An independent broker,
not another sales rep.
The Solar Broker was built 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. We sit 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 our team 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
Advice before equipment. Evidence before promises.
To give homeowners clear, impartial and technically grounded advice so they can make confident renewable-energy decisions without pressure or confusion.
To become the trusted independent standard for domestic solar, storage and home-energy advice across the South West and beyond.
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.
We favour established manufacturers with accessible technical support, documented warranties and products that can be maintained in the future.
We compare the equipment, workmanship, protections, service and total price, not simply the cheapest headline figure.
We consider how long the company has traded, its accounts and company history, customer feedback and its ability to support installations after completion.
We review workmanship, documentation, communication and aftercare, not only online review scores.
Where an installer offers finance, we check the relevant authorisation and expect the full cost of borrowing to be explained clearly.
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 they are.
A 10-minute call is the fastest way to know if solar suits your home.
No sales script. we'll tell you honestly whether it stacks up, and if it doesn't, we'll tell you that too.
