How long it takes
Most home solar installations are completed within a day or two, depending on the size of the system and your roof. We will give you a clear timescale before we start, and our team works tidily and efficiently to get you up and running with as little disruption as possible.
After installation
Once your system is installed and switched on, we make sure everything is working correctly and show you how it all works. We also handle the registration and paperwork on your behalf, so there is nothing complicated for you to sort out. From then on, your system quietly gets on with lowering your bills.
Frequently asked questions
How long does installation take?
Most home installations are finished within one to two days, depending on the size of the system and the layout of your roof. We will confirm the timescale with you before any work begins.
Is it disruptive?
We aim to keep disruption to a minimum. Our installers work tidily, protect your home as they go, and clear up after themselves. Most of the work happens outside on the roof, so day-to-day life inside your home carries on much as normal.
Do you handle the paperwork?
Yes. We take care of the registration and paperwork that comes with a new solar and battery system, so you do not have to worry about the admin. We will explain anything you need to know in plain language.
