AK Solar Reviews 

I chose AK Solar based on a recommendation and I was not disappointed . Very friendly and easy to deal with. Efficient at setting us up as micro gen. On the day of the install the team where here at 8 am - installed 16 panels and all the supporting equipment and were done by 3pm with system up and running and I could see on the app that we were already providing surplus to the grid. Install was clean, neat and well explained. Our water heater needed minor tweaking post install and they were back out on site quickly. Highly recommend!

Like other folks I spent some time reviewing different companies and had people come to my house to sell me the dream solar panel solution!! However speaking to Eric in sales he just asked what I wanted and what were the biggest concerns for me - explained what would what work and what products they have that would help solve the problem efficiently. Based on that I decided to progress with AK Solar.

The roofers arrived early said hello and got stuck in - Alan and team followed later and just got going. Talked me through the project and were more than willing to clarify any questions or queries I had. Was finished by about 3:30 and we were up and generating power. There were a few small minor items that they had to come back and tidy up and would be back Friday and true enough they were here and completed out the job. Clare the Ops Manager and Alan own the business so care about communication, quality of service and installation so all runs smoothly - working on one job at time means that they focus on getting you up and running and are not leaving to sort out other projects. I have had a few questions since installation around the system, final steps and system use and they have been really quick about coming back too. I dont write reviews often but i have been impressed by the overall experience and dealing with AK Solar - thanks all.

We had 14 panel system fitted by Alan and his very efficient team . 100% recommend them and the very efficient office based team that took onboard and answered quickly and queries / all the paper work re Grant / Ber / micro generation application. Didn’t have to lift a finger ! So thanks all … it was a pleasure having dealt with You …

I used AK Solar as my neighbour had used them and also their reviews were impressive. From first point of contact with Eric and follow up calls from Rose and Clare it really was a very easy process. The price of the job was important but more important issue was that it was done right. They are installed a week now and no issues and I am very happy with the job that AK Solar done for me and have recommended them to family and friends.

Having toyed with the idea of solar for almost 3 years, I finally went with AK Solar, mostly thanks to their Trustpilot reviews together with a personal recommendation from a relative who had a recent installation with them.

It took 4 weeks from initial contact to installation and the entire experience was seamless.

Eric in sales was responsive and listened to the brief. He created a system that meet our needs rather than try to sell a one size fits all type system. He quoted competitively without any high-pressure tactics. He also did a site visit prior to installation.

Rose and Clare handled all the paperwork, SEAI grant application and the BER assessment flawlessly. Clare has also been our post installation contact for any queries we have had.

Installation took two days, with the roofing and electrical teams working in tandem. They installed 19 panels (Longi 470W with 12 Tigo optimisers) over three orientations, a flat roof and two hipped roofs. They even managed to handle our delicate rosemary clay roof tiles, with only two casualties which were replaced. Other solar companies whom we contacted had refused to install on our roof due to the delicate nature of these tiles but Alan and the team handled it all with care. They also installed 20kWh of Duracell battery storage and a manual changeover switch, all of which were placed in our attached garage along with a Solis S6 inverter. The workmanship was very tidy and they left the place immaculate, clearing packaging and hoovering before leaving. They also walked us through the Solis app and explained the basics to us.

If you're thinking about solar, definitely give these guys a shout. Their communication, skill and follow up care have been fantastic.

Excellent company to get your solar from. Highly professional, fast and clean. Could not be happier and would highly recommend AK Solar.

Outstanding service from quote to finish.The entire team was efficient knowledgeable and very professional. The completion was effortless and the left the property spotless. I highly recommend them for anyone considering solar

I had multiple quotes from various installers and picked AK Solar based on price, the quality of components they were using and lead time for install. I was also not fed any bull****.

The team arrived on time on install day with the vast majority of the work done by 4pm ( We were exporting to the grid before 3pm). The remaining work (canopy over the inverter and an electrical socket) was completed 2 days later.

The whole experience start to finish was uncomplicated, 3 months later and the system is working better than expected.

Really positive experience. Both Alan, Clare and the rest of the team were very helpful and flexible in view of our on the day requests. Would recommend AK Solar to anyone looking for a professional job/service at a competitive price.

Lads could not do enough for us, listened to our concerns about the visibility of cable runs as I had seen neighbours where their solar company had ran ugly black cables down the side of their houses. Our cables were ran down beside our gutters and colour matched so they didn't stand out.

They responded very quickly to any issues and worked to our availability. From sales to office and the installers, everybody was so helpful.

I had a great experience with AK Solar from start to finish. The whole team was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and easy to deal with throughout the process.
A special thank you to Clare, Rose, Eric, Alan, Ciaran, and the rest of the team for their excellent support and service. Everything was handled smoothly and efficiently, which made the experience stress-free.
I would highly recommend AK Solar to anyone considering solar—top-class service all around!

I have requested 5 quotations with same requirements, with AKSolar I got best price and all I wanted. The crew was really prepared and after a survey they came within a week to do the job. They even replaced without asking my roof vents since were damaged. The result of the installation was really clean inside and outside the house making the wife very happy. AK solar staff doing the administrative part wer also very focused and prompt. I got a reply even on a Sunday evening. I wish I had done this years ago. Thanks you AK Solar.

I began my solar research project about a year ago in March 2025.
Installation began in December 2025 and grants have been successfully paid in March 2026 to the total of 2100 euro.
I have purposely left this review for 4 months to be able to give an honest report on the installation and aftercare.
Not just on the technology used and installation days but on the follow up communication and support and aftercare side from the company in question.
Lots of companies will promise the moon and the stars but what if an issue occurs down the road. With over 500 solar companies in Ireland, my main concern was to use a trustworthy company with a strong background team with industry experience.

I started with analysing my bills and working out how much I spend on electricity each month and yearly. This can be done by downloading your bills and adding them up to get annual total.
I change electricity and Gas companies each year or call existing company to match current offers.
While my bills where about 1500 euro a year not too high as I have gas and a combi gas boiler that heats my water (3 showers and 4 kids) I wanted an electric car charger.
I don’t have an electric car yet but wanted to reduce any bills and future proof my house.
I was going from a B2 (I actually believed my rating was better then B2 but another story) and our house is wrapped. After solar install you get a free BER inspection and I was extremely satisfied to go to a A2 rating after my Solar was installed.

Before contacting solar companies, I educated myself and knew I wanted Battery’s to store energy during the day when produced to use later in the day when everybody was at home .
I had an external separate utility building at the rear of the house that I wanted panels on the roof as well as the main house (semi D). I had panel envy and wanted as many panels as possible.

I researched panels and their technology to check what companies were offering the best and most current technology ie 470 panels.
I researched batteries and watched Utube videos on what the best inverters were.
I read google and trust pilot reviews on irish solar companies and contacted my residents association whats app group to see who had a solar company to recommended.

I settled on 4 solar companies to come out to the house and discuss options and pricing.
Only one offered to put the panels on the external building.
Only one said they would install the batteries and inverter indoors rather than outdoors.
Some companies noticed that some upgrading work needed completing in my external meter box (upgrading tails to correct size) and only one said this was no problem a small extra charge but no need to worry. This was brilliant because I did not want the hassle of trying to get an electrician to do a small job in my external meter.
Only one company was offering the most up to date panel technology.
This company was AK Solar!
1 solar company tried the fast sell of offering me all sorts of discounts if I sign before a certain date.
I settled on AK Solar, their price was a little less then the others but they matched every installation requirement that I had and their panel technology was far superior then the others been used

Due to the complexity of my installation a large electrical cable had to be run around my garden from the meter box to the external outhouse doubling the installation time to 2 days rather then the 1 day that it normally takes.
This was not a problem, and a tidy job was done by friendly installers who where very clean and tidy and professional.
I could not get all 13 panels originally quoted but I knew this depended on the installation day when a roofer was on the roof to see what fitted where. 12 panels of 470 was still more than enough for my house with the ability to sell back to the grid and power any future electric car that I might have.
The ability to take 8c units from the grid at 4 -6 in the am was also a huge benefit to me.
I have dealt extensively with the admin team in AK solar and they were brilliant I was worried that the follow up support or receiving the grant might be troublesome.

Am I happy with AK Solar? 100%
Would I recommend AK Solar? 100% (already have to my neighbours and family)
Does the owner of the company come out and oversee each install ? Yes
As I was handing over 10K I did my research into the background of the company and the directors (you hear lots of terrible stories of companies going bust these days and people losing their deposits and more) so lets say I did my due diligent and I was very happy to see a 25 year experience in the industry and this helped settle my mind when handing over my raining day fund.
Do I think the company will be in business in 10 years time to fix any issues that may arise ? Yes
Are their aftercare support any good? Yes tested already and 100% satisfied.

From my first enquiry to AK Solar administration and sales, I was dealt with nothing but utmost efficiency, attention and professionalism from Clare and Rose.
I can now say the exact same of the AK Solar Installation Team.
On the day of install the full team arrived at 8-30am fully equipped and organised. At 4-00pm in the afternoon the install was completed, and I was generating electricity with enough to power my house in full and, with excess exporting to the Grid and making money for us.
Alan and Ciaran the electricians, were amazingly efficient and competent but also patient and crystal clear in answering questions and explaining how everything operates.
Paul, the roofer and PV install supervisor, and his team, were exactly the same.
Three weeks from initial enquiry to full install ……….. Amazing !
As a very experienced commercial architect for over 40 years, I am not easily impressed…….
AK Solar really impressed me !
I can strongly recommend AK Solar

I had the pleasure of dealing with AK solar

they're work was clean and efficient, the staff where friendly and they where willing to take on a somewhat complicated job.

Would very happily recommend to anyone.

The team was exceptionally friendly and professional. The panels installed works exactly as sold/ promoted by AK and also their hard work from early morning to late evening is genuinely appreciated. Would highly recommend for anyone wishing to explore Solar.

We spent a few months researching which company to go with for our solar panel installation and had several companies come out to the house to provide quotes. In the end, we chose AK Solar as my sister and her mother-in-law had both used them and were delighted with the service, so their recommendation gave us great peace of mind.

They were very easy to deal with and responded to all our queries quickly. Once we paid the deposit, they booked us in for a date two weeks later. Any issues that came up were handled promptly and with no hassle at all. We would highly recommend them!

TL;DR: I could not rate AK Solar higher, a fantastic company, great value, incredibly efficient, highest standard of work.

I contacted many solar PV companies over the course of 1 day to enquire about a quote and then waited for responses.

AK Solar were the first company to respond and I think I spent at least an hour talking with Eric in regards to my requirements. As has been noted in previous reviews, Eric does not drive a hard sales line, he is a sales person but he gives all of his time and attention to the customer and ensures that they understand everything and can ask as many questions as they need to. He also lets the customer know that he appreciates that everyone should do their due diligence and get further quotes.

I received my proposal within minutes of my call with Eric. It detailed all the hardware, the cost, the benefits, the approx payback time etc, it was very comprehensive.

3 other solar companies quoted me in the timeframe I had given myself to research companies for this job. 2 came in with similar but slightly higher quotes, and one was wildly more expensive! None gave me as much time and peace of mind as AK Solar and I reverted to them instantly.

On the 13th of Feb I accepted the proposal from AK Solar and promptly ran away on holidays for a week.

Now it is the 27th of Feb and my Solar PV & Battery system is fully installed and up and running. I can't believe how efficient every part of the process was.

Clare and Rose took care of the required admin/accounts/regulatory requirements etc while keeping me informed all the time. Whether you are a highly organised person or someone with barely enough time to keep your own head together, it doesn't matter, Clare and Rose have it all handled before you even think about it.

A big shout out to Alan and Ben who had a really really tough job making the batteries/inverter fit in the space I wanted and also running all the cabling in my new build home where the consumer board location made it all very difficult. They were fantastic and the system is exactly where I wanted it and installed incredibly neatly. They have utmost respect for peoples' property. They took off footwear going on carpet (even though they could see clearly that I didn't do that) they vacuumed and swept up continuously, they cleaned down walls where plaster dust accumulated etc etc, all while installing in a very awkward space and being exceptionally agreeable at all times. When finished there wasn't the hint that they were in the house, apart from the Solar PV hardware being up and running.

Vlad and Paul were fantastic on the outdoor/attic and roof works. The panels are aligned perfectly with one another and centred where possible with the house and each connection was checked thoroughly to ensure it was perfect. They even fixed 1 roof tile that had dislodged in a recent storm, thats what I call service!

Quick note: My install was due to be completed over 1 day(as are most installs), but due to high winds in my area, it was necessary to extend to 2 days. When you see the size of the solar panels you will understand why it is dangerous to work in windy conditions; it is great to see a company respecting the safety of the people doing this work! Knowing how eveything had gone up to this point, there wasnt a doubt in my mind that they would be back as soon as weather permitted. They arrived the next day to glorious sunshine and had the remainder of the panels fitted in around an hour.

I got 3 quotes, AK weren't the cheapest, but when they talked through the quote, i was satisfied the equipment was of a higher spec. I went with AK based on the equipment, & feedback from the 'Irish Solar Owners' Group on FB, and I wasn't disappointed. The customer service is excellent. They were happy to fix a separate issue with my roof, when on site, & even repaired broken roof tiles at no extra cost.
