Current Renewables Ltd Anmeldelser 

I am delighted with the outcome of my decision to use Current Renewables to provide my solar powered electricity system.
Anthony Cridland was my first point of contact with Current Renewables. He visited my property, assessed my requirements and produced a clear and easy to understand plan and quotation.
Having gone ahead with the work, I can say that the installation team from Current Renewables were excellent. There was a slight difficulty with the scaffolding team, which unfortunately delayed the installation by a few days, but ultimately the team installing the system were outstanding. They were easy to have around, worked efficiently and professionally, and left everything clean and tidy.
The system has now been up and running for two months, and I am completely satisfied with the outcome. I am very pleased with both the system itself and the service I received from Current Renewables.

As many my wife and I were getting worried re the ongoing price increase of electricity so we contacted several companies, had some ridiculous quotes from 29k down to 8k, all done online and most companies seem to be fixated on electronic quoting, and in the main it works, but you can’t fully understand different scenarios unless there’s feet on the ground, Current Renewables showed an interest to visit our property from the outset. and they did, (within a week) This was great as we were very interested in the benefits of a battery back up, but didn’t fully understand how they worked and how they could benefit us in such a great way!, Theres many systems and variable set ups out there, different solar systems can benefit in slightly different ways.
So all in all we didn’t have a sales visit more of an education, which we welcomed greatly.

It was a refreshing change to have no pushy salesman and straight away we could tell Current Renewables were a company you could trust, with clear and concise advice, putting us and our home first . (Rare these days)

We agreed on a system, both tailored for our needs and the best suited for our home.
Was it cheap? no, Solar isn’t, but what we agreed was very competitive and great value for money: 2 batteries, Invertor and a gateway, with enough panels to fill our large roof, (our choice) which is fortunately perfectly situated to catch the sun all day.
Within 2 months scaffolding was up, electrician was in, did a great job and very tidy. Roof team were on the roof sorting panels. Was a great experience all were very professional, both friendly and courteous, they were a pleasure to have working on our home, and to be honest it felt more like having family visit.

Excellent company to deal with. Very competitive pricing, Anthony was a great person to deal with, not pushy, explained things clearly. The people doing the fitting were really good, did a great job, cleaned up well and were all pleasant. I would highly recommend this company.

We contacted a number of companies to supply and fit solar panels to our property. From our experience Current Renewables Ltd have been thoroughly professional and sold us exactly what we needed to meet our current needs. Other companies tried to oversell us or could not fit equipment to meet our needs. We suffer from a number of power cuts and wanted to be able to use stored power as and when required.

The company contacted us when agreed and arrived to fit scaffolding, panels and electrics on time. All the workers were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The work was completed as agreed and our house was left clean and tidy. This was a Friday.

To our amazement and delight the scaffolding was removed the following morning.

Since our initial contact with the company they have remained helpful and answered my questions as they arose.

I thoroughly recommend this company if you are looking to install solar panels. They have “held our hands” every step of the way and really deserve the five stars that I have given them.

I would also like to say a big thank you to how great the all the guys and girls that were involved with the installation and administration of my 23 pannel solar and battery installation, especially around safety of my 7 year old daughter as she was home and even letting me know when they would be making loud noises to which my daughter is scared of. The installation looks great and making a last minute decision to change the system and install the inverter and battery inside the garage was no problem for them to do and even agreed it was the best place to be situated out of sight even though it was more work for them to do. The workmanship on the installation is fantastic the team were all very perfesional, helpful and happy to answer all of my questions.
From excepting the quotation to completion of work was less than 3 weeks scaffolding was erected on the thursday into friday ready for work to begin on the monday the installation was completed tusday and scaffolding taken down on the Wednesday it was all extremely well executed in such a short space of time.
You have built a great company that can be trusted and is there for the customers and not just for the profit.

I have to say that right from the outset, the Salesman Anthony explained all the options and gave us great advice. We were very nervous as this was such a big capital outlay, but only having the system up and running for a few weeks, the returns are fantastic. All of the people in the process are friendly and cannot do too much for you. The entire process from start to finish was smooth. A great company.

Amazing staff, all so very helpful, polite and hardworking, panels were installed in two days. They also do a home visit to complete the survey, much better than sending photos. Very competitive price too. Would highly recommend to anyone considering panels.

The service was brilliant from start to finish. All staff, scaffolders, roofers, electricians to the office staff so friendly. I'm a very happy customer.

Very professional and knowledgeable from start to finish, face to face from initial enquiry to completion and being a local company for us, all the better for through life support and future upgrades. Highly recommended.

I have just had a 9kw system with batteries and gateway fitted by Current Renewables.
From the first contact with Frazer it was a great experience. He is very knowledgeable and answers any questions you might have. The system he designed took into consideration what we were using it for, and not “how much can I sell” Which given my experience up to that point, was very refreshing.
We had to change the design slightly during the process, but nothing was too much trouble. They are even proactive in making sure you get on the right tariff.
The whole team were fast, responsive, polite and very, very neat. A work of art in the world of electrics!
I would not hesitate to recommend Current Renewables.
Thank you to Frazer and the whole team!

Great company. No pushy salesman, gave a competitive quote straight away and advised me to get other quotes for comparison. Even explained why I didn’t need some of the equipment I was asking about to save me money. Good communication throughout, friendly installation team completed quite a large system in 2 days. Great team, would definitely recommend 👍🏻

We’ve been extremely happy with the service provided by Current Renewables. They responded promptly to all communication and patiently answered our many questions.

They supplied three proposals, each offering different combinations of panels and batteries, along with clear projections of our long-term savings.

The installation was quick and efficient, and everyone involved—from the scaffolders and fitters to Frazer—was fantastic.

The aftercare has also been excellent. Once the panels were installed, Frazer talked us through the best current energy providers, the most suitable tariffs, and how we could store, use, and even sell surplus energy back to the grid.

We couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

Deciding to commit to a solar panel system for your home is a big deal. But deciding on a company to carry this out is an even bigger deal. We looked at what was available to us and quickly narrowed down our search to local and privately owned. We are thankful that we chose Current Renewables. From sales to preparation, to installation and completion it was a journey of professionalism which made us feel that we definitely chose a great company to work with. I would also add that no questions were too silly for them even if we asked twice! All of their work was neat and tidy. Communication is brilliant and the after care is top notch. Great Company and great product!

I want this to be a detailed review as these guys really deserve it. In summary, we had a great experience with them from the sales engagement through to installation.

I went through a quotation process using 3 suppliers and ended up choosing Current Renewables as they offered a no nonsense approach, which I appreciated.

Length of time taken: 6 weeks from initial call to completed installation. It would have been sooner, but I delayed things while asking many many questions
Installation time: 3 working days + extra for EV charger as the first one was damaged in transit

The sales process:
I found Current Renewables via Octopus as one of their recommended suppliers. Frazer and Steve came out to my property and did the survey and provided pricing on the same day. All of my questions were answered and a full quote provided that day. Frazer explained that there was a possibility of adding more panels on the day if we could find space. We ended up adding an additional 7. I had a fair few questions along the way that were all answered, quickly.

The installation:
The installs are handled by Giovanni, Frazer's brother. He and the team were always on time, friendly and professional. The scaffolding went up half a day late but there was plenty to keep the team busy so it didn't impact the instal. We had a long cable run from the main board to the EV charger and this was planned out exactly where we wanted it. Giovanni wasn't happy with the look of one part of the cable run, so had one of the guys turn up early the next day to redo it. When finished, the installation looked great. There were a few snags along the way but the team came back to complete everything that we asked to be done. The EV charger arrived damaged in transit and the guys struggled to get another one onsite, but this was handled well with constant comms letting us know when it would be installed.

As a previous reviewer mentioned, how a team communicates and fixes mistakes shows you a lot more about the company than anything else. These guys are top notch, nothing was too much trouble.

We asked for the scaffolding to be removed by a certain date as we had people coming over and it was down by that date.

The kit:
27 x 510w Aiko Panels
1 x Sigenergy 8Kw Inverter
2 x Sigenergy 8Kw Batteries
1 x Sigenergy Backup device
1 x Sigenergy EV Charger

We've had everything operating now for 2 weeks and it has worked flawlessly. We haven't taken any power from the grid, have made £75 exporting it back and both our EV's have only been charged using solar.

For any geeks out there, you'll be in heaven with the Sigenergy app. It gives you complete control over how you use your energy.

I genuinely couldn't be happier with the system and the entire installation process. The entire team did an outstanding job.

Frazer from Current Renewables Ltd was one of over a dozen companies in the Somerset area that I asked for quotations for residential solar PV and battery installations. I also considered a number of solar manufactures for their system components and the various PV panel manufacturers.
My primary concerns for the selection of which manufacture and system components to go with were:
1. A Gateway comparable in functionality to the Telsa Powerwall 3.
2. Modular system design for simplified system expansion.
3. Offered at least 3 MPPTs.
4. System cost, warranty period and whether the manufacturer / installer had a good public reputation/standing. These last points proved to be very hard to nail down in this industry!

After considering a number of systems I settled upon the following Sigenergy system components and installation by Current Renewables Ltd commenced on the 11th July 2025:
8kW Controller-Inverter with 3 MPPTs.
2 x 8kWh batteries (a 3rd was added later).
HomeMax SP 12k Gateway.
18 x DMEGC DM450M10RT-54HBB PV Panels that were later switched to AIKO Neostar-2S AIKO-A465-MAH54Mb PV Panels.
Bird Mesh around the panels.

My quotation included scaffolding and all other sundry costs. The total quotation was initially £14,019 plus an additional £1,955 for a 3rd 8kWh battery that was added after the first two had been installed; bring the total to £15,974.

The selected PV panels were specifically selected for their HW4 robustness rating (40mm hailstone at 27.5m/s). Due to most manufacturers ‘fudging’ the robustness figures quoted upon their datasheets (and often not following the HW scaling at all), this proved to be difficult data to obtain from most manufacturers. The two that I found that provided this level of robustness where DMEGC and AIKO (along with certification evidence to back up the datasheets).

The initial quote from Frazer was to include AIKO Neostar 2S panels but upon emailing a number of customer queries to AIKO, to which I received no response at all; I decided to switch to installing DMEGC Infinity RT panels as this company was responsive to customer queries. Unfortunately, this switch in the panel supplier to DMEGC proved to be problematic. The manufacturer had ceased suppling 54HBB panels across Europe and only supplied the B54HBB panels instead. The B54HBB panels are only rated to HW3 robustness. This was not spotted until after the B54HBB panels had already been installed however. This prompted a switch back to the originally planned AIKO panels!

The installation (Thurs/Friday 10-11th July 2025) proceeded reasonably well but 2 of the PV panels could not be fitted onto the house roof. Frazer was not available to oversee this part of the installation personally on Friday and unfortunately the panels were not positioned correctly resulting in insufficient space to install the last two panels. However, Frazer and his brother returned the next day (Saturday morning) to remove and reposition them so that all of the panels would fit on the roof. This was all satisfactory. Frazer also removed the garage panels and re-centred these panels as well!

It was only a couple of days later, while I was reviewing the photos I had taken during the installation, that I noticed that the PV panel model numbers were B54HBB rather than the specified 54HBB units. Frazer later confirmed with the wholesaler (who accepted responsibility for the mistake) that the incorrect panels had indeed been shipped and installed. A week was spent trying to source the correct panels before it was found that no EU supplier of the 54HBB panels could be located. Consequently, the decision was made to switch back to installing the AIKO panels again, as originally planned, because these were HW4 rated with a TUV-Rheinland robustness certificate for the Neostar 2S AIKO-A455-MAH54Mb panels to this effect!

All of the panels were removed and replaced with the AIKO panels on the 29th July. An additional 3rd 8kWh battery was installed on the 5th August 2025. The entire installation took nearly 4 weeks due to these setbacks with the PV panels.

Overall, I was very pleased with the standard of the work done by Frazer and his team. It wasn’t flawless and things needed fixing! But it was done with the best of intent and I respected Frazer’s willingness to acknowledge mistakes and correct them. That to me is where a review really matters. Not when things go right but when they don’t! That determines whether the installer is someone you want to trust or not. Having seen how Frazer conducts himself, I would recommend him despite the mistakes made. It’s not whether mistakes are made - mistakes happen. It’s whether they will be corrected! Frazer will correct his mistakes and that counts for a LOT! 5 Stars!

Brilliant service and installation from Current Renewables. I’m extremely happy with the work that’s been carried out on my Property and Frazer explained everything in great detail seeing as this was my first time purchasing Solar Panels. I’d recommend the company to anyone.

Frazer and his colleagues were all very knowledgeable about the system they were installing for us. Their work was efficient,clean and tidy. Nothing was to much trouble they were able to answer all of our questions. They were all friendly and helpful. We would reccomend current renewables to anyone wantint to fit solar panels.

We received great service from Frazer & team would thoroughly recommend this company. From start to finish the company provided a very professional experience; the quote and recommendations for our property were immediately delivered and system installed efficiently & quickly. Well worthy of 5 stars 🌟

It has been a pleasure working with Current Renewables. Frazer was knowledgeable about solar panels and installations and has glowing customer recommendations making it clear why they won their Prestige Award - Congratulations

I would thoroughly recommend Current Renewables Ltd Frazer and the team were polite, friendly and worked quickly and efficiently to help us get the solar installation we wanted at a great price. I will definitely be calling on them again when we purchase another battery to fit into the system.
