If your question isn't answered here, please call us on 0141 230 0198 or message us on WhatsApp — we're happy to help.
About the calculator
Our monthly repayment estimator is an illustrative tool. You enter your own system price, deposit, term and APR, and it shows an estimated monthly payment and total amount payable. No default APR is pre-filled, because the calculator is not an offer of credit — it is a way for you to explore scenarios using your own figures. A representative example will be provided with any quote we arrange. Loans available, subject to status.
About finance and costs
We do not publish set prices or display our own rates, because the right system and the terms available to you depend on your property and your individual circumstances. Instead, we arrange a no-obligation survey so that the quote you receive reflects your actual home. If you are interested in spreading the cost, a representative example will be provided with any quote, showing the monthly payment, term, APR and total amount payable. Loans available, subject to status.
There is 0% VAT on solar panels and batteries until 31 March 2027 for domestic installations, which your quote will reflect during that period. We do not quote savings in pounds per year or payback in years, because those figures depend on your household's energy use and your roof's generation — and we prefer to give you information based on your actual circumstances after a survey, rather than a generic assumption.
About installation
We arrange surveys and quotes; installation is carried out by our MCS-certified partner. The Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) is an industry-recognised quality standard for small-scale renewable installations in the UK, and using an MCS-certified installer gives you assurance that your system is installed to recognised standards of quality and competence. We quote for paid installations only.
