"As prices vary across the industry, I strongly recommend getting a comparative quotation."
Never be afraid to ask for clarification if you don't understand. A good company will always be patient and helpful.
"Curtains will twitch, but installation day should cause only a minimum disruption to your home."

Scaffolding - For access to your roof, a company will build a frame up to the guttering level. This procedure ensures a safe working platform for the installers, and depending on the scaffolding company - should be removed within a few days of completion.
Installation day - Enjoy your first cup of tea made with your PV-powered electricity. You have now joined a growing army of people who benefit from solar panels around the world.
