An independent broker,
not another sales rep.
Dan Reeves built The Solar Broker to give Devon & Somerset homeowners the one thing the solar industry rarely offers, genuinely impartial advice, backed by a vetted network of MCS-certified installers.
Built to replace the hard-sell with honest numbers.
Most homeowners' first experience of solar is a commission-hungry sales rep quoting a made-up "today only" discount. That model pushes oversized systems on the wrong roofs, hides the small print, and leaves people paying more than they should for equipment that doesn't always fit.
The Solar Broker exists to replace that experience. Dan sits on your side of the table, surveying the roof personally with a licensed drone, running the design in paid-for professional software, and matching your household consumption to the installer and kit that actually make sense.
We cover the EX, TQ, TA and PL postcodes across Devon & Somerset, and Dan is on the phone 24/7 for real people, not a call centre.
- Devon & Somerset homeowners tired of pushy solar sales calls
- Households wanting an honest yes/no on whether solar suits them
- Buyers who want vetted installers, not the cheapest headline price
- Existing solar owners looking to add batteries, EV chargers or backup
Seven non-negotiables every installer on our panel meets.
These are the checks that filter our panel, not marketing lines. If an installer fails one, they don't get referred, full stop.
Required across every installer we work with, the standard that protects grants and the Smart Export Guarantee.
Warranties backed by an independent insurer, so cover holds even if the installer goes out of business.
Panels, inverters and batteries from manufacturers with real track records, not white-label unknowns.
Priced fairly for the specification, not marked up to fund a hard-sell sales team.
Which? Trusted Trader status used as one signal that the business is here for the long term.
Established installers with a demonstrable history of clean handovers and aftercare.
Every installer offering finance is FCA-approved: regulated checks passed, not the cheapest headline rate.
Verifiable facts, not vanity numbers.
Every installer certified, the standard that protects grants and the Smart Export Guarantee.
Broker-side cover on every site visit and survey we carry out.
Workmanship warranties held by an insurer, cover holds even if the installer closes.
Personal DBS check on file, the person on your roof is who we say he is.
A 10-minute call is the fastest way to know if solar suits your home.
No sales script. Dan will tell you honestly whether it stacks up, and if it doesn't, he'll tell you that too.
