What to look for in a commercial solar PV installer
Key strength |
Why it matters |
|
Comprehensive site assessment |
A professional installer will assess roof structure, electrical capacity, and shading to ensure the system performs safely and efficiently. |
|
Accreditation and compliance |
Look for MCS, NICEIC, and SafeContractor approval. These guarantee installations meet UK safety and performance standards, with proper testing and certification. |
|
System design and optimisation |
The best contractors tailor systems to your site’s energy demand profile, using smart inverters, export limitation, and battery-ready design to maximise yield. |
|
Integration with wider energy systems |
Choose installers experienced in linking solar PV with EV charging, heating systems, and energy monitoring platforms for complete building efficiency. |
|
Maintenance and performance monitoring |
Prioritise partners that offer full aftercare, remote monitoring, and regular maintenance to sustain output over 25+ years. |
