The standards we require of every matched installer
We are an independent guidance and quote-matching service, not an installation contractor. Every installer we put in front of you must hold the certifications a UK commercial solar installer should hold — each verifiable against the issuing body before you sign anything.
- MCS Commercial Certification — verifiable at mcscertified.com
- NICEIC Approved Contractor — verifiable at niceic.com
- RECC Membership — verifiable at recc.org.uk
- TrustMark Licence — verifiable at trustmark.org.uk
- Insurance-backed workmanship warranty — 10-year cover as standard
- Public liability and employer's liability insurance — evidence on request before site access
Our own commitments are simpler: sourced 2026 rates and grant data (last reviewed July 2026), no installer agenda, and a free matching service — you pay us nothing, and we tell you honestly when a site does not suit solar.

Get your college funding & feasibility summary
Tell us about your institution and we'll email a governor-ready funding & feasibility summary: which routes actually apply to you (Salix, PSDS, Great British Energy, mayoral and combined-authority schemes), an indicative system size and capex band worked from your electricity spend, and any red-flag eligibility issues. A desk exercise from what you send — no site visit needed to start.
What we won't do: pass your details to installers without your permission, add you to marketing lists, or ring you out of the blue — we don't even ask for a phone number.
Why we ask what we ask: your spend and postcode set the indicative system size, capex band and which regional schemes you can access — without them the summary would be generic. Reviewed by SEO Dons Editorial. We are an independent advisory, not an installer.
