M and S Renewables Ltd is a solar and battery installer that many customers describe as friendly and professional from first enquiry through to installation and aftercare. Several reviewers say they felt no pressure during surveys or quotes, and some mention their homes were left clean and tidy. One reviewer describes a booked appointment where no one turned up and the company later said it had been double-booked. Another reviewer, writing 18 months after installation, says follow-up visits and paperwork were repeatedly delayed and describes the customer service as appalling. A separate reviewer says contact ended after they asked for a risk assessment and method statement for work above a glass conservatory roof, with no reply to several emails.
Great service from start to finish, friendly team when visiting the showroom, taking time to answer all questions with great depth of knowledge, not feeling rushed when deciding or pressured at all. Great team of fitters, respectful to my property and professional fitting of solar and battery system to my home. Also great after sales happy to answer any questions or concerns, great friendly team all round and would recommend.
We’re not getting solar panels - thanks to M & S! Stuart visited, assessed our house & layout& his honest & friendly advice was: any outlay wouldn’t benefit us. No hard sell. Friends of ours have had panels & battery installed by M & S & are annoyingly very chuffed & a bit smug about the installation. M & S recommended!
We're happy to recommend M and S Renewables. Stuart and the team were considerate of our needs, careful with our home and carried out the work quickly and professionally. We're delighted with our solar, battery and gateway system and look forward to many years of trouble-free operation and low electricity bills.
My solar PV and battery system was installed over the course of yesterday and today; it would have been completed in the one day yesterday if there wasn't a small mix up on the inverter size, but you only really get to know the quality of a company when things don't go as planned. In this case I was told of the issue as soon as they knew about it and if exactly how they would rectify - by coming back the following day (today) and replacing the inverter with the correct size. And that is exactly what has happened - which to my mind, tells you what you need to know. I'm already recommending them to family, they're a good bunch and well worth your consideration if you're looking to get a quote.
A brilliant experience from start to finish, these guys are happy, helpfull and accommodating all the way no pressure sales like other companies and are more then happy to let you control what your actually getting vs what you pay for, i will highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a solar solution
Stuart came to review solar panel upgrades and battery instalments. He was not pushy at all. He offered the best solution to upgrade my existing system in the most cost effective way. His team were efficient and cleaned all the mess. They came across a few issues with the existing system, and rather than just add the cost on to the quote they sat down and came up with solutions without an increase cost. I will recommend them to anyone that wants solar or battery upgrades.
Very helpful and professional.
Absolutely fabulous service from start to finish. You pay for what you get and that’s a professional and high standard of work and quality products. We had previous quotes, some were much more expensive and some cash in hand which was considerably cheaper however came with no certificates or complete packages. Stuart came round to discuss all our options initially and was very informative and friendly. Then on the day we were so surprised at how fast the installation was and how even the quality of the scaffolding was amazing! 20 solar panels in just over half a day! The installers were professional and friendly. Really have no complaints and the best investment we made. They even help with post set ups with switching tariffs with energy suppliers and sorting out those extra bits so you’re not left hanging in the dark not knowing how to swap to the correct export tariffs. Honestly amazing local company and highly recommend! If you mention North Pole for your quote - you could see images and videos of the work and on Instagram.
M and S were recommended by a friend. From our first visit to their showrooms, through survey, quotation, installation, grid connection and paperwork their service has been first class. Importantly the price was very competitive. All of the team are employed by M and S and are professionals. We have no hesitation in recommending M and S.
Our experience of M and S Renewables so far - one day after installation - has been excellent. Our first point of contact was with James, who gave us information (about the importance of battery capacity, for example) that other companies didn't offer. He supplied us with three quotes and advised us about the benefits of each one, without pressure, and was happy to amend quotes swiftly on request. Everyone we dealt with at the company (whose premises we visited) was helpful and knowledgeable. The installers, Tyler, Alfie and Ryan, took great care with their work, paying detailed attention to how things looked, and finding good solutions to one or two tricky problems with cable routing. The day after installation James called to make sure we were happy and to offer help in the future if we need it. So far, everything is working well and we're delighted.
From the first enquiry to final installation the service from all personnel has been professional, efficient and friendly, nothing has been too much bother, from early reassurances, to detailed technical information, help and guidance. From my experiences I would thoroughly recommend this company.
From start to finish M&S renewables have been professional and reliable. The quote was given and the price didn’t change, when the go ahead was given an initial timescale was given in which they could start, they were able to move that forward and fit us in quicker. The equipment is great quality and looks smart, we haven’t got several units along our house, the Sigen unit it sleek and stylish. After installation there were a few issues that occurred but they were dealt with effectively, efficiently and with in an extremely timely manner. The team can’t be faulted for their customer care and service they provide. Highly recommend
From start to finish M&S renewables were great. The initial site visit did estimate 13 panels however, on 2nd visit and measurements only 9 could be installed due to awkward roof size and pitches. Install team could not have worked harder considering the heatwave conditions we were experiencing at the time. Scaffolding came down a couple of days later. Unfortunately post install we noticed a couple of broken tiles but when reported the team were straight back to sort. Really happy with the system and the accompanying app that was fully explained and can be a little addictive to look at to see how much is being produced. Highly recommend M&S renewables.
Updated review. We had our system installed August 2025. I had an additional battery this year that sadly began to play up. I contacted M&S and after various attempts to reset the battery Mike arranged for a new system to be fitted. We love our new Sigenergy unit. Can't thank Mike enough he is indeed a man of his word! Thank you.
I contacted Mand S Renewables earlier in the year for a quote for a Sigenergy Battery, Inverter and 10 Solar Panels and because my first phone contact was not very helpful and required a 50% deposit I decided to pay the company a visit. When I arrived I was quite impressed with the company and the owner offered to carry out the installation with no deposit and so a visit was arranged that took place and everything was agreed apart from a few minor details. As I was a little concerned about how the fitters would work above the glass roof of my conservatory I requested sight of the Risk Assessment and Method Statement and this is where contact ended and despite several emails no reply has been received. I would have thought that any reputable company would have had a clear safety policy for this type of work and would have been happy to share it with the customer.
A brilliant company at all levels - customer service is first class, Jenny, Aaron, Brett and the amazing team that fitted our panels, the electrical team and the scaffolding team were so professional, considerate and took time to explain everything - superb service. The system is great working brilliantly, I must say the app sigenergy is fantastic ( a bit addictive!) I would definitely Highly recommend M&S Renewables
The install went well and the team were very friendly and helpful. We would recommend them to anyone thinking of having solar installed.
A relatively small job moving solar meter from one meter box to another. Done professionally, quickly and at reasonable cost. Recommended supplier
Recently had M&S Renewables install a 28-panel solar system with an 18kW Sigenergy battery, and I couldn't be happier. The whole process was simple and the engagement throughout was positive from start to finish. They handled the entire DNO application for us, taking all the hassle out of the regulatory side, then got on with the installation swiftly with no unnecessary delays. Professional team who clearly knew their stuff, and the Sigenergy system has been a great choice. Would highly recommend M&S Renewables to anyone considering solar and battery storage. A smooth, well-managed job from a company that does exactly what it says it will.
Excellent service from the first phone call and initial visit to installation and follow up. The surveyor was professional, friendly and informative, clearly explaining all details and answering all questions. At installation, which was quick and efficient, with a hard working and friendly team, the electricians made every effort to find a solution to install all cabling internally and there was minimal disruption. We are very pleased with the appearance and compact nature of the battery and equipment in the garage and all appears to be working well. We would have no hesitation in recommending the company to others - in fact we have already done so. Thanks to everyone at M + S.
Really impressed with the whole installation from start to finish. Everyone involved was super polite and worked incredibly hard throughout - especially impressive given how swelteringly hot it was on the first installation day, so hats off to them for that! The work was clean and tidy throughout, with the electricians taking care to route the cables exactly where I wanted them even where the routing was a bit awkward, they made it work without any fuss. The panel installation team clearly knew what they were doing and positioned everything to get the most out of the available roof space, maximising the solar potential rather than just taking the easy option. At the end I got a clear explanation of how the app works and how to get the best out of the car charger which made the whole system feel much less daunting. Would highly recommend M+S Renewables as we had such a positive experience.
2025 was a big year in terms of life changes . After 35 yrs a house move meant we found ourselves updating a 1980s property. Due mainly to an outdated heating system & a volatile energy market we looked at modern day systems. Having made a plan it was time to get the experts involved . We heard great things about M and S RENEWABLES through family members whom had work completed by them . So after initial contact with Stuart by phone within a day we had a plan for a solar + battery install . I was later asked if I would like to view some options at there showroom in Swadlincote. I took them up on the offer as I could meet & discuss my options. Mike & team made me very welcome & guided me through possibilities for my set up . I later came away with a plan & start date for work discussed . April came & work began first scaffolding was assembled and solar panels installed. Then shortly after battery storage was connected and we were harnessing our energy from the sun . Both the scaffolding team and electrician were considerate to our requirements & we’re happy to discuss any amendments & further actions . Faultless install & suddenly no import from energy provider . 😁 May came around and it was time to complete our ASHP install. After an initial heat loss survey was completed the team made a plan . A further visit to the house was made to confirm any mis understandings . Work began & 3/4 days was expected to complete full install . It quickly became apparent these guys really know there stuff . All were considerate & knowledgeable in their own skill set . The after install support has been great so good in fact we’ve asked them to do further work to remove our reliance on gas . These are the guys if your thinking of changing to Solar / battery storage or ASHP install . One very satisfied customer. Thank you 5️⃣🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Having recently had installed 15 solar panels and battery by M and S Renewables my review reflects the excellent experience from start to finish. Firstly a no pressure survey giving good advice to meet my individual requirement’s. On acceptance scaffold up in 2 weeks. Install job commenced week after. Job completed in 1 day. Neat and tidy job Scaffolding gone 3 days later. Now awaiting selling back to grid. Don’t look elsewhere Good communication throughout Many thanks John Ashby
Had ten panels and a battery installed recently. Efficient and professional service. Looks great.
After convincing my wife that solar panels and battery is what we need, the search started... What a minefield the industry is.. after several home visits and phone calls we found M & S Renewables.. After a 30 minute phone call to Stuart on a bank holiday Monday we found ourselves jumping in the car to their showroom... This helped us see the actual products and what was available to us... We soon decided after meeting Stuart and the owner Mike, to have a survey and quote .. this was quick and easy, all questions were answered and there was NO pressure to sign on the dotted line for a deal that day like what had happened with other home surveys.. After a few days we asked some more questions and decided to go with a solar and battery system .. Installation day was arranged at our convenience, scaffolding put up a few days before. System was fitted quickly and efficiently by the M&S Renewables team.. who were polite and friendly. Now sat looking at the app enjoying free energy from solar Can Highly recommend M&S Renewables. For service, price, quality.
I was introduced to M and S Renewables a few years ago, my Son was looking to get some solar panels fitted and one of my neighbours recommended them as a company he had met and spoken to at a trade show, he is a pretty clued up builder and so I passed on their details to my son. The results for my son were positive from the very off, competitive quote, no nonsense, job installed snag free, great support totally happy and his system outperforms his expectations. So when I decided to go Solar it was a no brainier, Stuart came out to see me, no sales pitch, common sense discussion on what would and wouldn’t work, a fair price that was pretty much what I expected, gave me some discount when I went for optimisers which he recommended and I’m really glad I did along with a 9kwh Battery that I can upgrade by adding to when and if I need to and a Sig-en 10 panel system. They Installed a week later, fantastic bunch of guys no messing about, no mess, top end kit, quality workmanship and a system that, since it was fitted 2 weeks ago, has performed better than expected, I have not imported any electricity from the grid, and on sunny days have been exporting twice as much as I’m using. Now looking at Heat Pumps with the same company cannot recommend them enough. Rob cam out did a 3 D scan of my house and spent around 2 hours explaining the system that he thought may work in my property, again, no hard sell, common sense, I honestly feel that if the system isn’t right for me these guys wouldn’t sell it to me they are a breath of fresh air to deal with and I recommend them unreservedly.

Fantastic experience with M+S Renewables. From the initial conversations and planning of our system through to installation and post-installation support, every step has been handled flawlessly by the team. Stuart understood our requirements and designed a system which is working perfectly. We are now set up for huge savings on energy bills moving forward. The installers were a great bunch of lads, very tidy and happy to answer all the questions I could throw their way. Everything was explained perfectly, and after-care support has also been spot on. We are really happy with the install, it's immaculate. You can see how they take pride in ensuring the system also looks aesthetically pleasing. We can't recommend these guys highly enough!
We had solar installed in 2023 and have recently upgraded to Sigen. Special thanks to Stuart who has gone above and beyond. Overall we would highly recommend M and S Renewables.
Sadly, it’s become increasingly rare to receive a level of service that makes you feel you that you’ve received value for money. However, M & S Renewables, made the experience very simple by listening to our requirements, offering suitable options to meet our needs and talking us through the advantages, costs and benefits. The installation team were both polite and efficient, explaining the hardware and how it works and the HO team were constantly available throughout the whole process. I would recommend them in your solar energy plans, they really do deliver…..
M&s renewables came and quoted on solar and battery storage price was fine and friendly salesman, the job was an inset system which was explained and fitted shortly after, the hole team from electrical to solar panel fitting has been awesome and working perfectly thanks for a great job well done.
Unreliable and unprofessional service. I booked an appointment a week in advance and later called to confirm, as I realised it fell on the Friday of the Easter weekend. The owner assured me they would attend, even if he had to come personally. On the day, no one showed up and there was no communication. After waiting 30 minutes, I called the office. Eventually, the salesperson contacted me, claiming he had double-booked and had tried to call that morning but must have used the wrong number — which I find difficult to believe. He then asked to reschedule. My time is valuable, and I cannot afford to deal with missed appointments or chase unreliable companies. This was for a significant project involving a full Sigenergy setup (DC EV charger, 12kW inverter, gateway, batteries, and solar arrays) and heat pump, so the lack of professionalism is especially disappointing. Based on this experience, I would not recommend engaging with this company.
I have had my system nearly 3 years now and couldn’t be happier with the return. Both me and my wife have electric cars and use our cheap tariff to charge the batteries overnight during the winter period and then the sun during the summer months to benefit from the system all year round, not just in the summer.
From start to finish I was very impressed with the service and there was never any pressure to buy, only good advice. The installation was quick and efficient and no damage was caused to my property. I would fully recommend M+S renewables to all my friends and family interested in solar & home batteries.
From start to finish a fantastic company. No pressure selling . Nice clean work. Nothing is to much trouble to help you with and get you started . I would highly recommend them. This is a company you can put your tust in. Many thanks for your work .Matt
From the moment I met these guys at an NEC trade show, the service has been outstanding - Stuart explained what type of system would suit my needs, never felt under any pressure to commit to something I didn't need. I went for 6.75kw system with a Sigenergy Battery and Gateway - I feel I have good value for money. The System was fitted over a couple of days, the installation team were very professional and hard working, as the last panels were put up around 8pm .The system has been up and running for a few days, and I am really pleased with what it is delivering - The DNO approval was very quick. Stuart is coming back once we have some real time data, to help advise me which tariff's I should look at. Overall I could not recommend these guys enough, I was pleased to be able to support a local family run business. Thanks Guys!!!
Had 16 panels and 10kWh of batteries installed a year ago with MandS. The install was very professionally done and the panels look very neat compared to some others around. The internal install is all very tidy as well showing the attention to detail that this team has. The savings have been excellent so would recommend.
I recently had a visit from Stuart from M +S renewals to assess why my solar panel water heating system was not charcharge working. He established that it was disconnected & it would ,be expensive to replace. There no charge for the service&l would highly recommend this company & Stuart to anyone who needs any Solar or heating products.
Previously I posted a good review. This was true at the time as installation was relatively painless. However, every single step of the way has been tediously slow. Let down numerous times for visits on paperwork,secondary installation and safety. Low battery,no signal and sudden holidays were always the excuses given.Appalling customer service which we are still experiencing 18 months on.
From initial enquiry to installation in less than 2 weeks ago. Brilliant price and offering from a local business. This includes a 25 year warranty and full system monitoring by the team at M+S! The team were very friendly & knowledgeable, a credit to the company.
Great company. Super knowledgeable fitters. Recommend you use them country wide
Choosing M + S Renewables for my solar panel installation was undoubtedly one of the best decisions I've made for my home. From start to finish, their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to the customer were evident every step of the way. During the initial consultation, the team took the time to understand my energy needs and assess the optimal placement for solar panels on my property. Their attention to detail and willingness to customize the solution to fit my specific requirements instilled confidence in their capabilities. The installation process itself was seamless and efficient. The technicians were skilled and meticulous, ensuring that the panels were installed with precision and care. Their expertise was evident as they navigated any challenges that arose, demonstrating a dedication to delivering the highest quality workmanship. Throughout the entire process, the team at M + S Renewables maintained open communication and transparency. Any questions or concerns I had were addressed promptly, and they went above and beyond to ensure that I was satisfied with the final result. I can't recommend M + S Renewables highly enough for anyone considering solar panel installation. Their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to excellence make them a standout choice in the industry.
From initial enquiry to final commissioning of our new solar system it’s been a smooth process. We’re now looking forward to saving a fortune on our electricity bill. The lads who put the panels on were very pleasant and Rikk the electrician explained everything thoroughly. Highly recommend this company to anyone after looking for a great local solar company.
