CS Electrical & Renewables - Newquay

We initially had solar installed by another Cornish company around 18 months ago and sadly it was a terrible experience. We discovered the installation was so poor that it didn’t even comply with the manufacturer’s warranty, and in the end, after 4 months of pursuing them, the whole system was removed. It was a very cumbersome and stressful time that involved navigating our way through an industry that we didn’t know.

We then got in touch with Chris Selby, from CS Electrical and Renewables, a local solar installer and the difference was incredible. From the very first visit he was professional, honest, and it was evident he had the technical knowledge. Chris took the time to explain everything properly, designed a system that was suitable for our home and needs, and carried out the installation with care and attention to detail. We also received a handover pack, something we had never received from the first solar installer.

The end result is fantastic — everything is neat, works perfectly, and most importantly, it’s been done to the proper standard so we finally have peace of mind. Chris completed the install himself, with no subbing of work / third parties involved. After such a bad start with our first install, we honestly couldn’t be happier with the work Chris has carried out.

We highly recommend Chris to anyone considering having PV installed.

Chris arrived to fit my solar panels and quickly established I need a roof replacement first as my roof was past it’s sell by date showing me pictures of the state of my tiles. My installation was put off until my roof was replaced, Chris could have gone ahead and fitted my panels without telling me about the roof which in the long term would have been much more expensive. After the roof was replaced Chris returned with his team and fitted my panels without telling me top quality materials minimal fuss, very neat, thorough and tidy and then explained how the app worked. I would recommend CS electrical to anyone.

Chris and his team installed our system at the beginning of the summer. For a period of time we were completely off grid, showing that the calculations regarding consumption and the correct sized system were correct.

From the initial query to the order and during installation communication was good, keeping us updated on delivery progress (we knew that there were extended lead times on the panels and more so on the battery) and handover when the system was live.

Overall, a great service and communication which has helped put us in a strong position given the increasing energy costs.

Chris installed our solar installation and honestly, I could not recommend him and his team enough. Very punctual, polite and knowledgeable. Extremely fast and tidy workers. Will 100% use in future for any further electrical works

Chris is an exceedingly talented Electrical Engineer, with an eye for detail, efficiency of the pv system he is supplying, and the aesthetic impact of the installation on the house. I am delighted with Chris’ recommendation of the optimal system for our unusual needs. I highly recommend him.

Chris installed our new solar panels and battery system in Newquay. We are delighted with his work. He is a very tidy worker and has clearly taken much care with the installation. He was very patient during the quotation process; was continually available to answer our questions and at no time did we feel any pressure to place an order. The system installed works as anticipated and Chris continues to be available to answer any questions. Just wish we had done it sooner! Really pleased and can highly recommed Chris.

Chris and his team installed Solar Panels, battery and car charger for me this week, a really professional top notch job.

I'm delighted with seeing the electricity generation and battery storage on the app on my phone - it's quite addictive to see the system operating in real time! We're already generating 2/3rds of our electricity on day 1 after install, and it's been a thunderstorm with no sun!

If you're thinking about solar power I would highly recommend Chris to do your install 👍

Brilliant service from Chris. We provided a budget for a Solar Installation and he came up with some options for us. Explained what was best and why for our property.

The install was done quickly, on time and they were very professional throughout and we are very happy with the end result.

Would highly recommend Chris and CS Electrical - super service.
