Customer reviews & testimonials
Our customers say much more about us than we ever could...
Farmer and TV presenter, Adam Henson: "I'm Stow born and bred and the rugby club featured strongly in my youth. Now that the likes of Alfie and Jack are coming up through the rugby club, it's great to know that its future is being secured through great, sustainable initiatives like this".
"Adam is a great supporter of the club, and it's because people like Adam and Ben care so much about the it that we can be so forward-thinking. This is a major project for the Stow Rugby Club but one which will reap returns for us for many years, helping to secure our future".
Dave Oughton - Stow on the Wold RFC"I had been thinking about investing in renewable energies to make our properties more attractive to tenants. Solar was a logical investment, offering protection against rising electricity costs which means we can pass the savings on to our tenants".
Craig Sharp - Allen Fabrications Ltd“We are very pleased with the PV installation. Not only is it perfectly matched to our refrigeration requirement, producing more electricity when we need the most refrigeration, it is also performing above expectation. The installation itself was hassle-free and didn't impact on the day to day operations here at Lye Cross Farm. Overall, a very worthwhile project".
Peter Alvis - Lye Cross Farm, Bristol“Making any new investment in technology that is unknown to you takes a lot of research, meeting numerous suppliers and getting a consensus of target results to be achieved. After my detailed research, I always felt a rollout to a bigger system was likely. I engaged with an engineer to help me with the final selection.
"Ben Harrison of Mypower worked hard to gain the order, planned and installed the system with a very high degree of professionalism. Mypower’s price in the tender process was competitive and following my research on the company and verifying their references, I awarded them the contract based on professionalism, attention to detail and price as well as their complete project management offering. We are very happy with the results to date."
Alan Walsh - Walsh Mushrooms"As we have expanded the business, our power costs have increased. With solar offering cheaper electricity, a good return on investment and the commercial benefits of being a 'green' plant hire company, it was not a difficult decision to make. The solar will also really help us towards our ISO 14000 accreditation.
"We were very pleased with the first installation Mypower did for us in 2011 and had no qualms in asking them to quote for solar on our new building. The upfront advice we received from them was very helpful and their involvement with WPD saved us some money. Ben worked with us every step of the way to dovetail the installation with the erection of the new building, saving us money on access and scaffolding. He was very professional in all that he did, taking control but keeping us fully informed throughout the project and dealing with all the paperwork. The installation team were friendly, helpful and flexible with all going to plan and the deadlines being met."
Simon Tomblin - Rocket Rentals"Choosing the right installation contractor involved the selection of a firm who were able to deliver an installation to match the quality of the building, work within the restrictions of a structure of this age and in harmony with the cathedral’s status as a place of daily worship, which is also visited by nearly 500,000 people each year…
"The installation of solar panels on such a beautiful and beloved building as Gloucester Cathedral has raised interest locally and nationally so it's been fantastic that Mypower has been taking such great care with the work. Since starting on site, the team has identified a way of hiding the ballast beneath the panels which our structural engineer is delighted with. And they've managed to accommodate both the physical restrictions of the site and the fact that we're a place of worship as well as a busy destination for visitors. We’re delighted with the solar panels, with Mypower generally and Ben specifically!
"I’ve just taken Dean Stephen up to the roof. He is extraordinarily impressed and looking forward to meeting you and thanking you personally"
Anne Cranston - Gloucester CathedralSpeaking on BBC Radio, the Dean of Gloucester said: "It's actually an incredible installation, it's so well done by Mypower... It's a work of art when you can see it and, of course, when people do go up one of the tower tours, that's the only place from which they'll be able to see the solar panels."
"Mypower responded magnificently to the challenge of installing the solar PV array to the nave roof at Gloucester Cathedral. The logistics were daunting, and the need to work respectfully in this ancient place of worship added further complexities to the project. However, Mypower were always ready to rise to the challenge and added creatively to the process, resulting in a beautiful as well as functional, end product."
Antony Feltham-King - Gloucester Cathedral"I would have no hesitation recommending Mypower to any potential customer. Of special note was Ben Harrison's attention to detail and energy in driving the project to a successful conclusion during our peak summer trading period.
"The management team at Bako Western now views the weather forecast with extra interest and has already monitored significant savings since the installation was commissioned".
Stuart Wilson - Bako Western“Investigating the right supplier takes time, which can be hard to find and, having decided to commit our business to Mypower, the whole job was taken off our hands. Mypower managed the scheme completely and efficiently so that we could get on with our business. It was all very fuss-free and well managed. The panels are hardly visible on the new building and don’t spoil the look of any of the older buildings; a very important factor for Sheppy’s.”
Louisa Sheppy - Sheppy's Cider"Our PV array not only makes financial sense but also differentiates us in the marketplace, extracting further commercial value from the initiative. Credit must go to the whole team at Mypower who calmly delivered the project against the inevitable FiT revision deadline.
"This investment not only supports our zero-carbon operation goals but also demonstrates the scale of our commitment to a move to a sustainable economy. Currently, my Tesla is the only vehicle that runs on electricity but as we electrify more of our distribution fleet we are likely to be back for an extension to the installation to cover the flat roof over the offices".
Toby Robins - Wiles Greenworld"With the pressure mounting for companies to reduce their carbon footprint and work towards a future of sustainability, we are committed to making positive changes in all areas of Daylesford. I've worked with Mypower for 3 years now and they never fail to deliver exceptional work and advice. Mypower's complete end to end project management and comprehensive recommendations means we need to have so little involvement in the projects they do for us. It's like they are part of our team working for a common goal, saving us money and improving our sustainability."
Tim Field - Daylesford Farm Shops"Mypower had an excellent reputation and their references were good, they did everything they said they would and more, without causing any inconvenience to us. Their in-house installers were very professional and tidy and Ben kept us in the loop throughout the week-long project and did all the paperwork as promised. I really had little to do apart from sign the cheque and let Mypower do the rest! 4 years on, the solar is performing better than anticipated and our bills have come down more than we hoped. We haven't had to do a thing with it, it just works in the background alongside our mains supply, providing us with our own locally sourced electricity."
Richard Baldwyn - Lower Clopton Farm Shop"Ben [MD for Mypower] really put forward the case for Mypower and Solar PV with several options of system sizes and products, giving complete transparency on everything. The grant process was very easy and straightforward with Mypower's help. Mypower's team on site were excellent and caused no disruption to the business and the whole project was managed and communicated to us exceptionally well"
Tim Darch - Quickgrind"Coveya Ltd commissioned Mypower to design and install a 251.1kWp solar PV system and I can say we are very impressed with the service provided and the installation. Mypower did everything they said they would do and when they said they would do it. In particular, they worked to install the system alongside our busy production operations with no disruption at all and great consideration. I'd be happy to recommend Mypower to any business wishing to install solar PV."
Gareth Herbert - Coveya Ltd"Dawn Foods takes social responsibility very seriously and, as a global bakery business, sustainability is key going forward. We produce millions of cakes and mixes every year and keeping a site like ours operational uses a lot of electricity! Mypower was able to come up with a solution that ensures a more sustainable way to generate electricity and means we avoid significant CO2 emissions too."
Kevin Power - Dawn Foods"We undertook a formal tender process in which we received five proposals. Mypower was selected for its use of technology and competitive pricing. We set a tight timescale of only 8 weeks for Mypower to install and commission the PV system. The Mypower team and their sub-contractors worked very well together on the design and installation of the system, providing a complete package. The age of the roof and requirement to avoid covering the many roof lights presented challenges which were overcome by Mypower through detailed design. I found the team to be very hands-on and committed to delivering the project on time. I would definitely recommend Mypower to any other business thinking of improving their carbon footprint and reducing their fixed costs"
Peter Mackay-Lewis - Delaney Mackay Lewis Ltd"The use of technology has always been a major part of our continuous drive to operate in an ever more environmentally sustainable manner. Our investment in this solar panel project has been our biggest success to date in this area. Driven by our accreditation to the ISO 14001 standard for an effective environmental management system and a personal desire by the senior management team to reduce our environmental footprint, we continually look for 'greener' ways to operate.
"Mypower has proven to be an excellent partner in helping us to achieve these goals and throughout the process, their professional, expert advice and guidance has been invaluable. At every stage, Mypower managed our project flawlessly, from initial contact, through scoping, design, competitive tendering and then the actual installation - everything has been delivered on time and with zero disruption to our business."
Chris Booth - Hugh Symons"We're very proud that our new PV system will be generating clean electricity for our business for many years to come. Not only is it a great green decision, but it's also a very sensible financial one, so it really is a win-win for us. Mypower made everything very straightforward. Their knowledge and advice about commercial solar PV gave us a huge amount of confidence to take our aspirations to 'go Solar' into reality and it was an easy decision to go with Mypower. Owning our own building means we can make long-term investment decisions. Going solar self-sufficient reduces our carbon footprint and helps generate green power to go back into the grid to supply other businesses and homes with solar energy."
Mark Stewart - Stuart Golf Ltd"Mypower made the whole process of ordering and installing a 100KWp Solar PV System that consists of 306 panels easy to understand and guided the team through the whole process from start to finish. Neil from Mypower was in constant contact and ensured that the installation ran seamlessly from start to finish. Their installation team worked professionally and understood the needs of our site, a busy health centre, and worked around them."
Joe Clark - Wirral Community Health & NHS Foundation Trust"Mypower are highly knowledgeable and delivered a turnkey project - from planning applications to negotiating the best possible rates for our export. We are delighted with the outcome, the service, advice and commitment Mypower gave to our PV installation; it was exceptional. We would happily recommend Mypower to anyone considering a solar PV project"
Lee Walding - Leeways
“We are committed to sustainability and have long-term plans for minimising Purbeck Ice Cream’s carbon footprint, so our two solar PV systems play an important part. We were pleased to appoint Mypower to plan and install both systems, the newest of which is fitted with optimisers on each pair of panels that are monitored by an online platform. This gives us early notification even if only two panels have an issue, which is advantageous.
We are very satisfied with the quality of the solar installations and the service provided by the team at Mypower.”
Peter Hartle - Purbeck Ice Cream“The team from Mypower has been excellent throughout the project. They helped drive the project through right from the very start, from identifying the opportunity and potential benefits for the City Council, to ensuring all the required applications and upgrades were completed, to installing the system.
We now have a solar PV system that will generate 212,000 kWh of electricity per year, meeting around 40% of the site’s annual electricity needs, and will avoid over 45 tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum – helping the city council towards our ambitious 2030 net zero target.”
David Torrington - Gloucester City Council“As a data centre, we use a huge amount of energy. Mypower used every inch of our roof to install a 280kWp solar array in an organised, well managed and professional manner. They offered straight forward advice and put their competition to shame on pre-sales and design making them an easy choice for supply."
Gary Coates - ServerHouse Ltd“Sherwood has been trusted by some of the most established brands in the UK for more than 30 years. We’ve built that trust not only on our products, but on our ability to maintain standards, act responsibly and innovate to supply low carbon solutions for our clients. Mypower was our chosen partner to install a solar PV system at our production facility due to their proven track record in our industry. Their knowledge, service and delivery against commitments made were second to none, , and we’re delighted with the result of nearly 40% of our energy coming from our own renewable source.”
Michael Horan - Sherwood Stainless Steel & Aluminium Ltd“Working with the team at Mypower has been a refreshing and rewarding experience. They have helped us at every stage from inception through to delivery and installation of this project without any disruption to our 24/7 operation. The installation plays an important part in our sustainability drive and we look forward to working with Mypower once more as we continue our journey towards carbon neutrality.”
Ian Desmonde - IBL Cold Stores“At Castell Howell, we recognised that generating our own green, local energy was one of the single biggest actions we could take to extend the positive impact of our business. Equally it’s very important to us to work with companies who share our values and we can trust to act with care and responsibility.
We were deeply impressed with Mypower’s diligence and professionalism, which led to a first rate installation without interrupting our ability to focus on business.”
Nigel Williams - Castell Howell Foods Ltd“The installation of solar PV at our Premiere Kitchens’ facility proved to be not only essential for achieving our sustainability objectives but also instrumental in meeting our financial targets. Right from the early stages the Mypower team provided sound advice and consistently fulfilled their commitments, despite our feathered friends causing a delay in proceedings.
Since installation completion 12 months ago the system has performed to Mypower’s projections and provided Markey Group as a whole with a fantastic source of ‘home grown’ clean low-cost energy. Thank you to the team at Mypower!”
Richard Markey - Markey Group“Having identified on-site solar PV as the most environmentally, technically and commercially beneficial solution to contribute towards our sustainability goals we sought a partner we could trust not just to deliver the technology, but to adhere to the highest standards of health and safety and construction management in a critical manufacturing and processing environment.
Mypower had the expertise, track record and personnel to deliver. We were suitably impressed by their approach and way of working with us that we were delighted to instruct them to complete phase two, and look forward to our continued partnership as we deliver against voestalpine’s sustainability commitments.”
Thomas Baumgartner - voestalpine Metsec plc“As a national business, we prioritise operating sustainably and making a positive impact on our surroundings. Our efforts to reduce carbon emissions have not only advanced our Planet Plan but also allowed us to lower electricity costs. This, in turn, enables us to offer high-quality products at affordable prices.
Mypower’s team played a crucial role in managing this project efficiently and effectively, ensuring that we met the fast pace and scale required.”
