DES Renewable Energy

I contacted DES Renewables, along with a number of other companies, with the view to having solar panels installed. DES were by far the most professional, following up promptly on my various queries, with each aspect of the process being explained in detail. The process itself, from erecting the scaffolding to the final connection, was seamless and surprisingly quick. I was impressed particularly with the surveyor who spent time assessing the property in detail. His report meant that the installation of the panels and the battery went smoothly.

DES Renewables . A company that cares about its customers , also gives a reasonable price as the cheapest is not always the one to go to . Very tidy workmen who care . Definitely recommend to anyone who requires Solar Panel , Battery , Heat Pumps etc… A1 +

Love this company. They were super friendly and answered all of my questions without any fuss or intimidation. I wanted a local expert simply because of this reason :)

Initial contact was great. Brilliant staged communication. Payment plan explained. Installation was not plain sailing, but the dedicated engineer stayed late to resolve and quality of workmanship was apparent. Great aftercare and technical support. I would recommend.

We had solar panels installed and all the staff were friendly and professional from the scaffolders to the installers and the staff in the office. They all arrived on time and had no hassle. Only thing that let them down was the surveyor did not pass on the information to the installers so we had to explain what we wanted. Would recommend if you are after solar panels

DES Renewable Energy Limited fitted an EPS gateway to our solar system yesterday, and I cannot fault the service. The engineer arrived on time and was polite and courteous throughout. He clearly knew the subject well, and the installation went smoothly with very little disruption to our day. He kept the work area tidy, cleaned up thoroughly afterwards, and took the time to show me how the system works before he left. His conduct was utterly professional from start to finish. I would happily recommend DES to anyone considering a solar PV installation, or needing maintenance or additional work on an existing solar system.

Smooth installation of battery and solar. All done with a minimum of fuss.

An excellent team, very knowledgeable and truly professional in all respects. No hard selling techniques employed on any occasion. Highly recommended.

Great technical knowledge and advice, no hard sell, top experience

We have been so impressed with Des renewable’s. From the initial contact on advice on which system would work best for our needs, excellent attention to detail, listening to our requirements when discussing the position of the battery and hiding cables on the outside of the property to the final installation everything has gone smoothly. We have been kept well informed every step of the way. We cannot thank Des renewables enough and so delighted we chose them for our installation. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much to the whole team.

Fantastic service from start to finish. Always kept us informed at every step and during the process. Reliable and made sure we understood everything and were completely happy. We had the option to go via our energy provider but are really happy that we chose DES an would definitely recommend

We spent quite a lot of time researching solar and battery systems and obtained several quotations before choosing DES Renewable Energy. Throughout the process we found them knowledgeable, straightforward and willing to discuss the technical details rather than simply trying to sell us a standard package. Our requirements changed as we learnt more about the options available, and DES were very accommodating in revising the design and explaining the advantages and disadvantages of the different configurations. We eventually chose a 7.44kW Aiko solar array with a GoodWe 10kW hybrid inverter, 16.6kWh battery storage and whole-house backup. They also dealt with the G99 application and clearly explained the export limitation imposed by the DNO and what it would and importantly would not affect. Communication before installation was good, the team arrived when promised and installed everything that had been agreed. The installation is now up and running and so far the system is performing very well. What particularly impressed us was that DES didn't automatically recommend every possible extra. For example, we discussed panel optimisers in some detail and, given the lack of significant shading on our roof, they explained why they didn't believe the additional cost and complexity were justified. That gave us confidence that their recommendations were based on what was appropriate for our property rather than simply increasing the value of the sale. There were a few practical lessons from the installation itself. If you have an older tiled roof, I would recommend having some matching spare tiles available beforehand as tiles can break when being lifted and moved. We also had a few cosmetic scratches to panels during handling, although nothing that appears to affect their operation. Overall, we've been very pleased with DES. They turned up when they said they would, supplied and installed what they promised, answered a great many questions along the way, and the finished system is currently working exactly as expected. Based on our experience so far, I would happily recommend them.

DES renewable energy installed our solar panels and battery August 2026, from the first point of enquiry, to the survey and the installation, everything has gone fantastically smoothly! Both james and Spencer during the installation were clean, tidy, polite and the advice and post installation instructions were clear. Great company, we would highly recommend to others and enjoying being off grid

A great all-round experience with DES Renewables. From the start Rowan was helpful and knowledgeable, dealing patiently with my (numerous) queries on the different systems and specifications. The electrician (Ross) carefully explained his plans for day one, listening patiently and responding to my requests for the positioning of batteries, components and associated cable runs. On day two the roofer (Steve) fitted the PV panels expertly and efficiently. Whilst the initial plan was to have 19 panels, on the day only 18 panels would fit on the roof highlighting the limitations associated with initial surveys. Although slightly disappointing, Steve took the time to explain and show me the issue and Brenda adjusted the final quote accordingly. This wasn't the cheapest quote I found, but I suppose you get what you pay for. In conclusion, I would not hesitate in recommending DES - the whole team has proved professional, efficient, knowledgeable, approachable and extremely client-focused.

DES, solar panel installation, Aug2026: This is a high-quality company very much focussed on good customer service i.e. having an excellent product, knowledgeable people whom one may consult at every stage of the installation, immediate support in the event of any issues [the engineer was at our house within an hour to ‘tune’ the batteries] and reasonably priced. Would I recommend them? Most certainly; I did look at other so-called ‘leading brands’ but they could not deliver to the same standards. I bought on a friend’s recommendation and hadn’t heard of them before. Now, with what I know, DES it would be my first choice for solar panels. Details: 28 panels, 2 batteries, an inverter [converts solar DC to AC] and a gateway [for when the grid goes down]: just under £15k. This generates 4x what our house uses; plan is to sell the excess to the grid to cover our gas bill.

I've recently had panels & a battery installed by DES & I couldn't be happier. They weren't the cheapest quote but they weren't the most expensive either. As the system is a significant investment for me I wanted to be sure I picked a local, reliable & professional installer. A cheaper cowboy outfit offered to turn up (without a survey or DNO in place), chuck them on the roof & (no doubt) disappear. DES have been incredibly professional & thorough from pre-sales right through to installation & completion. Lovely people to deal with. I couldn't have had a better experience & can highly recommend DES. From the solar output figures I'm getting my bills are going to be tiny!

Highly recommend this company for solar installations. Excellent pre-sales service and the installation team were knowledgeable, helpful and very friendly. The work has been carried out to a high standard and communication has been excellent. Well done and thanks for doing a great job 👍

Accurate diagnosis of problem with roof mounted SolarEdge PV system. Scaffold contractor appointed and scaffold erected 1 day prior to service repair. Two new optimisers fitted and system returned to full operation. Installer polite, pleasant and efficient. Kept informed on process for service and administration very helpful. Highly recommend DES.

Firstly, DES were recommended by Solar Sherpa. I contacted three companies that were recommended by them and then spoke to their sales teams in detail. After speaking with Richard at DES, I felt most confident in the advise, level of detail and then specification that he gave. They listened carefully to what I required from the system and then produced the full specification. DES were not the cheapest. I didn't want cheap, I wanted good value and to know that what they were saying would be delivered. The survey was carried out and the paperwork done. An installation date was booked and was kept to, despite it being a blisteringly hot day. The three man installation team worked tirelessly all day from 7.30am to 6pm in order to complete the job in one day and leave me with a working system. Even at the end of the day, when I had to have a tutorial on how to use the app, there was no suggestion of rushing to get away. It's been a busy summer for solar installations and I know DES have been extremely busy. One item was on back order from the supplier, again because of demand, so an electrician had to come back to revise the system finally to complete. This took some time, but credit must go to the office staff who handle the bookings, it's been a difficult summer and yet they retained total professionalism and an positive attitude despite having to juggle various issues. I have had a 16 panel and three battery system installed and I have paid nothing but the standing charge to the electricity supplier since the installation went live in June. We've also been running one electric and one PHEV car totally from the solar over this heat wave. I can't mark DES down at all, despite a bit of a wait for the out of stock item to be finally fitted. It's a five star service and they really care. Their technical support was excellent on the one occasion that I've had to contact them too. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone thinking of installing a solar system.

Well done DES! We chose DES from a range of other suppliers as their quotes were clear, advice was friendly, survey was in person rather than remote and they came across as a genuine local company as opposed to the larger national companies that rely on contractors to fulfil their work. We are genuinely thankful for the competitive pricing, knowledgeable advice that helped us build a solar solution that met our needs and friendly and professional installation. If you are looking for peace of mind I couldn’t recommend another company to look for.

We looked at 3 companies to install solar panels and DES Renewable Energy stood out in terms of professionalism and competitiveness. From start to finish the whole process went very smoothly. The team was responsive and dealt with any issues arising promptly. We had no worries at all and it was a pleasure to work with them. We are confident that we have a sound system and that we are in good hands going forward.

DES Renewable Energy were a very good company to work with. They responded attentively to my queries and requests during the tender process. DES is competent technically - they understand electricity & the technology which is changing fast. They delivered the solar & battery scheme on time & to the price quoted. They cooperated well with the roofing company who removed the tiles and fitted new tiles around the panels.

I decided to go with DES Renewables based on their excellent reviews. I have to say they did exactly as promised. From the initial advice to the engineers visit to the installation everything went extremely smoothly. I’ve been able to contact them for advice and updates. Very professional.

We couldn't be happier with our experience with DES Renewables. From our very first enquiry through to installation and aftercare, they have consistently exceeded our expectations. One thing that really stood out was how transparent and customer-focused they were from the outset. They provided us with three different quotations to suit a range of budgets and were very clear that there was absolutely no pressure to choose the more expensive option. Instead, they took the time to explain the differences so we could choose the system that was right for us. Liam was excellent in guiding us through the early stages of the process. He was knowledgeable, patient and made everything feel straightforward. Andy was equally fantastic on the operations side, keeping us informed throughout and ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The installation itself was carried out professionally and efficiently. The scaffolding was erected just four days before installation and we were advised it would remain in place for around two weeks afterwards in case any adjustments were needed. True to their word, it is being removed today, just under the two-week mark. It's refreshing to deal with a company that does exactly what they say they will. The quality of the installation and equipment has been excellent, and we're already delighted with the performance of our solar panels, battery and EV charging setup. What has impressed us just as much has been the after-sales support. Like many people new to solar, there is a learning curve when it comes to understanding the apps and getting everything working together in the most efficient way. Whenever we've had questions, the technical support has been outstanding. Mikey has been absolutely fantastic, helping us optimise the settings on our Zappi EV charger and guiding us through the battery settings to ensure the whole system works together as efficiently as possible. Nothing has seemed too much trouble, and his advice has been clear, patient and incredibly helpful. It's rare these days to find a company that not only delivers an excellent product but also genuinely cares about making sure you get the very best from it after installation. DES Renewables have done exactly that. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending DES Renewables to anyone considering solar. Excellent products, honest advice, first-class communication, outstanding customer service and superb aftercare. A five-star experience from beginning to end.

We had a great experience with DES Renewable Energy from start to finish. At the quotation stage, everything was explained in detail and I felt that a system was being designed to actually reflect our personal use, the type of roof and orientation of our house. The realistic generation potential and also the downsides were also explained. I felt that other quotes we got were simply package deals offering the exact same equipment every time. Richard, the designer was very prompt and patient in answering queries. The pre-installation survey process was very comprehensive. I was asked where I preferred all the equipment and cable runs to go and the installation process was clearly explained. During installation the team were excellent. Both Brandon the roofer and Ross the electrician did a brilliant job and were tidy and professional throughout. Ross did not leave site (despite it being late on a Friday) until the entire system was commissioned and confirmed as working by the remote monitoring team. A few small teething issues were quickly resolved. DES were not the cheapest quote I had but I feel the truely bespoke system plus their professionalism was worth the extra. Highly recommended.

DES provided excellent service throughout our whole experience with them. Conversations with the system designer, Darren were extremely helpful in explaining what would work best for our situation. Emails were promptly answered in detail. At no time did I feel pressurised into making a decision. Information about what would happen during the installation was sent in good time so there was plenty of opportunity to be organised and fully aware of what to expect. The installation team were fantastic, roofer Steve, electrician helper Rhys and main electrician Spencer. They worked in a very professional manner being respectful of our property. They arrived each day on time and were extremely busy throughout the two days. Spencer was very patient explaining the running of the system and setting up the two apps (PV system & EV charger). He mentioned on numerous occasions that support is only a phone call away and not to worry asking a question that might be deemed simple. Friendly, professional and highly knowledgeable about their products. I would not hesitate to recommend to others considering installing a solar and battery system.

Excellent service from start to finish! I hired DES Renewable Energy Ltd to install a Zappi EV charger at my home, and they did a phenomenal job. They arrived right on time, walked me through the optimal placement of the EV charger, and completed the installation quickly and cleanly. They even took the time to help me set up the app and test it with my car before leaving. Highly professional, transparent pricing, and zero hassle. Highly recommend!

Excellent quality. I highly recommend these guys. Very good and responsive. Jack, Reece and malakai were very professional. Great work and happy now I used no electricity from the grid.

Lovely experience with the team, all friendly and professional and no pressure, what a difference it all makes to the outcome. Great

Had solar panels, battery and matebox supply installed by these guys and from the start they were the most helpful- no high pressure sales just advice and the sort of advice that came like what they would do if it were their property. I was 'that' customer that asked a lot of questions and it was handled professionally and courteously the whole time. This is a firm that has been around a while doing electrical work not one thats spring up to jump on the solar bandwagon so these guys have a background in the important bit- and that shows- the install team were extremely professional and took a lot of pride in their work.

Outstanding from start to finish; from having an in depth consultation to physically having the system installed. The system has been quietly generating over the summer months (and in the sunny winter ones too). Gone is the stress of leaving the hot tub on or forgetting to switch a light off at the end of the night and getting fleeced by the energy company . My energy bill has dropped significantly saving me a fortune. Thank you DES.

Really happy with the service provided by DES. Their quote was competitive, the surveyor was very helpful and the installation went faultlessly. All the staff involved were excellent - especially Spencer the lead electrician who completed the work on site very tidily and gave us a comprehensive hand-over.

Highly recommend DES Renewables! From start to finish, the experience was excellent. Richard walked us through a detailed, tailored proposal and answered all our questions. The surveyor arrived right on time to plan the layout, and the communication throughout the process was fantastic—we always knew exactly when scaffolding and installers would arrive. The installation is incredibly neat with minimal visible cabling. The 4-part payment plan was very straightforward, too. As a huge bonus, the installers noticed our vallex needed a repair, allowing us to fix it while the scaffolding was already up, saving us a ton of money. Professional, honest, and highly recommended!

Great service from DES, from the first phone call through to install and service. The design phase was really professional and we didn't get the hard sell you get from many companies. They came out and looked at our property before confirming everything. They then kept us updated through the whole installation and the team that came out to wire and put everything up were excellent. Scaffolding all down a week later and everything working like a dream. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you to DES for a seamless install of our new solar set up. The information and advice provided beforehand by Darren and the team really helped inform our final decision. The scaffolders, Steve, the roofer and Jack, electrician were efficient and a credit to the business, the install of our 15 panel and Tesla Powerwall 3 system only taking two days, working perfectly as we speak. We would highly recommend.

Great experience for my solar and battery installation. Neat and tidy job. Very patient as it’s a bit of a minefield getting 5/6 quotes and trying to see who is giving best deal but I also saw their reviews which were very good. Highly recommend, Ben and his fellow electrician gave 1st class service and roofer a great job with the panels

I opted for DES Renewables based on my past experience with the company, having my previous installation undertaken by them. This time after an in-depth discussion I selected a 25 AIKO panel, GoodWe GW10k Inverter with 2 x GoodWe8.3 batteries, a total of 16.64 kWh storage system and I could not have been more pleased with my choice. Having the installation undertaken during May 2026 I find myself some 24 days later having only drawn 1.6kWh from the grid and having fully charged my car twice during this time, far better than I had accounted for, due to this I am already of the mindset that I shall be purchasing a further 16.64kWh storage in the very near future. If you are in the market, don't be fooled by adverts on Social Media that promise the earth for very little, trust a real installer that will be there for you years later.

The knowledge the team has is fantastic, they really help to map everything out clearly in the reports which many of the competition struggle to do in the same way. We had a couple delays for the electrics but after a follow up, the team delt well with the issues and shared my frustrations and resolved the issue promptly. I would recommend them as the are great value for the investment made.

A very good experience from DES Renewable Energy, starting with patiently explained and intelligent pre-sales advice that helped us to find the best way to meet our requirements, and finishing with a thoughtful and meticulously tidy installation team and thorough handover - wholeheartedly recommended.

Very helpful staff when ever I called them. And very patient with me working out what solar panels, batteries and inverter to have in my Sigenergy system. And as we had a problem with our roof which had to be fixed before we could have the solar panels fitted. This caused a small delay but worked out well in the end. On the day of the fitting the solar panel fitters started at 8am and the electricians were just a little later and they all got on with there work, and checking with me where things were going and how it was all going to work. The two electricians were very good with the care they took in all their work which I was very impressed with. After they finished the install they ran me through the whole system and how it all worked helping me with the app and telling me if I had any questions after they had gone to contact the technical dept. I would recommend DES Renewable's to anyone thinking of having a solar energy system.

We used DES to upgrade our PV system. They recommended a cost effective solution to meet our requirements. They were consistently helpful and responsive including post implementation support.

DES renewables fitted my solar panels and battery in June 2026. I had a great experience with DES Renewable Energy. From the start, they provided clear expectations and excellent advice, and their team was always incredibly prompt in responding to my queries. I also really appreciated their flexibility when it came to payment options. When it came to the installation, the site staff of electricians and installers were fantastic—highly knowledgeable, friendly, and professional throughout. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking into renewable energy!

Knowledgeable staff and a fairly seamless process from start to finish. Staff are not pushy for a sale, they go at your pace.

Was excellent from starting appointment over the phone to finished product . Only had our solar and battery for just a little over a month but can already see a huge price difference on our octopus energy app . Would highly recommend des renewable energy .

Excellent service from start to finish. Can't recommend highly enough.

Fitted with no problems. Saving us money on electricity.

The came out and fitted the panels on the 1st day which was a very easy process on the second day they did all the other work fitting the battery and invertor and completing the wiring which was a very neat job the installation was a very professional job Would highly recommend DES they put no pressure on you at any time during the process

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. The panels are performing well and give us enough to pay for all of our electricity and gas plus several hundred pounds back every year.

Can't recommend this company highly enough. Did exactly what they promised when they promised for the price they promised. Easy to deal with and very responsive to any calls or queries. Ive had the instation for three years now. It was estimated that the instal would pay for itself in eight years, in fact its doing better than that. The only thing I would change would be to have another battery. But it was my choice to have just one.

Great service and excellent communication, would highly recommend. Very professional from start to finish.

A great experience throughout. DES fitted our solar panels and battery system. They took care of the whole process, survey, install, commission and registration. Everything went smoothly and all trades turned up as scheduled and were pleasant, prompt and efficient. (The Roofers even worked in the snow!) Very happy with the install.

Couldn't fault them. In comparison with the well known energy suppliers, DES answered all the questions and we were able to speak to a single point of contact at each stage. For those starting on the steep learning curve from a very low knowledge base, as we were, it made life a lot less stressful.

From the initial quotation and technical explanation of the possible options through to the site survey, installation and commissioning DES were very professional. One reason I chose them was that they are not a one man business. They have staff covering different aspects of the project. They kept me informed of the progress.

A clean and tidy installation process, the panels and battery work torso well that I hardly use any peak time/cost power any more. Very pleased indeed.

A thoroughly professional installation, from survey to completion everything was seamless.

Very good supply and initial support. Less good now for support on changing wifi provider for GivEnergy inverter.

Clear advice and prompt installation. Had a bit of difficulty in getting Battery storage into service. The Goodwe app could be more effective and clearer

DES did a full install for me back in 2023...The whole process went very well, no problems and ever since we have been enjoying remarkably low bills...around £500 per year for all out energy and our house has improved it's EPC rating hugely as a result.

We had solar panels, battery and an EV charger fitted by DES renewables just over 12 months ago. Been really pleased with- everyone involved with the company has been really helpful and all works carried out to a high standard. We had a small issue with our protective bird mesh and DES came and sorted it with no quibble. I’d happily recommend to anyone thinking of getting solar.

I recently worked with Renewable Energy and was impressed from start to finish. The team was punctual, professional, and transparent about timelines and costs. They explained my options clearly, handled all the paperwork, and kept me updated throughout the process. Installation was neat and efficient, and they left everything cleaner than they found it. My system was up and running on schedule, and I’m already seeing lower energy bills. Post-install support has been responsive and knowledgeable. Highly recommend Renewable Energy for anyone looking for reliable service and a smooth, stress-free experience.

All round great service. We initially installed solar without a battery (that was a mistake) and increased our cost. We then had further help from Andy and the team to add back a powerwall 3. I was quite specific about how I wanted the cables run, to conceal everything and Jack did an amazing job in the install of keeping as much as possible concealed and I'm really grateful for his hard work in doing so. I have already and would highly recommend this company.

I can honestly say that my experience with DES Renewable Energy from the initial engagement and survey, through the successful installation of solar panels and the subsequent after care service / assistance to obtain the Solar Savings Tariff has been eased considerably by this company's helpful and professional approach. Thank you DES Renewable Energy!

Excellent company that helped and advised us through the entire process of solar energy. Extremely professional, knowledgeable and very focused on our needs. They were brilliant from planning to installation with their after care second to none. I fully recommend DES!! 10/10 A++++++

Fantastic company – they set up our solar panels quickly, and with minimal fuss, keeping us updated on the process the whole way. We would highly recommend them!

DES - did an in-person survey and squeezed the biggest solar panel system possible on to our roof which all the others who only surveyed using Google maps said wasn't possible. The Solax kit has been reliable. Only negative DES use independent roofing and electrical contractors for the installation and if there are any problems they throw it straight back to the contractors - so get to know these guys, make them cups of tea - just in case!

Richard has created 3 proposal and answered all my questions. When install time has come, Jack, Spenser and Brandon has done splendid job, super efficient and quick.the roof work - Brandon and Spenser done it in no time and it looks great. The cabling was done by Jack - very neat and done exactly as I asked for. The unit required remote firmware upgrade, so Jack stayed back to make sure it’s all perfect and demoed it to me. Thanks guys. Super. 100% recommend. Left same review in trustpilot. It’s rare experience now days - to get job done quick and to the high standard. so should promote these guys.

After extensive research and quotes from four different companies, I decided that DES Renewables Ltd were the right company to fit solar panels and batteries for my house because: 1) Sales manager was very knowledgeable & had detailed information about when and where the sun would hit my roof 2) Darren patiently answered all my questions as we discussed various options over a couple of weeks of emails and phone calls 3) There was absolutely no sales pressure 4) DES does not use subcontractors ( apart from the scaffolding and roof repairs ) I had solar panels on my last house ( new build) so I knew a little bit about household solar energy. DES seemed to want to tailor the best system for my home & tactfully explained the pros & cons of various alternatives so I could think about it & make my own choices. I’ll update this review once the system has been fitted in a couple of months. Update :- DES have continued to help me sort out the problems with Octopus Energy moving me to the Flux Tariff. Once the system is correctly registered with Octopus, I will be moving to a different energy company. Octopus has taken 4 months to switch my account to a solar /battery tariff, & still has not completed the process ! DES supplied the correct with MSC certificate & SSE registration information, but Octopus insisted it was incorrect for 3 months…& then said it was correct !!!!

DES have just completed a solar and battery installation and I am more than happy with their work ethic.Helpful, professional and thorough. Jack and Spencer (electric)) and Brendon and Steve (roof) were all very helpful, knowledgable and polite. I highly recommend DES if you are considering an installation. Five stars, Well done.

Very good experience with DES Renewable Energy. They installed solar panels to a pitched roof on an end of terrace house with a solar battery as well for storage. Very good communication from the beginning. Project was completed on time and the installation team were great. I was able to ask questions as we went along eg location of battery installation. Very approachable and easy to communicate with. Very happy with the system installed - no issues at all.

I’m extremely pleased with the service provided by DES Renewable Energy Ltd, who recently installed a Solar PV and battery storage system at my property. From the outset, their communication was prompt, clear, and professional. They took the time to explain all the available options in detail and walked me through the entire installation process, which gave me real confidence in my decision. The onsite team were excellent: Stuart and Paul carried out the solar panel installation, while Jack and Spencer handled the electrical side. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, and very efficient. The whole installation was completed quickly, smoothly, and without any issues, taking just a day and a half. I’m very happy with the end result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend DES Renewable Energy Ltd to anyone considering solar and battery storage.

We had an excellent experience with DES Renewable Energy for the installation of our solar panel system, Tesla battery, and Powerwall 3. From the initial consultation through to securing DNO approval, the team was clear, professional, and highly responsive throughout. The installation itself was completely stress-free, and the system has been running flawlessly since July 2025. We’re extremely happy with both the performance and our decision to choose DES. Darren from DES created a bespoke SLD tailored to our installation, which was hugely appreciated. He was brilliant to work with, as were the wider team, the subcontracted scaffolders, and the electricians. I would happily recommend DES to anyone in the South of England looking for a reliable solar and battery installer.

Got our house setup with a very efficient solar system, very helpful and efficient company, definitely recommended.

Great company to deal with. Honest quote given and great workmanship. Dealt with all the paperwork too.

I’d like to leave a 5* review as the service we’ve had has been 1st class, from design to installation it has been great. We’ve used DES Renewables now for 4 jobs and everyone has been great, I’d like to say how brilliant Brenda has also been, she’s been efficient, always returns emails and enquiries so would 100% recommend this company if your thinking about installing any type of solar

I found this company after reviewing several. I felt they offered expertise and experience. They were not the cheapest but conversely not the most expensive either. During the install very slight damage occurred to my garden which once DES became aware of was rectified immediately. Also I had an initial problem with charging, DES sent a team and found the issue and made good straight away. I am very happy with my install and the after market support given.

DES were great, we had an initial meeting which was a couple of hours on an evening where they answered all of our questions. Once we decided to go with it, we had constant updates, and a contact all the way through. When it came to install, our electrician they provided happened to be sick on the day, but they kept us updated and got someone else within 2 days. They even gave me step by step instructions on how to work with the energy company to get the export up an running. Would definitely recommend.

Cannot fault the service from this company, from 1st contact with James who was super informative and very knowledgeable. Every step was made clear and simple. The electrician Jack and roofer Brandon turned up on time despite snow, ice and freezing temperatures, they got the install completed on time and were very polite, helpful and tidied everything up once completed. No hesitation in recommending this company.

Great company to work with - 100% recommed. From initial contact right through to installation and subsequent follow up, the team at DES Renewable Energy Ltd have been great. We got helpful and sensible advice regarding the type of set up we would need. The hardware and software system is great (and all seems to be working very well - we are generating even in December's overcast conditions). Order processing was efficient as was obtaining the necessary authority to generate. All staff at DES are friendly, knowledgable and helpful. The survey, scaffold erection and subsequent system install went smoothly - DES were very flexible in adjusting the instal date due to last-minute probelms we found with our roof. There are so many companies to choose from and it can be very daunting to know who and what is best - I am glad we went with DES and would thoroughly recommend.

12 solar panels were installed along with 2 batteries and inverter. The scaffold, installation of the panels, quite difficult wiring and installation of the controls and batteries were all carried out in a professional manner and all staff were most pleasant

Completed the install last week for dual aspect solar panels and PW3, from start to finish the service was professional with quick feedback and answering the many questions I had. Thanks to Darren at the quote and planning stage, Brenda for the bookings and co-ordination, Jack and Spencer the electricians, and finally Stuart and Paul the roofers for the install. Smooth from start to finish.

Brilliant company to work with. Set us up with the system that worked best for us. Brilliant communication, always able to speak to someone in person with any queries. Installation was kept clean & tidy & they cleaned up after themselves

DES supplied a Solar Battery, all dealings and communications were 1st class, I trust them and would recommend them for this service.

Super helpful talking me through the options beforehand. Accommodated a last minute delay to my roofing work by rebooking and installed everything when they said they would. Can't fault them. The system is working nicely and making a decent dent in my bills even in winter.

Jason and the team at DES installed a new Victron system for me. They worked very hard ahead of time to design a well balanced 9kw system and the prep work paid off with an incredibly smooth 2 day install. The on site crew were professional at all times and made short work of a complicated install. A few minor niggles on the way through was inevitable but they were all resolved quickly and courteously. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. 1 year update: System still working very well and no issues. Very happy

DES energy were excellent from start to finish. And also installed an EV charger shortly after our solar installation too!

Having researched many Solar Companies, and also having 2 different companies visit my home, the only company that gave me confidence was DES Renewable Energy. From the initial consultation with Darren, to the final sign off with Jordan I felt I was in safe hands. Even with a few minor issues on the project ( one of which was beyond DES RENEWABLE ENERGY’s control….part from China) the team were great. I would have no problem recommending DES RENEWABLE ENERGY to family and friends.

DES were helpful and communicative throughout the quotation and design stage. The system choice fits perfectly with our needs and the price was very competitive against the market. Couumincation continued to be good leading up to, and following installation. Install itself went smoothly, with roof works completed in a morning and a couple of days for the excellent electrician (Rob) to connect everything up. Rob's install included setting us up on the GivEnergy portal. Great experience overall and have already recommended to others.

Excellent support, know their stuff, really pleased

A good experience from this company from the initial proposal through installation to final sign off. At all times they kept me in the loop and provided all the information that I needed. The system has been working for many months and providing power and additional revenue from power sold back via the grid. Great installation and service 5 star.

DES have transformed how we now view our electricity usage. The whole process from quotation to installation and beyond went according to plan. We were kept up to date on the progress and the installation which was faster and much simpler than we imagined. The scaffolders, the solar panel installers and the electrician were all very proffesional and polite. It has taken me a few year to convince my husband to get solar panels and now we don't look back, thank you DES

The team were very professional throughout our installation process, guiding me from initial system design all the way to the final commissioning. We're very pleased with the results.

A Good Experience The installation was carried out very professionally and exactly to my requirements by DES personnel both on-site and in the office who were responsive and pleasant at all times. The system installed by DES that I have, has performed correctly from the outset and I have the comfort of knowing that should any problems or queries arise in the future DES will be there to advise. I can highly recommend DES to anybody who is considering installing a solar PV system.

The service and support I received from DES Renewable was second to none. From my original enquiry to the final installation they helped me all the way. When I first started to look into solar power i spoke to a number of companies, in most instances, apart from DES, I was dealt with buy a call centre, then all i had were phone calls trying to push me into their system, most times there was an additional discount if I signed up there and then, very pushy. DES never tried to push me into a deal, they answered all my questions, provided professional advise. The survey, installation team and office team were very good.

DES Renewables gave me great service at a fantastic price, installing my home battery easily and guiding me through both the technical and administrative side of things. The installation was high quality and even the small little niggles I had were no problem, they came back promptly and exceeded my expectations. The system is now installed and saving me money, working seamlessly; thank you DES Renewables

DES were outstanding from first contact to completion of my installation. The initial discussions and design phase were interactive and addressed our needs completely. The proposal was thorough and the level of detail at a level the other providers were approached didn’t match. The whole process was managed effectively by DES and I always felt reassured and informed that I could talk directly to people directly responsible for their part in the project. Installation was much quicker than anticipated and the finished product is exactly as we hoped. All legal certificates and approvals were received together in a single document and after service care offered. Delighted were chose DES for our solar and battery installation and were highly recommend them.

Excellent service and flawless system performance! I had a fantastic experience working with DES Renewable Energy on the installation of our solar panel system with Tesla Powerwall 3 and EV charger. From the initial consultation to handling the DNO approval, their team was clear, professional, and responsive. Although the original plan was for a later install, DES managed to bring the installation forward — which was a very welcome surprise. The system has now been running flawlessly for 5 months, and I’m very pleased with the overall performance and the choice to go with DES. Special thanks to Brenda, Darren, and the wider team for their support and flexibility. I would gladly recommend DES to anyone looking for a reliable solar and battery solution in the South of England.

I would highly recommend DES Renewables for solar panels. They were very informative in explaining how all the installation process would be. If there was a delay they always called at 9am and informed me to save waiting all day. If I needed to talk to someone it was not a problem and the workmen left everything clean and tidy.

Brilliant and really good, really good and knew exactly what they were doing.

One year on from our very professional and stress-free installation of twelve solar panels and 5.6kw battery, we have been very pleased with the significant reduction of our energy bills. We have already recommended DES Energy to one of our neighbours without any hesitation.

DES installed our solar panels & batteries. The whole process from getting the initial quote, then having the survey done and finally getting everything installed was very efficiently and speedily undertaken. The workmen were extremely pleasant and quick when carrying out the installation and left everything clean and tidy. Two days had been anticipated, but they extended their work day to finish everything in one day. We were very satisfied. The satisfaction continues - in April (in addition to standing charges) our electricity bill was only £1.56 and this month it was merely £0.78. We are extremely happy with the results! We can highly recommend DES.

I had solar panels and a Tesla Powerwall installed by DES Renewable Energy and couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. From the first visit through to installation and setup, the team were professional, efficient, and really knew their stuff. The installation was neat and completed on schedule, and the system has been performing brilliantly — producing more energy than I expected. The Tesla app makes it easy to see exactly what’s being generated and stored. What really stands out is the ongoing support from DES Renewable Energy. They’ve been quick to answer any questions and genuinely care about making sure everything runs smoothly. Highly recommended for anyone thinking about solar panels or a home battery system — great people, excellent workmanship, and a company you can trust.

Excellent communication by phone, online and in person. Good, honest advice. Excellent handover from sales to operation. Good expertise on install. Now three years in and getting great results (money/power) and impressed nods from other trades people.

Excellent service, honest and reliable company. Highly recommended

Fantastic service from start to finish. All the team were helpful and knowledgeable. System provided is doing a fantastic job. Thank you DES.

Very efficient installation, with all points covered. Hooked in to my electricity supplier, so readings go straight to them, and credited to me quarterly

Fantastic. Right from the start, Oliver was open and honest about the process of getting solar panels and honest about the potential financial implications. By that, I mean, he said it might not be cost effective. Therefore, he showed us projected energy income/outcome and we were then able to make an informed decision. We’ve had them about 6 months now and my bills are less than they were when I include the loan payments for the panels. The only minor negative, out of DES hands, would be the third party scaffold company who made a right mess of our garden and kept changing the date. Other than that, I’d wholeheartedly recommend going with DES renewables if you are considering solar.

It's early days but I have to say I am unsure why I didn't do this many years ago... Oh yeah because of cost. DES have transformed how I view electricity usage. Fact based evidence supplied by the team at DES convinced me to invest for the future. Process to get the panels and battery went smoothly with always being kept up to date on progress and the installation was faster and simpler than I imagined. The roofers and electricians both very professional and pleasant people. Mustn't forget the scaffolders, local crew not sure from where, but very efficient. Thank you to all the team at DES

Fantastic service from start to finish. I would definitely recommend DES. Really helpful and supportive explaining the different systems clearly. No pressure to buy either. Fantastic post installation support also. Staff really go out of their way to ensure the system functions as it should. Really happy with the system and paid almost nothing for electricity since installation (except the standing charge)

Excellent work there did. Everything that was discuss even running cables in the loft space instead of running on the outside walls.

DES Renewable Energy are excellent. They came out to quote, did diligent checks to make sure they provided the best system for us, and took the time to explain everything after installation. They're large enough to provide a great service, but also small enough to care and look after the customer properly. First class staff, from the office to the engineer, they're helpful and knowledgeable. Don't waste time looking for another energy company - use DES Renewable Energy. You won't regret it.

DES renewables just fitted our solar panels. What a great company. Brilliant professional friendly staff, fantastic pre sale service and not a hint of hard sell. Any questions raised were answered very promptly. Clearly set out proposal for what was being done and individually priced with staged payments. Superb value for money and we are already benefiting from the sunshine reducing our electricity bill.

Great communication and description of product. Quick installation by friendly tradespeople.

Richard at DES was happy to spend time answering our technical questions and he was really knowledgeable. Brenda and Fabiana in the office were efficient and also very helpful. The installation team and scaffolders were good too. We had a slight delay getting our paperwork and suffered a technical problem early on but everything was resolved quickly. We would definitely recommend DES.

5-Star Review for DES Renewables We recently had solar panels and a battery system installed by DES Renewables, and the entire experience has been excellent from start to finish. From the initial consultation, the team was informative, patient, and honest — no pushy sales tactics, just straightforward advice tailored to our needs. They took the time to explain the different options and helped us make informed choices about the panel layout, inverter, and battery system. Communication was clear and consistent throughout the process. The installation team was punctual, professional, and respectful of our property. They worked efficiently and left everything tidy at the end of each day. It was also reassuring to see that safety and quality were clearly priorities for them — they clearly know what they’re doing. Post-installation support has also been strong. Any questions we had about monitoring, system optimisation, or tariffs were answered quickly and thoroughly. We really appreciate the follow-up service and sense that DES genuinely cares about long-term performance and customer satisfaction, not just the install. What makes DES stand out is their combination of technical knowledge, friendly service, and a real commitment to getting things right. We’re now generating clean energy, saving on bills, and feeling confident that we made the right choice. Highly recommended to anyone considering sola

Extremely professional, knowledgeable and reliable company who installed solar panels for us in January 2024. Highly recommend this company

In a word excellent. They arrived at the appointed time, did a very neat job and the staff were very friendly and polite. The aftersales care has also been marvellous. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

I used DES to install PVs because they're the most professional pre-sale. They were not the cheapest but they offered the best specification and the installation was faultless. My only grip was that I ended up with 11 panels rather than 12 but compensation was immediately forthcoming. Highly recommended

Right from the outset, I received excellent advice from their knowledgeable representatives and the works were carried out using good quality materials and good building practise by all concerned with no issues at all. Everything from the erecting of the scaffolding right through to its' removal went like clockwork. Everyone of the contractors was friendly helpful and courteous. Well done. If you are interested in Solar panels I strongly recommend you contact DES Renewable Energy for advice and a quote.

Excellent service from start to finish. We purposely looked for a company that had a good reputation to start with and as DES had completely numerous school, council buildings and other large projects went with them - everything ran on time and were kept up to date from ordering to delivery and install. We’ve had our system nearly 18 months now and even when a breaker switch was playing up DES were on site within 24hrs and replaced foc. Would recommend and would certainly use again.

Professional and reliable

Des installed 12 solar panels a battery and EV charger for me in 2024. Very pleased with the process from sales advisor to install. I consider them a trusted contractor and happy to recommend

Really, really, really impressed with DES right from the start. I made an appointment with Oliver who came out to visit me and discuss in detail the benefits of solar panels for my home. He shared with me projected costs and savings for my property going forward using my previous energy data. He explained the installation process clearly and, once I'd signed up, it was exactly as he described. I have to say every employee and representative of the company has been first rate. Oliver visited again after the installation and went through everything I needed to know in terms of exporting energy to the grid and tariff options. I'd have no hesitation in recommending DES Renewable Energy to anyone considering the installation of solar panels.

Staff were punctual, reliable, informative and tidy

Solar panels fitted. Good communications, workmanship and completely satisfactoy outcome.

Great service from design, installation and configuration. Excellent after sales service. Would thoroughly recommend.

Professional, informed, reliable service from start to end. Knowledgable and conducted a detailed review of our needs and site potential before making any recommendation. Would definitely recommend.

DES were fantastic in my solar installation, very happy with the guidance, fitting and after care. Looking to use them again in future for other services.

Excellent professional consultation to provide me with the system to meet my needs at a competitive price. The installation went very smoothly and has worked flawlessly since. Highly recommended.

From the initial enquiry to the bespoke quote and after giving authorisation to proceed the survey was professionally carried out . The installation of the battery ,inverter and panels on the roof was carried out within two days and any mess all cleaned up. The property was left as they found it perfectly clean. Everything explained clearly and was always available for questions. Very pleased with the whole experience. Would recommend to anyone. Regards Paul.

I have to compliment the service I have received when DES installed Solar Power to my property. My 3-storey property only has electricity for power which means that heating is expensive when powered solely from the grid. The DES Sales Team understood the complexity of the issues faced and made a proposal to maximise the impact Solar could make to my bills. The survey engineer made no changes to this proposal as it was a good solution. All in all, these guys should be contacted when considering Solar Installations.

Supply & Fit Solar Panels I found DES to be a good company to deal with from start to finish. The quote process was very easy. They use satellite imaging to locate your house followed by a telephone call to discuss options and your requirements. No sales pressure whatsoever. Competitive pricing. All administration carried out by them efficiently. After Network approval, installation scheduled promptly. Installation and commissioning completed over three days. All staff very friendly, polite and efficient throughout. Kept me informed, easy to communicate with and did what they say they would. Would definitely recommend.

We bought a house in Weymouth with a view to completely remodelling it. As part of that process we decided to have solar panels installed. From the word go DES were great. They explained all of our options to us and, once we decided what we wanted, everything that was going to happen was made very clear to us. We finished up with solar panels and a storage battery. They fitted the installation in around what was happening with our builders and changed the schedule where necessary when there were the inevitable delays with the builders on a project of this size. Now we have moved in we like the fact that we are doing something good for the environment and very much appreciate the money we are saving on our bills. For a lot of the summer we are not only not buying any electricity but we are actually making a small amount by selling any excess we generate back to the energy providers. The aftersales service from DES has also been great. Any issues or queries we have had have been dealt with quickly and totally to our satisfaction. I would definitely recommend them to anybody looking to install solar power.

DES recently fitted us a 5kw solar system with 20kw battery storage and a Zappi car charger. DES were brilliant from the word go with our requirements- a complicated roof configuration, and a specific budget in mind. Ahmed provided multiple iterations of the quote to show us different illustrations and how to make it work best for us. Once we had agreed on the system, and paid our deposit, the necessary steps were fulfilled quickly and easily and we promptly received the scaffolding and fitting date. The roofers and the electrician Jack were brilliant, their work was so neat and precise and they completed on time with the system being commissioned with no issues. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend DES to anyone wanting a solar solution!

DES have been a Gold Star Company from start to finish. Not only was their pre Sales Technical advice clear and concise, but the installation process worked like clockwork. The Office Staff kept us informed every step of the way. Every member of the team has given us 100% of their time and effort. The system (EV charger, Storage Batteries, Inverter and Solar panels) that they have installed are working incredibly well. We cannot recommend DES highly enough.Theyare more than a 5 Gold Star Company.

DES have just completed a successful solar installation for our house with 14 panels plus batteries. Everything has gone very smoothly and everyone we have dealt with at DES has been helpful and friendly. We’re delighted with the result and would definitely recommend DES to anyone planning a similar project.

I had solar panels fitted two years ago by DES. From initial contact to completion the various persons I communicated with in the company were totally professional extremely helpful and willing to go the extra mile to ensure their customer was completely satisfied. The panels have been a great success and certainly doing what they are meant to do. Recently I had a new router fitted for my computer.I am 90 years of age and not too happy working with modern technology and after several attempts at matching router and inverter I called DES. Matt who answered my call could not have been more polite and sympathetic to this elderly man requesting help. With loads of patience and repeated instructions Matt got the message through! THANK YOU MATT and all the team at DES. Excellent customer service still exists in the world today!!

DES Renewable Energy Ltd The company's provision and installation of Solar panels and associated equipment was very good. The design and fitting team were punctual, conscientious and efficient. We are very pleased with end result.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend DES Renewable Energy. I found them to be extremely professional and knowledgeable right from the initial consultation through to post-installation advice. They were clear about every step of the process and the installation went ahead on schedule without any issues. Communication was excellent. The on-site electrician was also brilliant and made sure we understood how everything, including the app, worked. We have been very happy with our solar panels and batteries and the system performance has exceeded our expectations.

Great company to work with to get our solar panels and battery installed. On site survey to check all the electrics and the roof. Electrician took 2 days to do the installation, roofers 1 day to install the panels. Really tidy work, really pleased.

From the start I was very impressed with DES Renewables. Initially we were presented with a range of design options with slightly different costs, benefits and payback times. Communication throughout was excellent, honest and clear. Survey and installation were smooth, neat and tidy and we were kept informed along the way. Highly recommended.

Solar Panel and batteries fitted without fuss and working well.

Well designed and well fitted

Quality solar panel and battery installation from start to finish. Would definitely recommend. Great customer support. 10/10

Had a solar battery fitted and pigeon guard around previously installed panels. communication from start to finish was excellent. All documentation required dealt with by DES and provided as a pack. Managed to keep existing FIT set up they way they fitted it. Shown how to operate the FoX app. Pigeon guard was fitted well and as scaffolding was in place for a few weeks previous to the install I was able to repoint the back wall and clear out the gutter. Would definitely recommend them.

DES kept us well informed throughout the process and were able to accommodate our request for an extended period of scaffolding to allow some separate roofing work to be carried out at the same time. Always quick to respond to emails and we had a very clear and informative handover of the system explaining the app and next steps we needed for our import and export tariffs. Would recommend.

Very impressed with the quality of my installation. Richard from the sales team was able to answer all my questions regarding different potential systems before placing the order. The survey and installation was carried out as planned with no issues and the system is performing as predicted. The only minor issue I experienced was that I had to chase up the office a few times to confirm that they had received my interim payments. Maybe an automatic confirmation email would help in future. Otherwise a very satisfactory installation.

I am very pleased my installation in wareham.The standard of work was very good.The whole team worked together well.My neighbours have shown a lot of interest.

Fantastic from start to finish. DES were the only company to truly understand my needs and requirements, which is some statement considering I had nine quotes I was juggling. From the quote/design stage through to installation they went out of their way to make sure that what I got was what I needed. I couldn’t be happier with their work.

Wonderful service from start to finish...I was always kept undated on date to start...installers were brilliant..very professional...and aftercare has been great. I thoroughly recommend.

From start to finish, the guys at DES Renewable Energy were straight shooting. They are extremely knowledgeable and never tried to upsell, they tailor to what is best to your needs and requirements which is very appreciated! Installers were quick, effective and friendly Would recommend these guys if you are interested in getting solar

From the time that we obtained a proposal from DES we found them helpful and informative . We were new to solar panels and they invited us to there office where we were shown what was involved. The installation went smoothly and all the staff that we came into contact with were friendly and considerate.

DES what an amazing company to deal with had them out at very short notice installed professionally and clean work very correspondent I'd rate more than a 5* if I could do! Thanks so much! Regards Mr Peach

I found DES very professional from the start and glad we chose a local company rather than one of the many nationals. We were kept informed although we did experience some delays due to the weather. On completion we did have an issue with the inverter but DES worked to resolve this to our satisfaction including replacement of the Inverter. Special thank to Matt from Technical support who worked hard to resolve our issues and the system is now working perfectly and export is setup ready for sunnier weather!

The process we went through to get our solar panels was really good. We actually had them installed sooner than we had expected. The team kept us appraised all along the way. We have had lessons on how to use the system and are already seeing the benefits of making the switch to solar.

Brilliant communication and the installation teams (both the roofers and electrician) were very polite and professional. The work and the finished installation was very tidy.

Brilliant company to deal with & the installation was very professional

I have always been hesitant to use sales people that come to the door but I found DES not pushy at all and explained everything clearly. Team putting up scaffolding arrived on time as promised. The solar installation team likewise were on time and fitted everything in the timescales promised. The aftersales has been great with any questions I have had. This is new technology and a lot to understand but all my queries about the system have been answered. I would highly recommend them if you want great service and after sales.

DES were efficient, understanding and helpful. Their workmanship was to a high standard and their employees were all polite and thorough.

I had excellent service from DES Renewables Evergy. It was great from start to end. Reasonable prices. I was quoted double of what DES Renewables offered hence I chose to go with them for the Same or even better system. I would highly recommend them to you all. The quality of work has been top notch. Inverter and battery installed on the side of the house.

I had existing 4 kwh solar panels but no solar batteries. I recently bought a 10kwh hybrid car that qualified me for the off peak rate with Octopus energy for 7p per kwh.
This made having battery storage fitted a good idea to utilise this off peak rate.

I contacted several battery providers who were advertising on Facebook and Google and received quotes for 10 kWh solution’s for around £5k. A lot of these companies don’t install the systems themselves but farm the work out to 3rd party installers.

Fortunately I attended the Garden Show at Broadlands Romsey and was first attracted to DES Renewables stand by a sophisticated solar panel cleaning robot they had on display.

I left them my details and shortly after a technical salesman turned up. He left a very good impression with my wife and I. He was highly knowledgeable and was able to answer technical questions directly and confidently. He immediately sized up a system that pushed all the buttons for me - 20 kwh system with 15 years guarantee which would provide me with future proofed energy storage for running the car and all appliances in a 4 bed house for a fraction more than the other suppliers were charging for system’s half the size.

On this basis I went ahead with the system which was installed by their friendly and approachable engineers who did an excellent job in installing the system over a couple of days. DES Renewables are an electrical systems installation company with 20 years of experience with qualified electricians who have been trained to professional standards in solar installations with experience in solar farms as well as domestic installations. This all added to my confidence in the company.

I am now seeing a drastic reduction in electricity cost already having slashed my monthly direct debit from £152 per month to £45 per month which includes the standing charge.

I am very happy with the service I received from this company from initial technical sales consultancy through to system installation and can thoroughly recommend them.

Very professional approach through the whole process. From quote to survey to installation, all was very well managed, all queries responded to and a very pleasant installation team. All the equipment seems to be very good and for a competitive price.

A great company. We have had excellent advice and guidance on the installation of solar panels, batteries etc for our Church Centre. Excellent value for money and whole sy stem is working very well. They also advised on the installation of an EDDI system to allow the panels to feed power to the immersion heater.

The true test of how good a company is, is when things don't go according to plan. We had a very professional installation of our solar/battery project, which was preceded by great service from the sales and survey side, helping us to decide on the optimal configuration of our system. The scaffolders were very polite and efficient at put up and take down. The elctrician who installed the system was excellent and did a very neat job. After installation, there was an issue with the set up, meaning that things were not working properly, however, the technical team worked diligently to get it sorted out, even though it took another site visit and contact with the manufacturer to do so. All in all a very good service from a company I would definitely recommend.

A great experience with DES. Came to us through personal recommendation, and happy to recommend on to others. As non-experts we needed a company to take us through each step, DES were perfect at this. Richard took the time to talk through options after his initial design - and revision after the DNO balked first time round - made it easy for us to make a decision. From then on everything move more rapidly than we expected. Alex really helpful with advice when he came to survey, and scaffolders, roofers and electrician (Kaylum) were all thoroughly professional and a pleasure to have working at the house. Speedy follow up after completion with MCS and DNO letters arriving just over a week later, alongside a full set of instructions. All in all, great service and a very happy customer.

DES Renewable Energy guided us through the various options, design and installation smoothly and efficiently. We did have a few post installation tweaks which were addressed promptly and with care. A very professional and easy to deal with company.

13.07.2024 DES Services I recently used DES for my battery storage needs, and I am very pleased with their service. Here’s my experience: -The installation was quick and hassle-free. -They answered all my questions -They provided clear instructions on how to use the system. Overall, DES provided excellent service and a great product (battery is from GiveEnergy) Highly recommended!

Great no hassle and thoughtful sales process. Efficient installation

I selected DES after being let down by a previous large national solar installer. DES picked up the project suggested a different approach , completed the DNO G99 approval without needing to restart it and implemented a great ground mounted installation to integrate with my existing 2011 Solar setup. I now have my existing Fronius 5KW inverter + 6.5 KW panels, plus new 7.3kw panel ground array, Solis Inverter, Givenergy 3.5kw A/C coupled inverter and 2 x 9.5kw Givenergy Batteries. Plus a Givenergy car charger. To save money on the project we agreed I would do the ground work and lay the armoured cable to the "garage" where all the new kit and existing Kit would be housed. DES were very flexible as to the installation date as the weather was pretty awful and delayed some of the ground preparations. They did a very good job with the installation going above and beyond to ensure it was safe and a professional finish. The system works extremely well and allows me to monitor all of the solar, which is something I could not do on the old system. If you want a solid reliable company with excellent pre and post customer support. I cannot recommend DES enough. A+++

Top ratings to this company. Had our PV and storage system installed at the end of last week. Everything was well organised, professionally delivered (special thanks to both Jacks especially Jack B who did all the electrical works) and we have now been able to experience the satisfaction of taking no electricity from the grid from the moment it was finished. It is a very slick operation and with panel and battery prices on the way down it is becoming a good financial investment as well as an environmental one

DES have recently installed a large domestic PV solar and battery storage system for me. These are my thoughts. Once you start to make investigations, it doesn't take long to realise that choosing a company to plan and install a PV solar system is a potential minefield; the more you gain an understanding, the more you realise you don't know. If I was asked for advice it would be to educate yourself as much as possible regarding all things solar beforehand- YouTube is a fantastic resource, check out GARY DOES SOLAR- lots of no nonsense, impartial advice ranging from the very basic to more advanced topics. SOLAR AND BATTERY UK Facebook group is also a wealth of information. There're a lot of sales led companies out there, all keen to provide a basic PV solar set up, competitive price and fast turnaround, for some this is no doubt exactly what they are looking for. I wasn't. My project was always going to be a challenge, not necessarily from a technical perspective but more the requirement to co operate with other on-site trades, the co ordination of timescales, and working with a discerning, inquisitive client who sought perfection. DES met, and in some instances, exceeded my hopes and expectations. My personal experiences included: Initial and subsequent communication with all members of the company, whether by email or telephone, was superb - as were after sales enquiries. Questions were answered promptly, accurately and politely. When additional time was required to resolve an issue this was explained to me, a time frame indicated and an answer forthcoming. From initial planning to final installation the level of technical expertise was clearly visible and well executed, as was the willingness to advise and suggest alternative options and solutions when required. Co operation with other trades and myself was always forthcoming. There was a willingness to be mindful as to how other parties would react, be affected or influenced. Costs and payment terms were clearly indicated. The work was carried out to the agreed timescales and budget. Follow up paperwork and documentation arrived promptly thereafter. Thank you DES. Jonathan Rabone.

Really helpful and supportive company from the moment we first reached out to them to the moment everything was completed. We're delighted with the solar setup we have and feel like DES helped us come to the right setup for us

Excellent service all round, from the initial, scaffolding being erected, solar panels being fitted to the roof, to the electrician wiring the panels to the inverter, installing the battery and connecting everything together, everything went extremely well.

I chose DES Renewable Energy to fit 'in roof' solar panels while my roof was being repaired. They were not the cheapest quote but gave assurance that there would not be any 'unforeseen extra costs.' From beginning to end this company met all my requirements. A seamless experience for me and a company I will gladly endorse for their customer service and flexiblity to meet my needs.

I am very impressed with DES and how they coordinated all the processes. The quote was bang on and had all the time in the world to answer questions I had. Once the quote was accepted the surveyor date was agreed and the installation began - The date for the scaffolded (Monday) was agreed, followed with the solar panels fitted (Wednesday) and the electrician (Thursday & Friday). All done in a week. The scaffold was removed a week later. The system was up and running and producing free energy that day - reducing my cost to the energy provider immediately. I would highly recommend DES to you as a provider of equipment and installer. The office staff where very knowledgeable on all aspects of the installation and nothing was to much trouble even if the answer was not part of there remit. Very Happy Customer,

DES have been very helpful and professional. From the planning to the installation and after care. I can highly recommend them

I had a PV system and a battery installed recently. Had a good experience in all parts of the process, initial quotes and discussion (email and phone calls), to explaining the different terms and how they affect the setup, to the teams involved during installation. Really pleased with the setup. My house is small but they managed to squeeze everything in perfectly. Definitely consider them for your installation.

I have had a great experience with DES Renewable. All staff involved were very helpful and knowledgeable throughout the process and explained everything throughout.Would definitely recommend.

From my initial enquiries through to completion, the service provision, advice and professionalism has been outstanding. My design consultant built a genuine rapport with me, understood my vision and developed a system that has exceeded expectations. All for a very competitive price and excellent after sales service. The surveyor who visited my property prior to the install was very knowledgeable and flexible in accommodating the positioning of required components to compliment the overall aesthetic. The installers were also polite and professional and employed direct rather than sub-contracted. This was a big part in the decision process. The solar array looks better than I thought it would, has a great yield, even on these current January gloomy days and thanks to the installation of an iBoost, I'm getting solar heated water for free. The team also provided advice and guidance throughout the process which has given me the confidence to operate and take advantage of the system. I have been in contact post install with a few queries and feel genuinely respected. I can confidently say that DES have delivered an exceptional customer focussed experience and I would recommend their services to anyone interested in renewable energy systems. Special thanks to Darren, Nathan and the team.

The guys from DES are swift and very professional. They are also very friendly which helps when you are trying to understand what is best for you.

Excellent customer service and all the team were extremely helpful. Highly recommend. Very happy with our new solar pv. Thanks des

After a great deal of deliberation I decided to accept the quote from DES and have absolutely no regrets. The whole process was very professional - my queries and other issues were answered fully and promptly and even the scaffolder came to check one of the issues I had. The roofer fitted the panels on his own surprisingly quickly and the two electricians Reece and Jack did a superb job and reassured my wife about the working of the system. It has now been running for four weeks and during that time our electricity consumption from the grid has reduced to almost nil. The most complicated aspect was completing the online application to the energy supplier for our feed in of surplus power generated. DES gave me assistance with this and I would recommend them without reserve.

Excellent company with very helpful customer service

After receiving information and quotes from various solar panel providers we accepted DES Renewable Energy's competitive quote. They were very helpful in providing us with information when we needed it. A survey was completed giving us confidence in proceeding with the installation and in drawing our attention to other ways we could update our electrical equipment and reduce water heating costs. The wiring, batteries and inverter were installed with proper care and attention after we had discussed where they were to be be positioned. We took the electrician's sensible advice on where to place them. The solar panels were installed quickly despite the wet weather and the system was up and running well on time. All the DES employees were happy to seek our confirmation as to the placement of cabling etc and carried the work out professionally. Following the installation we have been able to use the phone app to track the details of how the panels are generating electricity and the level at which the battery storage rises and falls. This guides us on how to best use our electricity. We would happily recommend DES to others planning to install solar panels.

We are very pleased with our 15 panel and battery system. All the DES folks from planning through to installation and handover have been friendly, professional and so helpful. I am amazed at how much energy is produced, even on cloudy days. I can thoroughly recommend DES.

Really pleased with DES Renewable throughout the process of having solar PV and batteries installed. The sales team were very open and informative without any pressure. The surveyor was pragmatic and helpful - my roof has a few constraints so they did well to maximise the number of panels. The installers were prompt and very tidy. Overall a great experience, I have also bought more batteries through DES and that went smoothly as well.

Excellent team at DES. Helped me spec sort everything from the ground up to get the most out of my system. Really happy with the instal. Great attention to details. No complaints! Looking forward to seeing what it can do!

Really pleased with the work carried out. Everyone involved was professional and friendly.

We found this company very helpful and knowledgeable and able to answer all of our many questions about our solar installation. The fitters were polite, efficient & tidy throughout and made sure we understood the operation of our system before they left us. So far we are very pleased with our installation and our choice of DES Renewables to do this work for us.

DES Renewable Energy installed our solar panel system and we were impressed with their service and products. We also liked the fact that they are local and all their people (apart from scaffolders) are directly employed . We needed planning permission and they provided all the info they could apart from scale plans. All the team were professional, friendly and helpful. The completed install was nice and tidy and is working well.

The whole experience was very straight forward and carried out very professionally by all the participants.The work men were polite and carried out their work to a very high standard and the electricity fitter was extremely clean and tidy. Over all an excellent job.

From start to finish the install has been super stress free. We went to 3 companies and found DES to be the most informative with the best all round offer. We've been so impressed and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them (and solar panels in general).

Our solar panel installation was great from start to finish. Easy and stress free. All staff from the office workers to the actual installers were all polite and extremely helpful. The installation was done quickly and cleanly, especially the electrician who was working in the house, constantly cleaning up after themselves, you wouldn't have known they had been here, any small hiccup (more to do with our property than there installation) was dealt with quickly and professionally. After care has also been great, quick to reply to emails and only a phone call away to help with the technical side of working out the app etc. Cannot fault this company in any aspect of there work. Excellent company with excellent staff.

DES Renewables did a fantastic job. From talking me through the best solution and the whole process to getting it all set up on time. It's already working and making an impact. Thank you guys!

We had an excellent experience from start to finish. They were friendly, knowledgeable, patient and efficient - be that the office based staff, the pv installation engineers, the electricians or the Back up Technical engineer. An initial problem with the technology was quickly resolved by the Technical Engineer who came out late one evening to put things right. Everything has been working smoothly since and it's great to be finally generating our own energy having waited for years to be able to achieve this. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

An enjoyable experience every step of the way. There was no hard sell just a presentation of the facts and common sense answers to any questions. The scaffold team turned up on time, we’re very polite and friendly and the scaffolding was up in a morning and down a week later with no fuss. The roofers broke a tile but replaced it on the day and the electrician connected it all in a morning. There’s not a lot to write about really they did everything they said they would in an efficient and professional manner. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone thinking of having solar panels installed.

Excellent service, completed a very tidy install at my house and would highly recommend

Without doubt DES are an excellent company to deal with. From the first telephone call contact we had with them whilst trying to decide which companies to get quotes from to the final part of the installation everyone we interacted with were very professional and attentive to detail. Our initial thoughts were turned into reality with excellent design work and the installation teams both on the roof and inside on all the "electrics" continued to the highest of standards. The ops and support side of the organisation are also slick which when taken overall makes for a cracking company to deal with. If we were starting out again we'd have no hesitation in ordering another solar system from DES. Nice One Team!

A great, supportive company from start to finish and beyond. Everyone works well as a team: the reps, engineers, office staff, scaffolders, installers. Very happy with them, including the speed in which they ironed out a couple of problems. 1st class.

Excellent service from DES Renewable Energy. I was kept informed of progress, and the installation was timely, even though the roofer had to install panels in the pouring rain! DES have also helped me with the application to my energy supply company to enable selling power back to the grid. The price was exactly as stated, with no hidden extras. I'm very pleased with the service from DES Renewable Energy and have no hesitation in recommending the company.

Excellent company - we decided to have solar panels fitted in November 23. After doing much research, we decided to enquire with DES Renewable Energy. Following a very detailed quotation and explanations from Richard, there was no pressure on us as we then made our decision. We liked the fact they were a local firm and all the team worked for the company rather than outsourcing .There was great communication throughout, they were very quick to set up installation date, and the whole team were very friendly and helpful. The panels are working brilliantly, even in this winter sun, and we are monitoring them using a very user friendly app. All in all an excellent experience. We would highly recommend them.

DES were helpful and efficient from beginning to end of process. They answered all my queries speedily and were easy to contact. The installation was swift and efficient, all I lack now is sunshine.

Had a battery fitted, good experience all round. I was kept informed of what was going on and I can't fault the installers at all

Absolutely professional service and even came back on a Saturday to change a faults component, kept us informed all the time and nothing was to much trouble.

Really great experience, didn’t matter how many questions I had they were handle with consideration throughout the process. The fitters were brilliant as well, very friendly and most importantly neat and tidy. Couldn’t be happier

I had an initial phone call with Richard who explained everything I needed to know in an informative way without any sales pressure, which allowed me to choose the best system for me with a follow up site visit. The whole installation went very well as planned with only 1 ½ days to install 16 panels with an inverter and Battery. Very pleased with work and the system installed.

DES were a pleasure to deal with. From the first meeting with the DES adviser at our home, purchasing the solar panel system has been a pleasant and efficient experience. We have had a 14 panels and two battery system installed. DES always arrived as planned and worked while fitting in with our comings and goings. DES was very helpful and fitted an efficient system that we are delighted with.

Brilliant company to work with. Very attentive service by Cavin to deal with the initial questions I had with regards to a solar panel and battery system. No pressure at all with the sale. When it came to the job, the team were fantastic and left as though they hadn’t been there at all (they even cleared out my guttering for me!). All in, a first rate job and would definitely recommend.

DES have recently completed the installation of a solar panel and battery system for us. From the first conversation I was impressed with their level of knowledge and ability to offer flexible solutions, unlike other suppliers who just wanted to sell us a standard system. They were consistently helpful, communication was excellent and the installation professional. When an adjustment had to be made after installation it was swiftly completed. I would highly recommend DES.

Efficient. Good advice. Good technicians. Good after sales service. Prompt at answering phone calls. Have recommendaded them to others.

Good planner good price not so good after sales service but after some prompting the technical team sorted out my problem. Darren my planner alway went the extra mile to sort out any issues even responding to emails over the weekend. Overal my experience with DES was good.

Des renewables fitted solar panels for me they’re fast on time. They did a great job I would recommend them to anyone

DES were absolutely fantastic with my solar and battery installation. From sales, survey, installation and now technical support they've been spot on. I would say I have been a bit needy but they have been able to assist fully and explain things brilliantly. Well worth a quote if you haven't already had your installation.

We stumbled upon DES whilst researching installers of solar systems and they then made initial contact. After a call to establish what we were looking for and the type/layout of our property, two different systems were quoted for and, based on the information provided and the good reviews, we chose DES to install one of them comprising of 14 panels and a battery. Any queries that I had were answered quickly and a physical survey (after the initial Google Earth one) was arranged. This confirmed that all was well for the install and we discussed where to mount the invertor, battery etc with the surveyor. There then followed a gap when permissions etc were obtained etc. before we were given a fitting date. The dates were confirmed the week before and agreed. The scaffolders (sub-contracted) did not arrive when agreed and I contacted the DES office half way through the day. They got back promptly and gave a delay reason obtained from the scaffolders and arranged for them to arrive the next morning (Sat). The scaffolding was erected efficiently and the 'roofer' from DES arrived the following Tuesday to start the roof install. He managed to fit all of the framework for the panels but stated that it was too windy for him to fit the panels on his own so he, and a colleague, would return the next day to fit them. The following day the electrician arrived as planned but the roofer did not. The electrician established that the roofers were not in fact coming until the following day so he would do what he could and would also return the next day to finish off. On the third day the electrician arrived as planned but the roofers were absent until mid-afternoon (by which time the electrician had run out of jobs that he could do). The roofers spent a short amount of time fitting the solar panels and disappeared again to another job. The electrician was then able to finish off and carry out a system handover before leaving. Finally the scaffolders returned a couple of days later, a bit later in the day than expected, and took down the scaffolding. I am left with a neatly-installed and efficient solar set-up, as planned, that I am happy with and the process was relatively smooth. I am still awaiting the necessary paperwork to arrange a feed-in tariff from my supplier ( which I understand is delayed by the power supplier in my area) before it is fully commissioned. The office staff, Darren, Andy, Brenda etc., Surveyor, Alex, electrician, Matt, were all very helpful and efficient and the roofers worked hard and efficiently but the timekeeping/communication (possibly due to too much work taken on) could have been better. Taking the above into consideration I would recommend DES, although not the cheapest, for the general installation and products used.

Our neighbours used this company for their solar panel installation and were impressed by the company so we chose them as well. They came on the correct date, the panels were fitted even though it was raining. The electrical engineer did a very neat job. All working perfectly, would definitely recommend

Our solar panel and battery installation was completed two and a half months ago. We had previously been put off installing panels by sales force led companies. DES Renewables have provided an excellent service throughout. We met the company for the first time at a local show. The initial site visit to explain and sight the system, and to talk through the installation process, was calm and measured, with no attempt made to force us to commit. We received a detailed and informative proposal upon which to base our decision; the payment plan was simple and logical. Once we had accepted the quote, a further visit took place to sight the internal and external elements in detail. The scaffolders, roofer and electrician all attended as planned and were polite, efficient and tidy. Any questions we have had since the system was commissioned have been answered promptly and efficiently. My wife and I are very happy to recommend DES Renewables to those planning to install a solar energy system.

DES installed a solar panel/battery setup at our home. We can thoroughly recommend their professionalism.

DES Renewables were excellent throughout my Solar Panels purchasing experience. We had been considering Solar Panels for a while and DES made the purchase so easy. From the point of enquiry to the final points of installation they were incredibly helpful and efficient and made the process of buting very straight forward. I would recommend DES to anyone considering Solar Panels.

Great service, no fuss, very happy with our new solar solution, would happily recommend them.

The whole experience from the Sales / Quotation discussions to the Installation, was well informed throughout and installed by a professional, polite and clean working team of roofers and electrician. The Sales team patiently went through several options of capacity, make, storage capability before I settled on an installation larger than initially suggested. The installation team were efficient and worked hard despite the heat of the day and both the roofers and electrician finished well within the allotted time suggested.

Excellent experience using DES Renewables. Plenty of info back and forth before deciding. The time scale they provided was kept too. Neat tidy job. Knowledgeable fitters . Happy to recommend.

Very helpful and resourceful team. Good quality products and install teams very helpful and considerate.

From start to finish, there was good communication, excellent choice of quality solar equipment, detailed planning and professional service. Everything was handled by the company and nothing outsourced, all inhouse which gives peace of mind with one point of reference. The fitters and electrician were excellent with everything explained so you could understand. We went for the battery storage option which is fantastic because since we completed three weeks ago we have paid no electricity (apart from standing charge) as overnight the battery feeds the electricity into the house and as long as you get good daylight, sun not always required, the batteries charge up extremely well , even on a dull day. The technology in the new panels is excellent. Certainly consider the size of the battery you think you want and discuss it with the team at DES. I would highly recommend DES for solar panel installation, everything was super smooth.

DES have been very helpful in choosing the best system for our bungalow. We went for an in roof system which looks really smart. The installation went well with the guys doing a good quality job on the roof and inverter/battery system and offered good advice. When we had a couple of issues the service team were quick to respond.

My panels were fitted quickly and professionally. A good neat job. Installers were polite and knowledgeable. Very pleased

I contacted DES off the back of a social media advert for solar panels. I’ve thought about installing them for years, but always talked myself out of it as a 15 year+ wait for ROI never stacked up. However, costs have risen significantly so I reviewed the impact of solar. Andy from DES was super professional, timely and listened to our needs and set up. He produced a proposal which walked us through our current position, a projected 20 year journey through typical energy price rises & then the rollout of a solar system, and how that would influence our future bills. It was brilliant. Obviously you expect during sales for the company to show how amazing the system is and how much money you’ll make but what I liked the most was the realistic figures used. He took in to account Solar wastage (export), different production levels throughout the seasons, and the fact we’d be operating without a battery. We decided now is the time to commit. We are in our forever home & our roof space is substantial. We went for a 21 panel system, bringing us 8.5kwh energy making possibility. The surveyor came out and measure everything up & checked for any barriers or potential problems. In the interim, Andy took care of applying for our DNO. A few months later we had all of the approvals, scaffold went up and work began. The solar panel installer Brandon, was brilliant. Hard working young guy, professional, and did a great job. Following the panel install was the electrician, who was also fantastic. We had great rapport, quick set up to make the panels go live and a nice handover including access to an app that lets you see what you’re generating at any given time. After paying our final bill we started to receive our certification, which is what you need to get access to export guarantee which enable you to get paid for what you export. Throughout, communication has been top class, problems solved, and I never felt as if I was asking for too much. If you’re considering solar, I would 100% recommend speaking with DES. Fantastic company, great people and you’ll be well looked after.

From my initial door-step discussion, thru planning and system selection, post-install questions, and acquiring the necessary documents for our SEG application, the DES Renewables team have provided expert, unbiased and quick responses through every step of our installation journey. Scaffolding was put up and removed in a timely fashion, the panel installers were polite, efficient and ensured the site was clean and tidy before leaving. Additionally, even though located on the front roof aspect, the panels blend in well with the house and against neighbouring properties. The Sunsynk electrical plant is located in the garage, and all external and inter-connecting cabling has been fitted with care, and sympathetic to the external and internal aesthetics of the house. The electrician also took time to ensure that we understood what was being installed, where, and why, and that our preferred install options were taken into consideration where appropriate. The complexity of the install should not be underestimated, and the electrician remained on-site until well past normal finish time on both days to ensure that the system was fully installed and working as expected, and that we had installed, activated, and understood the workings of the physical components and the Sunsynk monitoring app before leaving site. A software/battery anomaly was identified during the first nights operation, and the electrician investigated and went out of his way to return to amend the Inverter settings the following morning to resolve. Although the plant has only been operative for the last month, the benefits and efficiencies of the system are working probably better than expected, and battery storage should be considered a must to maximise the solar generation and related financial benefits. In summary, the whole experience from sales to install completion has been a smooth and competent experience. DES offer a competitive price for the size of the system installed (12× 450w panels, Sunsynk 5kw Inverter, 2x Sunsynk 5.1kw batteries), with several configuration alternatives proposed, and no pressure to purchase. Based on our install experience, we would be happy to recommend DES as a supplier of choice to anyone considering a solar install within their supported area.

We had a great Experience with DES from the start to end and this goes without saying that DARREN the designing engineer was always available to assist through out the entire process. Great response from this company at all times approached. They listen and Deliver A+++

We were really impressed with our whole experience from start to finish in our dealings with DES Renewable. There were no hard sales techniques and the whole quotation process was very easy. My queries were answered in full and there was no pressure to complete, we were given the time and space to think things over before we committed. I found pricing was competitive. All the administration was carried out by DES and after Network approval, installation scheduled promptly. I was particularly pleased to see that all the work was carried out by their own staff and not sub-contracted out to different people. All their staff were very friendly, polite, and kept us informed throughout. If only all companies were as easy to deal with! We would not hesitate to recommend DES Renewable.

Recently had a solar and battery system installed. Happy with the service I received.

After obtaining several quotes from various companies, I dealt with James from DES who gave me a completely different option to any of the other quotes, it suited our needs better than any of the other companies options, the quote was a little more expensive, but I ended up having 14 450 watt Eurener panels and 9.5kw battery. Other companies seemed to want to do the standard 10 panels and a small battery, this wouldn't have worked for our needs. Installation was on time and very neat, the installation team explained everything. The after sales was fantastic, all my paperwork came through quickly and they helped me select the right tariff with my energy provider. I would recommend this company whole heartedly.

The installation of my solar panels went very smoothly.

Everyone at DES was so helpful throughout the installation and sorted out any problems promptly. The fitter and electrician were great and I will recommend them to others.

Had a Solar panel installation complete with Inverter, eco boost and battery supplied and fitted by this business. Brilliant installation team 👍

Good service, professional and helpful team

Replaced and installed new consumer unit. Excellent workmanship . Highly recommended. Fitted 10 Solar panels, battery and inverter. Very neat installation, technician had time to explain things in simple terms. Company let us well informed throughout the install. Very pleased , happy customer

Everyone at DES was very helpful at every stage of the process. When undertaking a project like this you naturally have lots of questions and they were all answered patiently. The project design changed a few times due to space constraints and the team redesigned the options accordingly. All of the staff on site were very pleasant and we are very pleased with the installed system.

Overall it has been a good experience dealing with DES to have my solar panels and batteries fitted. I liked the way this company retain/pay their own staff and do not subcontract any of the work except the scaffolding. They are probably not the cheapest company out there but you get what you pay for in my opinion. There were a few hitches along the way but they were overcome and dealt with in a quick, helpful and positive way. The initial design stage was very good and Darren provided very quick and comprehensive replies to my questions and responded positively to my requirements. Josh the roofer and Mat the electrician both did an excellent job. They were both very helpful and went out their way to find solutions and rectify the problems encountered. One of the panels had to be replaced due to a manufacturing fault which was done quickly and with a minimum of fuss. A minor negative point was the batteries supplied were not the ones specified in the design and hence not the ones I was expecting. This was because the original batteries were not available but no one informed me that different batteries were going to be fitted. The office based staff have also been good in responding to my queries. I have received all the necessary paperwork & certificates. The whole process from start to finish took just over a couple of months and was well organised. At the end of the day I have been left with a good, well installed solar system for a reasonable price. I would certainly recommend this company.

12 solar panels up & working with in 5 days. Very professional.Helped us connect to our supplier,an app on phone so you see them charging,up & running.Local office in ferndown industrial estate.Des solar panels. Very helpful staff. Highly recommend.Quality,value, professional

Excellent service and very professional. I would highly recommend them. They are very transparent and explained all aspects clearly.

Solar Panels and battery storage system

Professional timely service. Very helpful

Local solar system installation

We chose DES Renewable Energy Ltd to install our solar panels plus battery and solar iboost, as they were recommended to us. We received great service from start to finish. All the team were professional, friendly, polite and tidy workers. We had a couple of aftersales queries which were dealt with promptly. We would not hesitate to recommend DES.

DES offered us a system tailored to our needs, at a lower price than competitors and faultlessly coordinated and executed. I am really happy with our PV set-up and will use them in the future for any further work.

Very professional and friendly company who delivered and installed our new solar panel system with excellent communication. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for solar panel installations.

Solar Installation with Battery. All work was carried out on time with due care and attention. Had to make a couple of spur of the moment decisions so lesson learnt make sure you ask lots of questions about the routes they are going to use to do all the wiring to the fuse box and the need for ethernet connections. Suggestion: ask to see the plan of work and confirm its possible when the survey is done. Assumption made was that there was crawl space all the way round the roof to the fuse box and this was not the case. I liked the fact that the scaffolding went up a week before enabling me to clear all the gutters and the flat roof. Turnaround on the paperwork on completion also quick so one is able to start the process of gaining funds for excess electricity. Overall a good job and well organised. Thank You

I chose DES renewable Energy Ltd. for a SOLAR PV and battery instalation after contracting with another company (Daylight Energy Ltd.) and waiting for 6 months only for the company to go bust and disappear before installation. The Surveyor Andy was most professional and very attentive he would call me periodically to offer help and advice which was top notch, he was honest and wasn't pushy, he called when he said he would and if he didn't know the answer he would find out and come back to me, I really felt valued as a potential customer. Andy even called me after the install to check how things went, he is a credit to the company. Dealing with Andy and DES was a breathe of fresh air as they made good my experience with a solar PV and battery installation, the first appointment was kept and there were no issues on the days of installation apart from a delay with the scaffolding but this didn't have too much impact on the install as it was still completed in time. Luis the electrician was very knowledgeable and did a quality job as did Matt the roofer who spent the time to go around and clean the panels thoroughly after install. After having such a good experience this time round with DES I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them as I have done with two of my neighbours have shown an interest in the install and I have strongly recommended DES to them for a no hassle, quality experience and install.

11 solar panels fitted including battery storage and invertor. Professional process from design to installation. Pleasure to deal with everyone at DES. No hard sell. Discussed system design options available and customised for our property and energy usage. Competitively priced. Always available to answer any questions. Neat and tidy installation. Great to be powered by solar now and even feeding back to the grid for further reward. We would definitely recommend this company.

I had a full house solar panel, battery, inverter and emergency power switch system fitted by DES Renewables. They were professional, did what they said they would do, turned up on time and I'm very pleased with the end result. I would definitely use them again.

We had two installations of solar panels and batteries, and couldn’t be happier. Communication is great which is one of the big factors I consider when using companies. They also have a good company history within the electrical industry which also aided my decision. They answered any questions we had, and the installations when very smoothly. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for solar panel installation or any other electrical installations.

We had solar panels fitted by this company and were pleased all the way along the process. Very professional company and quick too.

I contacted DES Renewable Energy Ltd as I wanted advice about the possible installation of a Solar Panel and Battery system for my property. They provided a first class service in providing me with different option to consider. I decided to proceed with the installation of 25 panel 10KW system with 13KW battery storage. Everything happened as and when it was supposed to and the installation and Workmen/Electricians were all very professional and curious. I can't believe how well the installation has gone and I am now probably self sufficient in electricity. Time will tell. When writing this it's April 2023 and I am generating anything between 15KW and 40KW a day which this month has averaged or 25KW per day. Plenty enough to run the house and by plug-in hybrid car 13KW a day. I would highly recommend DES Renewables if you are considering installing Solar Panels and or Battery storage.

Fantastic service. Solar Panels plus battery. Very professional company and competitively priced. Would recommend to anyone

The solar array installation was done to a high standard. Although there were problems, these were rectified as soon as possible and at no extra cost to me. The only (slight) issue was a lack of communication regarding when the engineers (etc.) would be arriving etc.

Responsive and positive action to offer plan for Solar PV installation. Fixing and supplying energy in two days and scaffold, etc. (separate company) in and out in a week thus all round minimal disturbance for desired effect.

DES installed our solar panels. They are an excellent company, very professional and great communication. Very efficient with our panels being installed within a few months of initial enquiry. They even sourced the exact panels that I wanted. Very happy with the system which is saving us a fortune in electric bills. Really impressed with this company.

Great service from quotation through to installation with good communication along the way

I decided that we would install solar energy. After a lot of research I narrowed my selection to 3 companies. The only one that impressed me was DES. The initial telephone conversation discussed my requirements. I felt the consultant listened to me, and at no point was I sold anything. The design was totally tailored to our needs. A surveyor called within the week, if I recall correctly. Again, the surveyor listened to me, and we discussed were best to site the equipment. Time schedules were stuck too. The scaffolding went up on the Friday, before the installation was due to take place on the Monday. The scaffolding chaps were great too. The panels went up with no issue. The solar equipment installed. Really professional chaps from start to end. There were a few teething issues, which had I not picked up on, I think may have gone on undetected. This was due to the ‘eddi’. The eddi kicks in once the battery has been fully charged, to heat the hot water tank. It had not been set up correctly. However, DES were great, and all has been resolved to my complete satisfaction. I feel this is an honest company that believes in, and values its customers. I have no hesitation in recommending DES.

Solar panel installation

I contracted DES to install solar panels and battery with I boost in December 2022 (cheapest of three quotes). Got a call to say they would install early February 2023. The whole process was explained to me. Everything went to plan as agreed. The surveyor was polite and very informative. The team that installed the system were polite, very tidy and worked like trojans. The system is all up and running and I can see the savings already. My thanks go to the whole team and DES for making the whole process go so smoothly, and would highly recommend them for the whole process and installation.

solar panels

Solar panel and associated electrics fitting.

I had a full Solar Panel Instillation DES were very helpful from the start. They explained every fully. The work was carried out on the day that they quoted and worked with me when I wanted a part of the instillation changed to a different inverter to take batteries. I recommend DES Renewable Energy Ltd.

From start to finish the installation of our Solar Panels, Storage Battery, Hybrid Inverter, Solar iBoost (hot water tank heating) and of course the Scaffolding, went totally to plan. The Roof Team, Electrician and Scaffolding was top notch; additionally the DES sales staff were so professional and really quick to respond to my many questions and requests for additional information. Nothing was too much trouble and they truly couldn't have been more helpful at every stage. So pleased with all aspects of DES Renewable Energy's proposal, contractual process and ahead-of-time installation. Highly recommended.

Agreed deal with salesman which was a very easy and simple process. Guys turned up on time, very polite and tidy. All panels and battery fitted and ready s working like a dream. Couldn’t ask for anything better. If you’re looking for solar panels then I would highly recommend DES Renewable Energy

DES fitted our first solar panels and they are working very well. DES were very easy to contact and very helpful in answering our questions before we went ahead. The price was competitive and the whole installation process, including wiring for our battery, was carried out very professionally. They are a relatively small company but we think this is actually a strength because they provide an excellent personal service.

I recently had solar panels installed by DES Renewables. The company was a pleasure to deal with from the office staff to workers that installed the system. Highly recommend.

Was one of the few companies I contacted that would come out and discuss and advise about solar panels. When I ordered the system the work was carried out quickly and to my complete satisfaction

The service was quick, professional and clean. Would definitely recommend as the saving are surprising.
