EXCELLENT Based on 6 reviews Posted on Philip Long2025-03-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alan and the team installed and connected our ground mounted PV system and battery. Having the house run off solar is very satisfying and I would recommend it to anyone, as well as Renew-Able Solutions for the instal. Alan's support post installation has been much appreciated as wellPosted on John McConville2025-02-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alan and the team did a great job advising and installing the best suited battery and ev charger for us. We are now reaping the benefits of cheap, clean energy. He was on hand to help with any issues with configuring our GivEnergy Battery and Zappi charger making them work optimally with my energy provider. Very responsive. I would thoroughly recommend Renew-AblePosted on Malachy McCool2025-02-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were looking for batteries to complement our pv panels since on sunny days we never used all the electricity generated. We are also on off peak for charging our car. Alan was superb. He explained it all clearly, answered all questions knowledgeably and was very comfortable to deal with. The job was done on time, with no fuss and, very importantly, we felt very comfortable having them in the house. Delighted at the battery performance. It not only worked to store solar but we could choose to charge on very low overnight rates to use in daytime. Our electricity bill literally halved from March (pre install) to April (2023). Professional, courteous and very skilled. Subsequently we decided to augment the system with a second battery and again they were flawless in advice, integrating it into the system and commissioning. Now almost two years on from initial installation it is all still working perfectly. What more could you want?Posted on Lisa Mason2025-02-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic! From my initial consultation on EV changer installation to the finished job everything was seamless! The cable is fully hidden and super neat! I am so happy! I cannot recommend Alan & his team enough!!!!Posted on Alex Butcher2024-02-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alan and his team were fantastic - spent lots of time helping me to understand the different options for my solar and battery setup, and performed a great installation. Would highly recommend.Posted on Jeremy Roebuck2024-02-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Professional service with excellent advice.
