S&P Renewables

S&P Renewables fitted my Solar PV panels and battery storage. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company - everything was done quickly and efficiently and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly at every stage from the initial survey to completion of installation.

Installation of a residential PV system with storage on and in a detached garage. All completed within 3 months from initial contact. There was considerable discussion initially around the principal involved and on the detail of scale and design. The work itself was done in a day and included a welcome improvement in the panel layout identified on site by the very organised and efficient installation team. Always preferring to use local service suppliers if possible, S & P have been the right choice for this job as they have been readily contactable throughout and everything has been much more personalised than proposals that were obtained from others.

We have previously had solar panels/batteries installed and this week have had replacement batteries fitted.
We have always had excellent, prompt and professional service from this company and their work force are a pleasure to have in our home - particularly Teo who is very pleasant, helpful and has a great work ethic !!
We would not hesitate to recommend this company should you wish to have similar work carried out in your home.

Brilliant company. Straight forward good business. Explain clearly what they will do and how much it will cost. Do the work with a joyful efficiency, then charge you what they said they would. Perfect.
Also the best value quote by miles

Batteries installed and solar panels installed, guys were tidy and conscientious about their workmanship, kept us informed all the way through what was happening next.

We initially had solar panels fitted in 2019 an were really impressed with the quality of work the price and the communications with Safe & Protect. The work was done efficiently and there was no mess in the house. More recently we had batteries fitted to our system and again the price, communications and completion of the work was brilliant. The tradespeople who came to my house were polite, respectful and trustworthy.

We are really pleased and highly recommend Ewen and the Safe & Protect team .
I have recommended them to a number of people and they have done similar work for one of my neighbours who are also pleased with their work.

Full new heating system, solar panels, heat pump, boiler, inverter and radiators. This was done through a government grant scheme so they were the nominated contractor. Work was all done as planned ie time scales. There was a few teething problems but full credut to the company, all problems were sorted as quickly as possible and full system is working as promised. All staff were polite and knew exactly what they were doing. Would certainly ask this company to do any further work that may be needed.

Received a number of quotes from different PV suppliers however S&P Renewables discussed and explained the options in a much clearer way, helped me to decide the best solar solution for my needs.
In my opinion offered the best overall solution and best value for money.

I have just had Solar PV panels, Storage Batteries and Inverter installed by S&P Renewables and I'm very happy with the installation, from my initial contact right through to commissioning of my system. Ewan answered all my questions and explained everything to me. My two installers and electrician could not have been more helpful asking at each stage of the install if I was happy with the work so far?
I carried out some of the civils work for them so as to make things easier and to save some time and in turn have as little disruption to my normal day to day life although to be honest there was very little disruption.
I would happily recommend S&P Renewables.

Installation of Heat Pump.
Excellent Company. From initial enquiry to completion of installations S&P Renewables cannot be faulted. Their support throughout the whole process was first class. The girls in the office were so efficient and helpful with all the admin side of the project….Thank you so much Becky and Diane. The installation Engineers were first class, everything you could hope for, lovely guys who were respectful, considerate, friendly and did a great job ! Thanks to the heating engineers, Tio and Kevin. More than happy with everything !
I would highly recommend you to use S&P Renewables.

S&P installed Solar Panel PV System with battery back up at the village hall. Excellent job which will assist in reducing the hall's energy bill. Great advice and service from Euan and the team. Can highly recommend.

The task was to install 18 PV panels, a 3-phase inverter & 10kWh of battery storage at St Boswells Village Hall, which is a Victorian-era building situated within a conservation area. Safe & Protect was selected on the basis of (i) price; and (ii) track record. The Welsh slate roof needed to be refurbished beforehand so S&P arranged for a scaffold and then coordinated with the roofer to have the PV panel support brackets fitted at the same time. The project was funded by grants and they showed heroic levels of patience whilst we waited for the money to come through. Once the S&P team arrived on site the work was completed quickly and efficiently, and the system performance so far has been at least as good as the original estimate - which translates into very important cash savings for the charity that operates the hall. The S&P team is very busy so contacting them can sometimes take a little longer than would be ideal - but that is a trivial observation and well worth putting up with in exchange for their excellent service. Would I use S&P again? You bet I would!

S&P Renewables have installed our Solar Panels and Battery and we now await installation of our Heat Pump System.
We cannot be more positive and grateful to everyone at S&P from Ewan who was our first contact and was very informative and not at all
“Pushy” to get our custom, gave great advice. Becky, with her excellent communication skills and patience, who was an absolute star with helping with all the paperwork and Kevin and Tio our installers, who worked non stop to get the job done. They were brilliant ! Courteous, clean and tidy, helpful and friendly. We would recommend S&P and look forward to the next stage of our energy saving installation. Thanks to you all !!!

We had solar system fitted with batteries. From the initial meeting with Ewan, to the team arriving and doing a great job, to the after care, all done very professionally.
Would highly reccomend.

Great service from start to finish. Nothing was an issue from initial quotation to the installation works. We were recommended by friends that had panels installed last year. I would 100% recommend S&P!

Ewan & the team were very helpful, professional & easy to deal with. Highly recommend.

Great service. Very helpful, Knowledgable and friendly staff. System was tailored and amended to suit our needs. Great value for money from a local business. Always available to answer any questions we had. Highly recommend using this company

We have had 12 Solar Panels fitted complete with Invertor and Battery pack. We found S&P to be very competitive. The Company were very professional and helpful and were able to answer all questions and queries we had. The fitting team were excellent and very clean and tidy workers. Euan and his team provided and quality service. Highly recommended

Great service , exemplary tradesmen polite and professional well done !

I used S&P many years ago and turned to them when a recent upgrade to my system was botched. They replied and acted promptly. The men were a delight, clean workers who didn't waste time. Any questions were clearly answered, if not by them, then by the owner over the phone. The office always answered the phone promptly and replied promptly to queries. Highly recommended.

Solar panels plus battery
Lovely bunch of guys . Friendly, professional and efficient . Highly recommend

S&P Renewables installed PVs and batteries in our new build.
All staff have been very knowledgeable, helpful and have been happy to answer all questions we had.
The entire process was dealt with quickly and efficiently. I would definitely recommend S&P to anyone who would like to use renewable energy in their house.

Replace and upgrade solar panel inverter with optimisers

Solar Panels and Batteries installation. Very polite, very tidy, very clean, and most importantly very very good.
First class installation in one day.
Highly recommended.

Solar panels and batteries installed at a new build property. Amazingly quick response to initial enquiry, and fast installation once we had completed groundwork. Delighted with the service and would highly recommend.

A truly excellent job, from first contact through ordering and installation to aftercare everyone involved has been fantastic. A special mention to Becky who has answered my many questions and queries with great professionalism.

I think a special mention should also go to the installation team who were not only quick and efficient but good humoured, courteous, and exceptionally clean and tidy in fact you would not have known they were there at all, everything was left spotless.

We had panels and an inverter fitted along with 10kw of battery storage.

My wife and I were confronted with a long list of potential installers and we know first-hand how difficult it can be when you are trying to decide who to trust with your project and investment, to any potential customer out there we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending S&P Renewables for their project.

Solar panels fitted. Work was carried out as planned and at no inconvenience to us. Everyone was friendly and polite.

We have had a battery pack installed as well as additional PV panels being added to our 10 year old system. The system is set up to store excess electricity produced by the PV panels in the battery as well as to sell any excess remaining back to the grid. The system also enables us to charge up the battery via the grid at 'off-peak' times when the price of electricity is very cheap. The 'world' of battery storage and linking this to an existing PV system was all new to us. It has taken us quite a bit to 'get our head round' everything. Ewan and his team have done a very good job advising us on the options that were available and explaining the benefits/pitfalls of each. The installation and commissioning process was undertaken extremely efficiently, quickly and with minimal disturbance by Ewan and his colleagues. The 'guys' who did the work in and on our house were thoughtful and helpful at all times.

The work was of a very high standard, from the beginning they listened to our questions and supplied 3 quotes and on the day of installation the men fitting the solar panels and frame were quick and efficient. The battery system plus inverter installation was carried out with great care and precision and very cleanly.

Information and advice was good and after care given very willingly.

Work carried out by S&P Renewables is second to none.

Installers arrived first thing in the morning, got to work straight away and were gone by the afternoon.

The job was completed with no mess or hassle, working on my 2.4KW Solar PV installation. I will be considering expanding this setup in the coming years.

I would highly recommend their services again for anyone look for advice and services on their renewable energy journey.

S&P were very clear in explaining the product for sale and ensured that we had the correct system for our requirements. It was installed when indicated with work being carried out efficiently and and to a high standard. Nothing appeared to be too much trouble.

More solar panels added

Had 16 Solar panels installed. Very competitive price and in our eyes, value for money. They were happy to help with any queries.
The job was carried out in a professional way and we could not fault the workmanship. The fitters were very pleasant and left everything tidy when the job was completed.
We were very happy with the service from Safe and Protect, Galashiels.
Would highly recommend this company.

First class service at every stage in the process. Very efficient, neat and tidy installation, additional panels and battery storage. Ongoing office support was excellent.

I'm located in Central Belt but decided to use a Borders company based on a recommendation from a friend who had a good experience in his house & parents house.
From the outset communication was clear, concise & informed.
Staff doing installation were efficient & tidy. To date happy with all aspects of job.
Time will tell on the long term quality but based on what seen so far if there are issues comfortable we'll have no issues with on going support as needed.
Cheers Sav

I would highly recommend S&P Renewables, from the moment we contacted them until the job was completed we were treated exceptionally. We installed a 12 panel, 2 battery and inverter system. The price was very competitive and I wanted to use a local company and we are delighted we did.
All the staff in the office and on site were very professional, friendly and very helpful any questions we had were dealt with quickly and in a professional manner.
Ewan and all the staff are extremely knowledgeable. A few days after the installation was completed Ewan called to ensure everything was in order and answered a few questions I had, he also gave me some excellent tips on getting the most out of the system, that information helped us immensely and even in late December and now January we are already seeing our grid supplied electricity decrease.
I would certainly use S&P Renewables again.

Would highly recommend. We had an 18 panel array with a hybrid inverter and 9kw battery system.The team did a fantastic job and were courteous and professional at all times. Their aim is to please and they certainly did that. They did the complete job in difficult weather conditions in two days and left a tidy site and very happy customers.

S&P Renewables fitted solar panels, inverter and batteries at the start of the week.
Beforehand, they gave us a clear breakdown of how the system would work, the amount of energy it was likely to produce, and the advantages and disadvantages of different set ups. And of cost.

We accepted their quote, and received a call a couple of weeks later to arrange installation date, a few days later. The team arrived as we had been told , and were friendly and efficient. The work is all tidy, and our panels are churning out energy ( sunny week in November). We had a couple of questions related to the app, and received an answer straight away.

So nice to deal with actual people, instead of automated answer phones etc. Thanks very much, we would recommend S&P Renewables.

It's one of the best things we have done to our house renovation. A fantastic company who steered us to the right product for us . The work carried out was very good ..clean quick and we have not had any problems at all .the technology was explained in a way which we can understand and we have been so happy with all that was done ..I would highly recommend this company great price great job and great ongoing results

New fuse box and 12 solar panels installed. The work was completed very quickly and efficiently by friendly and helpful tradesmen.

We have used S&P Renewables twice now to install and then add more PV Solar Panels and Battery Storage and I could not recommend them highly enough. They were quick, good value, efficient, professional and their engineers were always on time, very knowledgeable and nothing was ever a problem. Excellent.
We have a really good solar, storage and EV charging setup here now - and, calculated back over the past full year, taking advantage of really low off-peak rates, the Feed in Tariff (on the old system) payments received quarterly, and the efficiencies of the system, we have almost no energy costs for the house or charge costs for the car.
Before getting the the solar panels, the battery storage and the EV, we were paying about £1200 per year for electricity and gas combined, and were buying petrol at between £200-£250 per month / £2400 - £3000 per year - but these days are more or less gone now!
Yes, we do need to manage our energy usage carefully and efficiently, changing our approach when there is less sunshine, especially over the winter - but we should all do this anyway, regardless.
Yes, there is an investment involved (we are very happy with a payback period) but the best thing we ever did was getting in touch with S&P Renewable for honest advice and guidance and trusting them to help us future proof our home.
Highly recommended.

Installation of solar panels with battery storage.
Ewan was very helpful in the design of the system taking cognisance of our requirements to allow for potential future ev use and the staff were very polite and efficient with dealing with questions in the lead up to the installation.
The installation was undertaken very timeously and workmanship very neatly done. It was quite a large domestic installation and area for batteries was quite tight. The array layout had to be altered slightly due to roof shape and desired clearances.
Products offered and installed were similar to those advised by competitors hence value for money rating.
My ratings for product quality and reliability reflect that this is a new system, if the products match their literature claims then everything would be aok.

S&P advised us about and rectified the serious problems with an utterly incompetent solar panel installation carried out by another, criminally negligent, company. S&P's staff were unfailingly helpful, professional and knowledgeable. They rewired the system correctly and efficently and also installed batteries. We could not be happier with the results. The only regret we have is that we did not engage them to do everything in the first place.

Excellent service throughout the job and afterwards.
Ewan is extremely knowledgeable

Solar panels fitted. Work was done quickly and efficiently with no inconvenience to us.

We had a PV/Battery install.
All aspects of process professionally handled from quotation, through installation & and post sale advice on getting best from system.
I used them on a friends recommendation & have already recommended them to other friends considering.

We had Solar panels and a battery system installed by S&P a few months ago. The system has worked fantastically well since then and way above our expectations. A few hurdles had to be crossed to get the job done, mainly out with the control of S&P, but this was achieved in a timely manner. Thanks to Ewan, Becky, Fiona, Tao and the team - great to deal with at all times. Highly recommended!

Put in second solar array last November. As had a good experience with them putting in the 1st array, happy to give S and P our business again.

Bit of delay getting parts for the array but once arrived, very quick to install. The installers have a wonderful ‘can do’ attitude as not so easy to fit in a highly insulated house with thick walls but managed in a few hours and no mess at all. Very friendly and accommodating.

Our system has 10kw of battery and would recommend this. We are an all electric house with an electric car. We have gone from using around 13,000 units of electricity a year to about 6,000. From May to September we managed to charge the electric car and run the house on less than 100 units per month as the inverter installed allows us to see in real time how much electricity was being generated. With the the batteries this allows us to make better use of generated energy so very little goes back to grid.

S&P Renewables were excellent, quote issued very promptly, work carried out in line with the quote. All tradesmen came at arranged time and were very professional.

Would defiantly recommend if you are looking to install solar panels and / or a solar battery.

I first used Safe and Protect late 2010/11 when Euan contacted me with advice on installation of CCTV Camera at the property at a time when I was looking after my elderly father with carers regularly visiting to attend his disability of near sight loss . A prompt and efficient facility was installed. He then advised on the opportunity to have Solar Panels on the property to reduce electricity costs. It was important to keep the property warm for my elderly father and my wife and I as I have long termT1D Diabetes disability and have experienced complication issues. It seemed a good idea to receive an ongoing payment from the energy supplier towards the rising cost of heating and lighting. The installation was completed promptly and has been very successful. We had an updated Integrator installed a few years ago by Safe and Protect and again prompt end efficient workmanship. The workers were always tidy, smartly safely dressed for the type of work, and always tidied up after completion. Any minor issues have been promptly attended to usually by telephone. The Battery update is being completed as I write this and all seems good.
I have no hesitation in recommending Safe and Protect as a trusted and efficient trading company with expert knowledge of the good work they perform.

Installation of solar panels and storage battery.
Work was done efficiently, staff were very pleasant nothing was too much bother.
Would highly recommend S&P Renewables.

Everything went like clockwork. The installation team were excellent and explained the battery system clearly.

They also helped with the organisation of my Government Green Loan.

Solar panels and batteries installed. Communication excellent, turned up on time , installation was straight forward and left house tidy. Product has worked perfectly since installation. Would recommend

Selection and installation of solar panels and storage batteries.
This trader was knowledgable , effective and efficient in carrying out all surveys ,installations and after service associated with the above works.
Their individual traders were always courteous and went about their tasks ease and efficiency and were always able to answer questions and provide reassurance when needed.
I would highly recommend them .

Battery for solar panels installed

Great company to deal with. Honest and straightforward advice from start to finish. Solar panel installation and battery storage system. Would highly recommend.

Safe and Protect arrived on time, were polite, efficient, had a strong work ethic, finished on schedule and were clean, neat and tidy. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

Due to my house renovation timeframe, the solar panels / storage battery installation took way longer than I thought, however Becky and I kept the conversation open to ensure Safe & Project were well aware of timeframe.

The installation was completed over 2 days and from the switch on in July there was an instant saving from power from the grid. I cannot believe how quickly the supplied equipment was making a difference.

Safe & Protect (especially Becky) were fab.

I can't wait to get the full savings when we hit spring/summer 2024

The work was done efficiently and quickly with little disruption to my home.

Sand and Protect installed a solar PV system on my roof, and later on came to install bird exclusion mesh around the solar panels. Very happy with the whole installation so far. Job has been done neatly and great quality of products. We're going to use Safe and Protect again to install an EV charger hopefully in the near future. Highly recommended.

We had our solar panel and battery’s installed by Safe and Protect.
Very impressed with the project from start to finish.
Highly recommend.
