GESS Renewables Reviews 21

Absolutely thrilled with our solar + battery install today! The system’s already humming and producing, and Harrison (sales rep) was amazing, clear, patient, no pressure, and he actually explained everything in plain English for a novice, he is very intelligent with all things renewable, Crew was tidy, and left us confident about running it all. Highly recommend, and ask for Harrison! 5 star!

We had an excellent experience with GESS — the whole process was incredibly quick and efficient. RICHARD came out to give us a quote (with couple surveys), and GESS came out interesting and cheapest with the most panels. Best of all, they were able to install the following week after the signed documents (in the coldest day of November).
They handled everything: application was sorted quickly, scaffolding went up without a hitch. The team came over to do the survey and took the time to walk us through exactly how the system would work, which really helped build our confidence in the setup.
Richard and all the team was brilliant throughout — always quick to respond, really knowledgeable, and happy to answer all our questions. The installation itself was seamless.
Great service, great communication, and a really smooth experience from start to finish. That’s GESS Highly recommended!

After 4 Quotes for solar and battery Gess were by far the cheapest so initially it did raise a red flag, I need not have worried the service I received for this company was exceptional from the initial consultation with Harrison then right the way through the insulation process.
Communication was great I was kept informed of the process throughout, scaffolding, certification and installation.
On the day of installation the fitters arrived on time and went through the fitting of the system all the time making sure I was happy with the location of the equipment and the cable runs and finally spending time running me through both the App on my phone and the battery system.
Finally I would just like to say a massive thank you to Gess for making my solar experience a seamless and enjoyable one, all your staff have been so helpful and are a credit to your company.
Would I recommend you to my friends 100 percent.
Many Thanks
Bradley.

Despite the installation going more or less to plan, since then their service has dropped off a cliff. It took over a month for snagging to be completed and two months later there has been no handover. Despite assurances of an annual service, and repeated emails on that subject none is forthcoming. I would think very hard before committing to them for works.

First class service from the GESS team from start to finish ! Panels and Tesla Powerwall linked to Octopus is a perfect combination! Thoroughly recommended. Call them now !

The communication from Gess was easy and efficient, and the arrangements were clear. The installation was quick, and the installers were friendly, knowledgeable and informative. I was really pleased with the whole experience, and the system appears to be delivering the results I wanted. Early indication is that I will get payback for my investment within 8 years

I had both Solar Panels and ASHP installed. First the solar panels inverter and battery were fitted followed by the ASHP which required a replacement of some radiators and some new ones to meet the heat survey. All trades worked well together and as promised we were only with hot water and heating for half a day. I would highly recommend this Company as the sales and office support was as good as the technical phase

A very good service and installation by GESS the whole team from the office to the install where great
Would highly recommend Gess where not the cheapest quote , but delivered what we wanted to perfection .we felt very comfortable using a company with 13 years experience

Good communication throughout my experience. Always ready to answer any questions after installation. Very happy with this company would recommend.

I had a terrible experience with Green Eco Solar Solution (GESS) regarding my solar panel and Tesla Powerwall 3 installation. GESS provided a quote, which I accepted, and I paid a £500 deposit. I made it very clear that the council had revoked permitted development rights for new developments, meaning I needed to obtain planning permission. GESS agreed to wait for this. The contract was signed, and I was assured it was legally binding. A technical survey was conducted twice, and I was informed that everything was in order. Once I secured planning permission, GESS was unable to schedule the installation until February 2025.

Then, in January 2025, they claimed that the quoted price was subject to change at any time and that they could no longer proceed at the originally agreed price.

Despite the agreed quote, completed site surveys, signed contract, and deposit payment, GESS attempted to impose additional charges outside the contract. When I refused, they unilaterally cancelled my installation and refunded my deposit without my consent—an outright breach of contract. Communication was poor, with long delays and ignored emails. My Tesla account now shows two Powerwall 3 units registered under my name, adding further complications. This is completely unacceptable, and after escalating the matter, I received the following response from GESS:

"Site surveys had identified increases in works required for your system, including ridge work, panel orientation and design, along with scaffolding requirements."

I would not recommend this company due to their lack of professionalism and integrity.

Excellent service. Installed solar panels and battery. Workers were very efficient and nice people. I do recommend this company. Nice to do business with pleasant and accommodating people!

I've been looking for solar for almost two years and in that time I have seen the price go up and creep down. I never pulled the trigger as every single supplier never made the effort to come and visit us. Getting fed up with map surveys and online quotes on portals that don't load. I contacted Tesla directly for a Powerwall and solar, they put me in touch with Gess. Gess were different. Harrison, called me instantly and arranged a visit. We spoke about our unique requirements. As we install Building Automation systems (Loxone) we had a Loxone system in our property we wanted to integrate with our solar and had very specific requirements on the equipment we wanted to use, the location of the installed equipment and connectivity. Marlin (Gess' expert electrician) came and visited our site and made a brilliant unique plan to meet all our requirements, the whole team from Gess really went out of their way to accommodate us. The install happened over a couple of days, the lads were neat, tidy and very courteous. we've had our solar now for approximately 5 months (it's already saving us money on the utility bills) they still check in on us to ensure things are ok. I would happily recommend them over anyone else. I 'Gess' it speaks for itself if Tesla recommends them too.

Tesla Powerwall install
A really professional approach, providing useful advice
on the whole domestic energy system (ASHPs, EVs, solar panels and tariffs). This has helped significantly reduce my energy bills & carbon footprint, using a staged-approach to ensure cost effectiveness.

After purchasing out electric car we needed a suitable home charger. We had used GESS a few years earlier to carry out a solar installation and service was excellent. As they already knew the system, they discussed how they could integrate the charger in with the solar. Price was competitive and service very professional. Installation was again prompt, clean and all cables tidy. Integration with the solar was seamless and we have been enjoying the benefits over the summer.

I have used GESS on 2 occasions now. Initially in 2017 to install solar panels and a powerwall 2, and most recently another powerwall 2 and a new gateway system that now allows me to charge the powerwalls overnight on cheap rate when needed.
I found the whole experience really pleasant. The workmen were prompt, approachable and their work was clean and tidy.

When i have called up, wether it is for advice or problems they offer a great service, it is reassuring to know they are monitoring my system 24/7 to check for problems and identifying them before i need to call.

Had a great experience with Gess, installation for my solar and Tesla battery went smoothly, and scaffolding taken down as fast as it went up. Also recommended my family to have solar and they have since had their installation too.

The Tesla Powerwall 2 was very professionally installed by GESS and has been running since May faultlessly. The gateway is completely silent and the switch overs to and from the battery are unnoticeable. The whole system works perfectly and is easy to see on my iPhone exactly what is happening. Would highly recommend.

Gess Renewables installed solar panels for me, and a battery a year later. They were friendly and easy to deal with and have been very helpful in following up any issues. I was glad to have found them, because they gave me far better advice than some other installers I contacted, and they are a genuine and trustworthy company.

We have had a Solar PV system plus a Tesla Powerwall installed by Gess. I can’t fault the service that we have received throughout the purchase experience. From initial informal conversations at the warehouse, the site appraisal followed by the installation of both aspects of the project, we were treated in a friendly and professional manner throughout. The engineers, on both visits, took away all of the rubbish and swept up after they had completed their respective installations. Very happy with the service and would be pleased to recommend them to friends and family.
