They install.
Your chosen installer handles the installation. We’re your starting point, not the company on your roof.
Every home is different. Your options should be too.
Independent by design
We’re not an installer — or a comparison site. We never pass on your contact details to installers.
The right match, not the loudest pitchWe find installers.
We find installers.
Not favourites.
We work with a network of vetted solar installers, then look for options suited to your home and plans. That might include panels, battery storage, or thinking ahead to how you’ll use energy in the future.
Vetted network
We source from installers in our network rather than asking you to search from scratch.
Matched to your priorities
Your property, energy use, budget and goals shape the search.
Choice stays with you
You can compare the options and decide whether any installer is right for you.
Our vetting process
Chosen with care.
We keep our installer network intentionally small. Local and national firms are measured against the same standards we publish here, and we keep checking how they perform. Any company that falls short is quietly dropped.
MCS certification
Every installer we work with must hold it — the standard that safeguards your grants and the Smart Export Guarantee.
Guarantees backed independently
Warranties underwritten by a separate insurer, so your cover remains intact even if the installer stops trading.
Equipment that stands the test of time
We back established manufacturers with reachable technical support, clear warranties and products that can be serviced for years to come.
True value across the whole install
We weigh the equipment, workmanship, protections and service alongside the full price — not just the lowest headline number.
Track record and business standing
We look at how long the firm has operated, its accounts and company history, customer feedback and its capacity to stand behind installations once they’re complete.
Calibre of past installations
We assess workmanship, documentation, communication and aftercare — looking beyond star ratings alone.
Proper finance authorisation
Where finance is offered, we verify the right permissions are in place and that the full cost of borrowing is set out plainly.
Every installer held to the same bar — local or national, with no exceptions.
The standards behind every install
Held to the schemes that matter.
Every installer is measured against the standards that actually count. These are the named schemes and consumer-protection frameworks our vetted panel is held to — the line between a properly protected installation and a cheap headline price.
MCSRecognised technical standards for your installation
We require every installer to hold the relevant MCS certification. It helps ensure the work meets recognised technical standards and supports the documentation often needed for export arrangements and certain funding routes.
EPVSIndependent validation of the figures on your quote
EPVS offers a recognised framework for calculating system performance and financial returns. We expect proposals to rest on properly supported assumptions — not unexplained sales figures.
NAPIT or equivalentElectrical work completed and notified correctly
We confirm the installer holds the right electrical competence and registration for the work they’ll carry out.
TrustMarkGovernment Endorsed Quality Scheme
TrustMark is the Government Endorsed Quality Scheme covering work carried out in or around your home. When you choose a TrustMark Registered Business, you’re engaging with an organisation that has been thoroughly vetted to meet required standards and has made a commitment to good customer service.
HIESRaising standards in home energy improvements
HIES Accredited Installers operate under a CTSI Approved Consumer Code, meaning they are held to high standards of customer service, transparency and consumer protection approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute.
IWAInsurance Backed Guarantees & Deposit Protection
IWA has provided Insurance Backed Guarantees and Deposit Protection to the home improvement sector since 1985. Cover gives homeowners peace of mind against deposit payments and the written guarantee issued by the contractor, for up to 10 years.
Finance authorisationFinance explained clearly
Where finance is offered, we check the company holds the appropriate authorisation. You should see the interest rate, total amount repayable, term and monthly payment before you decide.
Protections explained before you proceed — never buried in the small print.
