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.
Top quality people, installation and equipment - highly recommended. Ours is an installation on a flat roof at the rear of a loft conversion, in a conversation area in Ken & Chelsea. This means there are restrictions on what can be done, but Mark and Geoege were very familiar with the rules and confident in recommending what was allowed. They made good suggestions and dealt well with my (many) questions patiently and swiftly, before we settled on an optimum plan. This even made use of some scaffolding that was on the next building, making the whole installation as cost-effective as possible. We went from enquiry to plan to installation in 4 weeks Installation was also very efficient. The team was onsite at 0730 and had finished the whole job - panels, inverter, battery, Uninterruptable Power Supply and car charger - by 1500hrs, when the system started working. They worked hard, were unfailingly polite, took off shoes indoors, and tidied up well. They promise ongoing support and help with tarrifs, etc so I am looking forward to many years of good service. Thanks!
I’ve had an impeccable experience from start to finish. From the very first enquiry, the team responded quickly and professionally. George took the time to properly understand my motivations for installing solar, ensuring the system was tailored to what mattered most to me rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution. His communication style was also perfectly pitched to my level of knowledge, which made the whole process feel clear and collaborative. The initial site visit was excellent and immediately built trust and confidence in the delivery. The projections provided were transparent and helpful, clearly outlining expected benefits, as well as recommended tariffs and overall strategy. Mark’s pre-installation survey was equally thorough, capturing all the detail needed to ensure a smooth installation and reinforcing confidence in the team. Installation day itself was seamless. The team were respectful, worked around parking restrictions without issue, and left everything clean and tidy. The system looks great, and the extra touch of cleaning the roof lights while they were up there didn’t go unnoticed. Post-installation, George shared a comprehensive Google Drive folder containing photos, product manuals, and all certification, which was incredibly helpful. Since installation, generation has been strong, setting up the export tariff was straightforward, and I’m already seeing the financial benefits. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering solar.
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 requested Solar panels and storage to be installed having been recommended The Solar Co. The pre install and discussions about how many panels, size, location and battery capacity was easy, friendly and very straight forward. The day of install was staggeringly fast, starting at 8 am and completing at 4pm. As soon as the power was connected we started generating electricity despite it not being sunny. An excellent service both pre and post. One thing to note is that the setting up of the link between inverter and router was done discretely and very quickly at the time of the install. But if for any reason you change or update your router, the procedure to link the App to the system is quite complex, somewhat baffling and requires patience and a steady hand. Especially if you're doing it remotely. Happily for us, George took us through the steps one by one so we managed to reconnect everything as before.
