Forever Green Energy: solar system design and installation in Gloucestershire

Forever Green Energy is a renewable energy company based in Gloucestershire with offices across the UK. It presents itself as a provider of custom-designed solar systems and associated electrical services, for both residential and commercial clients. The company operates under the legal name Forever Green Renewables Ltd, registered in England and Wales with number 08203864, and has 13 years of activity.

Home services

The company takes a whole-home approach. Its service catalogue includes solar panel installation, battery energy storage, solar panel cleaning, EV charger installation, and electrical testing and servicing. It also offers new boiler installation and handles associated electrical work. The company states that it designs, supplies and installs everything from a single solar panel to a complete renewable energy system.

Commercial services

For the commercial sector, Forever Green Energy offers renewable energy services, as well as plumbing and mechanical services. It works with architects, commercial developers, farmers and schools, and covers both the interior and exterior of its clients' premises.

Custom design and component selection

The company describes itself as a solar consultant rather than a sales company, and highlights the custom design of each system and expert installation. As an independent supplier, it selects state-of-the-art components and subjects them to reliability testing before incorporating them into its installations. Among the brands it says it is certified by are Octopus and Tesla.

Storage, energy trading and customer benefits

Forever Green Energy configures systems that enable energy trading: buying cheap off-peak power and selling excess back to the grid at peak times. The company notes that a typical domestic solar system can offset the carbon emissions of 55 trees, that installation reduces electricity bills, and that solar companies pay for surplus exported to the grid. It adds that installing panels can increase property value by making it more attractive to buyers interested in renewable technologies.

Funding and incentives

The site indicated that investing in a home solar system gave access to a 20% VAT exemption on the installation cost. The same 0% exemption applied to battery storage installation as a retrofit to an existing renewable system. The company also offers planning assistance and help with solar panel funding and incentives, as well as energy reports.

Team and service approach

The team consists of Ben Williams (Founder & Director), Ian Baker (General Manager), Sam Hunter (Operations Manager) and Jodi Fielding (Admin Assistant). The company states that its team is committed to honest, expert service, and that it does not use aggressive sales tactics or recommend products unsuitable for each home. According to its presentation, it handles all documentation to make the process as straightforward as possible.

Reviews and activity

The company states it has been chosen by thousands of clients for solar and battery installation, and holds one of the highest ratings on Checkatrade. At the time of analysis, the site showed an average score based on 38 reviews in the last 12 months and a total of 128 reviews. The company serves residential and commercial clients and publishes case studies and a gallery of its work.
