Recently had Solar Pv installed and can only speak positively of our experience with Genren Uk.
Great lines of communication, high level of product knowledge and professional work, all carried out within agreed timescale.
Genren was very professional in their customer service and installation. We even had a phone call afterwards to see if everything was working correctly. It’s great having a local company with a great service.
Extremely happy with service from site survey through to installation. Would highly recommend Genren UK Limited.
I got in touch with Genren to see if my solar system could be improved in its output. They devised a way to do this, planned it, agreed on a date with me and delivered exactly what they promised in exactly the amount of time they said they would.
The improvements allow my panels to deliver their maximum potential. This then revealed problems with the original install which I got Genren to fix. Again they delivered exactly what they said they would, on the date they promised and at 5th price they promised.
In summary I trust them to deliver on quality and value.
From start to finish Genren exceeded our expectations. They answered all of our questions, designed a system that was ideal for our property, and were very tidy when installing our ‘in roof’ solar panels. They kept us informed throughout the whole process and we highly recommend their services to anyone thinking of installing solar on their roof.
Even after only 8 months we’ve significantly reduced our energy bills and we couldn’t be happier.
Find answers to frequently asked questions about the services offered by Genren.
The cost depends on the system size, typically ranging from £7,000 to £12,000 for a typical residential installation (4-6 kW).
The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) allows you to sell excess electricity back to the grid. There are also potential grants, VAT relief, or incentives available.
Savings vary based on the system size and energy consumption. On average, homeowners can save between £200 to £400 annually. Many of our clients produce more power than they consume, so have a positive net income from their panels and therefore a shorter payback period.
This depends on panel capacity, location, and sunlight exposure. In the UK, a typical 4 kW system can generate around 3,400-4,000 kWh per year.
Most panels last 25-30 years with warranties usually covering at least 20-25 years.
Maintenance is minimal. Cleaning may be necessary every couple of years, and depending on local dust and dirt conditions your equipment may need an inspection at the same time.
In most cases, solar panels fall under “permitted development.” However, planning permission may be required for listed buildings or properties in conservation areas.
Typically between 10 to 15 years, depending on electricity savings and income from excess energy exports.
It is possible but not recommended. Professional installation ensures safety, optimal performance, and adherence to building regulations.
Solar panels still generate electricity during cloudy days, but output is reduced compared to sunny days. In winter, production decreases due to shorter daylight hours.
Installing a battery can store excess energy for use during nighttime or power outages, enhancing savings and self-sufficiency.
Standard solar systems shut down for safety during a grid outage, unless paired with a battery system that has an automatic backup feature.
Solar panels can increase property value by reducing energy costs and adding an eco-friendly feature.
South-facing roofs are ideal, but panels on east-facing or west-facing roofs can still be effective. North-facing roofs are typically not recommended.
Look for installers certified by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) and check for membership in industry bodies like the Renewable Energy Consumer Code (RECC).
Depending on the property height and layout, we may need to hire access equipment such as platform lifts. We may need to install scaffolding which would be installed via a sub-contracted scaffold company.
