Activ8te were a fantastic company to deal with. Communication was fantastic. The lads on installation day were amazing. The work was so clean and tidy. When we got the EV charger a few weeks later, the electrician asked who did our solar panels because they did a great job with the electrics 👌🏼

Hi Kevin, thank you for your review. We're delighted to hear the team exceeded your expectations.
Experience with Activate
Called out and described the process in detail. A date was set for installation and two crews arrived on the day. 10 panels on the roof by lunchtime and the final connections to unit in attic and fuse board and immersion were all completed by 3 pm. Everything cleaned up and left perfect. 100% recommend them.
