10 Solar Panel Installation
Posted 4 days ago
Excellent experience with solar panels plus battery
We had a great experience with DES Renewable Energy from start to finish. At the quotation stage, everything was explained in detail and I felt that a system was being designed to actually reflect our personal use, the type of roof and orientation of our house. The realistic generation potential and also the downsides were also explained. I felt that other quotes we got were simply package deals offering the exact same equipment every time. Richard, the designer was very prompt and patient in answering queries. The pre-installation survey process was very comprehensive.

DES Renewables - Highly Recommended
DES provided excellent service throughout our whole experience with them. Conversations with the system designer, Darren were extremely helpful in explaining what would work best for us. Emails were promptly answered in detail. At no time did I feel pressurised into making a decision The installation team were fantastic, roofer Steve, electricians Rhys andSpencer. They worked in a very professional and respectful manner. Spencer was great at explaining the apps and system offering plenty of support. I would not hesitate to recommend the company to others.Job location: BA1410 Renewable Energy

Zappi EV charger Installation
Excellent service from start to finish! I hired DES Renewable Energy Ltd to install a Zappi EV charger at my home, and they did a phenomenal job. They arrived right on time, walked me through the optimal placement of the EV charger, and completed the installation quickly and cleanly. They even took the time to help me set up the app and test it with my car before leaving. Highly professional, transparent pricing, and zero hassle. Highly recommend!Verified reviewerJob location: SN110 Solar Panel Installation

Very professional team that took pride in their work
Had solar panels, battery and matebox supply installed by these guys and from the start they were the most helpful- no high pressure sales just advice and the sort of advice that came like what they would do if it were their property. I asked a lot of questions and it was handled professionally and courteously the whole time. This is a firm that has been around a while doing electrical work not one thats sprung up to jump on the solar bandwagon - these guys have a background in the important bit- and that shows- the install team were extremely professional and took a lot of pride in their workVerified reviewerJob location: BH21
