RLW Electrical & Solar Limited is repeatedly described as professional, friendly and efficient, with several reviewers reporting tidy installations and rubbish cleared away. Reviewers commonly mention clear explanations of solar and battery systems and helpful after-sales support, including app setup. One reviewer said the company was not the cheapest and advised against expecting to negotiate, while another said a cheaper installer had been chaotic before RLW helped finish the job. One reviewer reported a supplier fault in a connector that was found and corrected, and another mentioned issues mainly with suppliers being sorted out. One reviewer also reported broken roof tiles from storm damage being repaired.
Great service. Called for help with my EV charge point. All sorted within 24 hours. Really good to have someone local.
Very professional and courteous. Very happy with the installation and efficiency of the system.
After getting quotes for a solar/battery system we decided to go with another provider due to a cheaper price. The process with the cheaper installer was chaotic, inneficient and we were stalled without finding a solution to proceed. We then reached out to RLW and Ricky stepped in and helped us reach the finish line with the installation. Looking back, we should definitely have gone with Ricky from the start!
From the very first meeting discussing what system was best for us and still ongoing months after install RLW has been top class all the way through the process of having solar installed. Also competitive on price, we had a few quotes and I did fair bit research i decided on a system we wanted and found a cheaper price online, RLW provided me with a more competitive price so we decided to go with RLW , and using a local firm offers more support if we have issues with setup. We had 14x 450 kW panels Sigen 5kW Controller Sigen 9kw Battery Sigen 6kw Battery AC isolator Sigen Ev 7kW Charger Sigen panel sensors All installed in 1 day , scaffolding was up and down in couple days and they even repaired couple broken roof tiles from storm damage. We have had full support after install and advice on correct setup as all the Sigen setup uses Ai to monitor the grid and buys and sells our electricity when it’s cheapest and sells and best price , they also helped with getting our system registered with the grid and octopus energy. We can now sell back to the grid and not worry about electricity costs . Here is last months revenue. So happy with our system.
Found RLW by accident after the company we contacted stopped doing solar in our area, but they recommended Ricky and we are glad they did so - no better recommendation than from another solar company. Ricky was fantastic, no pushy sales, clear explanations of how solar, selling back to the grid and the different ways in which power can be prioritised from the different sources: panels, battery and grid. He also went through the benefits and projected savings, payback time, etc. and really gave us confidence that we were going to benefit. He recommended a system with 18 panels, 8kw inverter and 20kw battery based on a south, east and west trajectory. One thing I would say is that if you are looking to negotiate on the price and try to get a bargain, maybe this company is not for you - Ricky believes in his recommendation based on knowledge and is confident it will deliver. However we were more interested in future proofing our solar and battery, so we’re happy with everything he recommended and the price. Compared to other providers who seem to offer discounts, deals, etc. Ricky seems more interested that we got the right system for our needs. The actual fitting went smoothy. The roofers and electricians were great. Each had their jobs and went about them in an efficient, tidy and professional manner. At all times they were polite and after they had finished tidied up everything. Matthew who led the team, kept us informed of what they were doing at all times and explained how they were doing it. Cables were well hidden and they did everything to make it as unobtrusive as possible. Despite working on the hottest days of the year in 35 degree heat, we couldn’t fault any of their work. After sales service from Ricky has been equally as good with multiple telephone calls to answer questions and a visit several days after the fitting to explain the app and continue to help with the details of solar, and a promise to help us transfer our electric in the future when we are able to sell to the grid. Basically, can’t recommend this company enough - if you are thinking of solar, battery or ev chargers then definitely give them a go.
Recently had 16 solar panels, an inverter, battery and EV charger installed by RLW, and I’m really pleased with the whole experience. Ricky came out to do the initial quote and was incredibly helpful when it came to designing the right system for us. A few weeks later the scaffolding went up, and the next day the RLW team arrived and had everything installed in around 6–7 hours. The team were quick, efficient and professional throughout. They made sure I understood the equipment and how to use the Sigenergy app, cleaned up after themselves, and were helpful from start to finish. If you’re looking to get into solar, I’d definitely recommend giving RLW a call!
We had a 20 panel system fitted with a 24kw battery. The whole process was so easy from start to finish. We had a few other quotes but RLW came back with the lowest price and a better system ! They were also the only ones who actually visited the house to see us and talk through the options. Fitting was all done in 2 days with no mess left and everything has worked since ! Would highly recommend RLW
Great team and service. Excellent install and solar/battery system.
Really chuffed with the installation. Started on a Tuesday and by Friday afternoon I was generating solar ! That includes scaffolding up and down, electricians doing their work and the roofers fixing the panels. I have 12panels, a 16kw battery and an EV car charger. Excellent !!!!
Had a lot of work done recently by RLW Electrical and Solar, and I have nothing but praise for them. All the staff I met were friendly, helpful, and their work was top class. Not everything went to plan as with all things (mainly suppliers), but they got around any issues and produced a great outcome and end product. Highly recommend great bunch of guys.
I recently had solar panels and batteries installed by Ricky and his team. They were highly efficient and very professional. The job was completed very quickly. Ricky explained everything clearly and provided all the necessary documentation. I’m already seeing the benefits. I would highly recommend RLW for the installation of solar panels and batteries.
What can I say Ricky and the RLW team are amazing. Ricky is truly a professional. Every step of the process of discussing solar panels and battery backup, he explained in detail and gave reasoned advice, which I understood and went for. Ricky organised everything and kept me informed of how things were going. When the system was up and running Ricky explained how things worked and the app worked. Ricky explained about finding a good supplier for electricity input and output. Ricky even setup my system so that I could benefit from cheaper rates, when I switched. As I said before, Ricky is a truly professional young man who is 100% trustworthy and good for his word. I highly recommend Ricky and the RLW team to anyone who is thinking about solar panels or electrical work. My sigenergy system is amazing and just gutted I didn't do it earlier :)
Fantastic, friendly service. Prompt reply to my query and efficient home visit that solved the issue. Highly recommended.
What an amazing installation I’ve had done by RLW Electrical & Solar from Kidwelly! I used AI to find a local installer, and it turned out to be the best decision I’ve made. From start to finish, everything was handled professionally. The installation crew and scaffolders were polite, quick, and efficient they left the site spotless once the job was done. The whole process was smooth and stress-free, and I’m already seeing the benefits of my new solar panels. Highly recommended for anyone considering solar RLW Electrical & Solar really deliver top-quality service and workmanship.
Matthew came out he was very friendly and professional. Its the first time we did not get ripped off since we moved here .I would definitely recommend him
Just had 22 kw of solar plus battery storage to my Poultry shed fantastic job and very tidy . and a good bacon and egg bap got them through the day😜 Great bunch of lads
Just had solar installed. Ricky did a fantastic job even though my old fuse system caused me grief, Ricky just smiled and sorted it out in the blink of an eye. His after sales support is really comforting and he is able to monitor my system from wherever he happens to be if I have any questions. I'm really pleased with the system and im excited to see how my bills change over the ensuing months. Thank you Ricky and the team. Amazing 👏
Fantastic service from ricky, matt and all the team Panels and battery installed. Team worked quickly, efficiently, tidily and respectfully All rubbish taken away, house left clean Ricky always at end of phone, if not available straight away always rings back Have no hesitation in recommending this company very happy
Fantastic service from getting a quote through to the installation. They’re knowledgeable about all things solar and were able to answer any and all questions I had about the process. The quality of the completed installation was superb, and the savings from our 14 panels and battery have impressed us everyday since everything was installed. I could heartily recommend Ricky and the team if you’re looking to get solar panels and/or a battery installed on your property.
Would highly recommend Ricky and Matthew at RLW electrical and solar. We recently had solar panels and battery system installed and couldn’t be happier with the service from start to finish. Everything is working great and already see the benefits. Many thanks to the team
I recently had a solar and battery system installed by RLW Electrical and couldn’t be happier with the service. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. They explained everything clearly, kept me updated throughout the process, and completed the job to a high standard. The system is running perfectly, and I’m already seeing the benefits. I highly recommend RLW Electrical to anyone considering solar and battery solutions!
Would have no hesitation in highly recommending . Very efficient, tidy, reliable and professional. Always gets back to you promptly and provided an excellent service. Fitted some batteries last July and helped me set up the app to check on them. Had to call out Ricky recently and he fixed the problem straight away, which was do with the grid not his work.
Great company, the level of service was excellent, we were always kept in the loop about everything, the quality of work was first rate and the work was completed in the time frame we were given. Would definitely recommend!
We had RLW out recently to sort a few smaller electrical jobs recently. A light fitting, a underfloor heating unit and our central heating unit replaced. They replied quickly and we're able to squeeze me in for a look and to do the job very quickly also. As the light was in my babies room I really appreciated getting it sorted in the dark evenings. RLW were affordable and both the guys I dealt with were very friendly, I would 100% recommend and use again in the future! Thanks!
I recently purchased a 1912 house in Swansea and wanted to see if PV would be viable as there was minimal south roof area. RLW looked it over and put forward alternative proposals in terms of the kit as well as the layout of the panels. Drone footage allowed them to check the condition of the roof in advance. They were able to get 2 on the south, 9 on the west and 4 on a detached garage (for a summer boost) for ~7kW of generation and ~8kWh of battery. We went with a Fox hybrid inverter and modular battery system. The main board in the house was ancient and also being replaced. It was a true rats nest to unpick so they are as capable on the usual electrics as they are with the solar. They were able to get on-site with minimal delays. Ricky and his team are energetic and up for challenges. For example, they were working with a old slate roof and they treated it with great care and the newly installed panels have just withstood literally hurricane force winds and lashing rain. And when commissioning the hybrid inverter there was a fault in one of the supplied connectors there were able to identify and correct the issue. The initial survey indicated that there could be 3 panels on the South but on roof it turned out it would be risky in terms of wind stresses and they took the safe option. They did some additional research and were able to optimise the PV output so the 15 panels could deliver more than the original 16. Small things like arriving on time, cleaning up as they go, adapting to the quirks in old houses and recording their work and keeping us up to date is what you should expect as well.
5 Stars - outdoor socket & heat valve repair I had an excellent experience with RLW Electrical Limited. Matthew was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. He took the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring I understood the work being done. His attention to detail and friendly demeanor made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend RLW Electrical to anyone looking for top-notch electrical services. Matthew truly goes above and beyond!
Brilliant service. Came at short notice and gave real peace of mind from what I considered an emergency at the time. Really professional, polite and considerate. Really glad I found them. Would highly recommend.
5 star work outstanding
The team were very professional from the outset. I welcomed their suggestions on our house extension on what was achievable to install. Trustworthy team & professional craftsmanship.
I would thoroughly recommend RLW Electrical. Ricky gave me a competitive quote and overcame the difficulties encountered (due to the age of my roof & tiles) during the installation of 14 solar panels and the supporting batteries & equivalent with determination and tact. I now have a Fox system which is giving me 90+% self sufficiency daily
Quality service, installed and fitted lights, music system, cctv cameras and more into the new local gym. Highly recommend!
Reliable and trustworthy. I would highly recommend RLW Electrical after the level of service they provided recently in carrying out extensive electrical work on my property. The team was very approachable and were happy to advise on any queries that I had. Very grateful and can’t thank the team enough.
