Be sure to use an MCS-accredited installation company that installs MCS-certified products.
This is often a pre-requisite for government support schemes, and is required if you want to benefit from Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) payments. You can check an installer is verified on the Microgeneration Certification (MCS) website. Also find out whether your installer is a member of the Renewable Energy Consumer Code (RECC).
This means that they have agreed to abide by high consumer protection standards. RECC also runs a dispute-resolution process if you have a complaint against an installer registered with it.

Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels convert energy from the sun into electricity, which is used to power appliances in your home, supply electricity to your electric vehicle charger and build up the stored power within your solar battery storage solution.
Basically – use electricity as you normally would; its just being powered from the sun instead of the power grid!
It is true you can generate more electricity on a sunny day; but that isn’t to say they don’t work on a cloudy day. The solar PV panels used by our suppliers can still capture the power of the sun on the most cloudy of days to ensure you are generating renewable electricity.
An assessment would be carried out at your property before installation to determine if your roof is North, South, East or West facing, and the capacity you would need to generate based on the size of your home.
Solar panels are a cost-effective solution; you’ll be generating more of your own electricity and will be less reliant on the grid, meaning your annual electricity bills will quickly reduce. If you go as far as to install a battery storage solution with your solar panels, you’ll save even more energy and can become totally independent from the grid.
The average household could save approximately £25,000 over 20-years.
As part of the Government’s plan to ‘go green’, if you generate your own electricity via solar panels and have no use for the surplus, you can export it back to the grid – and be paid for it.
Known as the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), energy companies have an obligation to offer an export tariff which pays their customers for excess electricity which can be used elsewhere.
The Smart Export Guarantee replaced the Feed-in-Tariff some years ago.
Our suppliers make life easier for you. You can purchase a new solar energy solution out-right as part of an ‘able-to-pay’ package, or take out a finance option to breakdown the cost into manageable monthly payments. Complete our online quote form to find out your options.
