Solar Panel Installation Reviews

16 verified reviews

Solar PV + Battery
“We had 12 Jinko Neo panels fitted on our 1930s semi in Horfield, along with a GivEnergy AIO battery. The team scaffolded, installed, and commissioned in two days. Our October electricity bill dropped from £174 to £31. The app is brilliant for monitoring generation in real time.”

“Had a 4.5kW system with a GivEnergy battery installed last spring. The whole process from survey to switch-on took less than three weeks. The team were tidy, punctual, and took time to explain everything. Our bills have dropped dramatically and the south-facing rear of our Victorian villa is perfect for generation.”

“We were nervous about the disruption of having solar panels fitted on our 1980s detached but D&R Energy made the whole experience effortless. One day installation, perfectly clean site left at the end, and the app shows us generating 380–420 kWh most months from our south-west facing roof.”

“Full system installed on our Worle semi — 14 Jinko panels, Tesla Powerwall 3, and a Zappi charger. D&R Energy handled everything from planning to DNO approval and MCS registration. The whole-house energy system is working brilliantly and my car now charges free overnight from stored solar.”

“Excellent experience from start to finish on our 1990s detached. The survey was thorough, the quote was clear with no hidden extras, and the installation team were professional and efficient. The GivEnergy app shows us exactly what we are generating and saving each day — currently averaging £85 per month less on electricity.”

“Got three quotes and chose D&R Energy because they were the most thorough with their survey and most transparent with pricing. The 10 Jinko Tiger Neo panels and GivEnergy 9.5kWh battery on our stone-built terrace in Catherine Hill are performing above what was estimated. Would recommend without hesitation.”

“As a local company D&R Energy felt like the obvious choice — they know Port Marine properties inside out. They installed a 9-panel Jinko system on our south-facing townhouse roof in a single day. Generating around 3,400 kWh a year which has massively cut our bills. Brilliant service.”

“Went for the full package on our 1960s bungalow — 14 Exiom panels, GivEnergy AIO battery, and a Zappi charger. D&R Energy coordinated everything seamlessly and the system has been running flawlessly. Our energy bills are now essentially zero — we export more than we import most months.”

“We had 12 Jinko Neo panels and a GivEnergy battery fitted on our 1930s semi in Bishops Hull. D&R Energy's surveyor spotted that our rear roof was almost due south — optimal alignment. The system generated 1,050 kWh in its first three months. Thoroughly professional from first contact.”

“With electricity prices rising we decided solar was the right move. D&R Energy fitted 10 Exiom panels on our post-war semi in Sydenham. Installation was done in a single day and the team left the site spotless. Already saving around £65 a month compared to this time last year.”

“D&R Energy installed 14 Jinko panels and a GivEnergy 9.5kWh battery on our 1930s semi in Hucclecote. Despite being 40 miles away they were punctual, tidy, and completed the installation in one day. The GivEnergy app is excellent and we are on course for the 5.5-year payback they estimated.”

“We were concerned about our conservation area location in Lansdown but D&R Energy immediately put us at ease — they confirmed our rear-facing roof was permitted development without any planning application needed. 10 Jinko Solar panels fitted in one day, no fuss, no mess. Generating well above what was forecast.”

“Our Victorian cottage in Wells was off the gas grid and we wanted to reduce our oil dependence. D&R Energy installed 10 Jinko panels and a GivEnergy battery, and we are now running on solar for around 8 months of the year. Their expertise with heritage properties made the planning process simple.”

“We're off the gas grid in Glastonbury and our oil bills were astronomical. D&R Energy installed 16 Exiom panels and a Tesla Powerwall 3 on our 1960s bungalow. The difference is remarkable — oil usage down over 80% in the months we have sun. Payback calculation looks like just under 6 years.”

“Our 1990s Radburn-style semi in Bradley Stoke has a perfect south-west facing roof. D&R Energy confirmed this during the survey and recommended 12 Jinko panels to maximise generation. No conservation area headaches, no complex access — just a clean, efficient one-day installation. Very impressed.”
