Helping UK Homeowners & Businesses Go Solar
We help homeowners and businesses find and compare solar installation companies, but we do not carry out installations ourselves. A listing is not an endorsement or a guarantee of an installer’s work. Please confirm services, qualifications and terms directly with the company before appointing it. SolarInstallersUK is an independent directory and is not affiliated with, owned by or operated by any solar installer listed on this website.
Why Go Solar?
Switching to solar energy isn’t just about reducing bills—it’s about taking control of your energy use and making a long-term investment in sustainability. Here’s why more UK homeowners and businesses are making the move:
- Lower Energy Bills – Generate your own electricity and reduce reliance on the grid.
- Funding and Export Payments – Check location-specific support and export tariffs separately; eligibility is not automatic.
- Increase Property Value – Solar installations can add value to your home.
- Environmental Benefits – Cut your carbon footprint by using clean, renewable energy.
- Energy Security – Protect against rising energy costs by generating your own power.

Solar funding and export payments: check your location
Support depends on the scheme, property and current delivery arrangements. These are different types of support, not interchangeable solar grants. Reviewed 23 September 2026; each guide links to the official source.
- Warm Homes: Local Grant – Council-delivered improvements for eligible homes in England; solar panels may be included after assessment.
- Nest – Assessed home energy improvements in Wales, potentially including solar panels.
- ECO4 – A supplier obligation extended to 31 December 2026, with availability dependent on supplier delivery. Not a guaranteed cash grant; battery storage is not eligible.
- Home Energy Scotland – New solar PV and battery applications are no longer funded under its Grant and Loan scheme. Solar water heating has different loan terms.
- SEAI solar PV grant – For eligible homes in the Republic of Ireland, not Northern Ireland. Obtain approval before works.
- Smart Export Guarantee – Payment for eligible exported electricity in Great Britain, not upfront installation funding.
For Northern Ireland, use NI Direct’s current solar-support guidance. A directory badge does not establish eligibility or mean the installer is an appointed scheme contractor.
Certified & Trusted Installers
We only list installers who meet industry standards, holding key certifications such as:
- MCS Accreditation – Check the current register and the requirements of the specific funding or export scheme.
- NICEIC Certification – Verifying electrical safety and compliance.
- NAPIT Accreditation – Another trusted certification for installers.
- RECC Membership – Consumer protection for solar customers.
These certifications mean you get a qualified, reputable installer who follows industry regulations and safety standards.
Solar Panel Options: Find the Right Fit for You
Not all solar systems are the same. Depending on your needs, you may want:
- Solar PV Panels – Generate electricity from sunlight.
- Solar Battery Storage – Store excess power for use when the sun isn’t shining.
- Solar Thermal Systems – Heat water using solar energy.
- Off-Grid Solar Solutions – Ideal for remote areas or complete energy independence.
Each system has its benefits, and the right installer will help you choose what works best for your home or business.
