    Great addition and worthwhile investment

    Posted 6 days ago

    The sales person was extremely pleasant (but NOT pushy) and gave all detailed information. The installation was done very professionally and in a shorter time than promised. We're delighted that we immediately noticed the benefits and within a couple of months (installation early in the year) we were already getting back money and now we're experiencing substantial savings. To date, we should find our costs should be paid off in a year or two less than estimated by DES. We're VERY satisfied!!

    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

    Solar panel installer

    Posted 6 days ago

    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.

    Excellent Solar and Tesla Battery Installation – Professional, Reliable, and Great Support

    Posted 6 days ago

    I recently had solar panels and a Tesla battery system installed, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the first consultation through to installation and follow-up, the team were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on doing things properly. The installation was completed neatly and on time, with clear explanations at every stage. The system has been running perfectly, and I’m already seeing the benefits in both performance and savings. What really stands out is the ongoing support — any questions I’ve had since the install have been answered quickly and cl
