10 Solar Panel Installation
Posted 04 November
Thinking of solar energy? Then look no further
From the initial desktop estimate, through the site survey, the scaffolders, the roof panel installation team to the electricians, everyone at DES has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. 5 star service from a team of professionals.Verified reviewerJob location: RH1610 Solar Panel Installation

Very Professional
The key thing that stood out for me was the communication from start to finish. The whole team were a pleasure to deal with and everything got done when and how they said it would. I could not fault them. I would recommend them to anybody looking to get solar fitted.Verified reviewerJob location: SO2310 Solar Panel Installation

Highly Recommended
DES were recommended by a friend.The process and experience from start to finish with them was as good as it could be. Highly informative at the start without being pushy, detailed quotes that fitted well with our requirements and both the scaffolding and installation teams were great. Half a day for each with absolutely minimum disruption. Wouldn't use anyone else for future work, and would be very happy to recommend them to anyone.Verified reviewerJob location: TA59.67 Solar Battery Storage

I'd be happy to use DES again
System fitted mid august 2026. Great advice from Rowan on system design. Work from scaffolding, electrician and roofers was very tidy and I was kept well informed. Post installation I spotted roofing felt had been damaged in fixing the panels but had no quibbles and roofers came back to do a good repair (still to have a long period of rain to test though). Goodwe ESA battery and Aiko panels working really well so far and only now having to sometimes draw energy into the battery during the 2am-5am cheap window. I would definitely use DES againVerified reviewerJob location: SO22
