So our solar panels stopped sending to the grid. The installation solar panel company tried charging over £300 to come out and look at it then and £600 for parts that need fixing on line.

For a just over a quarter of that price Tavern Solar came out diagnosed the problem, ordered the replacement part, which was under manufactures warranty and fixed the problem.

I would highly recommend this honest company

Great service, highly recommended

Great service, highly recommended and we'd definitely use Tarven again. We got in touch with Jake to organise the relocating of some of our solar panels due to building work. Jake was quick to respond to my enquiry and the team sent to do the work were helpful and professional. Fred in particular was brilliant even though it poured with rain the whole time he worked. We did encounter a small issue which I raised with Jake, he dealt with it quickly and politely and the job was finished to our total satisfaction.

Excellent Customer Service

I have used Tarven solar energy on 2 occaisions now and both times the customer service has been outstanding.
The 1st was to install an additional storage battery and EPS circuit to a pre existing system and now the 2nd to fault find and replace my inverter under warranty.
The speed of service and knowledge of my system was very comforting and would highly recommend them to my friends.
My thanks go to Jake and the team.

🌟 Outstanding Service from Tarven Solar Energy – Highly Recommended! 🌟
We recently had the pleasure of working with Tarven Solar Energy, led by Jake Syrocki, for the installation of solar panels and a Tesla battery system at our home in Orpington—and the experience was nothing short of exceptional.
From the very first consultation, Jake and his team demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, kindness, and courtesy. They were always on time, stuck to the programme, and maintained clear communication throughout the project. It was especially appreciated how considerate they were toward our neighbours, ensuring parking and access were handled with thoughtfulness and respect.
The installation itself was carried out with precision and care, including some internal work inside the house. The team—particularly Rob and Max—were not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly and approachable. Nothing was ever too much trouble; their attitude was always, “everything can be solved,” and they truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect.
They left the site immaculate, completed the project on time, and provided all the necessary certificates promptly. Even after the installation, when I mentioned that the app wasn’t connecting properly, Jake personally came by the very next day to check the system and resolve the issue—an example of their unmatched aftercare and dedication.
Tarven Solar Energy is a family-friendly, trustworthy company that delivers top-quality work with a personal touch. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering solar energy solutions.
Thank you, Jake, Rob, Max, and the whole team!

My wife bought a ceiling fan despite the fact I had not clue how to put it up. I contacted Tarven who installed it for us, moved the original ceiling light to another room, and checked the wiring on my EV charger all in a morning’s work. The work was completed to a high standard, and I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Tarven previously fitted our solar panels which have been great over the past 3 years. We have also used the company for other occasional electrical jobs and have always found that they just get on and do the job in a reliable manner …highly recommended

I took a punt on Tarven solar from an ad on the Google page. One of best decisions I've made. Nothing was impossible, when Jake came out to do the survey. They run a very efficient competent company, time scale was very quick. They installed an 8 panel solar system and an EV charge point at the same time, which was what I wanted, all in a couple of day's, they were also a lot cheaper than other quotes that I had, especially Octopus, my energy supplier, without skimping on quality. So I don't have any hesitation in giving a 5 star rating.

Excellent service

I called Tavern Solar Energy on Sat 28th June anticipating leaving a message, so completely surprised when my call was answered by Chris, Chris asked me to take pictures of my system and e mail across, then Jake, (his son) would e mail me a quote. On 2nd July I received the quote, which I accepted, installation was arranged for 10th July. Zak and his colleague arrived at the agreed time, and my two Growatt batteries were installed. Zac also gave me a tutorial on the app (which was never covered by the installation company and no follow up either).

Tarven is a top installer!

I got a solar panels system + battery installed from Tarven.

I think that Excellent is probably the right word to describe Tarven in all aspects!!

They gave me lots of inputs when I was exploring the options at the beginning.
Then they matched all my requirements when I got the offer (others were recommending other options despite my requests or just abandoned me) and they kindly sent me a follow up at the time I asked.
The installation was exactly on time and they did a great job, working in a way that made us really happy.
Everything was tidy and clean when they finished.
I got all documents and explanations about how to proceed with a couple of things in the admin.
And Jake is really responsive and always available for questions and support!!
Finally, the price I paid is fair.
And my system is great!

They are a relatively small family business, but trust me when I say that I rarely experienced such a good service from a contractor, so I strongly recommend Tarven.

Thanks for everything Jake and Team!!

Supply and fit EV charger - no fuss

Tarven helped me to install an EV charger. I chose this company as I was very impressed with their professionalism, knowledge and quality of work from an earlier experience. You will be in safe hands. They will supply and fit.

Re-installation of solar panels

We used Tarvern Solar to help us with our existing solar panels that needed moving to allow us to do a loft conversion. Jake was so helpful, walking us through different options (e.g. replacing the existing panels or upgrading to new ones) & the pros and cons and costs of each. Communication was great, and the team always arrived promptly and tidied up after themselves. Jake was so helpful and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tarven Solar or use them again.

This is my second review of Tarven

This is my second review of Tarven. Initially they installed an EV charger for me. The process was smooth and customer service fantastic. Since then, they have changed light fittings and trouble shot on underfloor heating, recently they came out very quickly to fix a burning fuse. I have every confidence in their knowledge and am grateful for the speedy help in an emergency. It’s great to have a reliable ‘go to’ number in my phone when needed.

If only I had gone to Tarven Electrical to start with. I had a BIG problem with original solar and battery installers supplying MCS cert but no DNO paperwork, two years in fact for MCS.
Got in touch with Tarven who arrange a retrospective application in the space of just a few days.
Could not fault their professionalism, efficiency of communications. Would highly recommend.

Tarven really helped us out

Jake helped us out when the existing panels on a flat roof had moved in the wind. It turned out we also had roof problems so he had to dismantle the solar set up and then return to reinstall which he did at short notice. The new mounting system is much more secure and at the correct angle.
