What to Look For in a Solar Panel Quote
Choosing between solar panel quotes can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re new to solar energy. From warranties and installation costs to system sizes, battery storage and accreditations, there’s a lot to consider before making a decision.
At SolarTherm UK, we understand that solar panels are a long-term investment. That’s why it’s important to choose a system that not only suits your property and energy usage, but also delivers reliability, performance and value for years to come.
When comparing solar panel quotes, it’s important to look beyond just the headline price. Factors such as product quality, installer experience, system performance, warranties and industry accreditations can all have a significant impact on the long-term value of your installation.
You may also come across technical terms such as kilowatt hours (kWh), inverter sizes and battery capacities. While these can seem confusing at first, they all play an important role in determining how much energy your system can generate, store and save.
To help make the process easier, we’ve broken down the key things you should look for when reviewing a solar panel quote, so you can make an informed decision with confidence.
Company Accreditations
When comparing solar panel quotes, it’s important to check that the company providing the installation is properly accredited. Industry accreditations help ensure your system is installed safely, performs as expected and meets recognised quality standards.
At a minimum, your solar installer should hold the following accreditations:
MCS Certification
The Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) sets the recognised standards for renewable energy installations in the UK. MCS-certified installers are regularly assessed to ensure they meet strict industry requirements for quality, safety and performance.
HIES
HIES provides consumer protection for renewable energy installations. HIES-accredited installers are vetted and monitored, while customers benefit from deposit protection, insurance-backed guarantees and access to independent consumer support.
EPVS
EPVS helps ensure solar panel quotes and performance calculations are accurate and transparent. Installers registered with EPVS use accredited calculation methods designed to prevent misleading performance claims and mis-selling.
NICEIC
NICEIC is one of the UK’s leading certification bodies for electrical contractors. NICEIC certification demonstrates that installers are qualified to carry out electrical work safely and in accordance with current regulations and standards.
FCA Registration
If your solar panel quote includes finance options, the company should also be authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). FCA regulation helps ensure finance products are presented clearly, responsibly and fairly, while also protecting consumers throughout the process.
Warranties
Solar panels are a long-term investment, so it’s important to understand exactly what warranties are included within your solar panel quote. A high-quality system should provide reliable performance for many years, and strong warranties can offer valuable peace of mind.
Always check the warranty periods for every major component included in the installation. Solar panels themselves typically come with the longest cover, with many leading manufacturers offering warranties of 25 years or more for product performance and output.
Other components, such as inverters and battery storage systems, often have shorter warranty periods and may require replacement or maintenance during the lifetime of the system. These potential future costs should be considered when reviewing projected savings and return on investment figures.
At SolarTherm UK, we only install trusted, high-quality products backed by reliable manufacturer warranties, helping to ensure long-term performance and value.
Your Property
No two properties are the same, which is why every solar panel quote should be tailored specifically to your home or business.
When reviewing a quote, it’s important to ensure the installer has properly assessed factors such as roof orientation, roof pitch, shading and available roof space. These all have a direct impact on how efficiently a solar PV system will perform and how much electricity it can generate.
If these details are not accurately considered, projected savings and return on investment figures may be unrealistic or misleading.
A professionally designed solar system should be based on both your property and your energy usage patterns, ensuring the system is correctly sized to maximise performance, efficiency and long-term savings.
This doesn’t necessarily mean the installer would need to come to your property to make these assessments. In this modern age, solar panels quotes can often be very accurately calculated using satellite imagery and 3D modelling software to predict sun-paths, irradiance and shading.
Your Energy Consumption
Your energy usage plays a major role in determining the size, performance and potential savings of your solar PV system. That’s why a good solar panel quote should always include estimated savings projections and an expected return on investment based on your annual electricity consumption.
In most cases, your installer will use the annual usage figures taken from your energy bills to help design the most suitable system for your property. This information helps determine how many solar panels you may need, whether battery storage would be beneficial and how much electricity your system is likely to generate and offset.
If your energy usage has not been accurately considered, projected savings figures may be unrealistic. A properly tailored quote should reflect both your current electricity consumption and how you use energy throughout the day.
At SolarTherm UK, every solar panel system is designed around your individual energy requirements, helping to maximise efficiency, long-term savings and return on investment.
If you are planning to increase your usage in the future, for example with an EV – let the installer know when you are getting the solar panel quote so this can be accounted for.
Your Usage Pattern
When reviewing a solar panel quote, it’s important to consider not just how much energy you use, but also when you use it.
For example, if your property is unoccupied for most of the day, much of the electricity generated by your solar PV system during peak daylight hours may not be used immediately. In many cases, this excess electricity is automatically exported back to the grid.
In situations like this, adding battery storage to your solar system can significantly improve efficiency and savings. A solar battery allows surplus electricity generated during the day to be stored and used later when your energy demand is higher, such as during the evening. This can help reduce reliance on grid electricity and improve the overall return on investment from your system.
A well-designed solar panel quote should take your daily energy usage patterns into account and assess whether battery storage would be beneficial for your property.
Installation Costs
When comparing solar panel quotes, always make sure the installation costs are clearly included and fully explained.
A professional quote should account for all essential installation requirements, including equipment, labour and site access provisions such as scaffolding where required. Additional factors such as roof type, property access and system complexity can all influence installation costs.
Transparent pricing is important to avoid unexpected charges later in the process. A reputable installer should clearly outline what is included within the quote so you can accurately compare systems and understand the true cost of the installation.
At SolarTherm UK, we provide clear, tailored quotes with installation costs fully considered from the outset, helping you make an informed decision with confidence.
Is Finance Available for Solar Panels?
Yes — SolarTherm UK is an FCA-authorised credit broker (not a lender), offering a range of finance options to help spread the cost of your solar panel installation.
We understand that solar panels are a significant investment, which is why flexible finance packages may be available to make switching to solar more affordable and accessible.
