The first conversation is always free, always with our specialist personally, and always honest. If solar is not right for your home, we will tell you on the call. If it is, you will have three vetted quotes to compare and a broker who is still on the end of the phone in five years.
10–20 minute call · No obligation · we answer our own phone · Phone answered 24/7
The free consultation is where we start with every household. It is a ten to twenty minute phone call with our specialist personally, not a call centre, not a chatbot, not a script, and it sets the shape of everything that follows. It is also where we quietly disqualify the jobs that should not go ahead.
A structured phone call covering your current electricity bill and tariff, your roof and property type, your household routine (when you use power, whether you have an EV, whether anyone is home in the day), and what you are actually trying to achieve, bill reduction, resilience, grid independence, or a mix. By the end of the call you know whether solar is worth pursuing and what the realistic shape of a system would look like.
Anyone in the EX, TQ, TA, or PL postcodes thinking about solar, batteries, EV charging, or backup power. Also anyone who has already had a solar quote elsewhere and wants an independent sanity check before signing.
Whenever you like. our phone is answered every day of the week, and the consultation can happen on the same call or scheduled for a time that suits you.
A free consultation with an independent broker who does not sell you the hardware is genuinely different to a free consultation with a solar company that does. There is no incentive for us to talk you into something that does not fit. There is a strong incentive for us to say no honestly, because a broker whose customers are happy in five years is a broker with a business in five years.
Most solar regret starts with a kitchen-table quote from someone who was paid on commission to close it. The free consultation exists to replace that conversation.
A 10–20 minute call to understand your bill, your home and what you actually want from your free consultation. No sales script, we answer our own phone.
we attend personally, flies a licensed drone over the roof, and designs the system in paid bespoke software, not a free web tool. Site visits typically within 2–3 days of your call.
Around three like-for-like quotes from the small panel of MCS installers we vet against seven strict criteria. Every installer pays us the same commission, so there is no hidden reason to favour one.
You contract directly with your chosen installer. They complete the work to MCS standards, and we cross-check the commissioning paperwork, EPVS registration and grant applications on your behalf.
You keep our number. Independently underwritten guarantees stand even if the installer changes shape, and any dispute is escalated by us on your behalf.
You pay nothing to us | ever. The installer pays a commission, less than half what a typical solar rep takes.
Every installer on our panel pays the exact same commission rate. No financial reason for us to favour one.
If solar is wrong for your home, we'll tell you on the call. A quiet 'not right for you' is often the most valuable outcome of the conversation.
You keep our number after the call. Whether you proceed or not, the follow-up questions are always answered by the same person.
You do not sign anything with us. You do not commit to a survey, a quote, or a purchase. You can stop at any point.
If the call goes well and you want to move forward, the on-site drone survey typically follows within two to three days.
This is what actually happens on the call, and why the shape of the conversation matters as much as the answers.
Your current unit rate, your standing charge, your annual consumption, and, where possible, your half-hourly usage pattern from a smart meter. This tells us how much of your bill solar can realistically shift and how much would benefit from a battery on top.
Roof type (tiled, slated, flat), aspects (which directions face where), shading (chimneys, dormers, mature trees, neighbouring buildings), rough age of the roof covering, and any planning constraints (listed status, conservation area). This informs whether the site visit is straightforward or needs extra thought.
When people are home, whether anyone works from home, whether you have or plan to have an EV, whether you have a heat pump or intend to, and what your evening peak looks like. Solar economics live in the details of how you actually use electricity, not in the annual total.
A clear yes / no / maybe on whether solar makes sense for your specific home, a realistic shape of what a system would look like, an honest view on payback, and a sense of which grants and incentives you might qualify for. If it is a maybe, the site visit is the next step. If it is a no, we say so and part on good terms.
If you want to proceed, we schedule an on-site drone survey, typically within two to three days. If you want time to think about it, you keep our number and can call back whenever suits. There is no follow-up sales sequence and no drip of nudges from an unfamiliar number.
Can't see your question? Speak directly to us, no call-centre script and no pressure to book.
Find out whether solar is worthwhile for your home, how many panels will fit and what the system could realistically generate.
We calculate whether a battery is likely to improve your savings, resilience or use of cheaper overnight electricity, rather than adding one automatically.
Your roof is inspected and measured before we recommend a system, helping avoid unsuitable layouts, overlooked shading and unrealistic generation estimates.
Free, no obligation, and answered by our specialist personally. If solar is not right for your home, he'll say so on the call.
