Review Time
In Oct 25, my wife & I had a solar panel system installed by DES renewable Energy Ltd. onto the roof of our home. The work was successfully completed on time and without incident. Unfortunately, we had to ask for post installation assistance on two separate occasions. Communications after the event were helpful & professional & both incidents were resolved quickly and to my entire satisfaction. The process from initial contact, through installation & the after sales service has been helpful and constructive throughout. I am very happy to endorse this company.
DES Renewable Energy are an excellent company which began from my initial enquiry, followed by the quotation then the survey and the installation. All members of the team were extremely helpful and professional. In my experience I would highly recommend them.
Richard has created 3 proposal and answered all my questions. When install time has come, Jack, Spenser and Brandon has done splendid job, super efficient and quick.the roof work - Brandon and Spenser done it in no time and it looks great. The cabling was done by Jack - very neat and done exactly as I asked for. The unit required remote firmware upgrade, so Jack stayed back to make sure it’s all perfect and demoed it to me. Thanks guys. Super. Would 100% recommend.
DES have just completed a solar and battery installation and I am more than happy with their work ethic.Helpful, professional and thorough. Jack and Spencer (electric)) and Brendon and Steve (roof) were all very helpful, knowledgable and polite. I highly recommend DES if you are considering an installation. Five stars, Well done.
From our initial enquiry everything was explained clearly and several options and costings provided. We delayed making a final decision for 12 months but were never pestered or had pressure put upon us to go ahead.The installation was carried out with little disruption and all wiring and equipment installation done very neatly.
I’m extremely pleased with the service provided by DES Renewable Energy Ltd, who recently installed a Solar PV and battery storage system at my property. From the outset, their communication was prompt, clear, and professional. They took the time to explain all the available options in detail and walked me through the entire installation process, which gave me real confidence in my decision.The onsite team were excellent: Stuart and Paul carried out the solar panel installation, while Jack and Spencer handled the electrical side. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, and very efficient. The whole installation was completed quickly, smoothly, and without any issues, taking just a day and a half.I’m very happy with the end result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend DES Renewable Energy Ltd to anyone considering solar and battery storage.
Good explanation of the system by Oliver in the sales meeting. Actual installation took two days. Great job by Ben & Spencer on electricals and Stuart & Paul on roofwork. The scaffold was up a few days in advance and afterwards, total 8 days, which I gather is about normal, but bear that in mind if you don't like to leave a house unattended when it's covered in scaffolding. Ours survived Storm Goretti, so was obviously solid (even if the team did damage my cherry tree when they dismantled it!).I like the fact that the whole team are part of DES (except the scaffolders who were MM Scaffolding in my case), so you just have one point of contact both before and after installation. Documentation was comprehensive and timely, including all the necessary certificates.When trying to assess the payback it helps to understand discounted cash flow and do your own calculations. Simply dividing the price of the system by the annual savings will give an artificially short payback period. There are inevitably many major assumptions in the illustrations in the sales pack, which could affect payback by many years. Whether the system will increase the value of your house is also a matter of opinion.You need to make sure you get on an appropriate tariff. Oliver was supposed to contact me after the installation to give guidance on this, but never did. However, it didn't matter, because ours is a Fox system (battery plus inverter) and I can highly recommend the "TonyM1958 FoxESS-Cloud" page on the github website: (sorry, Trustpilot won't let me paste a link) for fantastic guidance on understanding and using the Fox app and even programming the system yourself if you want.We're on Octopus and can recommend them. They have tariffs specifically designed for solar systems. You get paid for exporting excess energy to the grid. This takes a few weeks to kick in. Ours hasn't yet, but everything else is looking good. Even in January we have been exporting quite a bit to the grid, and the battery charging/discharging and all other aspects of the system seem to be working very well.
DES were great, we had an initial meeting which was a couple of hours on an evening where they answered all of our questions. Once we decided to go with it, we had constant updates, and a contact all the way through. When it came to install, our electrician they provided happened to be sick on the day, but they kept us updated and got someone else within 2 days. They even gave me step by step instructions on how to work with the energy company to get the export up an running. Would definitely recommend.
Darren Hart's advise and information was excellent. Too early to see if estimates of Energy produced are accurate. Installation team were great except they had to remove all the panels when they discovered they had forgotten the Optimisers, but still all completed in a day. All packaging and rubbish was removed except for a few bits and pieces in the attic. Scaffolders arrived a day late due to a puncture and they took 3 weeks after installation to remove scaffolding.
