ASK Renewables Ltd - Barnsley

Craig Grandison

I obtained several quotes for a Solar PV System, however Ask Renewables was one of the few that actually wanted to come out and do a site visit. Their surveyor Matt visited and discussed at length my options and the costings involved, he then went away and produced some full written proposals for me to decide on. These were left with me, with no pressure to buy etc. having compared the quotes and services provided, I had no hesitation in opting for Ask Renewables, their service was far superior and the quote very reasonable. The process of getting National Grid approval etc was then completed and a fitting date agreed. On the fitting day the team of two arrived and efficiently set about the process of installing the system, both were efficient and friendly. Within 5 or 6 hours the system was fully installed and fully working. Within a few days the commissioning pack and certificates arrived. Ask Renewables were professional throughout and gave a service second to none and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

I contacted Ask Renewables after being recommended by my friend who had also had Ask to fit their panels. I was already in the process of buying batteries from another supplier but I am so glad that I swapped to Ask. Tom from Ask came around and discussed my requirements, and it was quickly obvious that the other company were overcharging for what I needed. I should say that English is not my first language so it was great that Tom was able to talk me through the process and clearly describe what I needed and what would happen.

We placed our order, and the installation team from Ask was brilliant, but that isn't where things ended. Tom and Samantha supported me through the process of getting set up with Octopus and switching over from my previous supplier so that I got the best from my system. It has been running now for several months and Tom and Samantha are always on hand if I have any questions. I would highly recommend this company to anyone.

Ask installed our solar panels and batteries a year ago. We were very happy with their speed, efficiency and the quality of work. Since installing they have continued to support us, ensuring we are making the most of the system and changes to electricity tariffs. I couldn't be happier with every aspect of the service and I would recommend the company to anyone wanting solar panels.

I was unable to find a local plumber to service my solar thermal panels. I found ASKrenewables on Checkatrade and they have been excellent from start to finish. Adam, the owner, answered all my initial questions and was clear about the costs. Claire efficiently arranged for the plumber to visit. Danny carried out the service and replaced the parts needed in the most cost effective way. I would definitely recommend them and use them again myself.

Ask Renewables was recommended by my brother who recently had a Solar system installed by them.
Tom came round to do a survey and subsequently provided me a quote. Absolutely no pressure selling and I considered the price good value.
On acceptance of the quote the office called to arrange a suitable installation date. Scaffolding was delivered a couple of days in advance to allow my builder to move some bathroom extraction vents from the roof.
Installation was smooth and the electrician was very accommodating by taking time to route solar panel cables via a void in the house wall.
Karyn and Samantha, in the office, were very quick and helpful processing the relevant documents.
I am over the moon with the installation. 6kW panels and 12kWh battery storage.
Even in December with low sun, the panels can generate well beyond 3kW. Batteries can also be fully charged using the cheaper Octopus Flux night-time rate. Then I use the batteries to hel power the house through the day.
I highly recommend Ask Renewables. A great company to do business with.

We decided to explore the world of all thing solar a couple of years ago having just bought our first EV. Finding an installer proved to be a challenge so we decided to put the whole project on the back burner. Recently we became aware that a close friend had had quite an extensive system installed by ASK Renewables so we decided to approach them for a quotation. The whole experience from first contact to installation was first rate. The surveyor explained everything in detail, in simple layman’s terms; the resultant quotation was very detailed showing equipment to be installed and projected payback period. The three man installation team arrived on time and got straight to work. The whole installation of 14 panels, Inverter, two batteries, ancillary equipment and associated cabling took just four hours. Before we knew it the system was connected to our home WIFI and as quick as that we were up and running. The inverter and batteries are installed in the loft area which is not used as habitable space with isolation switches and import/export meter mounted on the wall of the loft stairs the over side of the wall from the inverter making the whole installation extremely neat and tidy . We think the team did a brilliant job and they obviously took pride in their workmanship. Before leaving the electrician showed us how to operate/monitor the system using the LUX app. We are now benefitting from reduced bills and solar energy meeting our normal daily consumption on most days.
Would I highly recommend ASK Renewables.

I contacted Ask Renewables for a quotation for solar panels, plus battery storage because of its "Which? Trusted Traders" status. I wasn't disappointed. Every aspect of the service provided was top class: initial email/telephone communication; quality of advice during the initial survey; follow-up communication; efficiency of installation (10 panels plus battery storage all in one day); after-sales support (I had a few technical questions about the app).
I was so impressed with my initial contact, survey and quote that I didn't even bother to get a quotation from another company.
8 months on I'm really happy with the installation. There have been no problems and I'm saving a significant amount of money in terms of electricity costs. I wish I'd done it years ago.
I've arranged for additional battery storage to be added later this month so that my savings will be even greater this year.
TIP: Pay extra for micro-inverters and go for the maximum battery storage.

Absolutely recommend Ask Renewables Ltd for solar and battery installations, I had a great experience with them and all the team.

First impressions when Matt came out to survey were very positive and much better than other companies who came out. I got 3 quotes from different companies and nothing wrong with any of them, just felt happier with Ask overall.

Once I decided to choose them to do my solar panels and battery install, I was informed every step of the way so that this went smoothly.

The installers and roofing team were great as well, just nice people and professional work standards and a job well done.

All paperwork was provided to ensure I have everything I need.

The install was only done in June 2023 and I've had no problems, but I've spoken to or emailed the team on several occasions and got a prompt response to answer any questions.

If you're looking at a solar project, consider Ask Renewables and get them round to quote!
