Sola Renewable Company Limited installs solar panels, batteries and EV chargers, and reviewers repeatedly praise Ryan and his team for clear communication, polite and tidy work and a professional manner. Several customers say the process was seamless or smooth from start to finish, and a few mention that questions were answered and options explained without pressure. One reviewer reports that an EV charger never worked from day one and that after-sales communication about the replacement was poor, while another says a separate product sold with the system failed within three months. Others describe a battery-only job finished in under four hours, a solar, battery and car charger install done in under a day, and a later addition of four panels completed in a few hours. One reviewer reports that Ryan continued to support them after a battery manufacturer went into administration, including fixing a Wi-Fi issue and hardwiring the system.
Ryan from Sola visited us initially and used a drone to survey our property and assess our set up. After discussing our requirements and giving us guidance on the best system and equipment we decided to give Ryan and his team the job. The installation was like a military exercise and all the team worked so well together on one of the hottest days of the summer. We were very impressed with the full service from Ryan and his team and would highly recommend Sola Renewable Company.
Very pleased with my solar + battery installation. Installation was seamless and efficient and everything is working nicely. My bills have come down a lot already, especially after using the AI mode on the system to export electricity at times of peak demand. Very nice job by Sola!
Ryan and his team were excellent from start to finish. Ryan in particular was very helpful & professional and answered all of our questions throughout the process. We were very happy we chose Sola and would definitely recommend them.
We chose Sola for a battery-only installation. Out of the three companies we talked to, Sola performed the most detailed inspection and explanation of the work prior to the quote. They recommended Signergy, which is a premium brand, but their quote for that was very competitive against other brands we had. The installation took less than four hours with three cheerful and efficient engineers, making good after they removed fixtures, and leaving no mess behind.
I highly recommend Sola for solar and battery installations. Ryan and the team managed my recent project and they were outstanding from start to finish. Their communication was excellent, ensuring I was kept in the loop at every stage. The actual installation and the system handover were executed to a very high standard. A seamless, professional, and stress-free experience.
Ryan and his team and excellent. Great service, polite tidy workers. Attentive and thorough. The products they use are top quality and their pricing is competitive. I know because I researched a lot before choosing Sola. So happy with the work and solar panels. Thank you. Use them!
Ryan and the team did a brilliant job of installing my solar panels / battery etc. Great comms. Very neat job. Very happy. Would highly recommend the Sola Renewable Company.
Ryan and the team were outstanding. Did a great job installing the solar panels, battery, and car charger in under a day and at competitive price. Highly recommended.
We have just had an installation of battery and solar with Sola-UK. From start to finish a 5* service. Polite respectful and honest. Attended to all our queries in good order and without overselling anything. The installers were super friendly and polite, obviously knew what they were doing and worked in the blistering heat on a bank holiday without any complaints. Left the site clean and tidy and would not hesitate to recommend Ryan and his team. Excellent.
Just had a great experience dealing with Sola renewables on a business to business basis. Very professional, thanks guys.
I recently worked with Ryan from Sola to develop plans to install solar panels, an inverter and batteries. Throughout our discussions and over several iterations of the proposal he was helpful and informative. He was able to answer our questions promptly and visited our property on several occasions to review the installation plan. Unfortunately, at a late stage in the project, our circumstances changed and we decided not to go ahead. This was not a reflection on either Sola as a company or on Ryan himself and I would be happy to recommend both.
Great company. The installation went really smoothly, instructions for use very clear and installers were friendly and tidy. Would recommend
Sola Renewables is one of the best companies I have worked with. Ryan has been absolutely excellent throughout. I had a GivEnergy All-in-One system installed two years ago, and then added a battery last year. Most recently, I added another battery just two weeks ago—shortly before GivEnergy went into administration, which was quite concerning. Despite this, Ryan has continued to support me whenever needed. I had a Wi-Fi issue recently, and he came and sorted it quickly. He also went the extra mile by hardwiring the entire system so we don’t have to rely on the unreliable GivEnergy Wi-Fi dongle. He even installed a TP-Link extender and spent the whole day ensuring everything was set up perfectly. Ryan is a true star, and I will gladly recommend Sola Renewables to anyone.
I am extremely disappointed with the overall experience and after-sales service from this company. Initially, everything seemed promising — I had a GivEnergy solar system installed along with an EV charger, and was also sold a product called “Rowan Miner” as part of the package. I was told this would generate an additional income of 10p per kW of energy produced. However, within just 3 months, this product stopped working entirely, and to make matters worse, the company behind it has since gone bankrupt. This has effectively left me out of pocket by nearly £1000. The issues didn’t stop there. The EV charger they installed has never worked from day one. After reporting the issue, someone eventually came out to inspect it and confirmed that it needed replacing. That was over two weeks ago, and since then I’ve heard nothing — no updates, no follow-up, no resolution. I’ve been told that the replacement unit is pending as the GivEnergy product is manufactured in China and they are waiting for stock, but the lack of communication and urgency is unacceptable. Overall, the installation may have been completed, but the after-sales support has been extremely poor. I feel let down and regret choosing this company. I would not recommend them based on my experience.
We received a quote from Ryan recently. Prompt, responsive & professional. He was very easy to deal with and I'd recommend him to others.
Cannot recommend this company enough. We had solar panels and battery fitted and found the whole process seamless from start to finish. Competitive pricing and very professional. Ryan and his team were great.
Professional & Speedy installation by Ryan. Very much recommended!
We had Sola fit GivEnergy backup batteries in October 2025. The whole process from initial assessment by David Hayman to completion was seamless. Everything was explained very well and time was taken to ensure that anything not understood was understood. No outrageous promises were made and now we have 4 months experience, it is performing as expected. No hiccups - no glitches. Ryan is extremely capable and trustworthy and his 2 installers were excellent. The work was done in one day and the area was left cleaner than when they arrived! I would thoroughly recommend Ryan and Sola.
We were extremely pleased with the first solar installation provided by Sola Renewable. Then we wanted a battery added to shift the cheap overnight tariff to a battery to use during the high tariff daytime rates. All done beautifully with no hassle, and everything is working brilliantly. Then we wanted to add four more panels... Ryan did a survey, gave advice and then, when all was prepared, in just a few hours, installed four new panels and integrated them into the system. Brilliant. Absolutely marvellous. They say what they mean and mean what they say and do it on time, professionally - and they clean up the mess afterwards. I highly recommend Sola Renewables and Ryan Williams.
Ryan and his company were very professional, knowledgeable, friendly and supportive. Excellent installation, tidy workers and a pleasure to deal with. We would highly recommend them.
Great Engineer and installation, would recommend
Ryan is very friendly and professional. Prior to installation, all questions were answered and I never felt pushed or hurried into anything. The crew that worked with him were quick, neat and tidy. The process (additional battery to an existing PV/battery install) took under 8 hours, but that included Ryan having to drive off to acquire a component that wasn't in the kit supplied by the manufacturer and at least 2 hours for the actual upgrade and commissioning of the twin batteries. Showed the key components of the new install, including shut down and start up procedures, should they be needed. All in all, very satisfied with the outcome.
A great installation of an 11 panel system with battery and EV charger. Ryan was easy to get hold of, kept us updated, and really knows his stuff.
From our very first point of contact Sola and Ryan's communication was clear, responsive, and addressed all our points every time. The installation was rapid, arrived exactly on time, professional and exactly as stated. Ryan's follow-up has continued this trend with great post-installation communication and actions. Deposit and payment process clear, simple and easy. Overall, an excellent experience and certainly recommended, and will continue to use for our future needs.
Waww👍
We had several other companies quote for our solar panels, but none gave the completely honest and in depth advice that Ryan did (some didn't even visit the house). From the first visit to the final sign off, Ryan was professional, quick to respond, and super helpful. His install team were quick, neat and tidy and polite. Highly recommended.
We had an excellent experience with Ryan and the Sola team. Ryan was very responsive and informative throughout the process. He quoted a range of options, including different numbers of panels and battery sizes, and explained additional features that could be fitted, such as a solar immersion controller and EV charger, without any pressure or hard sell. The installation by Sola was incredibly efficient, and the system has been performing perfectly for several months now. Ryan has continued to provide great support post-installation. We couldn't be happier with the whole experience and highly recommend Sola to anyone considering solar panel or battery installation.
Installed as arranged. All work done professionally & very tidy. Ryan ensured the system was fully functional and explained how things work before leaving. Would use them again.
I used Sola back in Dec 2023. They were professional at all times, very communicative and listened to all my requirements. My system continues to go strong with minimal issues!
From start to finish, Sola were totally professional - in their attitude, in listening to our needs, in their approach to the work on the install day (as were the scaffolders) and in providing infomation once complete. A great team. Ryan designed a system exactly as we had asked for and supervised the install and did the commisioning. Polite and professional throughout. The scaffolders did their job again professionally and on time - despite it being stupidly hot! The guys on the roof and the electricians worked hard to get the job done in less than a day, communicating well with Ryan and us on progress. Genuinely a pleasure to have this team in the house. They clearly work well together and nice to see a groups of young people just getting on with stuff!
We have recently undergone a full house renovation and chose Sola to work on the solar panels and battery backup, best choice we made. Ryan has been a dream to work with from the start to finish. He was in constant contact during the project and made frequent visits early on to ensure all required cabling etc was in place so that everything could be hidden to provide a seamless finish. The team were very considerate and accommodating to other contractors and worked very well together. Thank you for providing such a fantastic service and making the process as smooth as possible during a stressful project.
Ryan provided an excellent service, with the work being well organised with a neat finish. He has answered any questions, always getting back to me quickly. The system works very well and we are very pleased with it.
Ryan and his team were very professional. The work was carried out really quickly and with a lot of care. I didn't realise that everything would be completed so quickly with minimal disruption and no mess. I'm very impressed. Thanks again Sola.
Great installation.
Sola efficiently undertook the whole project. From designing and specifying the installation, obtaining planning permission and listed building consent, coordinating the rapid, painless installation by their very competent trade teams, through to commissioning and briefing us on its operation. Ryan made the whole process enjoyable, persisted despite others having been put off by reluctant planners and organised the project to achieve shortest possible time on site and minimum disruption. Rarely experienced such care and attention in over 50 years of experience as a chartered architect.
Ryan and his team were absolutely excellent. We tried to use a different supplier prior to Ryan and they left us a bit high and dry. Ryan and sola renewable came in without a moments hesitation, gave us a clear plan and executed it not only quickly but to a very high standard. Was always available for a call and had the patience of a saint explaining to us how it all works. Super knowledgeable and very hands on. Couldn't be more happy with our install.
Incredibly impressed with the Sola team and I would highly recommend them due to their professionalism, knowledge and expertise. Ryan was fantastic from start to finish and went through all the options for installing solar panels, battery storage and iboost. He was always happy to discuss questions I had and make modifications to ensure I got the right system and fully understood its benefits. We already had a few issues with our roof so took the opportunity to have additional scaffolding and the ridge lines and chimneys overhauled by Dan from horizon roofing whose team were top notch. Dan’s team installed the panels which look great and compared to other installations I’ve seen in neighbouring roads, the installation is far superior and they had great attention to detail which really makes a difference. The other companies I had round to get quotes from didn’t come close to Sola. They were either sales reps just trying to push the sale or lacked the detail to be able to explain the system. You’re in very safe hands of you chose to go with Ryan and the team he has assembled. The Give Energy app is incredibly easy to use and it was great to see that I’m already saving the moment the system was commissioned!
I am extremely satisfied with the solar panels that were installed by this company. My electricity bills have drastically reduced, and I appreciate the positive impact it has on the environment.
Perfect experience from start to finish. Sola installed our solar panels, fast and smoothly. Solar panels are installed with batteries, and DNO approved. Brilliant We went with sola because of their excellent prices, and everything is installed and working smoothly so far. Brilliant company, Ryan is always available to help. Would recommend!
A brilliant experience from start to finish. Ryan was very knowledgeable and explained everything so clearly as we really didn’t know much about this before we met him. He provided us with the quote and wasn’t pushy when it came to making a decision. The installation went very smoothly, and the installers were very polite. The solar panels works brilliant and can’t wait to see those cost savings. Would highly recommend.
I just wanna say a big thanks to Ryan. Me and my husband wanted to know more information about the air source heat pump. Ryan explained everything clearly, provided us with the quote then asked us to call him when we were ready to make a decision. The installation went very smoothly, and the installers were very polite. The air source heat pump works amazingly.
