The Solar & Renewables Co. Ltd

Our goal was to get solar in place, but we had several things to do first, including replacing the existing roof. George and team were very flexible, able to work around the various times when they could do (due to weather and other work we had going on). They were able to deliver things in a phased way that was beneficial to us - installing the battery and inverter early, which meant we could make better use of our overnight cheap electricity All work was completed to budget and delivered on agreed timescales. Great communication - from explaining things early on to support after the install. There were some minor issues, but all were worked out to our satisfaction.

George and Mark were very helpful, explained things very well and took trouble to make sure we understood how things were going. They were prompt in answering our queries. The installation process was prolonged as we needed a flat roof replaced but all the workmen were efficient, helpful and friendly. They were recommended by a neighbour and I'm delighted with the outcome.

Our new solar system (21 panels, 10 kWh battery, and Zappi) was up and running yesterday afternoon — and it was so cool seeing the panels making “lecky” (electricity)! George, Mark, and their team were superb. As others have said, the process starts with George visiting in person, armed with his fancy drone that measures and maps your roof. He discovered we could fit 21 panels up there — this after another company told us our roof wasn’t even suitable for panels (haha). Like another reviewer mentioned, our consumer unit is awkwardly located in the middle of the house under the stairs, but George came up with a smart, workable solution. He also set up the Zappi so it can never drain the battery — an issue you’ll see discussed online, especially if you’re on Octopus Intelligent Go. The roofers arrived promptly at 7:30 a.m. on installation day, with the electricians not far behind. Mark and George were also on site, making sure everything ran like clockwork. From start to finish, it was a completely stress-free experience — such a nice group of people, all of them. They clearly take pride in their work, and their professionalism is impeccable. If you can, go local. That’s what we did — and it means the same people you read about in the reviews are the ones who turn up and do the job. We haven’t got an EV yet, but when we do (soon!), I won’t hesitate to call George and Mark again.

Superb team. Reliable, thorough, speedy, and charming. They sent up a drone to check the layout and provided a fully detailed spec and responded to queries quickly and thoroughly. Cannot fault them. I had two options and chose The Solar & Renewables Co. Ltd because of their thorough assessment and comprehensive documentation (and they are a Which? trusted company).

The Solar Co recently installed 15 panels on our flat roofs, an inverter and battery in the loft, and an EV charger at the front of the house. The work was exceptional. Their team of roofers and electricians were friendly, professional and completed everything efficiently by 2pm. What really impressed me was their willingness to do things other companies refused. Octopus Energy said we could only have 7 panels, wouldn’t work on flat roofs, and wouldn’t install the battery or inverter in the loft. They also planned to run visible cabling through the house. The Solar Co managed to run everything under the floors, leaving no mess or damage. Mark and George, who run the business, were brilliant—clear communication throughout and on-site during the job to check everything was done to a high standard. They also made sure we understood how everything worked before leaving. After the install, they stayed in touch to finalise paperwork for grid export and returned free of charge to adjust one slightly shaded panel. They’ve been helpful and responsive from start to finish. Even our neighbour booked them after seeing the quality of their work. Highly recommended!

George and Mark have been amazing to work with. From the first meeting with George, it was evident that he's passionate about what he does and fully understands the intricacies of the pre-install calculations to enable him to advise on the best set up required for our personal needs. He and Mark have an excellent team, who are polite, hard working and very professional. They kept to time and are very reliable. One of the most reassuring things was that they have extremely high standards of install, and a highly qualified and expert electrician, to ensure the correct fitment and cabling. They use excellent roofers whose work was completed to a high standard and I was not overcharged - they also reviewed the condition of my roof and made sensible cost effective suggestions, which were completed at the same time. Since the install, George has ensured that all the paperwork was completed with the network company and supplier and that the system was working perfectly. In addition, after a visit from Octopus, a misplacement of sensors resulted in a problem, which George very kindly arranged for his own electrician to come out and sort, rather than me trying to chase Octopus for a re-visit. For years I had hesitated about getting solar, purely because of concerns as to who to get it done by. I can wholeheartedly recommend George, Mark and his team at the Solar Co, and can also confirm that communication continues even after the job, whenever I have any questions.

We were recommended The Solar Co. by nearby friends who'd used them for their solar panels, and we're so glad they did. We used The Solar Co. to reinstate our entire roof (ready for solar panels) and remove an unused chimney stack, and to then install 21 panels feeding through to a Sunsynk inverter and 16kWh Fogstar battery. We're thrilled with the results. Great communication from the start and an end product that exactly matched what was described in the quote. Pragmatic solutions were proposed and agreed upon for the few inevitable issues that arose - we felt engaged and consulted with throughout. The attention to detail and pride in their work was evident at every step, and they kept in regular contact (in person, by text and by email as needed) to keep our minds at rest. All questions were answered quickly and clearly, the latter being particularly useful as we are solar novices (so had some very basic questions to address). All in all, if you're looking for a solar installation then The Solar Co. will do you proud. Thanks gents!

Great communications from the start to the finish. Easy company to do business with. They did exactly what they said they would and exactly when they said they would do it. Not often you can say these days. Really nice team and although it's early days the product seems to be working great too.

George and Mark have been excellent to work with from start to finish. In fact, they were speaking to me about the job for well over a year before it even started and have always been available to offer their advice. I have been so impressed with their attention to detail and expertise, and would recommend them in a heartbeat.

Brilliant company, panels, batteries and all wiring was done within a day. George and his colleagues were very informative about what the the system could achieve and which energy plans-companies I should be going with
