Getting advice and ordering from this company has been a great experience. Any phone calls have been well answered and followed up with email where necessary. Every step of the way has been easy and Faris in particular has been very helpful, ringing me back when necessary and being "on it" with my order. Would highly recommend them.

Rayotec have reviewed our solar panel system and disconnected a broken panel. They have been very easy to deal with and provided clear costings and information in advance of their visit. The engineer was very competent, efficient and on time. Everyone I have spoken to at Rayotec has been friendly and helpful, they even found a replacement panel for me on Ebay!

Thank you so much Rayotec. E-mailed response waiting for me in the morning and problem solved.

Peter Reeves

Rayotec installed our solar thermal array ten years ago and it has performed faultlessly since then. Recently we had them back to decommission the system to allow us to change our DHW cylinder. They have just returned to get it back up and running again. All our dealings with Rayotec have been exemplary. Communication with them was always excellent. It was always easy to get someone on the end of the phone when needed and we were kept informed in detail by email about all aspects of our work. When a technician visited our house they were always extremely professional. They were polite, tidy and, above all, very competent. I would highly recommend them.

Excellent service - the engineer even came out 3 days early as he had a cancellation. Will definitely use them again if required.

I used Rayotec to decommission an old hot water solar system. They were very good from start to finish. Great communication, easy to deal with, accommodating, fair price and very efficient. Would definitely recommend this company and would use them again.

It is honestly so refreshing to speak with a person who knows their industry and not a robot or switchboard. Fast, honest and professional advice received from Rayotec’s solar department. We would happily recommend to anyone who may be seeking solar assistance. Anna

A big thank you to Rayotec who, although they were unable to help us themselves, were very helpful in finding a contractor closer to us.

I am mightily grateful and impressed with Rayotec. I appeared to have a problem with my PV Solar. Rather than send a technician with ensuing costs, Rayotec advised me over the phone and via email, saving me several hundred pounds but ensuring my custom for anything and everything solar and Therma related henceforward.

Being totally ignorant about my solar system I contacted Rayotec for help when it wasn’t working. . Help was swift, courteous and very professional. The problem with my system was patiently explained to me, all my questions were answered and the problem was dealt with efficiently. All the people at Rayotec we’re really great and I can’t praise them highly enough.

Derek Taylor

03rd September 2020

Easy appointment system with a friendly engineer arriving on time and suitably briefed about our issue. The engineer, David I believe, and his assistant/apprentice were happy to access our rather cluttered loft area to tackle the problem of patchy generation. Once established that our inverter - as suspected - was at fault, they consulted their office to check that the spare carried in their van was compatible and connected this new inverter to our system which now works perfectly. Very satisfied.

I contacted Rayotec for help & assistance with the recent faults that had arisen on the solar power system at my late brother-in-law's house and Perry Viner whom I spoke to was so understanding and he really went out of his way to help me to even sending myself an email afterwards with details of a family company that is based nearer to our location and whom will be able to assist me further and I highly recommend others to contact Rayotec if they also have any problems at all with their Solar panel system and thank you again Perry for all your help and advise which I really appreciated.

John Harris

I called Rayotec recently to enquire about help and information regarding an upgrade of our 9 year old solar installation to an "optimised" system. This was my 1st time of speaking to the company Rayotec and I was dealing with a representative called Perry. Perry was friendly, charming, extremely professional and so helpful, quite frankly I was taken back with his knowledge and intention to clarify detailed solutions to all my quite specific questions. What an ambassador of Rayotec! Without doubt I knew this was a company I would chose to work with; and after reviewing their independent feedback I was convinced I needed to look no further for my Solar powered requirements . Thank you Perry, I am sure Rayotec values employees like you which can only enhance their continued business.

12th August 2020

Terrific company! We got in contact when our photovoltaic solar panels ceased generation. I received a prompt phone call from Perry who patiently talked me though a few basic checks. I am delighted to say we were able to get the system functioning from the advise given on the phone but would not think twice about contacting again - thank you!

Councillor Richard Clifton

24th June 2020

The man who came, Paul, was very helpful and fixed the leak, which was what was most bothering me. Unfortunately it was a cloudy day so he was not able to ascertain whether or not the system was working. We think it is not. He outlined what needed to be done if it is not and said he would send us an estimate of the cost. Hope to get that.

Sam Newman

Fast, honest and reliable. Easy contact with the office and very knowledgable engineer. We would happily recommend rayotec to our friends and family with solar panels

"Quality" - Jordan Murrow

5th June 2020

We contacted Rayotec when our solar water panels stopped providing us with hot water. My point of contact at the office was with Mr Viner, a very helpful and polite gentleman who asked me numerous questions regarding my solar to try and diagnose if a fault was present. My solar was in dire need of new glycol as the last service was completed over 6 years ago, we were never told about the up-keep of the system. Mr Viner provided us with a fair quote for the works and we were scheduled in with no fuss. I would have no hesitation at all in using Rayotec again in the future. BR J.Murrow

My enquiry was answered first thing in the morning. Extremely helpful team, spoke with both Perry & Parmi on the solar team who arranged for a engineers visit with Dave. The visit itself was carried out very professionally and my PV system now works again after a 3 month hiatus... Highly recommended company!!

Karen Moore

19th May 2020

I contacted Rayotec after being messed about by the people who installed our solar system. Perry asked me several questions to help diagnose the solar panels issues and thankfully it was a very straightforward fix. Very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable team. I would happily recommend Rayotec to anyone with solar problems. Thanks again!

Original solar installer not available to respond to faulty operation of Solar Edge domestic PV system. Rayotec came to the rescue. Perry in the office and Dave the visiting Tech were first class, helpful and informative and did a great job of getting us back up and running. Top marks to Rayotec.

The office staff have been incredibly helpful especially Parmjeet Bains who dealt with my concerns also the engineer namely Peter Byrne who did a wonderful job servicing and curing a leak in the pipe work also leaving everything clean and tidy.

Nigel O'Coffey

24th February 2020

Contacted Rayotec to assist with my Solar PV issue. Original thought was the inverter and having discussed everything with the company the engineer (Dave) visited me and discovered that the problem stemmed from one of the panels. The engineer carried out the tests needed and isolated the offending panel, leaving me with a working system. If I am able to find a replacement panel then Rayotec will fit it for me. Bearing in mind the particular panel is no longer manufactured the engineer gave me all his expert advise for the options to move forward. There was no issue with him returning the new inverter back to base and refunding me the cost difference from the deposit already paid up front. Everything was done in an efficient and friendly way and good communication with Perry and his team throughout either by email or telephone. When the inverter does inevitably fail, as they do not last for ever, I shall be happy to use the services of Rayotec Ltd. in summary: A very helpful and friendly team to deal with.

Danny Worthington

Rayotec are a fantastic company that I cannot recommend enough. When my installers went out of business, I came across this company online and am so glad that I did. I was put through to a Mr Viner who's product knowledge was very useful. He was able to assist me with all my queries and offered me a competitive price for servicing. My business will be staying firmly with Rayotec from now on.

Abi Sullivan

20th January 2020

It’s refreshing talking to people who really care about what they do. I have been receiving cold calls from “companies” claiming my installers had gone out of business and I was over due an upgrade, I called the people who installed for us and they had in fact gone out of business however I didn’t understand why I needed to upgrade. I looked online and found Rayotec, my call was answered almost immediately, Perry in Solar quickly explained that there are hundreds of people getting these kind of cold calls and they’re almost always fraudulent. After going through my system with Perry he concluded that my system was perfectly fine the way it is, he answered every question I had in a very professional but friendly manner and provided me with a fair quote for servicing as my installers were no longer around. We will definitely be using Rayotec moving forward.

Harpreet N. Basin

on behalf of my grandmother. I called for advice on upgrading my solar panels, all of my questions were answered in detail by a friendly member of the solar department. Thank you for all of your help and advice.

Cassie Simmons

07th January 2020

I called in last week and spoke to the Solar Team who went above and beyond to help me. My family had solar installed by a company who have since gone out of business, I spoke with Perry regarding the concerns I had about my system, he talked me through a hard restart and thankfully since then my system has been fine, just in time for the gorgeous weekend just passed. I can’t recommend Rayotec enough, look no further for anything Solar Powered. We will definitely be using them for all our future maintenances.

Mr. T

07th January 2020

1st class company. I’d like to especially praise Dave ( one of their solar PV engineer) . Dave was absolutely superb. His extensive PV solar knowledge helped my greatly, to resolve my failed inverter issue. He was fantastic and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rayotec to others. Thanks Rayotec for your excellent service and brilliant staff.

Nick Baker

Contacted Rayotec regarding a problem with my solar panels, they replied promptly and requested several details regarding the system and the issue. They then contacted me by phone to discuss it further and suggested a solution. A visit was arranged but the suggested solution fixed the problem so the visit was cancelled with no problem. I found them to be very helpful.

Michael Turner

04th September 2019

I have to say I never tend to leave reviews but simply had to make an exception with Rayotec. From start to finish I received professional advice from the Solar team. I was put through to Mr Perry Viner and I can safely say this man knows his stuff. He made sure he had as much information on my system as possible, asked me many questions to try to narrow down the problem. He then booked me in for a maintenance visit with one of the engineers, I work a really tight schedule but he made sure I was booked in for a date that worked for ME. Not something you get with many companies. The following day Mr Viner called me back after having got in contact with one of his engineers and asked me to run through a couple of things. He then asked me to try restarting my system which I did and the inverter started up as if nothing happened and has since worked perfectly. Don't hesitate to contact Rayotec if you're experiencing problems with your Solar panels. I've spoken with a few different Solar companies and these guys truly care about their customers. 10/10 Service from a lovely family ran business.

R. Douetil - Rayotec Customer

22 May 2019

I have recently had my solar heating system serviced by Rayotec Ltd., on phoning an appointment was soon made and as I work during the week was scheduled for a Saturday. An engineer phoned on the Saturday morning to announce he had finished his previous appointment and would be with me within 10 minutes. The engineer was polite and extremely knowledgeable , the service was completed without fuss antifreeze replaced and system reset. Due to an unrelated issue , a power surge in my electrical system, I had to call Rayotec again, who made an immediate appointment for the Saturday, and attended to replace the solar control panel, the new unit was explained in full by the engineer before leaving, and the system is now running very well. My point of contact at Rayotec was Perry Viner who was courteous at all times and did everything that could be expected to accommodate my requests for a Saturday appointment. I can whole heartily recommend Rayotec Ltd.,when it comes to Servicing or installing Solar powered systems.

Mina and the team at Rayotec are a pleasure to deal with. Any communications are always handled politely and promptly and they are always on hand to offer unbiased advice on various systems with emphasis on customer care. I would recommend Rayotec for any solar needs, be it installation or maintenance

P Manley

01 Apr 2017

Rayotec installed our Solar PV system so when the inverter failed, typically only months after the manufacturer's warranty expired, I contacted them about a replacement. I spoke with Reza who gave me two options with prices and when I had made my decision Reza kept me informed of progress of the order and the install date. The wait time for installation was only one week and good communication was maintained throughout this period. Dave came to install the new inverter and he was excellent. He was punctual, very efficient with a high level of expertise, very helpful and always polite - a credit to Rayotec. When Dave identified a further problem with my panel array, caused by nesting Jackdaws between the panels and the roof, he was again very knowledgeable and helpful in recommending a pest control company who could resolve the problem. I am very happy with the service I received from the Rayotec Team and cannot recommend them highly enough.

D. Bowles, Estates Manager

Rayotec have been working with us for several years, helping us to continue our aim on reducing our carbon footprint by using Rayotec solar thermal system to heat our hot water requirements. This coupled with Rayotecs after sales service, providing peace of mind for our ongoing maintenance requirements
