How we work

Some of our customers come to us after a bad experience with a solar salesman who wouldn't leave without a deposit. We do the opposite, and we take no deposit at all. We talk to you, by phone or at your home, about your roof and how you use electricity, explain your options in a simple way, and send you a written quote to think about.

If you go ahead, our office handles the ordering and paperwork, our scaffolders, roofers and electricians fit most homes in a single day, and we stay on hand afterwards. Customers often mention being able to ring with a question long after the install.

What we install

Who you’ll deal with

A family-run business, so you’ll speak to the same people from your first call to long after the install.

James

Founder and Sales Director, in solar since 2010

James puts your proposal together and talks you through it. He'll answer every question, however many you've got.

Stephanie

Office Manager, in solar since 2013

Stephanie looks after your paperwork, the notice to your electricity network and your handover pack.

Our installation team

Scaffolders, roofers and electricians

The people on your roof on installation day. They fit and switch on your system, most often in a single day, and tidy up as they go.

From first call to switch-on

The whole thing usually takes two to three weeks. Bigger systems that need network approval can take longer.

  1. A free consultation

    By phone or at your home. Tell us how you use electricity and what you'd like from solar. No obligation.

  2. Your written quote

    We design your system and send a written quote with the full price and no hidden fees, then talk you through it.

  3. Technical survey

    Once you've signed, an independent technical surveyor checks where your panels and cables will go. It's included in your price.

  4. Paperwork and approval

    Our office orders your kit and books your date. Systems over 3.68 kW need the network operator's consent first: we apply while your survey is booked, and it can take from a couple of days to 90.

  5. Installation day

    Scaffold up, panels on, system wired in and switched on. Most homes are done in a day.

  6. Handover and aftercare

    We notify your electricity network, email your handover pack within 7 working days, and stay on hand afterwards.

What customers say about us

Rated 5 out of 5 on Trustpilot

Spoke to about 5 companies all singing from the same hymn sheet. Landed with solar save. Seemed like the only ones that genuinely knew what they were talking about.
