I found DES Renewables a very good company to deal with and have no hesitation in recommending them. They kept me informed of everything needing to be done. I could always contact someone or would get a call back. I am very happy with my solar panels.Verified reviewerJob location: SO409 Great addition and worthwhile investment

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!!Verified reviewerJob location: HA710 Knowledgeable, helpful and great attention to the details.

Job location: GU18A 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 at9.67 Solar panel installer

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.Verified reviewerJob location: SP118 Reliable Company
