Real feedback from cottage owners who made the switch to solar.
"We were worried about how panels would look on our 1850s cottage. The team found a solution that sits perfectly with the slate roof—visitors often don't notice them until we point them out. Our bills dropped by two-thirds."
"The planning permission process seemed daunting for our Grade II listed property. Oak-forge handled everything with the conservation officer and we had panels installed within three months. Exceptional service throughout."
