Optimal Energy Solutions Ltd drew praise from several customers for solar panel cleaning and maintenance, with reviewers reporting punctual, polite staff who explained the work clearly. One reviewer said a new inverter was fitted at their grandmother's home along with a panel clean, and another reported an inverter replaced within a week. Several reviewers said a glycol service, system checks or a free health and safety assessment were carried out thoroughly, and one said the firm helped recover feed-in tariff payments. Against this, a number of reviewers reported cold calls to elderly people and said they struggled to cancel appointments or obtain a refund within the cooling-off period. One reviewer said an engineer had still not attended two months after a ten-year maintenance plan was signed, and that calls to the office were not returned.
Really happy with the service from start to finish! My grandmother recently had a new inverter installed for her solar panel system, along with a full panel clean, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The team were extremely friendly, professional and respectful throughout. They arrived on time, explained everything clearly and took great care while working around the property. It’s refreshing to deal with a company that is reliable, honest and genuinely cares about providing a good service. The solar panels were left looking spotless and the new inverter was installed efficiently with everything explained to my grandmother before they left. She felt completely comfortable and looked after throughout the whole process. Would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional solar company. Excellent service from a lovely team! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Avoid this company. They cold called my elderly parents and got them to sign up for a 5 year contract that they don't need. As POA I have requested a refund within the 14 day cooling off period.They agreed. I have not received a refund. The phone operator now tells me I have to speak to a director to have my refund approved. Neither myself or my brother who is a POA have heard from the one director who seems to be active. My emails are not returned. Still no refund.
Absolutely brilliant service from Optimal Energy Solutions. They recently carried out a glycol service on my thermal system and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. The engineer was professional, arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and completed the job efficiently. I really appreciated the honest advice and high standard of professionalism, they even came back months later to check on the system and the work they completed, highly recommend.
Very happy with the solar panel maintenance service. Everything was checked thoroughly, and I now have complete peace of mind knowing that if anything ever breaks, it’s covered—even though it’s an older system. Friendly, professional service and well worth it for the reassurance. Highly recommend!
Absolute Scam. Had a lady call me and told me she’s from Newham Hospital then had a lady named Clare call me back a few days later from the same number. This made me EXTREMELY suspicious and scared and then she started talking about solar panels and I don’t have or want solar panels.
I received a call inviting me to arrange an appointment for my installation to be checked, etc., etc.! I asked who had told them to Contact me. After some prevarication I was told that "it was a firm that had 'probably ceased trading a few years ago'"! Me - "That's strange, it was only installed about a year ago" 'Oh, we must have been given incorrect information. Goodbye.' I cannot say that I was impressed!!
SCAMMERS DON'T GO NEAR THEM! Have phoned our vulnerable elderly parents threatening them and leaving them scared. We hold power of attorney - they do not respond to our emails, they seem to approach old people, WOULD BE SUSPICIOUS HOW THEY FIND THEM to sell them things over a 10 year period - disgraceful - we will now escalate our complaint legally. One star as you have no choice - should be a minus. PLEASE DON'T USE THEM
I recently had my solar panels checked by Optimal Energy, and I couldn't be happier with the service. The technician was prompt, professional, and thorough. They explained everything clearly and answered all my questions. It's reassuring to know my system is running optimally and that there are still friendly and professional solar company’s around.
Really impressed with the difference after the clean on my panels.The team also went above and beyond by helping me sort out and recover back payments on my feed-in tariff, which I really appreciated. It’s rare to find a company that makes the whole process this easy. Would definitely recommend to others who have struggled receiving their feeding tariff.
I recently used this solar panel maintenance company, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the service I received. From start to finish, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient. They arrived on time, explained the entire process clearly, and carried out a thorough inspection and cleaning of my solar panels. I immediately noticed an improvement in performance afterward, which was a huge bonus. It’s clear they genuinely care about helping customers get the most out of their systems. What stood out most was their attention to detail and willingness to answer all my questions without rushing. They also offered helpful advice on how to maintain the panels between visits, which I really appreciated. Overall, I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality solar panel maintenance. Excellent service, great results, and a friendly team—you really can’t ask for more.
This company fitted me a new Invertor and done a clean on the pannels around a weed ago now , had problems with the pannels the technician managed to find the problem and get me the best advise , week later pannels are working brand new couldn’t be happier and recommend them more was a lovely and respectable company very helpful 🥰
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t recommend this solar company highly enough. They installed a new inverter at my grandad’s property within just two days of identifying the issue, which was incredibly efficient. As I hold Power of Attorney, they kindly phoned me beforehand to ensure I could attend the appointment. I really appreciated this thoughtful approach. Although the visit was initially a health and safety check, they took the time to clearly explain all the details of the installation process and what needed to be done. The gentleman who came out was absolutely lovely – so kind, patient, and professional. He didn’t just inspect the inverter; he carefully showed both my grandad and me the readings and explained how they had been decreasing over the last five quarters. Everything was explained in a way that was easy to understand, which gave us great confidence in the work being carried out. The installation was completed within a week, and we truly couldn’t be happier. My grandad is over the moon with the outcome. A fantastic service from start to finish – highly recommended!
Scam. Cold called an elderly family member offering a free check up for his solar panels. When I called them to cancel the appointment he had been bullied into they couldn't wait to get me off the phone. Avoid.
Amazing guys, my inverter broke down and I gave them a call within 2 days they have visited my property and identified the issue which meant I needed a new inverter, installer came out within a week to have it installed with an app on my phone so I can monitor it live, I could not be happier with their service
Great people, easy going firm with no nonsense
After being messed around by multiple companies who never bothered to return my calls, finding Optimal Energy Solutions was a breath of fresh air. They have maintained my system for two years now, and without fail they contact me every year to arrange servicing and cleaning. Their reliability really sets them apart. When my inverter stopped working, I contacted them and they had it replaced within a week. I’m genuinely thankful for the effort and care they’ve shown me from the very beginning. Excellent service all round.
Brother signed up with this firm (13/11/25) for a 10 year maintenance plan at a cost of £6000. They promised an engineer within three weeks to sort out the issues we were experiencing eg 2 of 16 panels not working and two optimisers faulty. within three weeks of signing maintenance contract they arrived to wash the panels (??) and now after 2 months we haven't seen an engineer. We've tried to contact the office - lady on phone continually told me she needed to speak to her diary manager - promised to call back within 10 mins. however, she didnt call back and now we cannot get anyone on the phone.
SCAM SCAM SCAM! I have now spoken to four people on the phone and one agent that called. The phone calls told complete packs of lies, ‘you’ve already paid for your health check etc’ the rep that called just wanted to sell me an expensive package. DONT TOUCH THEM WITH A BARGE POLE!
I recently had the opportunity to take advantage of a free health and safety assessment for my solar panels, courtesy of the Optimal Energy Soultions, and I couldn’t be more impressed! From the moment I booked the appointment with Eden who was informative and polite and a pleasure to talk too the entire process was seamless. The team was professional, friendly, and arrived right on time. They took the time to explain everything in detail, from the inspection process to the safety measures they were checking for, ensuring that I understood the importance of each step. The technician was thorough, conducting a full evaluation of the panels, wiring, and connections to ensure everything was in top condition. They identified a couple of minor issues that I wasn’t aware of but assured me they were easy to address and provided me with a clear action plan. What really stood out was the level of customer care. They didn’t rush through the assessment, and they took extra time to answer all of my questions. They even offered tips on how to maintain the system to extend its lifespan and keep it performing efficiently. I’m incredibly grateful for the peace of mind this assessment has given me all it cost me was a cup of tea!!! Highly recommend this service to anyone who wants to ensure the health and safety of their solar system — and all for FREE! A top-notch company that does exactly what they say they are going to do no catches very impressed
Can’t lie I owe them an apology ,my granddad was very rude on the phone but the technician fella showed up nice and helped us out ,thank you
I have been a customer for less than a year and they have been very trustworthy also helped direct me through the process of buying as well as getting the right product that is needed for my solar panels. I would recommend to anyone that are in need of a better solution and sufficiency with their solar system.
This company helped me fit a large storage unit on my commercial property which has been in my family for decades. Initially I was looking in a different area of renewable energy that I found to be suitable, but after a frank conversation with Angela from the office at OES she told me I should be looking at a large battery storage unit. Following a survey that was done free of charge - it seemed to be the new preferred option, and the installation went smooth. Would certainly recommend to other business owners if you're looking for a straightforward experience.
These guys did an amazing job fitting my solar panels, they were really helpful with explaining the best way to generate a return and the guys that fitted were very professional. Thank you very much. Tony G
Rang me up even though my landline number is unlisted to try and persuade me to have solar panel maintenance. I Tried to explain this to the advisor and also that my panels are working perfectly , but she rudely hung up on me!
This company called my mum to carry out maintenance on her solar panels. They asked if she had a power of attorney and knowing she did they still went ahead and booked to go and see her. Getting through to them was a nightmare, they rent an office in Brentwood with no signage. They are nothing to do with the company that installed my mum’s solar panels and I made them cancel the appointment and remove her from their call list. Scam!
"Optimal Energy Solutions" cold called my land line and said it had come up on their system that my solar system was overdue its service. Really! It's been installed 12+ years and never needed a service yet. This is yet another solar scam from a company that's sprung up out of nowhere. Nominally from Brentwood I looked up their address and it's Just a couple of rented offices above a retail unit. No signs in the window, no reviews, no history, no track record but hey their website promises great things! Buyer beware. Solar systems do not need "servicing", or indeed (when pressed they'll admit it's actually) "inspecting". If your system is generating, and the green light is on on your inverter, congratulations you're a solar system inspector and you've just serviced it. Other than visually checking your panels are clean.
