RT Solar Limited fitted solar panels, batteries and related kit such as EV chargers and an iboost for several customers. One reviewer was unhappy with an air source heat pump installation and said RT Solar lacked the skills for that job. Tom and Omar were described as clean, tidy and knowledgeable. Other individual customers reported clear technical explanations, helpful advice and well-organised work, with one saying the system was carefully set up and another describing a neat panel layout. Individual reviewers also reported good post-installation support and a system that outperformed its predicted generation. The criticism concerns heat pumps only; one reviewer could not comment on solar panels.
We recently had our solar panels, Battery and EPS system fitted by RT solar. Gabriel gave me a lot of time to explain the technicallity of the system really clearly and walked me through the full set up of how it would work and look, more so than other companies who came to quote. They were clear and kept us informed during the DNO application process and the limitations mandated by the local electricity network. When the time came to schedule they were flexible and communicative, although they needed to push it back by a few days due to urgent call outs to other customers. They were very understanding when it seemed the scaffolding would stay up for the weekend and a personal event we had so organised for the clscaffold to be taken down on a Saturday morning. The post support has been good where a cable for the data connectivity came loose Lee came same day to sort it and talked through advice on how best to set up the app and most efficiently manage the battery overnight top up and other useful information. 1 month in and we are very happy, we'd highly recommend RT Solar to anyone looking to fit solar panels and battery and will be looking into heat pumps and more with them in the future!
I think the first thing we appreciated is how thorough RT solar where compared to some competitors. As part of our process in to looking to get Solar we also contacted a couple of well-known energy companies to get quotes from them for Solar, battery and an EV Charger, the most striking thing was the lack of site visit (one even had a google maps image of someone else’s roof if their quote!). As we had an aging consumer box (wire fuses) we were aware that a significant change to our power system needed to be done safely, however both the big energy companies solution was to just bypass our consumer box by adding a second consumer box for the Solar and EV!! When we contacted RT Solar the first thing they wanted to do is organise an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) to ensure that introducing a PV system that could generate up to 6kwh and a EV Charger that will pull 7kwh it wouldn’t cause a risk to our electrical system and home. This instantly gave us the reassurance that the job was going to be done properly and that any solution would be bespoke to our needs and property rather than an ‘off the shelf’ solution the big energy companies wanted to push on us. Overall we found the design process easy and felt like they listened to what we wanted and built something that was truly a collaboration and met all needs and wants. The installation was done over three days and considering the amount of work that was needed to be done the impact wasn’t as bad as I was worried it may have been. All the of their staff where professional and friendly, one of the things I liked is they would come and check with you about smaller details rather then just assuming and just placing things where they thought best. Overall we are really happy with our installation (11 PV panels, Fox ess Evo10 and Fox ess EV charger) more so as for the past 11 days we haven’t needed to use anything from the grid!! And with the Battery during the long dark winder days we can change it overnight on the cheep rate and then use it during the day.
Tom and Omar have done a wonderful job, clean tidy knowledgeable young men. I’d recommend them. I’m a happy customer and would use them again. Thank you Monique Higgins
Had some work done by omar and tom what lovely guys done fantastic job and they where both very nice lads cleaned up and done a perfect job thank you so much highly recommend 😀
What to say? I am now the proud owner of a very competitively priced Solar PV and Battery System expertly installed by RTSolar which is comprised of twelve Hengdian DM450M10RT-B54HBT/HST 450W solar panels, ten mounted on the roof of our house and another two on our garage roof, all connected to a 5kWh FoxESS H1-5.0-E-G2-WL inverter and FoxESS EP12 11.5kWh battery both fitted to one of the internal walls in our garage. That crucial question - buyer's regret? Not a bit of it - I couldn't be more happy, both with the system and the level of support and guidance I have received from RTSolar and the team. So how did all this come about? Last year, EoN, our energy supplier, was offering existing and new customers cheap deals for solar PV installs. So I asked what they might quote for a Solar PV installation on our house. Our roof faces WSW on one side and ENE on the other. So my initial request was for EoN to provide a quote for the ENE side. EoN specified an array of 10 x 350 Solar panels mounted on the ENE facing side of our roof with options for Solar only or Solar and Battery system. Both cases seemed to offer a better return, in terms of a reduction in the cost of our electricity bills, than what my bank was providing in net interest on a savings account. However, when examining the quoted system specification provided by EoN it became clear, on reflection, that the ENE side can suffer from some significant shading issues due to the juxtaposition of the house next door. Also, I checked with a neighbour who had had his Solar PV installed on the WSW side (by British Gas last year, 2025). He seemed very happy with his so, given that and my wife's insistence that the WSW facing side gets the most all year round Sunlight I had a rethink and decided it would be more prudent to ask EoN if they could quote for the WSW side and, ... they refused, on account of what they claimed to be the impossibility of erecting the scaffolding that side. Which is fair because half of that side is taken up by a conservatory and the remainder with a substantial awning, not easy. Go figure... OK, I'm not the luckiest person on this planet - the lottery has never worked for me - so imagine my surprise at finding a local installer ready and able to tackle this seemingly impossible mission. Enter Tom Cruise and his team, er, ... Peter Baker and the RTSolar team. Following our initial contact Peter and his colleague carried out an exploratory survey to assess feasibility which included using a drone to obtain an overhead view and that was followed by by RTSolar's chosen scaffolding supplier doing their own survey to confirm that it was indeed feasible to erect the needed scaffolding given the circumstances. MCS certification and guidance requirements demand that all installers comply with their guidance and an MCS certification is only issued to those companies who can demonstrate strict compliance with the guidance. So, as you might imagine, RTSolar are very keen to ensure that they don't step out of line with the MCS guidelines. The result being that they are continually checking that they get it right and not just do the install and head for the hills. Thus, it became clear, following the erection of the scaffolding and RTSolar's roofer carrying out some very precise measurements of the dimensions of our roof that, due to this demand for compliance it would not be possible to fit all 12 of the originally specified panels in the space available while still complying with the guidelines. It was Corporal Jones time (Dad's Army). Don't PANIC! Only 10 of the panels could be fitted in compliance with MCS guidelines but RTSolar's roofer was able to check the dimensions of our garage roof and offer the option of fitting the remaining 2 panels to the garage roof thus ensuring compliance with the originally specified 5.4kWh system design. An additional bonus was that Peter, after performing a further check on the system design, was able to offer a reasonably priced and much higher capacity alternative to the battery originally specified.
I purchased my solar panels in 2022. Quality and hassle free installation. Everybody from start to finish were friendly, knowledgeable and explained how everything worked. My system generates more than what was predicted. My system generates so much that it offsets all of my gas and electricity bill for the whole year and I have export credit left over! Best Investment Ever!
I had an air source heat pump installed by RT Solar. It was an ordeal and I do not recommend them. They are clearly primarily an installer of solar panels, on which I cannot comment. Air source heat pumps, however, are complex systems, for which RT Solar (and probably many other suppliers out there) do not have the skills and capabilities, so please do yourself a favour and find a heating engineer, not ordinary plumbers. Please do not engage RT Solar to install an air source heat pump.
Worked with RT Solar for a while now and they’re a great company to with work. The office staff and the guys on the ground are a fantastic bunch of people. Very professional, hard working and very reliable. I would highly recommend RT Solar to anybody needing their services. 5⭐️
Recently had Solar panels and battery installed by RT. From the initial contact and survey of our property right through to the installation and commissioning I cannot imagine a more professional company. Everything happened as planned. Sandy coordinated the work and phoned with regular updates, Rob did a great job of installing the panels and Dan made everything work with the installation of the batteries and inverter. Highly recommended.
I would like to thank RT Solar for doing an amazing job installing my solar panels and battery system. After struggling for more than a year with another company to have my system installed, I could not be happier with the whole RT Solar team. Ivan – for meeting me in person, fully understand my requirements and getting back to me within less than 24 hours with a design and quote. He was also very patient in answering all my questions and explaining it to me. At no point did I felt rushed or pressured into make decisions. Sandy – for excellent customer service. The detail planning and organisation meant the I was always fully informed on what is happening when. She also confirmed all decisions that was made on the phone with an e-mail, which was excellent. Her friendliness and willingness to help, made it real pressure to deal with RT Solar. Dan/Rob – When I was told that the A-Team was doing the installation, it was not a joke. I would even call them the A++ team. 😊 They just did the job with the highest of standards and also left no mess behind. They were professional, friendly and tolerate all my questions as well. Their quality of work is really exceptional. I wish I came across RT Solar a year ago as that would have saved me a lot of very frustrating phone call and I would have my solar panels and batteries up and running for a year already. Thank you very much for giving me an outstanding customer service.
Fabulous experience with RT Solar, Ivan explained the system, quoted a good price with no fuss, and was always available to answer our questions. Project Manager Sandy was in regular contact and organised the fitting which went exactly as planned. Everyone involved was efficient, courteous and helpful. Couldn't have asked for more. Highly recommended
Everyone at RT Solar has been very helpful. We were not happy with our previous plumbing service and we contacted RT Solar for pipe chasing in the wall and installing a radiator and towel rail. They were very prompt and professional as well as helpful with great advice. Shane and James were very good and didn't leave until all was perfect.
We are very pleased with the way RT Solar dealt with our installation of additional panels and replacement batteries for our solar PV system. They were very careful with the entire process from initial consultation through to the commissioning of the system and all within a commendably short period of time. They even coped with my lack of any technical knowledge with patience and understanding, for which I am very grateful!
Fantastic quality solar & battery install. RT solar installed a large 10kw solar pv with battery, EV charger & iboost for hot water. I have had my system for a few months and am very pleased with the install. The biggest positive is the quality of the install, RT did a fantastic job and exceeded my expectations. The 27 panels on my roof have a very neat and uniform presentation. Fernando was very knowledgeable and ensured I was able to maximise the solar capacity as I wanted the biggest system that would fit on my roof to reduce my carbon footprint & utility bills as I wfh and use a fair bit of power. The installation process was smooth, I initially had panels installed and then battery a short time later. Both install teams were very understanding of my requirements, had very good attention to detail and carried out the work to a high standard. The price was competitive (noticeably less than some national companies), there was a short wait for install as I wanted Solaredge brand inverter which had stock delays but Fernando managed the delays well and worked hard to get my equipment in a reasonable time. My experience has been fantastic and I would be happy to recommend RT Solar to anyone.
A fantastic and knowledgeable team. The installation was quick and we are already reaping the benefits with savings. Thanks.
Really happy with the solar panels and battery system that RT Solar have installed. The system works really well and it feels great to be saving money and doing our bit to help reduce our carbon footprint. Fernando, Sandy and team are great people to do business with and I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.
RT Solar are the best at what they do and the best prices I can find. After listening to bog standard installs and sky high quotes from the national companies, I found RT Solar. They listened to my unique needs, as someone with two EVs and a smart home with lots of kit, they gave me a solution that I liked. When they gave me the best price I’d seen, I liked it even more. My original install was for a 20 panel system with a 5.2kw battery. This cut my energy bills by 75%. I recently had a larger battery installed with an iboost to power my hot water with excess energy, and since the install, I’ve barely taken any grid electricity at all, I’d guess a 95% reduction on my bill. I’m very pleased with the work carried out, exceptionally neat and the best looking panel install I’ve ever seen. My wife was concerned they would be ugly, but frankly they look so neat that even she’s happy with them. I’ve had many neighbours ask about them too, impressed that they look so good! So should you use RT Solar? Yes. They offer great solutions at fantastic prices. I’ve now got a veritable power station, so will sadly probably have no further need for their services, but if I do, then I’ll go directly back to them.
Top quality service It was a great experience in having my solar PV and batteries system installed by RT Solar. From the first stage of quotation, Fernando has been very clear and informative and he replies to my queries responsively. He also does not give me any pressure and gives me time to compare and decide. He also offers wide range of options and alternatives regarding the type and brand of equipments to choose, which makes it very flexible for me to adjust the specs of my system accordingly (something that I found many installers can't do as they tend to limit the options to whatever brand they have). And he also offers suggestions which helps me to decide on the final system. And the quote I got from them is quite competitive compared to others. In fact the options that he offered gives me quite a saving compared to other quotes I got. And he doesn't hesitate to upgrade the system using better equipments according to the supply availability without any additional cost. Once I signed the contract, Sandy and Elaine always kept me informed and updated at every step of the process. Installation date was scheduled very quickly which in my case was 2 weeks from the signing of contract. This is very impressive in this current situation of various supplies issues. For comparison, it took some companies more than a week (some even a month) to just replying to my email. Installation day went smoothly, in spite of some hickups with the supply which was sorted out very quickly. The roofer and electrician's work is top notch. I can't find any fault in the quality of the work. And the system has been running smoothly from day one. And the most important is that they give me confidence that they will give their best support to sort out any problems that might arise in the future.
All good with these chaps. I was pretty much set on my choice of Solar panel company and then I got a call from Fernando, he was in the area and came and had a look. Straight from the off, his honesty and integrity shone through. The truth is something that you seldom seem to get from some solar panel companies. As an example I had someone visit (from another company) who said I could get 18 panels on my relatively small roof and Fernando basically told me they were talking rubbish as the space on my roof simply wasn’t there. I immediately had trust in him and the way the solar panel industry feels, I think that is very important. I had constant contact with the company, even before I ordered and felt I could ask any questions and the replies would be truthful and honest. Installation day arrived, and despite a few issues, which were quickly remedied, I had a 10 panel system that, from the ground, looks great. The installation of all the electrical gubbins was all placed perfectly and looks really smart, from the exterior you can hardly tell that there are new cables and everything was very neatly placed and installed. Overall, I thought RT Solar and everyone who represented the company were exceptional and I couldn’t be happier. If you’re looking into these things then spend some time and make sure you’re happy and don’t feel as if you’ve been forced into your decision and with my experience of RT Solar you should feel happy and not overly pressurised to make, what is, a very expensive decision. Thank you RT Solar. 👍👍
