ASK Renewables Limited

We decided to explore the world of all thing solar a couple of years ago having just bought our first EV. Finding an installer proved to be a challenge so we decided to put the whole project on the back burner. Recently we became aware that a close friend had had quite an extensive system installed by ASK Renewables so we decided to approach them for a quotation. The whole experience from first contact to installation was first rate. The surveyor explained everything in detail, in simple layman’s terms; the resultant quotation was very detailed showing equipment to be installed and projected payback period. The three man installation team arrived on time and got straight to work. The whole installation of 14 panels, Inverter, two batteries, ancillary equipment and associated cabling took just four hours. Before we knew it the system was connected to our home WIFI and as quick as that we were up and running. The inverter and batteries are installed in the loft area which is not used as habitable space with isolation switches and import/export meter mounted on the wall of the loft stairs the over side of the wall from the inverter making the whole installation extremely neat and tidy . We think the team did a brilliant job and they obviously took pride in their workmanship. Before leaving the electrician showed us how to operate/monitor the system using the LUX app. We are now benefitting from reduced bills and solar energy meeting our normal daily consumption on most days.

This company provided and excellent service and took great pains to ensure that the installation was as we desired. We had a battery fail after a couple of weeks and the company came out within a few days and provided us with a new one. I would highly recommend this service

(Disclaimer: we have had to postpone our installation due to unforeseen issues with our roof.) We found Ask Renewables via a friend's recommendation and they immediately stood out from the crowd by beginning with a visit from one of their surveyors to discuss the project and measure up and inspect the state of things. Our surveyor, Matt was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable without being the slightest bit pushy. We had some very specific requirements for what we wanted (we wanted a fully non-internet connected but fully API controllable system) and Matt really took the time to properly understand our needs, in our case spending over two and a half hours with us and much more time refining things afterwards, eventually managing to squeeze far more panels than we had hoped into the space available. They also put in a lot of work to source and research the system which met our needs (which was not something they regularly installed). The final proposal came with substantially more detailed analysis of the shading and potential performance characteristics (along with extremely comprehensive discussion of the details on request) than I have seen from any other provider. To cap it all off, the price was extremely competitive, despite the many bespoke elements of the system. Unfortunately an unlucky roof situation has forced us to postpone our installation for a while but we will absolutely be returning to Ask to do the job.

Can thoroughly recommend. The team were all professional, timely and helpful. Can't commend them highly enough.

I obtained several quotes for a Solar PV System, however Ask Renewables was one of the few that actually wanted to come out and do a site visit. Their surveyor Matt visited and discussed at length my options and the costings involved, he then went away and produced some full written proposals for me to decide on. These were left with me, with no pressure to buy etc. having compared the quotes and services provided, I had no hesitation in opting for Ask Renewables, their service was far superior and the quote very reasonable. The process of getting National Grid approval etc was then completed and a fitting date agreed. On the fitting day the team of two arrived and efficiently set about the process of installing the system, both were efficient and friendly. Within 5 or 6 hours the system was fully installed and fully working. Within a few days the commissioning pack and certificates arrived. Ask Renewables were professional throughout and gave a service second to none and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

When we decided to venture into the world of solar panels we decided to use the Which Trusted Trader site to source one of the installers. We chose ASK Renewables as they appeared to have good reviews. This was incorrect, they were excellent. The whole process from first phone call to post installation follow up, was first class. The surveyor was very knowledgeable but explained things so that even I could understand, including the benefit of a battery backed installation. This is what we chose and before we expected it we were contacted with a proposed installation date. The installation team turned up on time and were very professional and courteous. Just after lunch I was explaining to my wife that it would probably take about 2 days to complete, when the electrician was asking for my WIFI password to connect the system to. The system was fully installed and was being finally commissioned. Absolutely brilliant. The inverter and batteries were installed in the loft, and I didn't even know they had been upstairs. Why didn't we do this earlier? We are now benefitting from massively reduced bills and solar energy is meeting our base load most days. Would I recommend ASK Renewables - absolutely, with no hesitation.

Ask Renewables was the 3rd company that we approached to fit solar panels on our house and I am so glad that we choose them after 2 failed attempts with other contractors. I can’t praise them enough. They checked what we wanted and what we needed; they listened before drawing up a plan. The plan was excellent and exceptionally well-priced. The installation was smooth and timely, they literally worked around a garden full of honeybees. I couldn’t quite believe that after more than two years of trying we had solar panels and an effective battery system. The system links with our current energy providers solar tariff and we have already seen our electricity bills cut by a good 70%. On the few sunny days since the installation in February we have seen our 9Kwh battery full before midday and even on the frequent dull days the power has covered most of our household usage. The real bonus is that our system contributes to the grid, every bit helps to make the UK greener! The company deserves its “Which Best Trader” listing. It is rare to find such kindness, efficiency and competitiveness all in one company.

I have had a 14 panel system fitted with 2 batteries and 6 optimisers. In addition I have had bird guards fitted on the panels as well as some plug points to the batteries. The service has been brilliant. I got a personal visit to my property for a proper assessment of what would be best and loads of time spent with me. I was not chased too much for a sale and took a few weeks to discuss, research and get the best set up and deal for me. Install was quick and efficient and the help from the ASK team on everything including tariffs and operating the system has been first class.

I have recently had solar panels, batteries and and inverter installed by Ask renewables, and would highly recommend them to anyone. They were very professional throughout and I am extremely happy with the system they installed. The process went through very smoothly, and felt the advice offered at each step, including checking if I had any issues and advice about how to get the most out of the system, was very useful.

After being quoted by a few different companies for Tesla, GivEnergy and Sunsync products, we decided to go with Tom Matthews at Ask Renewables & the Luxpower system. Tom/Ask Renewables were the only company that came well prepared to answer questions (with datasheets, etc), carry out a roof inspection and a shading analysis. Tom designed a system to our specific requirements which was a high kw inverter that could do a full house back-up during a power cut. After taking a couple of months for our DNO to be approved by Northern PowerGrid, Ask Renewables were quick to come and fit our system once we got the go-ahead. The site installers, Dino and Liam, came and did a neat and tidy job. The system has not disappointed at all. By strange coincidence we have had 2 3-hour power cuts since the install date and we were able to carry on as normal during these outages. We are taking advantage of charging the batteries during the Octopus Flux cheap rate and discharging them during the Octopus Flux peak rate. I want to thank the team at Ask Renewables (Tom, Samantha, Karyn, Dino & Liam) for supplying the system. Also, special thanks to Ed who has supported us after installation and has quickly dealt with any issues we have had.
