FEC Renewables

We had an outstanding experience with FEC Renewables Ltd. Although they’re based in Rotherham, they came out to assess and install our system at our home near Newark-on-Trent, and the entire process was seamless from start to finish. Mark Alexander in sales provided clear, comprehensive explanations right from the beginning, taking the time to ensure we fully understood the system and our options. The whole project was then carefully planned and organised by the owner, Oliver French, who was equally personable and generous with his time and advice. Our installation involved a fair amount of paperwork, including obtaining a DNO certificate, but Jackie and Elise were always available to explain each stage and kept us fully informed as everything progressed. Nothing ever felt rushed, and any questions we had were answered promptly and clearly. Overall, this is a very impressive and cohesive team who clearly take pride in both their workmanship and their customer service. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend FEC Renewables Ltd to anyone considering solar installation. For our system, we chose the EcoFlow Power Ocean setup with two 5 kW batteries, a 6 kW inverter, and 22 × 455 W panels. Oliver managed to fit two additional panels for us, bringing the total system size to approximately 11 kW. We understand the inverter can handle up to 13 kW, and the batteries are stackable, with the option to add two more in the future should we decide to expand. The whole project came in on time and on budget at £11,655. As this was clearly a major investment, the payback period was very important to us. The OpenSolar prediction estimated a 5-year payback. However, after running the system for nearly a year and reviewing our actual performance data, my own calculations suggest it is likely to be closer to 4.5 years — which is even better than expected. A sincere thank you to Oliver and the whole team at FEC Renewables for such a positive experience from start to finish.

Deciding to have solar panels we had a couple of quotes for comparison and pleased to say Oliver FEC RENEWABLES LTD proved to be the one we chose , efficient and reliable installation of the equipment on the day. We experienced helpful and positive assistance from Oliver with the paperwork and warranty.

From initial enquiry to installation and then post sales aftercare FEC have been there with me. The plunge into solar led to wide ranging quotations from a number of suppliers but FEC were the only ones to arrange a call to scope out what I was looking for and arrange an in person visit from Oliver. Oliver came when he said he would and looked at all the options with me; discussing different equipment options and prices; and answered any queries I had. Jackie and the back office team then took care of all the paperwork which given some oversight of a previous EV Installer was more complicated than should have been but the team were great keeping me informed and gained the approvals necessary; and even came back to me when a new variant was released just a week or so before my install to see if I wanted to swap or stick as was. They also allowed me to add an EV charger to the system without any issue. & amended the paperwork after realising a mistake I’d made when ordering which given the volume that’s generated due to the certifications was appreciated Morning of the install and the electrician was here bright and early to verify nothing had changed and then go for the parts needed; then the rest of the team arrived and set to with the works required. All done in one day, rubbish taken away, Oliver visited whilst the team were here and checked everything was going to plan. A great installation and currently discussing an expansion to the battery system and FEC are on my list when the boiler plays up to look at swapping to an Heat Pump & maybe some localised Solar on a separate building. 16 Aiko Panels 10kWh Ecoflow Battery Storage 6kw Ecoflow inverter Ecoflow PowerPulse 2 EV charger Bird netting 2 sides scaffolding G99 & EV charger approvals

We are very pleased that we chose FEC Renewables to install our solar panels, battery, heat pump and EV charger. Oliver came all the way from Doncaster to County Durham to explain how everything would proceed and after comparing some other quotes it was a straightforward decision to go with this company. The installation took a week, starting with the plumbing team who replaced several radiators and put in the large water tank and heat pump plus kindly installing some new outside taps at the front of the house. Then the electricians who wired everything up and threw in a second light switch for our garage free of charge. Finally the panel installers including Oliver himself who turned up towards the end and made some improvements to the original design plus kindly helped me install some hooks in the garage wall to hold a barbell. Everyone was helpful and polite throughout. All has been left very neat and tidy and everything has been working very smoothly for six months so far. It did take about nine weeks before we could get paid for the energy we sent to the grid, which was a bit frustrating in such a glorious late Spring. However that was mostly out of FEC's control. After sales care has been excellent and just recently Oliver was very helpful with some advice about how to get the best use from our car charger via the app.We'll see how the heat pump copes with winter demands but up to now we declare ourselves very happy with the whole process and strongly recommend this company. If my parents decide to have panels installed, I will certainly point them in the direction of this company!

From the moment I got in touch with FEC Renewable LTD, I knew I was dealing with a company that genuinely cares. It’s a family-run business, and that really comes through in how they treat their customers. Oliver was fantastic—he didn’t just send over a quote based on Google Maps like others did. He actually came out to inspect the property, took the time to understand what I needed, and gave a proper, thoughtful recommendation. He suggested a system with 10 x 450W panels, an inverter, a battery, and a new fuse board—far more comprehensive than what I was offered elsewhere, and at a very competitive price. What really stood out was the lack of any pushy sales tactics. It was all about what was right for me, which made the decision to go with FEC an easy one. The day before installation, I got a call confirming everything and letting me know when the team would arrive. They showed up right on time and just got on with it while I worked from home. They were polite, professional, and efficient. They asked for a quick tour to confirm where everything would go, and then split into teams—roofers on the panels, electricians on the rest. By the end of the day, everything was installed, cleaned up, and explained clearly—including how to use the app to monitor the system. Oliver even followed up with a call to make sure everything was working well and to see if I had any questions. Since the install, I’ve already noticed the benefits: My electricity bills are lower I’m using clean, renewable energy I’ve got backup power thanks to the battery And I feel good knowing I’m doing my bit for the environment If you’re thinking about solar, I can’t recommend FEC Renewable LTD enough. They made the whole process smooth, personal, and stress-free.

We were very pleased with the installation, Day 1 installed the batteries, day 2 installed the solar panels. Installation very tidy no mess left. We are now very happy with the results roll on with the sunny weather.

FEC have been a great firm to deal with. We were unhappy with the proposals from first company we approached about a heat pump installation – it seemed that firm had a limited set of options and just couldn’t meet our needs. We’d almost given up but decided to try one more time. FEC were very helpful, had a larger range of options and equipment and their price was competitive. Installation went smoothly over four days. The heat pump is unobtrusive and very quiet. Their workers were all pleasant and efficient; minor niggles were promptly sorted and we’re very happy with the new system. I’d definitely recommend asking them to quote for your plans.

FEC Renewables did an excellent job! Great workmanship throughout. Oliver is a very pleasant and professional guy, and his team was efficient and hardworking. The father and son plumbing team were also fantastic—quick, tidy, and clearly experienced. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Outstanding installation carried out by FEC Renewables. From start to finish the customer was kept informed of installation dates, minor disruption that may happen, progress of installation, completion of installation and commissioning of system. Also there for any technical information required after the installation. Customer deeply satisfied. Well done to all at FEC Renewables for their continued strive for perfection. If this installation is a measuring stick, then you are not far off achieving it. *****5 star rating*****

Fantastic customer service from start to finish, had ev charger fitted with solar panels Craig was brilliant everything he promised we got, even down to the times the scaffoldders would turn up to the engineers and electricians would turn spot on, the lads worked hard all day and left our house clean and tidy and are a credit to the company, all done in the day, and a fantastic finish, if anyone is thinking of having solar panels fitted I would highly recommend fec renewables for a very good price and a spot on finish, once again thank you

FEC installed a complete 12kW Air Source Heat Pump and associated storage tank in just over 3 weeks from quotation, site survey , installation and commissioning. Of the three companies we contacted they were the most professional and competitive. Communication has been brilliant and staff very efficient. Now looking into getting our solar system updated by them. Well done Oliver and his team.

issues resolved amicably

Great set of guys that want the best outcome for you as the customer, done a lovely neat install both on the roof and in the garage, Price was inline with others but the service and support seems much better, overall very pleased with Oliver and the Team and would highly recommend.

Excellent service from Oliver and his team. Very knowledgeable, efficient and perfect installation. Tidy work, great priced, great after support. Thank you! Keep it up guys!

After installing solar panels, we noticed pigeons nesting behind them. A neighbor, who has similar panels with guards to prevent birds and wildlife from getting behind them, recommended FEC Renewables. When we reached out to them, they provided two options: a solar guard like our neighbor's and wire netting. Both options were competitively priced and more affordable than other quotes we had received. We decided to go with the solar guards because they look better and seem sturdier than wire netting, which we've seen birds damage by pecking at it. The guards not only prevent this issue but also give the panels a more seamless appearance with the house. Oliver and his team installed the guards within a week of our initial contact. They completed the work in just three hours and left no mess behind. Thank you to Oliver and his team; I would happily recommend them to others.

We have been very happy from the service provided by FEC Renewables. Oliver has gone above and beyond to ensure the system was adequate for our needs and has been at the end of the phone if we had any questions. His team which installed the system was very polite & professional and did an exceptional job given the tasks of the number of Velux windows on the roof. I would highly recommend FEC renewables if you are looking for a solar powered installation and although we are only weeks into the change over we are already noticing a significant decrease in our bills.

From receiving my Solar Energy Proposal from FEC Renewables to install has taken under 2 weeks. Exceptionally fast and efficient company. Communication from the team is great, really appreciated Oliver (Company Director) reaching out personally. I had plenty of questions on day of install and team were receptive and answered any questions I had. Bird proofing not within the teams vans on install day, however this wasn’t an issue - the install team went straight out to get some to ensure a timely fit on the same day. I would highly recommend FEC Renewables.

Already spent £10k it’s been nearly 6 months I didn’t get any benefits only I did pay more already have proof, the company make more profit and you pay for this profit

I am delighted to have the opportunity to leave a review of FEC renewables. From my very first point of contact I have found this company very responsive. We started with an arranged survey. The company representative arrived on time and completed the survey in about an hour I was left with a very professional quote and all the information about my up and coming system. The installation date was arrange within a week. and again the guys doing the installation were on time, very well trained and knowable and kept me informed (to me very important) through out the day. Any concerns I had was quickly discussed and I was left with total confidence they knew their job. They followed my instructions about wiring routes to the letter so I am left with a very neat installation. Within 24h despite it being a bank holiday weekend I had a fully working system, saving me grid electricity from the word go. The Company has been very responsive to any questions I have subsequently had. Frankly I would be hard pressed to find any faults with the company and process. The price for my system was very competitive and I would recommend anyone considering having a solar and battery system installed to get a quote from this company

Massive thank you to Oliver and his team for the work they have carried out on my property, from the initial pre instillation survey to completion everything was done professionally. Highly recommend Thank you again.

Timely. Did work well and efficiently. Would use again. Open to discussion and negotiation. Want to accommodate. Know their stuff.

Can't fault the effort that the FEC-R install team and Oliver put in to help achieve the first step into a friendlier footprint with renewables. Not quite to the exact detail of my original specifications (landscape orientation and would prefer for EPS to be wired) but close enough with working together to overcome challenges. I would highly recommend using FEC-R and when Oliver makes a site visit, explain every detail and he will deliver. Not the cheapest of three quotes but i feel the right choice was made.

Great experience, fast installation , great customer service. Very happy with the panels highly recommend FEC Renewables LTD

The solar panels were installed during last December by FEC Renewables, as they seemed to offer far the best price-value ratio compared to the companies I managed to get a quote from. Almost a year has passed and the yield of the panels are already significantly more than what was predicted, which is great. On top of that, they do a very supportive, excellent customer service. I can recommend this company with full confidence.

Prompt,efficient service from quotation to installation(team who installed,A1) see photo of battery etc.Would recommend FEC for renewables.

Excellent workmanship Reliable and timely in carrying out work Prompt responses to to any questions/queries Would highly recommend

FEC gave a very competitive quote, they provided a realistic view on what the system would produce energy wise and the installation was completed on time and quickly. Would (and have) recommended them to friends and family.

Oliver sold this installation by his positive, confident and competent attitude and competitive quotation. The work was completed quickly and to a high standard.

I cannot recommend this company enough - they were the most competitive in terms of price and provided excellent customer service. When we were looking at panels, they were one of the few companies that sent someone out to us to review our roof before we made any commitment, including any up front fees - a lot of the companies wanted to charge for the survey. And from that point on they did everything they said they would. The installation of a battery and solar panels took place all in one day, including the erection of the scaffolding. The guys on site were brilliant, very friendly and great at explaining what was going to happen during the installation, what would be required (such as when the electricity would need to go off, what they would need access to, etc) and then how to use the kit and the accompanying App at the end of the day. The following day we thought we had an issue with our electrics as a consequence of the installation - as it happens the fault was a coincidence and nothing to do with the solar, but even so the team came back out as soon as we spoke to them to help us solve the problem - no questions asked! I had done my research before making the purchase and read good reviews, but I thought they were too good to be true - the cheapest price and a good service. But it's true - if you are thinking of solar, this company is a great choice.

I got 12 panels, 5KW Inverter and 8.6Kw battery installed. Installation happened with a day as promised. Apart from a few teething problems which got sorted promptly everything is working well with the system. Oliver, Craig, the electricians, Joe and Joe are a great team. I will definitely recommend FEC Renewables for your Solar system installation.

After been told my house tiles was hard to work with as there rosemary tiles. I was looking for a company who could install on them and with confidence. I was worried and nervous about install but FEC Renewables reassured and I have to say I'm very Happy with my 5kw system and battery. All the workers was polite and worked in extremely hot conditions. Joe and Oliver have been fantastic for advice and even after the install. There was one incident with scaffolding hitting my bifold doors but was a accident and very apologetic and has been repaired with no hassle. I would recommend FEC renewables if your looking for solar panels. Even used my drone to capture some photos of the job 😁. Problem with solar panels performance at the minute hopefully get fixed Will update on my review after the fix. Issue seems to big fixed now. Most was givenergy updates in my inverter.

I have had a 5.8kW system installed by FEC with a 9.5kW Givenergy Battery. The installation was handled extremely well by Oliver and his team and the performance has been excellent. My projected payback on the investment is on track as well as reducing C02 emmisions and creating a selling point for my property.

Contacted FEC Renewables for a quote, and received a visit from a very friendly advisor in Dan, he took us through what solar was, how to get the best out of it, and advised us what we needed. We agreed a price, and he was able to give us an installation date there and then. The team that did the installation were very friendly and knowledgeable, and did a great job, doing all in one day. Later that day I received a quick call from Oliver to check that everything had gone well and that we were satisfied with everything. All in all a very good experience.

Excellent, very timely service and on the date as agreed. The lads that came round to fit it all were very professional and considerate. I had some problems with understanding and adjusting software to suit my needs. However, FEC (Oliver) was easy to contact and answered my queries immediately every time and even adjusted my settings remotely to optimise the functionality. Very pleased and would highly recommended FEC to anyone. My thanks to them and in particularly to Oliver.

If you are thinking of getting solar panels and battery give. FEC Renewables a call . The serves you get from Oliver and Craig plus the work force is excellent . Fantastic quick reliable serves . I highly recommend this company as they are very very polite and nothing is to much trouble. They are very responsive to call backs on any issues that may occur. They also do a follow up to make sure all is running well I gave them a full 5 Star+ as they are amazing and super efficient Well done guys

Very happy with my Solar installation. Would highly recommend FEC renewables .

After having a solar installation performed by another company when went out of business which left us an unfinished system and I was left in an awkward situation . Oliver and the team at fecr stepped in to Finnish the remaining work and help obtain all of the paperwork. Very fast from first contact to work completed and went out of their way to ensure we felt comfortable after our previous experience. Thanks again

Massive Thanks to FEC Renewables. Been a pleasure start to finish. Polite, professional and very competitive, genuinely nice guys not just looking for sales, truly passionate about renewables and it shows. If anybodys considering going solar these guys should be your stop! They also hoover up too

I've just had 10 Solar panels and 9.5kwh battery fitted. I wasn't sure what to expect, but after looking at the previous reviews I felt confident in my choice. I'm very happy to say I was not wrong. the professionalism that was shown was outstanding, along with the the speed and efficiency. My personal thanks to Joe & Joe for taking the time to explain each and every question I asked. Nothing was to much. And Also a big thanks to Oliver taking my call whenever I did Call. If you are thinking Of getting solar panels etc, you cannot go wrong with this company

Top company. Me and my brother have now had 4 houses done by FEC . All running perfectly! The app is amazing but addictive :-) Highly recommend this company. I used another company 5 years ago but had a bad experience and they disappeared! So I am very sceptical . Oliver and FEC has put my trust back in the solar industry.

I highly recommend FEC Renewables. I put out an enquiry on Bark, FEC Renewables were the first company to contact me. Oliver and his team listened to what we needed and worked with us to ensure we got the best system for us at a very competitive price. The installation team were extremely polite, friendly, tidy, and a pleasure to have in the house. The installation was completed in 2 days. Oliver followed up the installation to ensure that we were happy with everything and is more than happy to continue to answer any questions we have post installation.

Had 3 quotes from the start and fec renewables stood out from all the rest , best on price , best equipment and best overall customer service, everything they said they did from deposit to fitting within 3 weeks, very happy customer and highly recommend this firm to anybody looking for solar panel company’s! 5 ⭐️

I’ve just had my solar installed by FEC and couldn’t be happier. They worked with me on a payment plan, got all the paperwork done on my behalf, installed it in a day and have a great follow-up customer service. Definitely get them to come and see you if you’re considering solar.
