Solar installers that manage their own profile
1 business has claimed its GotAPal listing, so the details come from them rather than public records. GotAPal still doesn't vet them.
Before you get solar panels
MCS certification
To be paid for electricity you export under the Smart Export Guarantee (Great Britain), GOV.UK says both your installation and your installer must be certified through MCS or an equivalent scheme.
What the quote should say
Ask for the panel and inverter makes, the expected yearly output, scaffolding, the guarantee, and who registers the system.
Your roof
Ask whether the roof needs any work first, and whether planning permission applies to your home.
How to check a solar installer yourself
GotAPal lists businesses from public records and does not check or vet them. Before you hire, do these checks yourself. They take a few minutes.
- If the solar installer trades as a limited company, look it up on Companies House: check it is active and the name and address match.
- Ask for their public liability insurance certificate and check the dates on it.
- Get a written quote that lists the work, materials, price and when payment is due.
- Never pay a large sum up front. Pay in stages tied to work done.
- Check the installer's MCS certification on MCS's own website.
- Companies House: search the register: Free to search. Shows whether a limited company is active, when it was set up and who runs it.
- GOV.UK: Smart Export Guarantee: In Great Britain, to be paid for exported electricity, your installation and installer must be MCS certified (or an equivalent scheme).
