ReviewTerminal Summary

Nationwide Renewables has a severely damaged reputation (2.7/5) due to critical failures in post-installation documentation, lack of required MCS certification, and poor customer service, though installation quality itself is sometimes praised.

What customers love

  • Installation work quality and speed when completed by technical teams
  • Individual staff members (Emma, Selma, Ben, Zack) providing exceptional personal support and issue resolution
  • Responsiveness when customers escalate complaints or involve third parties

Common concerns

  • Systematic failure to provide legally required MCS certificates, EIC, and Building Regulations documentation for 12+ months after installation
  • Non-compliance with National Grid standards (G99/G100), creating unsafe and non-compliant systems that pose fire risks
  • Aggressive retention of customers through harassment, conditional compensation offers tied to review removal, and false promises of resolution
  • Loss of MCS and RECC accreditation in 2024, leaving customers unable to access feed-in tariff payments and facing £250+ additional costs
  • Widespread issues with grid connection setup and Octopus Energy registration despite being marketed as partners
  • Systematic pattern of making promises at point-of-sale not honoured post-installation (tariff switches, certifications, repairs)
  • Property damage (driveway, roof leaks, cladding) caused during installation with no accountability or repair
  • Impossible to contact; calls unreturned, emails ignored, blocking customers and using GDPR non-compliance

Finally! talk about how now someone took ownership of an issue thats been outstanding and sent an engineer out to fix it and now am up and running again, it was a network issue which could have been sorted by myself (which I know for future reference) engineer took 10 minutes thats all and I can now see my solar generation on my app

Despite waiting months for the paperwork, the new management team is much better than previous people we dealt with, although initially I was not happy but the 5 star review is acknowledgment of the work the company is putting in to put things right, hopefully it continues this way.

Excellent customer service with Selma.

The customer service of Selma has been excellent. She's managed to sort out long standing issues, explaining next steps, and answering my many questions. It's so beneficial for me to have one point of contact, and I'm so grateful that it's Selma.
