Solar starts with understanding what’s right for your home

There is a lot to consider when investing in solar, from how many panels you need to whether battery storage, EV charging or a particular tariff could help you get more from your energy.

That’s why we created The Solar House. Instead of starting with a sales visit, you can come to one of our showrooms, meet our team and see the technology for yourself. We’ll look at your home and energy use, talk you through your personalised savings and help you understand how everything could work together before you decide what comes next.

experience

01

Showroom visit

Before you commit to anything, we invite you into our showroom where we run a free Return on Investment Assessment for your home. We look at your electricity usage, your roof and how you actually live, then show you what a system would generate, what it would save and how long it would take to pay for itself. In real numbers, for your house, not a best-case example from a leaflet. And if the numbers don't stack up for your property, we'll tell you honestly rather than talk you into something that won't deliver.

02

Site survey

If we think your house is suitable for solar and you'd like to go ahead, one of our team will visit your home to check everything properly: the roof, the loft, your consumer unit and where the battery and inverter would sit. It's the person who understands the installation looking at the job, not a salesperson filling in a form. Once they've confirmed the details, you'll get a clear quotation for the whole project. You'll see exactly what's included, and you can take your time to decide.

Installation

Once your survey is done, your dedicated project manager will be in touch to book your installation date. They'll walk you through what happens and when, from the scaffolding to the panels and electrical work, and stay your single point of contact throughout. 
If anything's ever unclear along the way, you'll know exactly who to call, and most installs are wrapped up within a couple of days.

Aftercare

Getting the panels on the roof isn't the end of the job. We connect your system to the grid, handle the registrations and paperwork, and make sure everything is performing exactly as it should before we sign it off. We'll also help you get set up with your electricity supplier so you're paid for anything you export. And when a question pops into your head six months later, about your app, your bills or adding a battery, the showroom is still there. Ring us or drop in.

    “Outstanding from start to finish. They deliver what they say they will do and after sales support is second to none. Total professional and high level of integrity and trust.”

    “The initial meeting was very informative and a no pressure environment (in fact Wayne and Dan recommended that we get in contact with other providers to compare against their proposal).”

    “We were given good advice and allowed to go through the process and make decisions at our own pace. We have had solar, battery storage and an EV charger installed.”

    “Dan couldn't have been more helpful during my two visits to Solar House. He answered all my questions gave me lots of time, never rushed me and at no time did I feel pressurised to buy.”

    “The after care has also been great and if you need to call for any reason to ask a question they actually pick up the phone and answer! Will absolutely be recommending Solar House.”

    “From start to finish absolutely fantastic, everything was so efficient polite and friendly, unbelievably quick and so tidy nothing out of place, highly recommend this company to anyone”

    “No pressure, clear explanations, quick efficient installation. have already recommended this firm to my clients.”

    “From start to finish the team at The Solar House have been fantastic, from selecting the best fit configuration to planning and gaining approval for the system installation, and the installation itself has been very professionally completed.”

    Everything your home needs to use energy smarter

    We know that every home is different. We look at how you actually use energy and design something that fits, whether that's panels on their own or a full setup with battery storage and a car charger.

    Your questions answered

    Most roofs are. South-facing is best, but east and west-facing roofs work well too, and we'll check for shading from trees, chimneys or neighbouring buildings. If your roof isn't a good fit, we'll tell you rather than sell you something that won't deliver.

    You buy less electricity from the grid, so your bills come down and future price rises hurt less. You can be paid for the power you export, your proposal shows how long your own system should take to pay for itself, and you cut your home's carbon emissions year after year.

    For many homes, yes. A battery stores the solar you don't use during the day so you can use it in the evening, and on a time-of-use tariff it can charge when electricity is cheapest. Whether it's worth it for you depends on how you live, and we'll show you the numbers either way.

    Most home chargers are 7 kW, which works with any electric car that uses the standard Type 2 plug (almost every EV sold in the UK). We'll check your car, your driveway and your electrics, and go through which charger suits how you drive.

    Your showroom visit is free and there's nothing to sign on the day. If you'd like to go ahead, the survey comes next, then a clear quotation for the whole project. There are no discount deadlines; take your quote, compare it with others and come back if it makes sense for you.

    Getting the panels on the roof isn't the end of the job. If a question pops into your head six months later, about your app, your bills or adding a battery, ring us or drop into the showroom. You'll speak to people who answer the phone and know your system.
