Current Renewables Ltd Reviews 21

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.

From start to finish, Current Renewables were excellent. Discussed options, including pros and cons, and together we worked out the best solution for my home. Installation was exactly on time and the team worked really well and very professionally. Great to support the environment and a local company.

Frazer was really clear about what I needed for the whole system, how it would be installed and I was able to organise the installation when it was convenient for me. There was no pressure and although not my cheapest quote it was the one I felt most confident to go with.

I was really impressed that the job was essentially completed in one day, including scaffolding going up and coming down (I had a 6 panel installation on one side of the roof) and the boxing in of the battery and inverter. The guys who came on the installation day clearly explained what they would be doing and showed me how to use the in house device once everything was installed. When it was realised that something hadn’t been fitted on the installation day it was resolved within a day, at my convenience. Thanks.

Current Renewables did a big solar pv system on my industrial unit ECU. Trusted them to spec the system and design it. Everything went as it said they showed up on time and completed the job when they said they would. System size was 224KW and works great. Would recommend to any commercial or industrial owners needed help with their energy bills.

I highly recommend Current Renewables. They gave me the cheapest quote out of several installers I approached, but there was no pressure at any stage of the process. They use high-quality solar panels with a 30-year warranty and a 15-year warranty on the battery, which gave me great confidence in the system’s durability.

The team was professional, punctual, and true to their word—no delays or last-minute changes. The installation was very clean and neat, with no mess or disruption to the property. Everything was done exactly as promised.

If you're looking for a reliable, affordable, and professional solar installer, I would recommend Current Renewables to anyone without hesitation.

Had Current Renewables fit some panels on my roof, great friendly team - explained all the steps and costs and handled the job quickly and professionally

Arrived Monday (Bank Holiday) morning and installed 20 solar panels followed by the installation of an electric boiler by 4 o’clock the next day. The professionalism and courtesy was only surpassed by the quality of their work. We were so lucky to find them.

Good reliable and efficient
highly recommend

Current Renewables Ltd is a company that will be hard to beat for quality, price,neatness of work, efficiency and speed.

Top company. First class customer service.
Installation team very professional.

Its a 5 stars from me
