“The unusual shape and design of our roof was no issue as Aztec Solar found a very simple solution that was non-intrusive. The installation team were excellent, I sometimes didn’t even realise that they were there, they removed all rubbish and unused equipment from site and left the area safe and clean. I would have no hesitation in recommending Aztec Solar to anyone.”
