What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from real homeowners across Wiltshire and the South West.
“Matt installed our solar panels and battery storage system on our bungalow in Atworth. Going with a local installer was not only cheaper than the big companies, but Lumos have been great at every step — good communication, quality work and no stress. Matt has gone above and beyond at every step and made sure the system is running just how we want it.”
R. Johnson
Atworth, Melksham
“Lumos were fantastic. Matt was very thorough in his assessment of the job and gave us a fair quote. The workmanship was excellent and our new solar is working a treat and looks fab.”
O. Saunders
Combe Down, Bath
“We just had solar panels installed to our cottage in Broughton Gifford and could not be happier. The team were professional, courteous and took the time to clearly explain the system and all the steps from initial enquiry to the final switch on. Installation was smooth and tidy, and everything works perfectly.”
K. Cunningham
Broughton Gifford, Melksham
“Extremely professional from start to finish. The team explained everything clearly and the installation was completed in a single day with minimal disruption. Our energy bills have dropped considerably since adding the battery to our existing panels. Highly recommend Lumos to anyone considering solar.”
S. Williams
Devizes, Wiltshire
“Matt and his team are fantastic. Very knowledgeable, great attention to detail and excellent aftercare. Our energy bills have dropped significantly since installation. The monitoring app is brilliant — you can see exactly what the panels are generating in real time.”
P. Harrison
Corsham, Wiltshire
“Brilliant local company. We got quotes from several installers and Lumos were the most transparent and honest. The installation was neat and the system performs brilliantly. Matt took time to explain how the export tariff works and helped set everything up.”
A. Fletcher
Bradford on Avon
“Had a full solar and battery system installed by Lumos. From the initial survey through to handover, the whole process was seamless. Matt is clearly passionate about what he does and it shows in the quality of work. Our electricity bill has practically disappeared.”
D. Marsh
Chippenham, Wiltshire
“We had been putting off getting solar for years, but Matt made the whole process simple and stress-free. The team were in and out in a day, left the place spotless, and our panels have been generating brilliantly ever since. Wish we had done it sooner.”
J. Reeves
Trowbridge, Wiltshire
“Had a Zappi EV charger installed alongside our new solar panels. The charger automatically uses excess solar to charge our car during the day — essentially free fuel. Matt explained all the smart settings and the app is really intuitive. Outstanding service from a genuine local business.”
M. Taylor
Calne, Wiltshire
“Our original installer went out of business so we contacted Lumos to take over maintenance. Matt inspected the whole system, found a loose connection on the inverter, and cleaned all the panels. Generation is back up to where it should be. Really glad we found them.”

Everything you need to know before making the switch to solar.
A typical 4kW residential solar panel system in Wiltshire costs between £5,000 and £7,000 including installation, with 0% VAT until March 2027. Larger systems (5-6kW) range from £7,000 to £9,000. Every Lumos Energy quote is bespoke — based on your roof, your usage, and your goals.
A typical 4kW system in the South West generates approximately 3,920 kWh per year. At current electricity rates, this can save £800-£1,200 annually depending on your self-consumption rate. Adding battery storage increases savings further by using more of your own generation.
Most residential solar systems in Wiltshire and the South West pay for themselves within 5-8 years, depending on system size, energy usage, and whether you add battery storage. After payback, you generate free electricity for 20+ years.
Yes. Since April 2022, domestic solar panel installations in the UK have been zero-rated for VAT. This applies to panels, inverters, battery storage (when installed with solar), and installation labour. The 0% rate is currently guaranteed until March 2027.
The SEG pays you for surplus electricity you export to the grid. Current rates are approximately 10.8p per kWh. Your system must be MCS certified to qualify — all Lumos Energy installations are MCS registered as standard.
