Engineer-Led Solar Installation

Built for measurable performance and long-term certainty

Every system begins with a structured Solar Performance Assessment.

You’re Not Buying Solar Panels.

You’re Buying Certainty.

Solar is a 20 to 30 year decision. It should feel certain from day one.

You can be certain that Solar Panel Installers UK will design your solar system around your lifestyle, not just the size of your roof.

Engineering & Certification by Array Electrics Ltd

Planning, installation, testing and MCS certification are carried out exclusively by Array Electrics Ltd, our approved electrical division.

VERIFIED CUSTOMER REVIEWS ACROSS THE UK

Real customer feedback. Verified platforms. Transparent reputation.

Engineered as an Electrical System. Not Sold as a Package

Most solar systems are sold as bundled products.

Ours begin as engineered electrical systems.

Every installation starts with structural verification, inverter sizing, voltage modelling and export capacity planning under UK grid standards.

We design for performance in real operating conditions, not brochure peak figures.

That difference matters over decades.

Engineer-Led Solar Installation

Qualified solar electrician reviewing installation plans on UK rooftop

Designed by electricians who carry the responsibility.

Most solar companies are structured around sales teams.
We are structured around qualified electricians.

That matters because the person designing your system understands:

• Roof load distribution and fixing integrity
Inverter voltage behaviour and phase balance
• Export limitations under G98 and G99 regulations
• Real performance losses in UK operating conditions

When the same team that designs, installs and certifies your system carries responsibility from start to finish, shortcuts disappear.

We calculate load paths and rafter spacing.
We model consumption patterns and export thresholds.
We inspect, measure and engineer properly.

That is the difference between a proposal and a design.

Why Does an Engineer-Led Approach Matter?

Every system is designed by qualified electricians based on property layout, usage profile and long-term performance objectives.

We do not offer pre-set packages. Each installation is engineered to deliver measurable performance, operational efficiency and long-term reliability.

• Bespoke system design grounded in real consumption data
MCS-certified installation for residential and commercial properties
• Scalable solutions from single homes to multi-site facilities
• Structured aftercare with ongoing technical support

Real Performance, Not Peak Figures

Most solar proposals are built around ideal laboratory conditions.
South-facing roof. No shading. Perfect temperature. Peak irradiance.

That is not how solar systems operate in the UK.

UK Irradiation Modelling
System yield modelled using regional irradiation datasets and long-term climate averages, not peak laboratory values.

Performance Ratio FocusEfficiency assessed across real operating conditions, accounting for temperature variation, inverter behaviour and system losses.

 



Seasonal Yield PlanningOutput forecast around winter performance and realistic annual generation, not summer peak output.

 

Consumption
Matching
Generation aligned to actual usage patterns, export thresholds and tariff structure.

 

Typical System Costs and What They Deliver

Engineer-led solar and battery systems designed around your roof, usage profile and tariff structure. Every proposal includes realistic yield modelling, payback projections and a clear installation timeline before you make a decision.

Typical residential systems fall within the indicative ranges below. Commercial projects are modelled individually based on load profile, roof configuration and grid constraints.

System ConfigurationInstalled FromTypical Outcome
4 kWp Solar£5,500–£6,500Reduces daytime grid reliance
4 kWp + 5 kWh Battery£8,500–£9,800Stores surplus generation for evening use
6 kWp + 10 kWh Battery£12,500–£13,500Maximises self-consumption and off-peak optimisation

Zero-rated VAT applies to eligible domestic installations. Figures shown are indicative ranges. Final system sizing is based on property layout, consumption data and tariff structure.

Engineer-Led National Network
National Standards, Installed Locally.

Solar Panel Installers UK defines the engineering standards.
Installations are carried out by our specialist teams operating to those standards nationwide.

We operate as an engineer-led specialist network rather than a sales-led installation model.

Every project begins with a structured system design, performance modelling and electrical planning before an installation is scheduled.

Our exclusive installation partner, Array Electrics, was selected following a detailed review of qualifications, workmanship and customer experience. Installations are delivered to the engineering standards specified and overseen by Solar Panel Installers UK.

This approach ensures a consistent quality nationwide while maintaining accountable local installation teams.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Solar Panel Installers UK a trusted brand?

You get qualified electricians on every job with systems designed for performance. We have 15 years of experience and provide lifetime after care with support for monitoring, performance checks and warranties.

Can you install battery storage and EV chargers?

Yes. We design integrated systems that combine solar panels, battery storage and EV charging so you get the most value from your installation.

Do you offer nationwide coverage?

Yes. We serve homeowners and businesses across the United Kingdom through our directly managed teams and our trusted installation partner, Array Electrics.

Do I need planning permission for solar panels?

Most pitched roof installs are permitted development and need no planning permission. Listed buildings, conservation areas and some flat roofs may need approval. We check this during your survey and handle any permissions if required.

Is my roof suitable and how do you account for shading?

We survey your roof structure, pitch, orientation and shading. We work on tile, slate and metal roofs using the correct mounting systems. If shading is present, we design the system with optimisers or micro inverters for better performance.

Which is better, micro inverters or a string inverter with optimisers?

It depends on your roof layout, shading and monitoring needs. We specify either a high efficiency string inverter with panel level optimisers or a micro inverter system when it makes technical and commercial sense.

How do batteries help reduce my energy bills?

Batteries store excess daytime solar for evening use. They can also charge on off peak tariffs which lets you shift cheaper energy into peak hours. We size the battery to your evening usage and tariff to deliver measurable value.

Can I get paid for exporting excess solar?

Yes. After commissioning you can apply for a Smart Export Guarantee tariff. We provide your MCS certificate and DNO approval so you can register with your chosen energy supplier.

What warranties and after care do you provide?

Panels and inverters come with manufacturer warranties. You also get a workmanship warranty and lifetime after care which includes performance checks, troubleshooting and help with warranty claims if needed.

How long does the whole process take?

After your discovery call and engineer survey, installs are usually scheduled promptly subject to DNO approval and kit availability. Most home installations take one to two days on site. We outline all timelines in your proposal.

What are my options to fund commercial solar?

You can buy outright, lease, or use a Power Purchase Agreement. Outright purchase gives the best lifetime return. A lease spreads the cost and a PPA requires no upfront spend. We model each option so you can compare cashflow, payback and accounting treatment.
