I got a solar panels system + battery installed from Tarven.I think that Excellent is probably the right word to describe Tarven in all aspects!!They gave me lots of inputs when I was exploring the options at the beginning.Then they matched all my requirements when I got the offer (others were recommending other options despite my requests or just abandoned me) and they kindly sent me a follow up at the time I asked.The installation was exactly on time and they did a great job, working in a way that made us really happy.Everything was tidy and clean when they finished.I got all documents and explanations about how to proceed with a couple of things in the admin.And Jake is really responsive and always available for questions and support!!Finally, the price I paid is fair.And my system is great!They are a relatively small family business, but trust me when I say that I rarely experienced such a good service from a contractor, so I strongly recommend Tarven.Thanks for everything Jake and Team!!

Tarven helped me to install an EV charger. I chose this company as I was very impressed with their professionalism, knowledge and quality of work from an earlier experience. You will be in safe hands. They will supply and fit.

We used Tarvern Solar to help us with our existing solar panels that needed moving to allow us to do a loft conversion. Jake was so helpful, walking us through different options (e.g. replacing the existing panels or upgrading to new ones) & the pros and cons and costs of each. Communication was great, and the team always arrived promptly and tidied up after themselves. Jake was so helpful and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tarven Solar or use them again.

This is my second review of Tarven. Initially they installed an EV charger for me. The process was smooth and customer service fantastic. Since then, they have changed light fittings and trouble shot on underfloor heating, recently they came out very quickly to fix a burning fuse. I have every confidence in their knowledge and am grateful for the speedy help in an emergency. It’s great to have a reliable ‘go to’ number in my phone when needed.

If only I had gone to Tarven Electrical to start with. I had a BIG problem with original solar and battery installers supplying MCS cert but no DNO paperwork, two years in fact for MCS.Got in touch with Tarven who arrange a retrospective application in the space of just a few days.Could not fault their professionalism, efficiency of communications. Would highly recommend.

Jake helped us out when the existing panels on a flat roof had moved in the wind. It turned out we also had roof problems so he had to dismantle the solar set up and then return to reinstall which he did at short notice. The new mounting system is much more secure and at the correct angle.

Tarven Electrical Contractors Ltd installed an additional Battery and associated pieces to my solar system. From the first contact with Chris to the install by Jake and Max I was dealt with in a friendly and professional manner with all dead lines met albeit only a 2 weeks from initial contact to install. The work was carried out in a speedy and professional manner including tidying up my original wiring free of charge and helpful system advice. Well done lads.

The fitting of 2 electrical appliances was efficiently done & within a reasonable timeframe. The young operative did a good job.

Called out TARVEN for a fault in our system- left our Inverter dismantled and asked to rewire for 3k, or change the whole system for 10k!Called JDEngineering who replaced the connectors to restore the system for £120

Ours was a very small job … though we have had solar panels installed 1 year ago by Jake and Tarven. The service for both the solar panels and the recent simple wiring job was excellent … cannot recommend highly enough

Quick responses and excellent arrangement all the time from Jake since our 1st conversation.The Installers (Sam & Ethan) are friendly and patiently provide me guidance on set-up/using the EV charger, their on-time arrival is also very much appreciated.It is important to have reliable Electricians around and the Tarven Team is definitely my recommendation.

Our solar heater for the hot water had given up the ghost after 12yrs . No dramas from Jake and his team , replaced with an up to date model . All now working perfectly. Would highly recommend.

At the beginning of May 2023 Jake and his team installed 12 solar panels, Sunsynk Hybrid Inverter and 2 x 5.12KW Sunynk batteries at our detached 5 bedroom house where 3 adults live. Prior to May 2023 Ovo Energy’s monthly direct debit for gas and electricity was over £240 per month and in June they approved it should be reduced. It is now under £90 per month with a positive balance still predicted at the end of 12 months.Jake carried out a great installation and remains very helpful if we have problems - but we don’t!

Used Tarven on numerous occasions. First for an EV charger. After seeing quality of work and customer service I didn’t hesitate when I was on the market for solar system with battery pack. Ordered, work scheduled, installation went smoothly. System works faultlessly. Decided to expand battery storage. Received competitive quote. installation took place in less than two weeks. Will be in need for shed supply, won’t be calling anyone else. Thanks to Jake and the team!See more
