Rutland Renewables Ltd is described by reviewers as a friendly and professional firm that installs solar panels, battery systems and EV chargers; many say the work was carried out neatly and tidily, and several mention that the team explained how to use the system and the app. Reviewers often report prompt or clear communication, and some describe helpful aftercare. One reviewer says they have been waiting 18 months for the company to return and commission a system fitted for their builder, and that they would steer well away.
The whole team - office and installation, were excellent and provided a really personal and local service. All at a really competitive price. In particular the installation team were extremely respectful of my house and garden. There was no swearing and they were clean and tidy workers, as well as being friendly and approachable. This includes the scaffolders who met the same high standard. The FoxESS system (and Zappi Glo EV Charger) they installed performs better than I had imagined (it's been in place a year now). A couple of follow-up queries I had were effectively dealt with by the office team. I am extremely happy with Rutland Renewables and have no hesitation recommending them.
Excellent service from start to finish Efficient Competitive pricing
Very knowledgeable and friendly people. Installation was seamless and efficiently carried out. Would recommend.
Rutland Renewables installed two solar systems for one of our community buildings and adjacent workshop. From start to finish the team were professional and responsive to the various queries raised by the council. The installation was carried out in an organised and efficient manner, with minimum disruption to hirers of the building (and staff). The engineers were neat and tidy in their work environment, polite and professional. The final project handover documentation was organised and set out in clear terms with an easily digestible/understandable format. Jason took time to explain how the system operated and set up apps for ease of analysing data. The parish council has had several large projects to deliver and Rutland Renewables has been the stand out organisation by delivering a project on time, on budget and with excellent communication and customer service throughout. We would not hesitate to recommend the expertise of Will, Jason, Cathy and the Rutland Renewables team for your project and Brampton Parish Council would look to them again for future projects.
The team at Rutland Renewables installed a large number of panels and battery system at the former school in Easton on the Hill. The service and support has been first class and from this experience, highly recommend them to others
Five star service. Excellent advice. Good price. Dedicated installation team with many years experience.
🙏 Thank you soo much Rutland Renewables 🙏 We made a choice to have a solar and battery system installed on our house as we wanted to try and take control of our Electrical usage and lower our bills and this we definitely have 😳 Choosing the right company to do this was essential as like many people we wanted the job doing right and neat. From the first approach with Rutland we had dealings with Tom who actually listened to what we wanted, took care to explain things and gave us reassurance that it would be done right. 👌 Tom gave us a couple of quotes with different levels of affordability which was great as this made us feel that a system wasn’t being force fed to us and gave us a few options. Within a week Tim then nipped in to see us, looked at our electrics, where I wanted the battery and inverter and how I’d like the cables to run as we didn’t want a messy job as such and wanted it as discreet as possible as you can imagine. On install day, Will and his team arrived and again we all looked around our property, discussed cable runs and what was and wasn’t possible. This was great as taking direct to the people actually doing the work made you feel like they listened to what you wanted and not just what they wanted to do. They even went to the extreme as removing our guttering down pipe to hide cables and make things as neat as possible. Our main priority was to fit as many panels on the roof for good generation and feed back rates but still leave it as neat and symmetrical as possible, even on the day of install we changed the layout to maximise this and the RR team happily obliged. After the install, Cathy was quickly in-touch with, sorting out our DNO & MCS certificates, relevant paperwork and schematics that we would need to go with the system. In the end we have ended up with the Sigenergy system with a 6KW inverter, 16 460w panels and a Sigenergy 10 Battery. This system absolutely outperforms our usage, feeds back to the grid and runs the house WITHOUT drawing power from the Grid 🙏 ( so far as of March anyway ) Our normal energy consumption per month is around £75 🤷♂️ throughout the month of March our energy cost us £16.79 ( made up mostly by standing charges - we pulled 10.6 KW all month from the grid ) but as we stared to get our outgoing tarried sorted by late March we actually got £23.99 back 😳 🤔Would I recommend the RR team? YES and already have, they gave me an abundance of leaflets that I have already handed out and we also keep one at work for customers of ours to see. 😀 🙏 We can’t thank you enough for your thoroughness, attention to detail, respect to our property and general warm and welcoming feeling we got from you all.🙏 😂 A side note to all RR customers - They do enjoy a bacon sandwich around 11:30am and pleanty of Tea and Coffee throughout the day 😂
Great service from initial contact to after install hand over and follow up. Recommended.
We have recently worked with Rutland Renewables Ltd on one of our latest developments, where they were responsible for the installation of solar panels, battery storage systems and EV chargers across the site. From initial consultation through to completion, the team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, technical expertise and attention to detail. Their knowledge of renewable systems was evident throughout. Communication was clear and consistent, and they worked collaboratively with our site team to ensure everything was delivered smoothly. The quality of the installation has been excellent, and the end result aligns perfectly with the standard we aim to achieve across our developments. We would not hesitate to recommend Rutland Renewables Ltd and look forward to working with them again on future projects.
Recently had Solar Panels fitted. A great company all round. Even worked through the rain Cannot say enough about them
It was an absolute pleasure dealing with Rutland Renewables,their workmanship and attention to detail was acceptional,all work completed on time with no issues and working efficiently from the moment of switch on.
It’s the second time I’ve used Rutland Renewables and as before, great service from start to finish.
Rutland Renewables has been excellent in the workshop they have done for us. They added an extra battery to our solar system and everything went like clockwork. The job was completed ahead of time, the fitters were friendly and kind. I have no reservation in recommending them
A very professional yet friendly and approachable company, who installed my solar panels very efficiently, competently and neatly. I am delighted with the panels and very happy with Rutland Renewables follow up service. Highly recommend.
Tim visited to check out the Inverter which I feared had failed (it was installed around 13 years ago) and after a few checks with some techy gear he confirmed it was dead as the proverbial dodo. Tim emailed a quote to me within a week and the job was booked in around the following week. One of the guys came to fit it (sorry I forgot his name!) and in a short amount of time the inverter was in, setup and he showed me the app to download so I can view the solar energy being generated. I can definitely recommend Rutland Renewables as they know their stuff and good at what they do!
Very good service from the initial survey to the installation. I already had solar panels so needed battery storage and car charger installed. It was clearly explained & the installation team were very thorough and explained how it all worked on completion. When I had some follow up questions to get the best use of the system, the office team were very helpful.
Rutland Renewables impressed us from start to finish - installing an EV charger in a listed house is not a simple challenge, but they went about it with great thoroughness and resourcefulness. Plus they are a very friendly team, so dealing with them is always a pleasure. They make the difficult feel relatively easy.
Excellent service offered by Rutland Renewables. They were very knowledgeable and helpful in determining the right solar and battery options for us. Their whole team were most competent, efficient and friendly. No questions or changes of our minds phased them and their electricians worked in harmony on site with other contractors involved in our new build project. I would highly recommend employing Rutland Renewables.
The company installed an array of sixteen solar panels and a 10 kw storage battery in our house. The work was carried out by courteous and professional personnel and was excellent all the way through from initial quote to final handover. I will certainly use them again if the need arises.
Very friendly, very helpful and totally professional. Work carried out to a very high standard.
Brilliant personable friendly service. Fair pricing. Excellent kit (panels, battery and EV charger).
Exceptional from start to finish. Very helpful, no question too much trouble. We had 6 solar panels and a battery. Brilliant installation. Very good aftercare. Definitely recommend.
I just cannot speak too highly about the excellent service that I have received from Rutland Renewables - from initial contact to a highly satisfactory installation, the RR team has been thoroughly professional, punctual and impeccably reliable. I recommend them unreservedly and would be most happy to be contacted directly by anyone who is considering using their services.
Very happy with the solar panels, battery and inverter fitted by Rutland Renewables. The guys on the team were all very friendly, professional and knowledgeable and completed the job on the dates we agreed and in the time frame agreed and all at the cost we agreed so we are very happy. The scaffolders were also a good team and did a great job even though access to the rear of our property is not shall we say the easiest.
As a part of an extensive renovation project on my house I had a full in-roof solar panel array install with Sigen batteries, invertor, gateway and EV charger from Rutland Renewables Ltd. I was extremely happy with the advise, service and support I have received from them before, during and after the installation. I would highly recommend them for all your renewable energy needs.
Good advice, sensibly priced, seamless installation, good handover of finished product and manuals, excellent customer service. I thoroughly recommend.
Very efficient both in arranging the installation and in it’s fitting. Excellent service
Great service, v knowledgeable and professional, couldn’t ask for more
Super experience from start to finish, really lovely company to work with and we are so pleased with our panels.
Really good solar & battery installation. All went smoothly & now outperforming the original prediction.
I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Rutland Renewables, two days to fit 18 panels and a 10kw battery. The engineers were so professional and friendly, answering questions and explaining everything they were doing. They left us with a fully working system and no mess. I would recommend.
We recently had solar panels and battery/transformer fitted by Rutland Renewables. We are really happy with the job they did and the advice before and after the work. We are happy to recommend them and have already made our own recommendations to friends
Rutland Renewables we're fantastic from start to finish! A few of our neighbours had recommended them and having got a similar quote from a nationwide company, I decided I would much rather go with a local firm in case they needed to come out again. I felt like no question was to silly to ask and they we're always very prompt with there responses, which helped narrow down the overall system I went for. The fitting of the battery/inverter/cabling was very neatly done and it's been amazing to see how much the panels have generated and we're so happy we went ahead with it and glad we chose to go with Rutland Renewables. I highly recommend them!
We approached Rutland Renewables in early March 2025 for a quote for a solar installation at our home. Very quickly we received a considered plan and quote for an installation that met our expected needs; there was no hard sell. We accepted the quote and arranged with Rutland Renewables to fit the installation over 2 days in early April 2025. Despite the scaffolding arriving on the morning of planned installation, a calendar mix-up with the sub-contractor, the Rutland Renewables simply prioritised what could be achieved on the first day and had no problem completing the install by the end of the second day. A very professional, friendly, polite, enthusiastic and efficient team they were. They listened to our requirements regarding the routing of external cables etc. and their work was extremely tidy; the fit and finish of all components was to a very high standard. Once the system went live on the afternoon of the second day, the team assisted us with setting up the best tariff with our electricity supplier and advised as to the process of getting the requisite documents/serial numbers to allow us to apply for an 'electricity export' registration. Over the following few days the Rutland Renewables office provided us with the documentation we needed to make the application and basically guided us through it. Once the registration was complete, it only took a few days, we then approached our electricity supplier and set up an 'export tariff': we started receiving 'credit' for exported electricity 28 days after the installation went live. In terms of ongoing support we have had a couple of queries regarding paperwork and documentation, and these have been addressed very quickly and efficiently by the Rutland Renewables office. As for the installation itself, it is only 2 months old, but it hasn't missed a beat; it works exactly as expected. Rutland Renewables get 5 STARS, we thoroughly recommend their work and the service that they provide.
I am very pleased with the service provided by Rutland Renewables. The specification and estimate was clear; the panels were optimised for my two roofs; the installers were efficient, friendly and did what they said; the equipment was neatly installed and has been working perfectly for the two months since. I enjoy keeping an eye (via the App) on the quantities of electricity I generate, use myself and export to the grid.
From the initial visit to the after-installation support, the whole team were helpful, efficient and informative. It is now a few weeks since the solar panels began to provide us with electricity and we have been very pleased with the results.
We had solar panels installed in March '25 and I can honestly say this is one of the best moves we have ever made. Rutland Renewables was recommended to us and with good reason. Each step of the process was explained in detail and the end result was of the highest quality. The team was professional, highly skilled and quick without cutting corners. We have had a few teething problems, but who doesn't, and these have been dealt with speedily and with infinite patience. If you are looking for a first class job then these are the people to contact.
Prompt response and very tidy installation. Very pleased
Great service received from Rutland Renewables. Very prompt and great communication.
Rutland renewables completed an efficient install and with a competitive price. The team on site worked safely and the quality standards were high. We are really pleased with the App for managing the system and benefits from exporting to the grid. Great work!!
I was a bit concerned about how the installation would look, but I needn't have worried. It looks very neat and the electricians went above and beyond to make things as neat and tidy as possible. The scaffolders did a great job and the lads that fitted the PV panels removed the moss from the roof before installing the panels. There is just one visible cable, everything else is hidden. They found that I needed an extra external box, they found one the exact size as my existing meter box and fixed it at the same height and half a brick away at the side, it looks like it's always been there. The basics were covered at completion and a follow up visit after a couple of weeks was completed, to go through the finer points of the app. It's all working as expected and currently the 16 PV panels and the 10 kW battery have supplied 522 kWh in about a month.
I can highly recommend Rutland Renewables, all the staff were friendly, knowledgeable and hardworking. The professional approach meant the whole process from beginning to end was stress free. I am very happy with the solar panels and battery storage option that I chose. Great job 😀👍
Excellant service from first visit to installation. Provided a top quality product at a decent price would recommend to anyone.
Rutland Renewables were first class through all stages of the work, from initial inspection, helpful guidance, competitive pricing, great communications and very professional installation of the solar panels and battery installation. I would highly recommend.
A very helpful and efficient organisation who I would recommend
Rutland Renewables provided excellent advice and installed an excellent solar panel system. We were very impressed with their professionalism. Top marks.
Great service. Their pricing and expertise was superior to the competition for our 70Kw project
The whole process has been faultless from the beginning. First meeting was professional, details were clearly explained and information provided in writing afterwards. Installation was faultless, completed on the expected date, site left clean and tidy, workmen polite and tidy and no issues to report in the 3 months since it has been installed. All paperwork has been received and the process to sign up for exporting our spare energy was easy as we had all of the relevant documents. It does take a while for all of this to arrive but that is just the way the system is at the moment! Really happy with our solar panels and battery system and highly recommend this company.
Great work and after sales service
The Rutland Renewables team were friendly, polite, and were totally focused on the installation. Work ethic was to be admired. Teamwork was clear & very effective. The whole team were all experienced with the technology & could explain the technicalities very well. From the first meeting we felt confident we could rely. Our belief was correct.
Very happy with our Solar panels from Rutland Renewables We anticipate a reduction of approximately 65% on our energy bill over the year. We can view our generation via an app on the phone.
Our solar install took place between 12/01/24 and 14/01/24 and we could not be happier. We had installed an 8.1kwp east/west array (10 panels on each side) with a 5kw Givenergy inverter and 9.5kw Givenergy storage battery. Communication from start to finish was spot on and despite the freezing cold (but sunny) days the installers cracked on always with a smile on their faces, they genuinely enjoy what they do and it shows. Keep them topped up with warm drinks and they are good to go! Follow up paperwork was swift and attention to detail was clearly present throughout. If you are considering solar, it is a no-brainer from me and if you are considering Will, Tim, Cathy and the team at Rutland Renewables I could not recommend any higher, a company to carry out this work for you.
I can’t rate this company highly enough. From the first time I made contact until the day the system was commissioned, the service has been second to none. Couldn’t have been more helpful, competitive on price, everything happened when they said it would and the workmanship is brilliant. I was dreading instillation day, but the guys were quick, tidy, courteous and were done and gone in a matter of days. They are very clued up on the subject of solar power and have gone out of their way to make sure I get the best out of our system from day one. Thank you gentlemen.
We used Rutland Renewables after a neighbour had 10 panels fitted and they were pleased with the result. We had 16 panels, a 91/2Kwh battery and 5Kwh inverter installed. This was all arranged from start to finish in about 2 months and expertly managed by Will and his team. The scaffolding was erected on Friday, the installation team arrived promptly on the Monday morning and the work was completed including the commissioning of the system by early on the Tuesday afternoon as promised. All work was done neatly and cleanly (despite the weather) including the lifting and relaying of paving slabs between the house and garage, cables etc. The team are a great bunch of lads and a pleasure to deal with, removing shoes while working in the house and enjoying a joke with us. Will recently returned to help us sort out payment for any excess electricity we may generate from an energy supplier other then our present supplier and from our experience I would have no hesitation in recommending this company.
The installation of solar panels, inverter, diverter and battery was carried out in a professional and speedy fashion by a team who clearly had the necessary skills and understanding of the system. The cost of the project was very fair and we would have no hesitation in recommending the company to other potential customers
20 Panel Array (8.3 kWp) Hybrid Inverter (5kW) Batteries 2 x 9.5 kW (19kw total) Located in the East Midlands. At the outset I sent the same email to several companies both large and small requesting a quote. Not all companies responded!!! Out of those that did it was a mixed bag of info that I received, some fairly basic, some very detailed. I am fortunate that my roof can accommodate East, West and South facing panels yet only one company (Rutland Renewables) were able/willing to accommodate my request. I got the impression that the other companies didn’t want the additional hassle. Perhaps they wanted to avoid the G99 certification, I don’t know. As someone with no actual experience of Solar PV Installations I had lots of very basic questions yet Rutland responded politely, promptly but above all with the technical reasoning to back up their responses which I could of course look up and confirm online. There was no overselling of product, indeed Rutland produced a quote for a fairly small set up “Designed for a single person household” that would meet my current needs. As I own a fairly substantial property which my family will inherit eventually, I decided to get a bigger system to future proof the property to accommodate a family rather than a singleton. At my request Rutland and I eventually agreed on an installation that suited both current and future needs. The guys did a great job installing the new system, very polite and informative, with attention to detail and a respect for my property to the point of taking off their shoes when accessing the property. The onsite installation team were happy to answer my questions and queries in detail and in a “Jargon Free” way. Once the system was up and running, I was walked through the entire set up so I knew what the various isolators etc were for. They also walked me through the Givenergy phone app and its functions. The phone app and desktop versions are fascinating with lots of data and I’m quickly learning about the property base load etc which in turn will probably prompt me to not leave some items on standby overnight to conserve the battery and I’m already learning that with an abundance of FREE electricity its much better to boil a kettle when I want to wash a couple of cups rather than turn on the tap and burn EXPENSIVE gas and waste a load of water running the tap till it gets hot. A Win win situation. I’m sure I will learn more about load shifting (Maybe using the washing machine at a different time of day) or using a portable electric heater for a bit of additional heat instead of switching on the Gas Fired central heating as I get used to the new normal of FREE ELECTRICITY (Apart from the standing charge of course) I’m NOT motivated by “Green ideology” this is simply an upfront investment to reduce the cost of energy going forward and also allow a degree of energy independence (The system is designed to power the entire house in case of a grid power cut) At this stage, the system has only been in a week (Mid October) I can’t give figures on money saved, payback time etc however so far, I have had no need to draw electricity from the grid at all and once the system is fully registered etc I will even be able to sell electricity back to the supplier.
We used Rutland Renewables to install an EV charger. Delighted with the service and result. Kept us up to date with estimate installation dates. Installed the charger, left no mess and explained how to use the new system and app.
From the initial enquiry, site visit, quote, queries and installation we were very impressed with the team at Rutland Renewables. Their in house installation team are a credit to the company a great bunch of guys who respected us and our property whilst on site. Credit also to the scaffolding team who managed to dismantle the scaffolding to fit in with us.
The information I would like to share, is a few photos of the installation, and how my installation was processed. I ordered the solar panel installation and more in May 2023. At the time Rutland Renewables informed me of the waiting time due to the volume of work and the ordering the materials, scaffolding etc. The team kept in contact with me by the usual methods and updated me every few weeks up to the installation day. First the scaffolding a few day before, to be erected and then the exciting day of the installation. The engineers were great, kind and curious. The engineers working so hard in the 30 deg heat, and also answering my questions as they were sweating and working hard. Rutland Renewables director came along and trained me on how to use the two apps I have. Now I had 14 Solar Panels, 9.6Kwh Battery Storage, E.V. Charger, and an "EDDI" to give me free hot water everyday. Loving it! Then best of all, selling power back to the GRID. Best purchase Ive ever made! I believe I have chosen a great company, with total peace of mind with insurance backed Guarantee. Would I recommend them, oh yes! Hope this helps when choosing a company to install the various products you are thinking of purchasing.
Really pleased with the service from Rutland Renewables. They have been extremely professional and responsive from the start, responding quickly to e-mails and calls. Very reliable from quoting, through installation to post-installation support and trouble-shooting. Dealt a lot with Tim and Will and we were very impressed with the service throughout. Would certainly use them again.
We have just had solar panels installed and Tim, Will and the team at Rutland Renewables are fantastic. They are professional, accommodating, friendly and knowledgable. From start to finish, we have been fully informed and everything delivered as promised. Everyone has been a delight to work with including the chaps putting up the scaffolding and installing the system. I thoroughly recommend them:)
Find this company has issues with coming back to me after they sold and fitted a complete system to the builder and having asked them to come and explain and commission it so I can have it on the Solis app and Cloud still waiting 18 months later. Would steer well away from them.
Excellent company. They installed a 10 panel 9.5kwh battery system last week. Everything from start to finish went smoothly, scaffolding went up Fri, solar panels Mon, wiring and bird guard Tues, main electric Wed, commissioning Thu, scaffolding down Fri. Very professional team, friendly, informative, tidy and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend
Really good service and install. On hand with information when we needed it and talked through all the options available. Install itself was very speedy and we've been enjoying benefiting since.
Thoroughly pleased with our solar install and with all of the guys at Rutland Renewables. They have been so friendly and helpful throughout the entire process and really reasonably priced too. Highly recommend!
A great company! The service has been spot on from start to finish. Thank you to the whole team, we are, and will be, recommending you to all!
Absolutely delighted with everything from start to finish. Knowledgeable, good value and very efficient. I would use them again in a heartbeat.
