YOUR SOLAR PANELS & BATTERIES QUOTE

Solar panels & batteries: what to check before accepting a quote

A solar proposal should explain the equipment, installation work and assumptions behind any performance estimate.

01

Exact equipment and assumptions

Record panel, inverter and battery models, usable battery capacity, roof layout and generation assumptions. Performance projections are estimates, not guaranteed savings.

02

Electrical and network work

Confirm scaffolding, cabling, consumer-unit changes and network notification or permission. Ask who handles each task and whether its cost is included.

03

Certificates, tariffs and aftercare

Check certification accepted by your intended export tariff provider. Record warranty providers, registration deadlines, monitoring access and any ongoing fees.

These are points to clarify, not findings about your quotation or installer. Your report is prepared from your answers; we do not inspect your written quote or property.

Turn the questions into a useful record.

Choose the report, the agreement or both for the same job.
