Solar System Upgrade in Ilkeston

At East Renewables, we believe in doing the job right from the start. For this project, we expanded a returning customer’s existing solar setup onto their main house roof to help them maximise their energy savings.
Before starting the installation, our team identified and replaced several cracked roof tiles, ensuring the home’s roof is completely secure and weatherproof. We then installed 8 new high-efficiency solar panels and upgraded their system with 12kWh of smart battery storage.
By storing excess daytime energy to use during peak evening hours, these homeowners can now slash their energy bills and enjoy greater energy independence.

Meet Michael Stott: The Man in the Hat Ensuring Your Solar is Done Right.
I’m Michael Stott, founder of East Renewables. While I may be the one you see on-site in the Australian hat, I couldn’t have started this journey alone. This company was built with the help of an incredible network of mentors and tradespeople who shared my frustration with the industry and my passion for doing things right. For me, that hat is a mark of quality and a promise that I’m personally overseeing your project, backed by a team and a philosophy that puts craftsmanship first.
I started this company because I was tired of seeing homeowners across the East Midlands get let down by cowboy installers. A solar installation is a huge investment in your home. It should give you peace of mind and lower bills, not a leaky roof and a system that underperforms. That’s why I’m so passionate about showing people the difference between a proper, professional installation and a corner-cutting job.
Based in Ilkeston, my team and I design and install premium solar panel systems, smart battery storage (including top-tier AlphaESS and Sigenergy systems), and EV chargers for homeowners across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and Leicestershire. I’m on-site, hands-on, ensuring every tile is respected, every connection is secure, and every system is built to last for decades.
