I can’t rate this company highly enough. From the first time I made contact until the day the system was commissioned, the service has been second to none. Couldn’t have been more helpful, competitive on price, everything happened when they said it would and the workmanship is brilliant. I was dreading instillation day, but the guys were quick, tidy, courteous and were done and gone in a matter of days. They are very clued up on the subject of solar power and have gone out of their way to make sure I get the best out of our system from day one. Thank you gentlemen.Posted on Google![]()

Our solar install took place between 12/01/24 and 14/01/24 and we could not be happier. We had installed an 8.1kwp east/west array (10 panels on each side) with a 5kw Givenergy inverter and 9.5kw Givenergy storage battery. Communication from start to finish was spot on and despite the freezing cold (but sunny) days the installers cracked on always with a smile on their faces, they genuinely enjoy what they do and it shows. Keep them topped up with warm drinks and they are good to go! Follow up paperwork was swift and attention to detail was clearly present throughout. If you are considering solar, it is a no-brainer from me and if you are considering Will, Tim, Cathy and the team at Rutland Renewables I could not recommend any higher, a company to carry out this work for you.Posted on Google![]()

We used Rutland Renewables after a neighbour had 10 panels fitted and they were pleased with the result. We had 16 panels, a 91/2Kwh battery and 5Kwh inverter installed. This was all arranged from start to finish in about 2 months and expertly managed by Will and his team. The scaffolding was erected on Friday, the installation team arrived promptly on the Monday morning and the work was completed including the commissioning of the system by early on the Tuesday afternoon as promised. All work was done neatly and cleanly (despite the weather) including the lifting and relaying of paving slabs between the house and garage, cables etc. The team are a great bunch of lads and a pleasure to deal with, removing shoes while working in the house and enjoying a joke with us. Will recently returned to help us sort out payment for any excess electricity we may generate from an energy supplier other then our present supplier and from our experience I would have no hesitation in recommending this company.Posted on Google![]()

The installation of solar panels, inverter, diverter and battery was carried out in a professional and speedy fashion by a team who clearly had the necessary skills and understanding of the system. The cost of the project was very fair and we would have no hesitation in recommending the company to other potential customersPosted on Google![]()

20 Panel Array (8.3 kWp) Hybrid Inverter (5kW) Batteries 2 x 9.5 kW (19kw total) Located in the East Midlands. At the outset I sent the same email to several companies both large and small requesting a quote. Not all companies responded!!! Out of those that did it was a mixed bag of info that I received, some fairly basic, some very detailed. I am fortunate that my roof can accommodate East, West and South facing panels yet only one company (Rutland Renewables) were able/willing to accommodate my request. I got the impression that the other companies didn’t want the additional hassle. Perhaps they wanted to avoid the G99 certification, I don’t know. As someone with no actual experience of Solar PV Installations I had lots of very basic questions yet Rutland responded politely, promptly but above all with the technical reasoning to back up their responses which I could of course look up and confirm online. There was no overselling of product, indeed Rutland produced a quote for a fairly small set up “Designed for a single person household” that would meet my current needs. As I own a fairly substantial property which my family will inherit eventually, I decided to get a bigger system to future proof the property to accommodate a family rather than a singleton. At my request Rutland and I eventually agreed on an installation that suited both current and future needs. The guys did a great job installing the new system, very polite and informative, with attention to detail and a respect for my property to the point of taking off their shoes when accessing the property. The onsite installation team were happy to answer my questions and queries in detail and in a “Jargon Free” way. Once the system was up and running, I was walked through the entire set up so I knew what the various isolators etc were for. They also walked me through the Givenergy phone app and its functions. The phone app and desktop versions are fascinating with lots of data and I’m quickly learning about the property base load etc which in turn will probably prompt me to not leave some items on standby overnight to conserve the battery and I’m already learning that with an abundance of FREE electricity its much better to boil a kettle when I want to wash a couple of cups rather than turn on the tap and burn EXPENSIVE gas and waste a load of water running the tap till it gets hot. A Win win situation. I’m sure I will learn more about load shifting (Maybe using the washing machine at a different time of day) or using a portable electric heater for a bit of additional heat instead of switching on the Gas Fired central heating as I get used to the new normal of FREE ELECTRICITY (Apart from the standing charge of course) I’m NOT motivated by “Green ideology” this is simply an upfront investment to reduce the cost of energy going forward and also allow a degree of energy independence (The system is designed to power the entire house in case of a grid power cut) At this stage, the system has only been in a week (Mid October) I can’t give figures on money saved, payback time etc however so far, I have had no need to draw electricity from the grid at all and once the system is fully registered etc I will even be able to sell electricity back to the supplier.Posted on Google![]()

We used Rutland Renewables to install an EV charger. Delighted with the service and result. Kept us up to date with estimate installation dates. Installed the charger, left no mess and explained how to use the new system and app.Posted on Google![]()

From the initial enquiry, site visit, quote, queries and installation we were very impressed with the team at Rutland Renewables. Their in house installation team are a credit to the company a great bunch of guys who respected us and our property whilst on site. Credit also to the scaffolding team who managed to dismantle the scaffolding to fit in with us.Posted on Google![]()

The information I would like to share, is a few photos of the installation, and how my installation was processed. I ordered the solar panel installation and more in May 2023. At the time Rutland Renewables informed me of the waiting time due to the volume of work and the ordering the materials, scaffolding etc. The team kept in contact with me by the usual methods and updated me every few weeks up to the installation day. First the scaffolding a few day before, to be erected and then the exciting day of the installation. The engineers were great, kind and curious. The engineers working so hard in the 30 deg heat, and also answering my questions as they were sweating and working hard. Rutland Renewables director came along and trained me on how to use the two apps I have. Now I had 14 Solar Panels, 9.6Kwh Battery Storage, E.V. Charger, and an "EDDI" to give me free hot water everyday. Loving it! Then best of all, selling power back to the GRID. Best purchase Ive ever made! I believe I have chosen a great company, with total peace of mind with insurance backed Guarantee. Would I recommend them, oh yes! Hope this helps when choosing a company to install the various products you are thinking of purchasing.Posted on Google![]()

Really pleased with the service from Rutland Renewables. They have been extremely professional and responsive from the start, responding quickly to e-mails and calls. Very reliable from quoting, through installation to post-installation support and trouble-shooting. Dealt a lot with Tim and Will and we were very impressed with the service throughout. Would certainly use them again.Posted on Google![]()

We have just had solar panels installed and Tim, Will and the team at Rutland Renewables are fantastic. They are professional, accommodating, friendly and knowledgable. From start to finish, we have been fully informed and everything delivered as promised. Everyone has been a delight to work with including the chaps putting up the scaffolding and installing the system. I thoroughly recommend them:)Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified that these reviews were published on Rutland Renewables Ltd's Google Business Profile. Learn more
