Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 82 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers report significant difficulties in contacting the company, with emails and messages going unanswered, and phone numbers often leading nowhere. This lack of communication extends to customer service, where people express frustration over unreturned calls and a general inability to get assistance or explanations for ongoing issues. Reviewers also frequently mention problems with payments, with many experiencing delays or a complete stop in receiving their expected funds. Though some customers initially received payments promptly, the situation deteriorated for many after changes in payment methods, leading to an inability to withdraw funds or update banking details. A few other people also felt that the product itself, particularly the SmartMiner, had issues, with concerns raised about its functionality and the transparency of information regarding its underlying technology.

Rowan Rewards do not affect any subsidies or feed-in tariffs you are already paid.

Great Tech Support Activity !!

I was very pleasantly surprised to find that a tech support service for the energy industry surpassed all my expectations of quality !!
Rowan Energy’s support person (Claire) was extremely helpful, responsive, knowledgeable and polite throughout the entire support process. She was a real breath of fresh air compared to other companies with which I have had to deal at other times.
Also, the tech support engineer who came to my house to re-connect and check the systems (Hallam) was thorough, very knowledgeable, resourceful and polite.
I can totally recommend Rowan Energy’s support team as a valued, respectable, polite and very knowledgeable group of people !!

My experience of Rowan's customer…

My experience of Rowan's customer service positively escalated after I wrote a fairly bad-tempered email about issues I was having. The issues were not of Rowan’s making but started after I upgraded my solar system. I was called by Claire the Customer Service Manager and she explained the situation, suggested a solution and I am full on mining again. First class 🙏👏🙌

Outstanding service

I've been dealing with Claire over one or two problems with my recent solar installation. These were entirly my fault. Having dealt with many companies online my experience has, at best, usually led to a sense of frustration. By comparison Claire has been outstanding. She answered emails efficiently and rapidly sorted out my problems. I was amazed..in a very good way! Thank you.

Had my smart miner installed for a number of months now after ESE installed my Solar panels along side it.
During the installation i was told if i wanted to install use the UPS function of my inverter for my server rack (from battery storage) i could just wire up the UPS to a socket... so i did

This has resulted in Rowan energy's portal showing minus figures that remove points from my account:
Date kWh Points
26/08/2024 -13.99 -135
08/07/2024 -24.30 -233

Upon contacting them as asking, i was interstitially refunded these points while it was being investigated. Someone came out, tool a look and said it needed an update that they could do remotely.

Then i got an email asking if the UPS connection installation was installed by a professional and for a certificate of installation

Seems like a cop out to me and would/will not be recommanding them

Update 30/09/24
As per the original post i was asked for an installation certificate despite being advised that i can install my self this is all in the email chain between myself and the support email

Dear Jonny
This is Paula, Rowan Energy's COO. There appears to be a miscommunication here that I'm keen to address; the perspective from our end is that your investigation resulted in the discovery that you had had a UPS system fitted subsequently to the original SmartMiner Installation, of which we were unaware. The SmartMiner device is in its first phase of roll out as a world leading product, and its compatibility varies according to the construction of the PV array.
The later addition of the UPS to your system requires us to receive certain information from you that we have requested previously, but that we do not appear to have received (please do let me know if this information is incorrect). We require this information to be able to understand the impact that that change to your system has had to the monitoring activity of the SmartMiner.
I would invite you to please pick up the existing email thread via our support@rowanenergy.com service directly as we do remain aware of your issue but need your co-operation to proceed and to be able to make an assessment and deliver a remedial solution at the appropriate time. Our team works incredibly hard to deliver a great customer service to all Rowan Rewards Customers, so it will remain our priority to ensure any situations such as this are resolved positively.
With very best wishes
Paula Jago

New dashboard - fixed, all working well

UPDATE
My opinion has been revised to reflect the excellent technical support and resolution to the issues raised below.
I had a very polite and informative e-mail from technical suppot explaining the software issue they had when introducing a new dashboard.
Everything is now back to normal and I have therefore re-instated my 5* rating.

Rowan Rewards recently updated their user dashboard. Some users had an issue with the points being recorded incorrectly. Now fixed
