Process

From enquiry to switch-on, typically three to four weeks.

Our process is deliberately short, predictable, and paperwork-light for you. Here's exactly what happens at each stage — and what we handle so you don't have to.

  1. 01

    Free survey

    30-minute visit (or remote first-pass with satellite imagery). Structure, orientation, shading, consumer unit.

  2. 02

    Tailored proposal

    Within 48 hours: fixed, itemised quote. Panels, inverter, battery, labour, scaffold — plus modelled savings and payback.

  3. 03

    Contract & DNO

    Digital contract, 30% deposit, installation slot booked. We file the DNO notification that same day.

  4. 04

    Installation

    1–2 days on site for a typical residential install. Scaffold, fit, commissioning, handover.

  1. 05

    MCS & SEG paperwork

    We issue your MCS certificate and complete Smart Export Guarantee registration — export payments start straight away.

  2. 06

    First-year review

    Data check at month three and twelve. Confirms the system is meeting — or beating — its modelled yield.

  3. 07

    Monitoring

    Live app dashboard. Alerts on performance drift, inverter faults or string issues — often before you notice.

  4. 08

    Maintenance

    Optional annual plan from £150/yr. Panel clean, electrical check, inverter firmware, written report.

Questions we hear

Common questions, answered plainly.

Do I need planning permission?

For most homes, no — solar falls under permitted development. Listed buildings and conservation areas need approval; we handle the application.

How long do panels last?

25+ years with output warranty of at least 85% at year 25. Real-world systems commonly exceed this.

Will it work on a north-facing roof?

Less ideal, not a dealbreaker. East/west gives ~85% of south. North typically ~60%. We model your specific roof.

Does this affect my mortgage?

MCS-certified installs are recognised by lenders and typically add 4–5% to property value. Your certificate is the proof document.
