Electricity bills keep coming. Would solar suit your roof?

Solar questions, answered plainly.

What happens after I start an enquiry?

Tell us about the property and what you want to achieve. A person reviews your answers and follows up to discuss practical next steps. This is not a live side-by-side quote service: submitting does not produce a quote or commit you to an installation.

When does a person review my enquiry?

Our team reviews website enquiries with enough property and energy-use details during staffed hours: Monday to Friday, 09:00–17:30 UK time, excluding UK bank holidays. If details are missing, we may ask for more information. This is not a promised reply deadline. Social messages are not website enquiries. To stop an existing enquiry, use enquiry help; withdrawal requests are handled separately, not as new enquiries.

Is it free to send an enquiry?

Yes. Sending an enquiry through this site is free and does not oblige you to proceed. Any installation price would need to come from a written, property-specific proposal.

Can you give me an instant solar installation price?

No. Roof condition, usable space, access, electrical work and equipment choices all affect a price. We focus on a human review and the questions a proper written quote should answer.

Is this a quote-comparison service, and will installers call me?

No live side-by-side quote comparison is provided. A person reviews your enquiry and follows up using the contact details you provide. Sharing your details with one named installer is a separate optional permission; an introduction is not guaranteed.

What if I am not sure solar is right for my roof?

That is a sensible reason to ask questions before deciding. Shade, roof condition, usable space, orientation and access all matter; an enquiry does not establish suitability. Ask for a property-specific assessment before agreeing to work.

What if I already have proposals and only want help comparing them?

This enquiry does not compare proposals for you. The separate solar quote comparison guide and downloadable home quote checklist can help you review written proposals; neither is a live matching or installer quote service.

Why do you ask for my postcode and property address?

The postcode helps confirm the property's area, while the address identifies the particular building for follow-up. You can enter the first line of the address yourself if address suggestions are unavailable. Neither entry verifies ownership.

What should I compare in two solar quotes?

Compare the proposed panel layout, estimated generation and its assumptions, inverter and battery specifications, scaffolding and electrical work, warranties, exclusions and total price. Ask each installer to explain any differences in writing.

Does my roof need to face south?

Not necessarily. Orientation, roof pitch, shade and how you use electricity all matter. An installer should assess the actual roof planes and explain the generation assumptions for the proposed layout.

What if my roof is shaded or needs repairs?

Flag trees, neighbouring buildings, roof windows and known repairs early. Ask for a shading assessment and a clear explanation of any roof work needed before panels are fitted.

Do I need a battery with solar panels?

No. A battery may suit some electricity-use patterns, but adds cost and has its own sizing questions. Ask for solar-only and solar-plus-storage options separately if you are considering both.

Will I need planning permission for solar panels?

The answer depends on the property and proposed installation. Permitted-development rights have conditions; listed buildings, conservation areas and other restrictions may need additional checks. Confirm the position with the relevant local authority.

Do you guarantee savings or a payback period?

No. Actual results depend on the design, weather, electricity use and future prices. Treat generation and savings figures as estimates with stated assumptions, not guaranteed outcomes.

Will my enquiry be sent to an installer?

For a solar enquiry, an installer introduction is a separate, optional choice. If you opt in, one suitable installer would be named before your submitted details are shared. Other service enquiries are reviewed by our team rather than sent to solar installer partners.

Can businesses enquire too?

Yes. You can describe a commercial rooftop solar project through the enquiry form. Business energy tariff enquiries are a separate human-reviewed service, not a live tariff comparison or automatic supplier switch.
