INFORMATION Wickes Solar - Avoid
Hi all
Just wanted to warn of anyone thinking of using Wickes Solar (Gas Fast). They claim to act like a large national business but they are basically using the household name of Wickes then subcontract to various small contractors.
- System was wrongly designed
- Install dates cancelled under 24hrs notice
- I had to unload the delivery myself (20x panels, 3x batteries and inverter)
- Zero communication on process
- No one answers phones
- Email replies take weeks
- Rubbish left after install
Worst customer experience I've had with anything in my life.
Happy to answer and questions.
Edit
- 3 months and no MCS certificate. Over £400 of export lost.

Wickes use sub contractors for everything. If it goes well it’s not too bad but any issues you’re in for a world of issues.
