Renu Energy Solutions

Renu installed our 11kW solar array 5 years ago and it has worked well. TS Helene resulted in 11 days without Duke Energy power and though the days were sunny, the lack of solar battery storage prevented us from using the solar power available from our 11kW solar array. We resolved to add solar battery storage and EV charging, a decision that was accelerated by the Trump administration's anti-renewable energy executive order. Elon Musk's foray into politics caused us to avoid Tesla Powerwall storage, but fortunately FranklinWH had recently introduced battery storage and management that included the integration of our whole home generator. Renu installed and integrated our ~30 kWh of battery storage in a professional, aesthetic manner. It seems they had limited experience with generator integration, especially our older generator, but as generator integration is a newer feature in the industry, that was understandable. A year later, we are gaining experience and refining the settings with the assistance of Renu personnel. Thanks to Renu, the setup is meeting most of our electrical needs, providing resilience against power outages, supporting all our EV charging, and reducing power export to Duke Energy, which has drastically reduced its solar grid-tied energy compensation.

We purchased our solar panels from Renu in 2023. After talking with several solar system providers (thanks to the excellent interface with Energy Sage) we found all of the folks at Renu to be (by far) the most truly helpful of the providers. And not at all pushy which was important to us. We couldn’t be happier with our panels! We’ve had zero problems and our energy bill is consistently the minimum service fee. We chose to add squirrel guards (via Sun Service Specialists) and an Enphase Battery Backup system) again through Renu Energy. We couldn’t be more pleased with our decisions and the help from Renu.

Renu team did a great job from the sales to install. I had engaged with them almost a year prior to the house construction completed. Renu involved in the solar panels and battery planning from the beginning working with the builder and included necessary steps as part of the construction. In the end everything was very smooth, wires hidden in the walls (no outside runs).. I am very happy with everything.

They quoted incentives that didn’t exist (not expired, they just didn’t apply to the system they quoted me), so it felt very deceptive or extremely poor quality control. They also had to issue a change order to switch inverters which negatively impacted the expected production of the system. Overall really disappointing experience that I hope others don’t have to go through. I’d recommend selecting another vendor.

We are so happy with our solar project. Renu gave us a very competitive price. The coordination and communication was fantastic. They held our hand during planning, permitting, and construction. Every member of the team was professional, personable, and a delight to work with. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

I worked with Renu Energy Solutions to install a 12kW solar system and two Franklin aPower2s. From initial sales to job completion, Renu was easy to work with and responsive to my questions and needs. The installation was finished early July 2025, and PTO was granted a few weeks later. I've been running the system without any issues since. While the up front cost might seem high to some, Renu provided the best price for the system I wanted after researching several quotes, and I appreciated that everything was managed in-house, eliminating concerns about dealing with difficult contractors.
