JFW Renewables

Excellent service from installation team. Sales team were very professional not pushy at all. Very good and quick power up ensured all was electrically compliant and worked as per the Safe Electric handbook recommend this company even with technical team in Galway.

I had a great experience with JFW. They arranged everything. Had a good site survey with their rep. He could tell me what would fit on the roof then and there. I knew what kit I wanted and they had no problem with that. Got a very clear and itemized quote. The roofers were in and out in 3 hours installing 20 panels total. On install day the Electricians installed it exactly as I asked. There was no issues. They instructed me on the operation of the system but it works away itself! The office people uploaded all the documents for the grant promptly and that went smoothly. Received the grant about 8 weeks later. Very happy with the whole process. Highly recommended.

Very pleased with my solar panels. JFW were professional and a pleasure to deal with throughout the installation. I highly recommend them from first hand experience. Thank you JFW. Phil Colson.

I waited 12months before adding a review to see how the system has performed and what the customer service experience would have been like. I can say without question this was one of the best investments i have made and JFW Renewables are excellent to deal with. They are a company that really care about their customers and go out of their way to make the whole experience work for you. I did alot of research and got alot of quotes. Installation in one day and very tidy and professional. Their is great satisfaction to see the system allow you some energy independence from about mid Feb to end of Sept allowing you to be 70% approx off grid on average. I bought EV car also and pleased with decisions so far. I went with 14panels and 10kw battery. In winter the system will still produces some kw's but you will use more grid power but with battery I can force feed a charge to EV and battery at night with off peak rate and use during the day while staying off grid. If you can't afford the battery, the panels are still worth it. The app is easy to use and allows your monitor system performance. Give this company a call and they will help you customise a system for your usage and budget and advise on grants available. The return is worth it and will continue to pay off for years to come and if there is a problem Gearoid and team are there to advise and help straight away. I have contacted them over the year just on app updates and they help straight away. Excellent customer care.

Fantastic experience. 6 weeks in and couldn't be happier with it. Weather had been great so it definitely works with sun light. 1,300 units created in that period. My house is East facing so have panels back and front. The service by the team installing was very efficient and just seamless. Panels look great too.

Dreadful

Dreadful. Total 'cowboys'. System originally installed with 60% of panels not functioning. 4 phone calls and 2 site visits later they accepted the problem and rectified. Next became clear they failed to earth the inverter casing. One month later after a missed appointment they rectified the system. Cowboys ted. Cowboys..

App not working making panels completely useless!

The app linked to the panels isn't available in android 14+ phones therefore making it impossible to gauge/control how the panels charge/discharge. Until jfw renewables change their app compatibility to EU phones the efficiency of the panels is completely out of the users hands making them absolutely useless for the owner. As we installed our panels over 2 years ago, costing over €16000, customer service/aftercare fob you off on this vital component in ensuring the maximum efficiency of solar energy. The fact you can't use the app is a complete contradiction to buying the panels in the first place.

Not a good experience and getting worse

Had my installation of Solar Panels now over 18 months, firstly to my surprise JFW installed the panels but they had a separate local electrical company install the electrical equipment and wiring, Bunch of young lads who honestly didnt care less about going in and out of the house bringing dirt in on carpets, you know then there not going to be tidy at their work, They actually wired the fireman switches to an extension lead socket in the attic so now i have to ensure the extension lead is not plugged out, I see othe installs shown on facebook with other companies strongly feel i was ripped off, Now to make things worse my inverter stopped working over a week ago and it feels like im being fobbed off on the service call, they say the scheduler will call next day ,so i call again and same story ,I have taken to contacting the Manufacters of the equipment now to see if they can get the Inverter to work, Thats my experience and feel guilty now for recommending this company to others, Never have written reviews before but this company i feel needs mentioning.

Great company to deal with

Great company to deal with. Very happy with installation, very tidy and clean. Great service, first phone call to installation was quick and easy. Solar panels installed Nov 2024, esb bills reduced significantly straight away and have been in credit the last few months, will have plenty of credit built up for the winter months. We have a fully electric house, solar panels work perfect, so happy to have gone to JFW renewables.

AVOID -Shop around!

Utterly atrocious service once the system is installed. Well over 2 years now and anytime I have had issues I either got no call back or told it will be weeks before someone can come out and that there are call out charges. All down to cheap battery powered safety devices they installed and never made us aware of. To be clear - we asked if any of what they were installing in the most inaccessible part of our attic need to be serviced and were told no. They never told us of or listed that device on the paperwork. We bought from them before they were consumed by OHK Energy. Not a company I can recommend based on experience with customer support and care.
