Hi Patrick, thanks for the great review! It’s great to hear you were happy with the communication, the team, and the work carried out.
Activ8 if you want to future proof you’re solar investment
Our installation was carried out in a very professional manner on the day. However equally as impressive was the after sales support from Activ8 when we were getting used to the system after it was installed. I’m confident that if we need to add to our existing installation in years to come we are in the best hands possible.
