Industry-leading PV solar installers

The success of PV adoption rates influenced today’s export tariff scheme. Today, all PV solar installers adhere to strict industry-wide standards. The popularity of solar technologies caught the attention of some eager to cash in on a fledgling industry.

In the past, a few bad eggs spoiled it for the many.

As a result, the Office of Fair Trade recently wrote to 50 double-glazing, home efficiency, and solar panel companies to avoid a repeat of 1980s style pressure-selling. Unethical ways to sign on the day for commission purposes were stamped out early within our industry. We don’t tolerate overstaying welcome, over-inflating prices, or give false discounts.

A common complaint is salespeople overstaying a welcome. This tactic is designed to grind down the customer to sign a contract. All PV solar contracts have a 14-days cooling-off period as standard. Any sales or survey appointment should last no more than one hour.

Once happy that all questions have been satisfactorily answered, then ask for a formal quote to be posted. Get three quotes for different technology options:

  • Choosing the right type of installation for your home is important. A large family with a high demand for hot water/power, then PV with tank heating may be best, as an example.
  • Always confirm the solar panels branding/specification in your written quotation. Check this is what you are getting on the day of installation too.

Every day, many thousands of homeowners successfully get solar panels installed by sourcing time-served MCS-accredited installers. We’ve partnerships with industry-leading installers here for your peace of mind.

The future of solar panel adoption looks sunny. Ninety-nine percent of those who’ve installed a PV system are happy, so don’t let those from a bygone fledgling era, spoil your pioneering spirit.

How many panels are being installed?
Do you know what kind of inverter was specified?

Hi, I spoke to a sales person from a company yesterday and have decided that I need to give it a bit of thought before proceeding. I was quoted £9.5k for a split system with a device to heat my water through the immersion – is that reasonable? It does seem high compared to what I’m reading on various sites – but perhaps it’s ok for a spit system – it will actually be split over three roof areas. The other area that gave me some concern was the estimates on how many kwh the panels would produce. I was told 4000 a year on a 4 kwh system – is that feasible?

Thanks in advance for any advice anyone can offer. I’m not particularly doubting what I was told – just need to go away and learn a bit more about it before committing really.

It would be helpful if you name the company and name of the person. We are installation company and still can’t get our money from sales company for 2 complete installation. The name of the company is Energy Savings Bureau. Please be aware of this compan.

I’m still trying to get my money back from a compant that took my deposit and never delivered. I’ve been through the small claims court and won and then paid for the bailiffs but can’t get anything back as he registered a company with a different and seemingly fictious address 3 weeks after he took my checque. What can I do now.



A better way.
