What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

In Solihull and the wider Birmingham area, M.E.S. Electrical & Solar Ltd carries out domestic solar panel and battery installations alongside the associated electrical connections. Craig and the wider team are repeatedly praised for their professionalism across the whole process, from the first enquiry to the final handover. Reviewers describe the quoting stage as informative and welcoming rather than pushy, with Rachael singled out for her proactive and reassuring manner. A point that comes up often is the clarity of communication before, during and after the work, including prompt replies to calls and emails and patient explanations of how the panels, inverter and battery operate.

Installation is frequently described as efficient and neatly executed, with wiring and bird guard fitting completed to a high standard, and customers note the team's willingness to adjust battery or inverter placement and accommodate design tweaks on the day. Paperwork and handover documents are supplied swiftly once the job finishes. Reviewers repeatedly mention the fairness of the quoted price compared with larger providers, and the family-run character of the business. The completed installations are reported to perform exactly as promised, with the system output sometimes improved on the initial design.

Craig and his team were extremely helpful from start to finish of my solar installation. All relevant questions were answered professionally and in a timely manner. The actual installation team completed the job in two days and their work was very professional. Once completed, all of the applicable paperwork was supplied very quickly and I would have no hesitation of recommending M.E.S to anybody considering having a pv system.

We've had a great experience with Rachael, Craig and the rest of the team at M.E.S Electrical & Solar. They were very professional and communicated well throughout. They were also very flexible with me wanting to make changes to the original quote. The actual installation went equally smoothly. They were there for about a day in total, explained how to use the panels and battery very clearly, and provided all the handover documents very promptly (even sending some of them through when they were on holiday!) I wouldn't hesitate to recommend M.E.S Electrical & Solar, and would happily go with them again in future.

So pleased we chose MES Electrical & Solar to fit our solar panels and batteries. It was everything we hoped for, great service from this family run business. Pre-sales by Rachel was very informative and welcoming, no hard sale. The quoted price for the job was also very competative, better than national providers. Quality of installation was very good and completed by a great team of lads. We felt looked after through the whole process, everything was well organised and all agreed dates kept to. No concerns or frustrations, I would recommend this company to anyone.

I contacted MES electrical about getting solar panels. The whole process was so smooth. I filled out the enquiry form, Rachael got back to me so quickly with the cost. I expected everything to be more expensive but prices are very competitive. Craig and Rachael answered all my questions. I was meant to wait for another 4 weeks but they had an opening and booked me for that slot immediately. On the day of the installation, the team did a brilliant job. They made sure to clean up after themselves and took all the rubbish away. The installation looks professional with all the wires tucked away. The team are also very friendly and happy to answer any questions. I had a couple of quotes with tel he big companies but I am glad I went to MES electrical. Definitely a friendly and professional company

Very pleased with the recent installation of 21 solar panels and Fox battery at our home last week. The whole process from initial enquiry to commissioning has been quick and professional, and the installation itself only took two days. The installers Ryan, Ryan and George were efficient, considerate and polite and Craig, Sean and Rachael at the office have been responsive and helpful. Combine all of this with a very competitive price and M.E.S. becomes a highly recommended company to provide a complete solar solution.

Really pleased with our solar & battery experience, from sales to install. Rachael was very proactive and reassuring throughout. Then followed up by Craig and his team, who walked me through every step of the journey (inc. sending me photos of the panels before installation day to make sure I was comfortable), handled unexpected National Grid hiccups without pressure and installed everything very professionally. They even walked me through the FoxCloud App at the end. Recommended!
