The Solar & Renewables Co. Ltd

Mark came out did a site survey and within a couple of weeks - scheduled the installation. The solar panel & battery install was done in a day. Mark and George were great - follow up questions were answered and they were helpful. Highly recommend.

We recently had solar panels and a battery installed by The Solar Co, and the whole experience was excellent. From first contact to installation, everything moved quickly and smoothly. The team arrived on time, worked efficiently, and completed the entire install in a single day without any disruption. The system was explained clearly, the workmanship is tidy, and the process felt genuinely well‑managed from start to finish. Highly recommend The Solar Co for anyone looking for a fast, professional solar installation.

George and his team were excellent from start to finish. I didn't realize installing solar would be this easy, at least that's the way they made it look!

Excellent service from start to finish. George, Mark and the team were professional, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole process. The installation of our solar panels, inverter and battery system was carried out efficiently and to a high standard, with clear communication at every stage. They were responsive to questions, explained everything properly, and made the handover straightforward with all the relevant documentation, certificates and commissioning information provided. I am very pleased with the system and the overall service. I would happily recommend The Solar & Renewables Co to anyone considering solar panels or battery storage.

We had solar panels and a battery installed at our home and couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. From the very first conversation through to installation and aftercare, Mark, Gerorge and the team were professional, knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. The installation itself was smooth, tidy and completed on schedule. The team clearly took pride in their work and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, which gave us real confidence in the system. Since installation, the system has been performing brilliantly and the battery has already made a noticeable difference to our energy usage. Any questions we’ve had have been answered quickly and clearly and customer service has been excellent throughout. If you’re considering solar, I honestly couldn’t recommend this company highly enough. A top-quality install, great communication and a team that really knows their stuff.

We found the Solar Company to be very response and answered all queries promptly. They were clear and concise in what they were going to do and delivered what they said they were going to do, when they said they were going to it. The installation was superb and they used scaffolding that provided safe access to the roof to install the panels. They were clean and tidy and the installation was straightforward taking care of our house. A local company that were brilliant, friendly and efficient.

George, Mark and the team did a great job getting our solar install in - despite the fact that our house kept throwing up challenges. The experience began well - no unnecessary upselling, a conversation about what our requirements were and a discussion that allowed us to get a system specified that met our needs with a bit of headroom and that was affordable. As the job went on and the aforementioned obstacles were thrown up, the team got things sorted quickly and always had a plan to adapt. The roofers that they worked with were top notch and did a fantastic renovation of our flat rooves to take the panels. All in all a great installation. I have to specifically call out the quality of advice and guidance throughout - things were recommended that were far from the easy option for them, but they were the right option.

George was very responsive. Came to see us promptly and provided a very competitive quotation. The work was carried in a timely fashion. All of the installation team were professional, courteous, skilled and friendly. We would highly recommend The Solar Co.

We contracted The Solar Co. to install a new roof incorporating integrated solar panels and a solar battery. We were extremely impressed with George and Mark’s professionalism and work ethic throughout the project. They kept us regularly updated on progress, answered all our questions promptly, and always made time to discuss options and next steps. We were so pleased with the quality of their work that we subsequently engaged them for several additional projects that had been long overdue — including replacing guttering, soil stacks, and a flat roof, as well as installing a new boiler, upgrading the underfloor heating, and carrying out some internal improvements. We would not hesitate to recommend George and Mark, and have received additional compliments from our neighbours on the excellent standard of their work.

We contacted The Solar Co after our inverter stopped working and George was super responsive and helpful. He came round to check out our current installation and gave us a couple of quotes (one to fix the problem and the other to install a battery). We ended up going for the latter and within a month we were back up and running better than before. Dan, Matt and the installation team did a fantastic job and worked so efficiently. They explained the new system to us really well and the team have been so responsive with questions we have had afterwards as well. We have been really happy with the experience and would definitely recommend them to everyone! Thank you guys so much!

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

George at Solar co visited us for an initial consultation and came up with a clever solution to maximise our Solar power production at a very reasonable cost. Mark visited for a more detailed survey and planning. The price of the installation would be only slightly higher than competitors’ prices, but with double the number of solar panels and a much larger storage battery this gave us a shorter break-even point for our initial expenditure. On the day of the installation the team were friendly and efficient and had installed all the solar panels before midday. The electrician completed the work in the afternoon with it up and running by 4:00 PM, with George and Mark regularly checking the routing of cables and conduit to ensure minimal visual impact. All electrical work appears to be of exceptional quality, and since installation, functioning and power output has been excellent, probably exceeding George’s predictions. The only issue we experienced was when the scaffolders dented the garage door which I didn't notice until the following day, but after calling George he came around within the hour and arranged a repair which was completed to a very high standard after just a few days. The repair is virtually invisible. Exceptionally Friendly, Communicative and Cooperative.

The Solar Co installed our solar panels and battery system a couple of years ago and it has been performing very well. At the end of last week we had what turned out to be a minor problem with a component. Our message to the company got a very fast response and they soon had us back up and running. Really good customer service from a friendly and helpful team.

We had a broken solar panel that needed replacing. I contacted George and Mark about a replacement and they got back to me in quick time. They offered me dates that they could come and replace it working around my work day. Once here they were very professional as usual, did the work to a great standard. I have recommended and would continue to recommend Solar Co to people wanting Solar. A really great company and team. Thanks again.

I relocated to Gloucestershire from SW London in 2024 & carried out an extensive extension & renovation of a 140 year old period cottage. There is no mains gas here and the existing property had oil fired heating from a big ugly tank in the garden. I wanted to run the property on electric only and to do so as cheaply as possible in order to insulate ourselves from possible electricity price increases. I knew it would involve batteries so I also wanted an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) in the event of a power cut. To my surprise I couldn’t find many solar companies out there that would offer this element. Mark & George at The Solar & Renewables Company had no issues at all with the UPS. They also advised I use the really smart GSE in roof system which looks amazing and also saved me a lot of money on slates! Their quote was extremely competitive & the work was all carried out in a single day at the exact time I needed it in the build schedule. Now we are living here and have had some decent weather I can see how George’s calculations were in no way optimistic! Our electric bill is tiny compared to our last house and even better it’s the only bill!! We also had a Mitsubishi Ecodan heat pump & hot water system installed by them taking advantage of the £7,500 grant available. The system is working really well, the house was like toast during the very cold weather we had this winter I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Solar and Renewables Company

Right from the initial enquiry I have been delighted. The service was professional and friendly, everything was completed as agreed, the team was helpful and efficient. From the first impressions to final completion everything was excellent.
