NEW SOLAR, WITH OR WITHOUT A BATTERY
Solar panels, or
solar with a battery?
Start with how you use electricity. Then explore which system to ask an installer about.
Considering a battery too?
Store some solar electricity for later use. Whether a battery is worthwhile depends on its cost, capacity, your usage and tariff.

A PRACTICAL START
Know what affects
your solar options.
Your roof
Ask about orientation, shading, roof condition and the usable space for panels.
Your usage
Have an electricity bill ready. When you use power matters as well as how much you use.
Your budget
Compare equipment, scaffolding, installation, warranties and exclusions in writing. A headline price is only a starting point.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Your solar questions,
answered.
Are you a solar installer?
No. This is an independent solar referral service. We do not install equipment, survey roofs or provide an installation warranty. An installation provider would be responsible for its own advice, quote and work.
Which projects can I explore?
New solar, new solar with a battery, existing solar PV repair and home battery storage each have an enquiry path. For existing panels or storage without solar, see the storage guide. Repair and standalone-storage provider acceptance is unconfirmed; enquiries go to Bristol Solar Panel Installers.
What does a new solar installation cost?
As a starting benchmark, Energy Saving Trust gives around £7,600 for a typical 4.5kWp home system. This is not a Bristol quote. Read our cost guide and source for context.
Will this enquiry send my details to anyone?
Yes. The form sends your contact and project details to our enquiry service. We review them before discussing a possible introduction to a local installer. It does not automatically forward them to an installer or book an appointment.
Do solar panels work on every roof?
No. Orientation, shading, roof condition and usable space all need consideration. A property assessment is needed before a system can be specified. See Energy Saving Trust’s guide for more information.
