Common questions
How do I find a reputable solar panel installer near me?
Look for MCS certification — it's the UK industry standard for solar PV and is required if you want to claim the Smart Export Guarantee or Boiler Upgrade Scheme. You can verify any installer at mcscertified.com. Reading recent Google reviews is also useful — look for installers with 10+ reviews and a 4.5+ rating.
Should I use a local or national solar installer?
Both have merits. Local installers often give more personalised service, can respond faster for after-sales issues, and may be cheaper due to lower overheads. National installers have more standardised processes and often more reviews. Most importantly, choose an MCS-certified company with verifiable recent reviews.
How many quotes should I get for solar panels?
Getting 2–3 quotes is recommended. Prices vary by £500–£2,000+ for the same system size depending on panel brand, inverter, installer overheads, and region. Don't automatically choose the cheapest — check what panel and inverter brand is included, and whether the installer has public reviews.
