Worried about choosing the wrong solar system?

For UK homeowners: different prices can hide different equipment, roof work and warranties. Start a free, human-reviewed enquiry about your home before you commit to an installation.

Free to enquire. No obligation. An installer only sees your details if you opt in to a named introduction.

Your postcode starts the existing enquiry form—not an instant price or a roof assessment.

Is this the right next step for you?

A useful starting point if…

  • You own a UK home or have authority to enquire about the property.
  • You are considering solar panels, a home battery, or both.
  • You want to understand what to ask before agreeing to an installation.

A different route is better if…

  • You are renting and do not have the property owner's authority.
  • You need an instant price, a roof survey or a guaranteed saving.
  • You want someone to compare uploaded proposals or resolve a signed contract.

Equipment a proper quote should name

Panel, inverter and battery makers installers specify on a written quote. A logo here is not a partnership and not a recommendation.

  • SolaX inverters and batteries
  • Tesla Powerwall batteries
  • JA Solar panels
  • LONGi panels
  • Sungrow inverters and batteries
  • Growatt inverters and batteries

Ask each installer to name the exact model, usable kWh, and warranty on the written quote. A brand name on this page is not an offer.

Know what a proper quote should explain

A low headline price is only useful when you know what it includes. Put these questions to each installer; the enquiry does not compare proposals for you.

How it works

  1. Tell us about your home Start with your postcode, then add property details and preferences. Contact details come at step 4. You can edit your answers at Review before sending.
  2. A person reviews your enquiry The team reviews enquiries in staffed hours, Mon–Fri 09:00–17:30 UK, excluding bank holidays. More detail may be requested. This is not a promised reply deadline.
  3. You decide about an introduction Submission alone does not share your details with an installer. An introduction is optional, is not guaranteed, and the installer is named before sharing.

Quick answers

Is this just another instant-quote form?

It is an enquiry for human follow-up, not a calculator that prices the job, assesses your roof or compares proposals. A written, property-specific installation proposal must come from an installer.

Will my details go to lots of installers?

No automatic sharing happens when you submit. A separate, optional permission covers an introduction to one installer, named before sharing. An introduction is not guaranteed.

What if my roof is shaded, old or needs work?

Tell us what you know in the optional roof and shading fields. This form cannot decide suitability or roof condition. Those questions need a property-specific assessment by a suitably qualified professional.

Can I read the guidance without giving my phone number?

Yes: the self-guided proposal checklist does not require contact details. For a personal enquiry, name, email and phone are required at step 4, before Review and submission. Read the proposal checklist

What happens in the first few days?

Sufficiently detailed enquiries are reviewed in staffed hours, Mon–Fri 09:00–17:30 UK, excluding bank holidays. The team may ask for missing details. There is no guaranteed reply deadline, quote or installer introduction.

Is sending an enquiry free?

Yes. Sending an enquiry is free and creates no obligation to buy. It does not reserve an installation or guarantee a price. Any installation costs must be set out in an installer's written proposal.

Do you represent every installer?

No. The founder also works with Make Green Energy, which may be considered for an introduction. Any proposed installer is named before details are shared with your separate permission. Read about the service

Already have quotes?

This form does not compare PDFs. Use the proposal questions instead. Compare solar quotes

Can I change my mind after sending?

You can request a correction or withdrawal using your enquiry reference and submitted email. The help page records a manual-review request; it does not immediately stop installer contact or automatically delete your enquiry. Enquiry help

Unclear details leave the same decision risk.

If equipment, roof work and warranty terms stay unclear, choosing later does not make the proposals comparable. Before signing, ask for the missing detail in writing. You do not have to rush into an enquiry or an installation.
