One of the good decisions in my life
From the first time I visited Ben at his base in Northwich I felt comfortable I had made the right decision. Evo installed an Anker Solix X1 last Wednesday and but for a slight hiccup with how we could position the future gateway the job went smoothly without hitch. All 3 guys on the job were professional, courtious and good humoured. I would reccomend Ben and his guys all day long. The after care is exceptional.
Ben and his team provided a first-class professional level of service. No BS, just polite factual support and good clean and tidy work. Highly recommended.
Solar and Battery Residential Install
Ben offered trusted factual advice and recommendations without boasts or embellishment. At time of installation his team were timely, polite and hard working, providing a professional service and quality workmanship. I have no hesitation recommending EVO Renewables.
3rd time I’ve used Ben for renewables. Gives great technical advice with good planning. 100% recommend him for future works on solar and batteries.
Ben from Evo Renewables and his team recently installed our solar and battery system. They are extremely knowledgable especially compared to their competitors. With their help we got a much better designed system that works for us. They were punctual, efficient and communication was excellent throughout. Would not hesitate to recommend or use they again.
Very happy with my split system A/C units. Well planned out design and fit (Bruce deserves a medal for climbing in/out a tiny crawl through space all day). Thanks guys 👍
I had an excellent customer service experience with Evo Renewables. I needed a quote for a new inverter and solar panel meter move. They were happy to come out and do the quote (unlike some of the larger companies). I compared 3 quotes and theirs was the cheapest. Ben did a great job of installing a new inverter with App so I can track what power is being generated. He also moved my solar panel meter for a low cost with no mess. I would highly recommend this business for your renewable energy needs 👍👍
Ben and his team are neat, competent and fully familiar with all matters relating to PV, Home Batteries and EV Charging. The fact they are also fully qualified and electricians gives me entire confidence in their ability to find and offer the optimized solution for any project you may have, moreover, at a reasonable cost.
Ben was super professional, tidy and informative of process and cost. He took note of my aesthetic requests and delivered the EV charger install with full set up with the OEM app. Very recommended.
Ben and his team were brilliant from start to finish. Very professional, clean and tidy. Loving my new Tesla powerwall! Will be using Evo for all my future renewable needs. Can’t recommend enough.
Ben took the time to come out and talk to us about options which meant we were able to spec out what we wanted. Then they were booked in to install a month later. Scaffolding went up on the Saturday, installation was on the Monay and Tuesday, and then the scaffolding came down on the following Saturday. So all done within a week. Very neat and tidy job and all the staff have been easy to communicate with and clear. Now enjoying watching our power useage and solar generation on the Sigen app and looking forward to the summer when our useage will drop and our generation will rocket!
Couldn’t have asked for any more!
Every question I had prior to installation was properly addressed so that I knew what to expect during the installation itself. When it came to the installation day, the team arrived promptly and carried out all necessary work with care to ensure that cabling etc. was completed neatly. Once installed, Ben took great care in talking me through how the system and the app worked and has remained available to answer subsequent questions. Couldn’t have asked for any more.
Highly recommend! We had an air-conditioning unit installed to be used year round for heating and cooling. We were given great advice on what unit was best to go for with what we needed, and it was installed really quickly. It has now been in for a few months and we couldn't be happier with the end product!
Ben installed a Bosch 3200i air-conditioning unit for us and It saved us all from some very uncomfortably hot summer days this year. His installation was on time, extremely neat and very competitively priced. The running costs are very low as we have solar panels so obviously the sunnier it is the warmer it becomes but the air-conditioning is active for free. What I wasn’t expecting however was as it’s got colder we have started using it as a heater and is extremely efficient. Hardly using any electricity at all. We use it to keep the kitchen warm over the six hours we have at cheap overnight electricity rates. I would recommend Ben for your air conditioning electrical and solar needs. Always a pleasure to deal with.
Support from start to finish
Very helpful communications during early discussions which continued as we discussed and fine tuned the quotation. Placement of kit (panels, battery, gateway & EV charger) and cable routings all discussed in advance and confirmed on the day installation started. Roof and ground personnel were easy to work with and happy to respond to any questions we had. A tidy job, done tidily.
EVO installed our charger on 7th August, so we've had it for 2 months now. We found it easy to get used to, and have had no faults so far. As we have solar panels, and don't do frequent high mileages, it has enabled us to minimise not only the petrol usage on our Hybrid VW Golf, but also the amount of electricity required from the Grid (the bright skies this summer have of course helped to produce loads of power from the panels !). Altogether we are very happy with the Zappi charger itself and also with the service from Ben F..
Would highly recommend Evo. Ben and Matt were very professional throughout. Communication leading up to the work was impeccable and they were very flexible being able to work around the roofer who was also on site whilst carrying out the install. Evo offered very competitive pricing and their workmanship was up there with the very best. Will definitely be employing Evo to do any further renewable energy work to my property. Thank you
I would like to recommend Evo Renewables after they did some work at my home. I contacted Ben after hearing about an interface that heats my water from excess power generation from my solar panels. Rather than the excess power generated by my solar panels going back to the grid, the power is diverted to my immersion heater to heat my hot water. Saving me money on my gas bill.

After experiencing nearly three years of problems with our existing solar system, we called EVOtech who came around and quickly explained what the problems were. It became evident that we would always have an unreliable system even though it was only five years old. Ben, the technician, outlined several options to us for repairs, but there was no guarantee that this would ultimately be any better. As we wanted also to update the capacity of our batteries, change over to overnight charge up at low cost rates, have the system removed from the attic due to fire risk, and have power when off grid, we opted for an Anker Solix 1X combined battery and inverter on an outside wall of the house as being the most cost effective. Ben came along and, in a single day, did all the necessary work. We're very happy with the work done and the equipment supplied and very, very happy to recommend EVOtech for Solar Systems and we look forward to calling Ben back when we've saved enough to have the EV Charger fitted in the garage.

Absolutely faultless service from Ben and his team at Evo Renewables with the design and installation of our solar PV and home battery solution. Ben worked through a number of iterations of the solution proposal until we reached the one that best met our specific requirements and budget. He also completed the DNO application for our particular system. Installation took a couple of days and was hassle free, losing power for only about an hour while the system was wired in to our grid supply. Everywhere was left clean and tidy once complete. Handover paperwork, including MCS certificate was issued immediately upon completion of the install. All in all a fantastic project completed by a fantastic local company and we would highly recommend them to anybody considering a solar PV and/or home battery system.
Solar PV and Home Battery Solution
Recently had a solar PV and home battery solution designed and installed by Evo Renewables. Fantastic experience from start to finish. Ben was extremely knowledgeable and worked through various iterations of the design until we settled on the one that best met our specific requirements and budget. Would wholeheartedly recommend Ben and his team to anyone looking to install solar and/or battery storage in their homes.
First class service from start to finish. This was the installation of an EV charger where our electricity meter was on the "wrong" side of our house to where we wanted the charger to be located next to the garage. Ben found a solution and the installation was completed professionally and to a very high standard. Ben even took time out of his holiday to respond to a couple of queries prior to installation. It was a real pleasure dealing with someone who knows what he is doing and also has the customer care skills to reassure you about a product/solution. I would recommend Evo Renewables without hesitation.

Highly Recommend EVO Renewables
Ben from EVO Renewables attended my property to rewire my Tesla Powerwall so that my EV charger would not drain the battery. He was quick to reply to messages and sent the quote over promptly which made the whole process very straightforward. The job was completed professionally to a high standard with great attention to cleanliness and tidiness. I would happily recommend EVO Renewables to friends and family and will definitely use them again in the future.
Evo Renewables Solar and Battery install
Ben took the time to explain the benefits of the different solar and battery systems. We learned a lot from the Evo Renewables YouTube videos. The team of roofers and electricians were professional and happy with the service. Would recommend them to others
Air conditioning
Ben installed a new Bosch 3200i air conditioning unit into our home a couple of days ago. He is very professional with excellent communication. His work is extremely neat and he always shows great respect for people and property. This is not the first time we have used his services and won’t be the last. As for the air conditioning, we can’t believe we didn’t do it sooner, keeps the garden room very pleasant while using very little electricity. Couldn’t be happier. Thanks Ben
Evo Renewables: My Stress-Free Solar Solution Investing in solar energy is a significant decision, and for many, myself included, it can feel overwhelming. I'm thrilled to share that Ben at Evo Renewables completely eliminated the stress from every step of my solar journey. My Solar Nightmare (Before Ben Rescued Me!) My solar quest began in January, and initially, I made what I thought was the sensible choice: my national energy provider. What a mistake that turned out to be! While I understood certification could take a few weeks, I was endlessly shuffled between different team members, receiving conflicting information at every turn. My confidence in them and their third-party providers quickly evaporated. Ben and Evo Renewables to the Rescue! Feeling defeated, I contacted Ben at Evo Renewables and explained my frustrating situation. He immediately arranged a site visit, and given my previous experience, to my astonishment, I had a quote within a day. Throughout the process, as I had queries and made amendments to the quote, Ben was consistently supportive, knowledgeable, and professional. I genuinely felt he had my best interests at heart. Once the quote was finalised, Ben remained by my side from start to finish – it was brilliantly reassuring. He handled everything, including the crucial application for certification to the network for the installation. Thanks to his expertise and understanding of local providers, Ben expedited this process significantly, building on my original application. Within a week, we had a confirmed installation date, and everything ran seamlessly. From start to finish, I was up and running in less than a month. A Seamless Installation and Unwavering Professionalism The scaffolding went up a couple of days before the installation. On the big day, Ben was the first on-site, leading his team from the front. His crew followed, diligently installing the panels. They were clean, tidy, respectful, and incredibly professional at every point. My confidence in Ben and his team just grew and grew throughout the day. The Evo Renewables Difference: Beyond Just Installation Here's a prime example of the exceptional service you get with Evo Renewables: My neighbour had solar installed two years ago by a different supplier and is still grappling with issues. Ben, without hesitation, engaged with him and even offered valuable advice. He also helped me with a switch I had attempted to install myself. Ben is truly an all-around gentleman, and his team perfectly reflects his strong values. He is there, every step of the way. Don't Make My Initial Mistake – Choose Evo Renewables First! If you're considering a solar or battery installation, do yourself a massive favour and choose Evo Renewables first! You'll benefit from a professional job, led with integrity by the owner himself. Top class. Thanks a million!

Highly professional
Highly professional installation of an EV charger. Really communicative throughout, arrived on time, efficient installation with neat wiring and helpful advice on placement. Ben took the time to help get the charger paired with the app and explained all the features. Would highly recommend Evo Renewables!

Great job!
Ben installed our EV charger and was brilliant throughout. He turned up on time, did a really neat job, and explained everything clearly. Super friendly and easy to deal with – made the whole thing really straightforward. Would definitely recommend him to anyone needing an electrician!
Great attention to detail
Evo Renewables are very knowledgable and experienced in solar and battery installs. We're very happy with the Sigenstore battery system they installed this week. All work to an extremely high standard, everything installed very neatly and left clean and tidy. Highly recommended!
Ben and the team are very knowledgeable and professional, can highly recommend Evo Renewables. In a day, they installed 12 solar panels, a Sigenergy 8kw battery, and a Zappi EV smart charger. Very pleased with the installation, and the MySigen app produces a lot of data and is easy to understand. A company you can trust.

Ben and the Evo Team have been faultless throughout the process. Providing updates from beginning to end, elaborating on areas I wanted more information on. Evo arranged for the scaffolding which was factored into their pricing, this was put up the day before install and removed a week later. Day of the install Ben and Matt were happy to assist me with more questions about additional monitoring of my heat pump and ultimately led to n extra being placed onto the fitting. Then install is very tidy and clean. Everyone was courteous, professional and generally nice people. All paperwork, certificates with relevant bodies were issued the day after install with export mpan requested. After reading some people takes weeks etc to get their certificates back , it was a big and nice surprise. Overall top job, would recommend and would happy to have back again.
Friendly, well run, local company who deliver what they promise.
Fantastic company Great professionals Competitive pricing Prompt and responsive to all assistance Work of a high standard Had 14 panels, PW3 and a Zappi charger and the whole process was flawless from start to finish. I was always communicated too when there was any updates in quote, DNO application, scaffolders etc. I was always consulted before any impacting would take place such as turning electricity off or testing the backup side of the PW3. Standard of work is of a high standard and is tidy as the work has been approved by my observant girlfriend who was worried about aesthetics . But the team came through. Would use again and would highly recommend.
Top Solar Installation Experience
Can highly recommend Evo Renewables to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced company for a solar installation. I did a lot of research and felt confident enough to know what I wanted out of the system beforehand. I got a few different quotes from various companies that I had narrowed down to who I felt were a possibility. Evo felt right from initial contact and no questions were too much for Ben - both on emails and at the home visit. Absolutely no hard sell whatsoever. It is good that Evo offer various products as part of what they will install so you have options rather than having to stick to one particular product only which some companies do. All communication is very clear and documentation provided is thorough. When it came to the installation, all of the team from the scaffolders, roofers and electricians were excellent with a real high standard of work and very professional. It's obvious that they all take pride in their work. System has been running smoothly over the few days since install and I couldn't be happier with it.
