In Oct 25, my wife & I had a solar panel system installed by DES renewable Energy Ltd. onto the roof of our home. The work was successfully completed on time and without incident. Unfortunately, we had to ask for post installation assistance on two separate occasions. Communications after the event were helpful & professional & both incidents were resolved quickly and to my entire satisfaction. The process from initial contact, through installation & the after sales service has been helpful and constructive throughout. I am very happy to endorse this company.Verified reviewerJob location: SP1110 Solar Panel Installation

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 wereVerified reviewerJob location: SP710 Excellent!
