What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Clear communication and careful tailoring of each system are the themes that recur most in the feedback for this Bromley-based solar panel installer. Reviewers describe how thoroughly options are explained before any commitment, with George in particular praised for taking the time to understand individual motivations rather than pushing a standard package. A theme running through the feedback is the smooth running of projects, from the first enquiry through to completion, and the speed of the installation itself, with one system reportedly finished within a single working day.

The quality of the finished work draws consistent praise, including full roof reinstatement, integrated panels, battery storage and inverter setups using brands such as Sunsynk and Fogstar. Customers mention tidiness and minimal disruption during the work, and note that questions are answered promptly afterwards. George and Mark are singled out for their professionalism and work ethic, while the advice on system sizing and potential electricity generation is described as straightforward and easy to follow. Fair pricing is another recurring theme, with one account noting a quote matched a larger provider while the service was considerably better, and post-install support is valued.

First class. From start to finish George & Mark were brilliant. Then the install team came and completed the job with skill and speed. Blown away by how good this experience has been. If you need solar dont hesitate. Go local because this team is the business. Easily the most straightforward home improvement we’ve done…..and we’ve done everything you can think of. Thanks guys, i’ll be telling everyone to use you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I had a very disappointing experience with The Solar Co. After the work was completed at my property, I noticed that some of my belongings were missing. I raised my concerns and believe customers should be cautious and ensure their property is protected when allowing any contractors into their homes.

We couldn’t be happier with our solar PV, battery, and inverter installation and the service we received from start to finish. The team was informative and approachable throughout, taking the time to answer our questions and explain the options clearly before we committed, which made the whole process feel straightforward and reassuring. Installation was smooth, efficient, and completed to a high standard with very little disruption. The system is working brilliantly, and we would gladly recommend this company to anyone looking to invest in solar.

Excellent service from start to finish. George, Mark and the team were professional, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole process. The installation of our solar panels, inverter and battery system was carried out efficiently and to a high standard, with clear communication at every stage. They were responsive to questions, explained everything properly, and made the handover straightforward with all the relevant documentation, certificates and commissioning information provided. I am very pleased with the system and the overall service. I would happily recommend The Solar & Renewables Co to anyone considering solar panels or battery storage.

Top quality people, installation and equipment - highly recommended. Ours is an installation on a flat roof at the rear of a loft conversion, in a conversation area in Ken & Chelsea. This means there are restrictions on what can be done, but Mark and Geoege were very familiar with the rules and confident in recommending what was allowed. They made good suggestions and dealt well with my (many) questions patiently and swiftly, before we settled on an optimum plan. This even made use of some scaffolding that was on the next building, making the whole installation as cost-effective as possible. We went from enquiry to plan to installation in 4 weeks Installation was also very efficient. The team was onsite at 0730 and had finished the whole job - panels, inverter, battery, Uninterruptable Power Supply and car charger - by 1500hrs, when the system started working. They worked hard, were unfailingly polite, took off shoes indoors, and tidied up well. They promise ongoing support and help with tarrifs, etc so I am looking forward to many years of good service. Thanks!

I’ve had an impeccable experience from start to finish. From the very first enquiry, the team responded quickly and professionally. George took the time to properly understand my motivations for installing solar, ensuring the system was tailored to what mattered most to me rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution. His communication style was also perfectly pitched to my level of knowledge, which made the whole process feel clear and collaborative. The initial site visit was excellent and immediately built trust and confidence in the delivery. The projections provided were transparent and helpful, clearly outlining expected benefits, as well as recommended tariffs and overall strategy. Mark’s pre-installation survey was equally thorough, capturing all the detail needed to ensure a smooth installation and reinforcing confidence in the team. Installation day itself was seamless. The team were respectful, worked around parking restrictions without issue, and left everything clean and tidy. The system looks great, and the extra touch of cleaning the roof lights while they were up there didn’t go unnoticed. Post-installation, George shared a comprehensive Google Drive folder containing photos, product manuals, and all certification, which was incredibly helpful. Since installation, generation has been strong, setting up the export tariff was straightforward, and I’m already seeing the financial benefits. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering solar.

The Solar Co came up with the most appealing quote, seemed very professional, carried out the work to a high standard and when there were some issues 9 months later they came out and fixed them for free. I got 5 quotes for solar panels for our roof. Many other companies come up with a quote without coming to your home, they just use satellite images but I found out the hard way that this method is not accurate. Other companies didn't take what I wanted onboard or were very expensive. George came out to the house with his drone and camera and measured all the dimensions. I told him that I wanted lots of solar panels and he managed to fit 21 panels on the roof. The quote was a reasonable price and he took my considerations on board. The install was pretty quick and was done well with minimal disruption. They gave a good tutorial on how it all works and had suggestions for tariffs. They provided very good aftercare. Around 9 months after install the bird mesh came loose. At first George and Mark found it hard to believe that it could have happened without something tearing the mesh off but they came out to the house and agreed to fix it which they have now done. It seems as though they don't expect this type of thing to happen to them because they have high standards. I don't expect a 0% chance of things going wrong, what's more important is how the company reacts when things do go wrong and in this respect I think the Solar Co were very good. So I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to install solar. I'm very happy with the outcome.
