Most homeowners compare a single kitchen-table quote against their gut. We compare around three quotes from our small MCS-vetted panel, like-for-like, side-by-side, and every installer paying us the exact same commission rate so the recommendation is based on your job, not our margin.
~3 like-for-like quotes · MCS-vetted panel of ~4 installers · Same commission from every installer · £1M Public Liability
Comparing solar quotes properly is genuinely hard. Panels differ, inverters differ, warranties differ, the small print differs, and installers are not obliged to quote like-for-like. Our job is to take that mess and turn it into a clean side-by-side comparison of around three quotes from installers we already trust.
We brief each installer on the same specification derived from the drone survey and design software, collect their quotes, normalise them into a comparable format, and walk you through the differences that actually matter, panel tier, inverter choice, warranty length, workmanship guarantee, timeline and total cost. You keep the quotes and contract directly with whichever installer you choose.
Anyone in the EX, TQ, TA or PL postcodes considering solar, battery storage, EV charging or backup power. Also anyone who already holds one quote and wants an independent second and third opinion before signing.
After the free consultation and drone survey, the like-for-like specification comes out of that visit. Before the on-site design, quote comparison is guesswork rather than comparison.
Every installer on our panel pays the same commission rate. There is no financial reason for us to steer you to one over another. There is a very strong reason for us to steer you to the installer who genuinely fits your job, because our reputation is built on the customer's outcome, not the installer's margin.
Most solar regret starts with a same-evening decision on a single quote. Comparison exists so you're not making that decision alone.
A 10–20 minute call to understand your bill, your home and what you actually want from your quote comparison. No sales script, Dan answers his own phone.
Dan attends 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 Dan's number. Independently underwritten guarantees stand even if the installer changes shape, and any dispute is escalated by us on your behalf.
Every installer briefed on the same spec so you're comparing panels, inverters, warranties and timelines that actually match.
Around four installers total | a mix of local and national | all held to the same seven criteria. If they slip, they come off the list.
Every installer pays the exact same rate, so recommendations are based on your job, not our margin.
Scaffold, DNO fees, extras | nothing hidden in the small print. We walk you through the full line items on every quote.
You sign with the installer, not with us. Guarantees, aftercare and consumer rights sit exactly where they should.
Already holding a quote? Bring it. We benchmark it honestly against the panel, even if you decide to go with the one you already have.
What the comparison actually looks like on the page: and why the small differences matter more than the headline price.
Panel manufacturer and warranty length, inverter make and warranty, battery cells and cycles (if included), workmanship guarantee, MCS certification number, insurance cover, scaffold and DNO costs, EPVS registration, and the full itemised price. Everything sits in a single side-by-side view so nothing is hidden in the pricing structure.
The cheapest solar quote is often the most expensive over ten years. Cheaper panels, budget inverters, thinner workmanship warranties and no aftercare all show up eventually, usually about the point the salesperson has moved companies. We flag when the cheapest quote is quietly quoting different kit.
MCS certification, £1M Public Liability, Which? Trusted Trader vetting, EPVS registration, independently underwritten workmanship guarantees, transparent pricing, and answered phones after installation. Seven criteria. Any installer who fails one comes off the panel, no exceptions.
A small panel of installers we know well beats a marketplace of hundreds we barely know. Around four installers is enough to give you three genuine quotes on almost any job while staying small enough that we know how each of them behaves after installation, which is the part of the quote that never appears in writing.
We won't push you to the installer who paid the most (they all pay the same). We won't rush the decision. We won't broker jobs to installers we wouldn't hire ourselves. And we won't take a fee from you at any point, the model is broker-paid-by-installer, always.

A 10–20 minute phone call, no obligation. Honest advice on whether solar makes sense for your home.
Independent design and installer selection for roof-mounted solar systems, tailored to your consumption and roof.
Dan doesn't disappear after install. You keep his direct number and he steps in to resolve any aftercare issue with the installer, whenever it comes up.
Every installer paid the same commission. You contract direct. You never pay us at any stage.
