REST Solar my experience
Ahmed Shafiq, was my REST rep who did an outstanding job at explaining Solar System to me, what my property needed and the process.
I had many questions and he answered every single one (and I sent questions out of hours too)
I felt like he went above and beyond.
From Ahmed to installation team and back office: REST! has helped me a lot making sure they delivery what I wanted.
There are still questions I have now randomly and they support.
Would I recommend REST - 100%

Rest solar panels
From when Ash came through the door to discuss everything i would need through to the guys who did the install this was a brilliant experience.
Ash is a top lad who explained everything in detail and didn't rush me into signing anything I didn't want to nothing was to much trouble for him.
The company as a whole are very professional arrived when they said they would and did my I install in some of the worst weather conditions possible without moaning once.
Brilliant service throughout.

REST solar panels
My wife and I recently decided to go for solar panels, batteries and an inverter. We approached four companies in total and chose the last ‒ REST (Renewable Energy Services Team Ltd.) as this company has very good reviews on Trustpilot. The Sales Representative who visited us, Martin Curtis, was very clear in his breakdown of the cost of installation and also how much we could hope to save on electricity over the coming year/s. The fitters and electrical engineer who installed the system (including 16 panels on our south-facing roof), did an excellent job. We have not detected any leaks into our attic, despite the subsequent torrential rain showers here on Exmoor, a factor we were naturally concerned about. Hence, we are very pleased with the system as purchased and installed, and would highly recommend this company.

We’re delighted to hear that you and your wife had a positive experience from the initial consultation through to the installation. It’s especially pleasing to know that Martin was able to clearly explain both the costs and the potential savings, helping you feel confident in your decision.
Our installation teams take great pride in their work, so your comments about the quality of the fitting and electrical work, it will mean a great deal to them. We also completely understand your concerns about roof integrity, so it’s reassuring to hear that everything has held up perfectly, even with the torrential rain!
Thank you again for choosing REST and for recommending us. We hope you enjoy many years of clean energy and savings from your system, and please don’t hesitate to contact us if we can assist you in the future.

Gangsters Company .....Avoid at all Cost
I had a solar system installed by Rest Solar in May 2025, and my experience has been extremely disappointing. The company promised a 30‑year service plan, but in reality, their after‑sales support has been almost nonexistent.
Recently, I faced an issue with the system and had to pay £420 for a repair visit. Two technicians arrived without any proper sign‑in, sign‑out, or verification process. They claimed the job was completed but did not carry out any proper testing or provide a sign‑off. When I asked them to verify the work, they became rude and unprofessional.
I also tried contacting the company’s management for support, but my calls were ignored. The difference between the promises made during the sales process and the actual service delivered is huge. Once the system is installed, there is no meaningful support, no follow‑up, and no genuine customer care.
If you are considering spending £10,000–£20,000 on a solar system, I strongly recommend choosing a company that provides reliable after‑sales service. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Rest Solar.

Hi Mazhar,
Your system was working in full up until your smart meter was installed by Octopus. This is accurate and correct by your own admission in the various communications we've had.
You contacted us after the smart meter installation due to the issues you were experiencing, and were informed of exactly what the issue was, and the relatively quick and simple method of resolving the issue (ie, repositioning the CT clamp that had been misplaced by the meter installations team). Despite this being a quick, simple and safe DIY fix, you requested a standard call out fee for us to resolve the issue after Octopus declined to assist. At the time, you were under the impression you could get Octopus to reimburse you for the call out fee.
Eventually, you paid the call out fee yourself, and our engineer attended and resolved the issue in the quick and simple manner described to you previously. Since the clamp was positioned correctly, your system has functioned entirely as expected.
As I am sure any reasonable person can understand, we can not be held liable for a system not working when it was the action of another company that caused the malfunction. Under normal circumstances, this would void your active warranties and guarantees but, as a gesture of good will, we have opted to keep these in place for you.
Despite your view of a negative experience with us, I will continue to support you with any issues in the future, as I have supported you throughout the entire process to get the issue resolved.
Kindest regards,
Michael Britcher

Excellent customer service
The company is really good. Customer service is excellent. I was dealt by one of their advisor Ashuman who was such a knowledgable and polite guy. He supported me throughout the process up to the installation and handover. He was always ready to answer any questions I had and even contacted other teams on my behalf. The whole process was seamless and the installation staff were brilliant. A very happy customer taking benefit from the solar energy. Would highly recommend them.

Good company to deal with - good experience
Discussion with Raz about my requirements and how best to achieve them was professional, informative, positive and helpful. Equipment -2x batteries and a hybrid inverter- and price was agreed and an installation date confirmed. Communication with Charlotte, Afsana and Michael in the office was clear and concise. There was a logistical issue affecting the previous job which pushed the installation to the following day. Mark and Clint duly arrived the next morning . They encountered an unforseen issue with my existing solar layout which meant that I needed a different inverter. Hassan was contacted and a replacement inverter was delivered just after noon that day, in order to complete the installation. The installation was completed late afternoon and worked. Unfortunately the app needed a software update which Michael completed by around 7.30 that evening. A good team effort by all involved. The system and app have performed as expected since. I tend to judge people by how they respond when things don't go exactly to plan and I feel that REST are a firm that I would do business with again. Thank you to all involved.

Hi there Clive,
Thank you so much for such a generous and detailed review.
It truly means a lot that you recognised not just the installation itself, but the teamwork behind the scenes that made it happen. While we always aim for everything to run perfectly to plan, we’re especially proud of how the team responded when the unexpected arose — pulling together quickly to find solutions and keep your project moving forward.
I’m glad that both I and the wider team were able to help and support you throughout the process. Your patience and understanding during the inverter change and app update were greatly appreciated, and we’re delighted to hear the system has been performing exactly as it should since installation.
Thank you again for your trust and your kind words about the whole team. We’re grateful for the opportunity to work with you and would be absolutely delighted to support you again in the future. If there's anything else we can help you with, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

No pressure sale, and quick smooth service
Had my system fitted yesterday 11/02/26, looks exactly as illustrated and only took the day to install!
Ash came out to quote us and explain the process. He is very straight forward didn’t try to over sell the product at all. Really good guy, didn’t pressure us at all, easy to talk to and obviously knows his job very well.
The fitters on the day where very good, kept the place tidy and were patient with our situation as we had to move animals around and it can get quite a busy house at times.
Overall the company are very good, paperwork (email) is very quick and easy to navigate.
Thank you

Dissapointed
If you look at solar panel installations, large or small you will notice that all the panels are identical on any installation and match one another.
Sadly I engaged Rest UK to supply and fit solar panels, on completion I paid in full as requested but complained that the panels were not all the same.
This installation is on the front aspect of a bungalow with a low roof as you approach the bungalow you can see that the panels are not all the same, it looks awful.
I have no issue with the workers who carried out the work, as they can only fit the parts supplied.
I first contacted the sales person who had promised to be so helpful if there were any issues which would be easy as he lives locally, he simply referred me back to the company.
I then spoke with the company sales manager who assured me that after a few weeks after the panels had gone through a number of cycles they would all match so not to worry.
I waited several weeks before getting back to him but there has been no miraculous change in the awful appearance, after a lengthy conversation he accused me of harassing him and referred me to their installation team.
The installation team was no help at all and has refused to rectify this defect which would never have happened had they exercised some customer care and simply checked that all the panels matched and were from the same batch.
So in summary if you want a mismatched panel installation by a company that lies to you then use Rest UK.

Hi John,
Solar panels that are part of different manufactured batches will have a slightly different appearance, and each panel can reflect light in a slightly different way. This does not indicate any problem or flaw with the panels and is a normal variance in the manufacturing process. While some "levelling out" of the panel can occur after some wear, there's no guarantee that. it will settle to an identical hue to the rest of the panels.
There is no guarantee of a perfectly matching full set of panels, and even if they were to be replaced, there's no guarantee the replacement panels would match the others either.

Hi there,
We’re sorry for the frustration this caused. As explained during the initial booking call, all appointments must be confirmed the day prior. Unfortunately, we were unable to reach you despite multiple attempts, and confirmation was not received. A return call was made approximately 40 minutes before the scheduled time, which is not feasible as our reps are already assigned to confirmed appointments by then. This process is outlined clearly at the time of booking and is outside our control. We appreciate your feedback and wish you the best moving forward.

Absolute delight to deal with
Yeah i decided to go with rest and after a little mix up at the begging i am very satisfied with the service and after service, firstly from the start they are fully explaining everthing and even have it all scrutinised buy a separate external company to validate the claims they are putting forwards to me are true so thats great an extra layer of security for your investment. And secondly after service, they are there at the drop of a hat explaining in detail exsactly whats needed to set your system up best to suit your exact needs i mean couldnt if asked first more. I am going to mention one negative and that is they contacted me too much trying to resolve an issue that arose it was way to much and i felt left hand didn’t know what right hand was doing at that moment in time but must be said quickly resolved and great service from there. Michael in particular is able to guide you step buy step and is very knowledgeable. Overall very happy and the guys that fitted my system were absolutely lovly real genuine decent guys and thats all you want and scaffolders were absolutely brilliant and i actualy requested mine taken down very quickly as it was mostly on my neighbours property and-it was down two days later

Deceptive and threatening behaviour.
They did not give the appropriate and relevant information but just keen to get your signature on the agreement. They threatened me to sign the completion otherwise refused to remove the scaffolding and commission the system. Despite many emails and phone calls the installation is still not completed and checked to satisfaction. They mentioned items as been installed without actually installing them. With the 11 penals installed I am not getting even one kwh generation. I will be taking the matter further. Be careful.

Antwoord van REST
Hi Raj,
Your system was fully installed and working at the time of the request to sign the satisfaction note.
Unfortunately, you expected us to be able to dismantle your scaffolding on the same day as the solar system was installed, which is logistically impractical, given the large volume of other scaffolding work our partners have to do.
Your system is installed across 3 roof aspects, meaning that, in winter months, it's output will be more impacted than a single south facing roof, for example. This is why your system generation is currently quite low.
I have reviewed your monitoring, and can see the system is fully up and running, including an overnight charge setting you have implemented. As such, you are currently being powered purely by your solar & battery system at the time of writing this reply.
After reviewing your contract, I can also see that everything that you ordered has been installed however, If you have any specific concerns, please reach out via email or phone call.
Kindest regards,
