Solar system fitted February 2023 by Green Way Solar. Has worked very well until recently we noticed the battery was not feeding the the house power requirements. Contacted Greenway explaining the fault, they contacted the battery supplier Givenergy and the fault was corrected remotely within a few hours.

The Greenway Way Solar team have provided us with a system that has consistently worked well since its installation in May 2023, and has for several weeks this summer 2024 been exporting more electricity than we have been consuming from the grid, even covering the cost of our gas consumption over this period. We would particularly mention the help of Debbie Rushton who promptly answered or relayed to the appropriate engineers our queries during installation. We would also mention the work of the two young engineers who installed the panels, positioning them very accurately so as to optimise performance.

The Greenway Solar have been excellent in every aspect. The installation of the EV charger was faultless from the initial order arranged through Zhane Moodley to the final installation by Bradley Dell.They are a local company and have always been friendly and offered very knowledgeable advice.I would highly recommend them for this and their main work of solar installations.

Competitive price; no quibble service; quick to fix minor issues; Excellent customer communication; All four teams (scaffolding, solar install, electrics and pigeon protection) worked efficiently and left the site tidy once done; Bottom line, we wold recommend Green Way solar to others. The whole solution is working brilliantly. Great job. A year on, still very, very pleased. Just added a second battery. Now 100% cheap rate or free for 2 adults in semi detached all year. Remember: smallest possible 4 panel config. Really excellent product and company. Recommended.

We decided to install solar panels on both sides of our long garage roof as we did not want to spoil the aspect of our main house. We considered a number of companies, but were most impressed with the knowledge shown by Michael at Greenway Solar and felt their price was competitive to others. We had 20 x 480w panels fitted and a 9.5kw Give energy battery storage unit to allow us to make use of the energy overnight. There was absolutely no hard sell. All the team including Callum, Amy, Wendy and Debbie at the office, and Steve and Dylan who were involved with the installation, were brilliant. We had an issue with one broken panel (not their fault) and there was a delay in replacement due to supplier issues for the type of panel we had. We were kept informed throughout and everyone was professional, supportive and friendly. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others. Now we just need some sunshine to boost the generation!

I purchased solar panels with battery pack 3 months ago, I was extremely pleased with The Green Way Solar as a supplier, the process from ordering right through to installation was smooth and efficient with good communication throughout. All the workforce were extremely courteous and completed their jobs with minimal fuss. I wanted to waita while after the installation before posting a review to see how the system performed, I have to say that is has to date exceeded my expectations and fully anticipate that the payback period will be considerably shorter than originally quoted. I am delighted that we made the decision to go ahead with this project and would be happy to recommend The Green Way solar to anyone considering a solar installation

The Green Way Solar have just completed a 24 panel installation on our Village Hall roof (2 batteries and inverter). The Village Hall committee have been extremely impressed with the quality of the installation, the performance of the system and the professionalism of all the various teams that worked on the installation. All aspects of the work were completed on time and the communication with Greenway solar has been excellent throughout (no matter how many questions we fired at them). Not only that but there prices are very competitive and if there was a saving to be made they passed it straight on to us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Green Way Solar.

Can't say how much I have enjoyed the whole going solar experience with Greenaway. The original salesman Paul was in time and very thorough both with the initial panel and battery installation plus the additional battery later on. Callum dealt with the scaffolding and installation and helped me achieve no vat on the major part of the second battery installation. Amy took over whilst he was away and dealt admirably with the admin side of things. Good job all round by the Greenaway team.

The Green Way Solar, installed our x9 435w panels, with a GivEnergy 13.5 All In One and GivEnergy EV Charger. It's been a smooth ride from start to finish. Paul, was great speccing our system. I had a couple of last minute changes, which Callum in the office happily changed for me, Callum and Amy have been amazing keeping me up to date with everything. I would highly recommend Green Way Solar, great price, great service, great team!

Yes. You will be able to access and manage your charger on each device. You'll need to use the same login details on each device.
3I can’t start a charge in the app – what should I do?
In rare cases, you may not be to start a charge for several minutes in the app. This is caused when connection to the charger is temporarily lost.

Charger -

1Should I choose a Tethered or Untethered charger?
This really depends on your needs and preference. Here are some things you might want to consider.

- Convenience: Tethered chargers have a permanently attached cable. The VCHRGD Seven Pro tethered charger comes with a Type 2 connector.

- Flexibility: While you need to plug the cable into an untethered charger, you can use both Type 1 or Type 2 cables.

- Cable Length: Our tethered charger's cable is 5m in length, whereas an untethered charging cable can be up to 10m for either connector type.

- Cost: We're offering both tethered and untethered chargers at the same great price. You'll need to purchase a cable separately if you purchase an untethered charger.
2How long is the integrated cable of the tethered charger?
The standard cable length is 5 metres.
3What is Auto Power Balancing?
Auto Power Balancing is an important safety feature. The VCHRGD Seven Pro charger can charge your electric vehicle (EV) at a maximum of 32A. If there are other appliances using electricity in your home at the same time as the charger, such as your dishwasher or electric shower, Auto Power Balancing will adjust the amount of electricity going to your EV to prevent overloading your circuit and potentially tripping your fuse.
4What is the maximum charge rate of the VCHRGD Seven Pro charger?
The maximum charging rate of the charger is 32A / 7.4kW.
5What warranty is offered on the VCHRGD Seven Pro charger?
The VCHRGD Seven Pro charger comes with a 3 year warranty as standard.
6What are RFID cards and how many will I receive with my VCHRGD Seven Pro charger?
The RFID cards which come with your VCHRGD Seven Pro charger provide the ability to authorise charging sessions without logging into the Powerverse app. You do this by tapping your RFID card on the 'V' logo of the charger each time you connect your EV. You will receive two RFID cards with your VCHRGD Seven Pro charger.
7Is the VCHRGD Seven Pro charger OZEV-compliant?
Yes, the VCHRGD Seven Pro charger is compliant with OZEV's "The Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021".
8Does the VCHRGD Seven charger Pro require an internet connection?
Yes, the charger will need to be installed in a location with Wi-Fi access. If you do not have a good Wi-Fi connection at the location you want your charger installed, a Wi-Fi extender can be a good option to extend the range of your existing Wi-Fi network. These are readily available online or from many home electrical outlets.
