, after which we will arrange an installation date with you, normally, 4-6 weeks in advance.
After sales service: Once your Renewable Energy System has been installed one of our engineers will take you through the system, showing you how to use it and the different safety features. You will be provided with various documents, including commissioning certificates, warranties, a user guide and instructions on how to claim your grant.
We are always happy to answer any queries customers may have about their energy systems.

Solar thermal panels working well and saving heating costs, unfortunately the costs are negated by the ridiculous annual service charges. How can £150 per annum be justified by 15 minutes of service?…
Company Response
Thank you for your feedback. We recommend that solar thermal systems are serviced every 2 years. Our service charge is £120 + VAT. We feel that it is very important to have a solar thermal system serviced regularly but this is non-obligatory and customers are absolutely free to shop around for a cheaper service if they wish. The industry standard for solar thermal services is £250 + VAT. Your system is a combined system providing hot water and space heating assistance using two separate banks of evacuated tube panels with specialist control systems. Despite being far from standard we have charged you for a standard system service as a gesture of goodwill. We are very sorry that you feel our charges were disproportionate but we are thrilled that the system is working well and saving you money on your heating bills.”
