10 Very professional team that took pride in their work
Posted 1 day ago
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 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 sprung up to jump on the solar bandwagon - 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 workVerified reviewerJob location: BH2110 Excellent service from 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.Verified reviewerJob location: GU26- AAlbert

highly recommend DES Renewable. From start to finish, the experience was excellent. Richard walked through the detailed tailored solar system. Communication was excellent, we were informed of the process and what to expect. The installation was neat with minimal cable showing. The 4 part payment was straightforward. Professional, honest and highly recommended.Verified reviewerJob location: SN1 10 DES Seamless Install
Posted 5 days ago
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.Verified reviewerJob location: BH2210 Professional and helpful company

DES were great to deal with from the first design call through to the installation and support. They didn't try and hard sell us things we didn't need but listened to our requirements and built something around that. The team that did the install were really professional and friendly, and the post installation support has been great. Would definitely recommend themVerified reviewerJob location: BA1510 Solar and Battery Storage

Great service from start to finish. It’s a bit of a minefield out there and I must have got about 5/6 quotes. Chose DES for their variety of offering but also for their excellent reviews. Scaffold was up in 2-3 hrs and then install of panels and battery was done a couple of days later in 1 visit. Went with Goodwe battery as has 20yr warranty on the inverter. Highly recommendVerified reviewerJob location: BA11
