27.03.2022 We realised the solar panels were failing to generate around the beginning of March and emailed the original installers of the system (who we thought were good ) on the 6th March when we received no response I started looking for alternatives and found Red Electrical, I was impressed by the web site and the amount of information available, so we ordered a new inverter on the 9th March which arrived on the 11th March, I fitted it which took around one hour fixing the new bracket and re-wiring the AC plug as it was getting dark left it until the next day to switch on and it worked fine. The data logger was more problematic my wife and I seem to be able to sort most things out between us but we did struggle with this. on following the instructions you get to a page which fails to appear on our phones or computers but we got there and can now see information on the phones, for some reason the Solis Home site is a bit hit and miss with data been difficult to set and hold, the date on my phone is correct but my wife’s is saying 1968 and changing the currency from CNY to GBP was odd but now seems to be correct. We are grateful for all the information from Red Electrical when reading I noticed Stuarts comment about not wanting other electricians meddling with his electrics in relation to car charging, I can relate to that comment with some of the work we have tried to have done here by other people in the past and the appalling standard which is considered acceptable, we are still waiting for a reply from the original PV installers!read more

Stuart and his team completed a 3.3kwh Solar Panel installation on our house in 1 day. A single row of 9 panels high up near the ridge minimised shadow from adjacent house first thing in a morning. The black panels blend in very nicely with our roof. The battery & inverter installation in the garage are extremely neat. Stuart worked extremely hard, respected our house & took pride in his work.read more

I requested Stuart to provide information and quotes etc for PV and storage battery installation. Stuart provided some detailed information as to assumptions of power generation and was very helpful in discussing options available. I decided to proceed with Red Electrical. Stuart and his team installed 20 PV panels, inverter and Tesla power wall in one day. Very impressive. I write this review 5 years after installation and can confirm that all is well and good with the equipment installed. The power projections provided have proved to be accurate, within acceptable tolerances anyway, and the few niggles that incurred shortly after installation were soon sorted out by Stuart. These giggles were mainly inverter software upgrade requirements. Highly recommended.read more

5.8Kw Longi panels installed by RE end of March. Had a minor inverter problem that was sorted remotely within minutes! Estimated production for April May and June was 640KW each month, getting closer to 800KW. Extremely impressive. Tesla battery installed by RE mid July. Lovely, neat job again and has exceeded my expectations. What drove me to use Stuart was the excellent communication via email and he actually listened to my exact requirements. Other companies tried to sell me what they had or knew about only and wouldn't spec an inverter over the 3.6kw DNO application limit. Due to zero shading, optimisers or micro inverters weren't needed and comparing my solar production to other youtubers was indeed more than the correct decision. The pigeon barrier is a godsend and a total must for any solar installation!! Thankyou Stuart!read more

I can only say good things about the whole process from start to finish from the friendly initial contact to the final paperwork with all the the test checks, installation warranties and certificates needed. Stuart installed a PV and Tesla battery system for us he gave us good no nonsense advice about the scale and performance of the installation. His workmanship was first class, turned up when he said he would, worked neatly, quickly and effectively. Can't be more pleased and would highly recommend to family and friends.read more

He continues to monitor the solar edge portal online to check our system is running smoothly. A great service. Highly recommended.read more

A quick google search brought us to Stuart and through the lockdown, not the best of times but still Stuart was able to come and from a distance across our garden and via many emails back and forward offer us a solar pv system with Tesla battery storage. He wasn’t pushy or didn’t try any cheap sales tactics on us it was an offer and plenty of time for us to mull over without being pushed. Perfect frankly. From the start and questions and advice it was clear Stuart is passionate about solar and not just a salesman who promises you the Earth. He quoted us for a job and it was exactly as specified and on the day the work was tidy and very prompt with all waste removed or neatly stacked for recycling. Very pleased with the install and looking at previous reviews of Stuart and his company it’s clear the after sales support is as good as the install service. Thanks Stuart to you and your team 👍read more

Would we buy from RED Electrical again; YES definitely particular if Stuart is there to resolve any complications. Thoroughly recommended!read more

I contacted Stuart at Red Eelctrical yesterday morning to order a replacement Solis 3kw 4g dual MPPT inverter and Data stick. Both arrived at 10.00am this morning. Following their downloaded instructions I removed the old Aurora, fitted the Solis completed the hookup with a new cable from the 240v isolator switch, fitted the data stick and powered up successfully and logged in to the data stream on my PC and all done by 12.pm.

Was in need of a replacement Inverter (my Aurora Power One died of an E031 error). Contacted RED Electrical, and was recommended, by Stuart, a Solis inverter as replacement. After delays in delivery, of which Stuart kept me apprised by phone / text. Unit received 17/04. Having previously removed the dead inverter in preparation, it took just under an hour from un-packing the inverter to it being on the wall and working. No special skills required. N.B. the Solis requires an external earthing point which the Aurora didn't.read more

My Inverter failed over the Easter weekend. I came across Red Electrical through a web search and fired off an email. Stuart replied very quickly to my questions, helped me with some good advice on diagnosis. I decided to go with his recommendation on a new inverter and installed it myself (it really is a DIY job. I'd class myself as moderately competent but absolutely not an expert). I placed my order in the evening and the new unit was dispatched next day.read more

We had our solar system fitted in September 2015 but wanted to see how it went for a few months before leaving a review. Oops, 4 1/2 years later I've finally gotten round to it but at least I can give an idea of what you can expect. Over the last 4 years we've generated 3.28 to 3.48 Mwh per year on a 4 kW system. From the outset, Stuart was brilliant. Professional, friendly and very knowledgeable about solar generation. He really stood out as someone with an electrical background rather than a salesman from a roofing company who'd decided to cash in on a growing market. He explained all the options, respective costs, pros/cons etc... so we could be confident in our choices. No patronising, "I could explain but it would be meaningless to you" attitude or downright lies about longevity or electricity savings, unlike the other companies I got round to quote. He and his work buddy turned up on time and pretty much got the whole installation in a day, leaving everything tidy when they left. Apart from the panels on the roof, you wouldn't even know they'd been there. Whilst I'm obviously impressed with Red Electrical, you can only tell how good a company is by their aftercare and here Stuart has excelled. He monitored the system for the first few months to ensure it was working as expected and when I contacted him about changing my router, he responded quickly with easy to follow instructions and offer of further assistance if I struggled. Then in 2018 I noticed one of the panels had stopped registering any output. I emailed Stuart who diagnosed a faulty optimiser, got a replacement from the manufacturer and replaced it with a few days without any fuss or drama. In summary, I've never regretted getting the solar PV panels installed and feel very lucky that we found Stuart to do the installation. Highly recommended.read more

Great help even though I never contacted you! Our Aurora based system stopped working recently and a web search led me to redelectrical. The clear advice and helpful approach had taken me to the stage where I was wondering if I could convince them to venture outside Lancashire [I live in East Lothian] and come and look at our problem. But the real benefit was the section about Inverter warranty being different to installation warranty AND the telephone number for ABB which I had spent hours trying to trace. A simple photo of the label and a call to ABB has lead to them identifying an inverter fault and organised a free replacement installation! I wish that I could have put some work your way as I am confident if you are this helpful online then you would be first class in instalation. Good luck for the future and thanks again.read more

Stuart came along to survey where we wanted to put the Tesla battery and was knowledgeable and explained the process simply so that we retired folks could understand! His price was thousands less than another local company. He kept in touch until the battery was available and set a date to fit it. He was prompt and just lovely.

Had the error code come up on my Aurora inverter the one that makes it terminal...……..oh deep joy I thought. After much research I came across Red Electrical and saw on their website it was possible to change an inverter yourself. After a chat with Stuart I felt quite confident in undertaking the task. I found him to be a very genuine and helpful man. I purchased a Solis 3.6 inverter with a data logging stick and for peace of mind an extended warranty. It arrived next day and I fitted it with no problem at all. The logging stick proved to be a problem and took a little longer but a call to Stuart next day he very quickly opened an account for me to reach the required software and the problem was solved in no time. I have no hesitation in recommending Red Electrical as a company and cannot praise Stuart highly enough for his knowledge and efficiency. Well done!!read more

I found RED Electrical when my Solar PV inverter had died and the system stopped working. I spoke to three other companies who wanted over £1000 to come and diagnose the fault then fix it. However Stuart's website simply described in clear language just how straightforward it is to buy an inverter and do it myself, at half the price. I placed the order Sunday, received the inverter Tuesday and had it installed and generating Within 45 minutes. Essentially if you can lift the Inverter, drive in three screws, and install a plug, you can do this. Great no-nonsense service which I have already recommended to friends who have Solar PV.read more

When our existing solar inverter packed up Stuart not only recommended a good, well-priced replacement but assured me I could easily change it myself—which I did, saving me the cost of paying an installer.

More than three years ago a friend, who is an environmental consultant, told us that our roof was south facing and therefore was ideal for solar panels. When building work was planned, to adapt and extend the house, we decided this was an opportunity to install solar panels and a battery to store any excess electricity which was in excess to the power being used by the house during the day. Red Electrical was recommended during a chance conversation, and we decided to go with them. Throughout the installation of both the panels and the Tesla Powerwall battery we have been highly impressed with Stuart’s knowledge of the installation process and his ability to deal with any arising issues (which were minimal in number). Both the panels and the Powerwall worked from the very beginning and thanks to the apps it was obvious from the very beginning that the panels and the Powerwall were making a difference (in the summer a big difference) in terms of a reduction in the amount of electricity we buy from the National Grid. The monthly figure for June 2018 is that we are generating 88% of the electricity we are using. Having a Tesla Powerwall battery means that the house is solar powered even in the middle of the night. Having Stuart operating as a tradesman rather than a salesman, really does make a difference, as he understands the full picture of the way that the technology works, which is vital if an installation such as this is to work. All in all dealing with Red Electrical has been a very satisfying experience.read more

After my Aurora Power One inverter failed 3 months out of warranty, with no interest from my original supplier in any form of goodwill, I contacted RED Electrical to see if there were any repair options. Stuart confirmed my fear that the error was fatal and recommended the Solis 4G unit as a great low cost unit that's a simple DIY install. The inverter arrived next day and is indeed a simple install being almost plug and play. If you can install a 3 pin plug, you can replace a failed inverter with one of these. I saved 2/3rd's of the price that my original installer wanted to fix the issue - great service, very happy :)read more

Following a fault on my solar system I phoned Red For assistance on Friday. Stuart attended the following Monday at 09-30 and following a quick diagnosis he found the fault to be no more than a tripped circuit breaker. He recommended replacing it with one which he considered to be more suitable for my system. Following fitting, the system sprang into life instantly much to my relief! My main concern was not to be ripped-off by a cowboy who did not know his job as the opportunity was there! I need not have worried: Stuart was honest, polite, expert, speedy and efficient and I cannot recommend him more highly. Engage him and you will have peace of mind!read more
