Four steps, each with something in writing

The same sequence for every home, from a ten-panel roof to a full Independence system.

  1. 1

    Survey

    We come to your house. The lead engineer checks the roof, the shading across the day, the loft, the consumer unit and the route for cables. We go through 12 months of your electricity use together, so the design starts from how you actually live.

    What you receive

    • A measured record of your roof and shading
    • A clear view of your usage by day and by evening
    • Answers to anything you want to ask, in person

    Design

    Back at the desk, we size the panels to your daytime use and the battery to your evenings, then choose an export tariff for your household. You see the design on screen, with the layout on your roof, and we change it until it is right.

    What you receive

    • The panel layout on a model of your roof
    • A system sized to your own bills
    • Solar only and solar with battery, compared side by side

    Plan

    You receive a written Home Energy Plan: the system, the fixed price, and the savings and payback we forecast. The price in the plan is the price in your contract. Read it, sleep on it, and go ahead when you are ready.

    What you receive

    • Your Home Energy Plan, in writing
    • One fixed price, with nothing added on installation day
    • The forecast we will check against your real bills

    Year-one check

    Twelve months after handover we compare what the system actually made with the forecast in your plan. If it has fallen short for a reason within our control, we put it right at our cost. Before that, at six months, we clean the panels and check the whole system.

    What you receive

    • A six-month clean and health check
    • A year-one review against your written forecast
    • The Forecast Promise, in your contract

Five promises, in writing.

Solar is a 25-year decision. These go into your contract.

  • Forecast Promise

    If your system produces less than we forecast in its first year, for reasons within our control, we put it right at our cost.

  • Workmanship warranty

    Our workmanship is covered by an insurance-backed warranty, so your cover continues whatever happens to us.

  • Response Promise

    A reply within one working day, from someone who knows your system.

  • Fixed Price Promise

    The price on your signed contract is the price you pay. Nothing is added on installation day.

  • Tidy Home Promise

    Scaffolding down promptly, cables hidden or neatly trunked, and your home left as we found it.
