RenewAGen Solar: solar installation based in Glenfield, Leicestershire

RenewAGen Solar presents itself as a local solar installer serving the East Midlands, with its base at 115 Faire Road in Glenfield, on the outskirts of Leicester. The company states that it designs and installs solar systems for homeowners and frames its work around helping them become more energy independent. Its advertised entry price for a designed and installed system is from £5,997, with monthly payment options said to be available on request.

The company describes itself as covering the whole East Midlands and lists Leicester, Rutland, Nuneaton, Coventry, Derby and Nottingham among its regional installation areas, alongside other locations across the UK. It also states that it has installed hundreds of solar panels and presents a selection of recent home projects.

Free survey, system design and quotation process

RenewAGen outlines a three-step route from enquiry to installation. The first step is an instant quote outlining system cost and expected savings. A qualified engineer then visits the property to carry out a free, no-obligation survey. The third step is the installation of the chosen system by the company's team.

The free site survey and system design are presented as covering an analysis of the household's energy usage, clarity on savings and an understanding of return on investment. The design work also addresses battery configuration, monitoring and backup options, and panel aesthetics intended to blend with the home's architecture.

Battery storage, monitoring and maintenance

Beyond the panels themselves, the company describes solar battery storage that allows homeowners to keep generated energy for peak times or export it to the grid, noting that export applies to those on a Flexi Tariff. It also refers to maintenance plans intended to keep panels and battery systems performing year-round, advanced monitoring systems and backup solutions for adverse weather, and customised panel and battery configurations designed to maximise production even where space is limited.

Quotations, warranties and installer credentials

RenewAGen says it provides impartial advice from qualified energy assessors and up to three quotations, and that it works with vetted local and national companies whose current offers and bundle packages are surfaced through its platform. It states that installations are carried out by qualified and certified installers, and that its companies offer product guarantees together with a two-year workmanship warranty and lifetime guarantee options.

The site also explains the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) as an independent certification scheme for renewable energy installations and installers. Customer feedback displayed on the site is attributed to Google reviews, where the company says it is rated 5/5; individual comments name James and his team and describe the quotation as broken down clearly and the price as honoured throughout.

Costs, savings and payback in the company's own guidance

The company's published guidance puts a typical 6 kW system at approximately £7,000 or more before incentives, and cites savings of up to £500 a year for a typical household, a figure it attributes to UK Government 2025 data and qualifies by usage, roof orientation and location. It mentions the Smart Export Guarantee as a route to income from exported excess energy and gives a payback range of 10 to 20 years in the UK.

The same guidance lists possible additional costs beyond the system price: permitting and inspection fees, roof repairs or reinforcement, inverter replacement at around 10 to 15 years, battery storage and monitoring fees. It describes panel lifespans of 25 to 30 years or more, performance warranties of 20 to 30 years guaranteeing at least 80% of original efficiency, and maintenance limited to occasional cleaning and periodic professional inspection.

Free solar guide

RenewAGen offers a free downloadable guide, The Ultimate Solar Guide, which it describes as presenting the data homeowners need in an easy-to-read format rather than technical detail.
