NICEIC solar installer checks

Understand the claim before comparing installers

Check a company’s current NICEIC registration and the work it covers using the official tradesperson finder. A historical directory category is not a live register check.

Use the official NICEIC information. Source checked 19 September 2026.

Check the company that will carry out the work

Ask which registered business is responsible for the electrical work and whether the claimed registration covers the work proposed. A general electrical registration and certification for a particular renewable technology are different checks.

A company website may contain an old badge, and a similarly named business may be a different legal entity. If the official source and company information disagree, ask the scheme operator or business to clarify before treating the claim as current. We do not independently certify directory entries.

Agree the scope and paperwork

Request the electrical testing, completion documents and aftercare scope in writing. Read the terms of any scheme protection directly, including the types of work and circumstances it covers.

Tell the contractor whether you need a new installation, a battery retrofit or repairs to an existing system. Ask about recent experience with your equipment and property type, postcode coverage and who responds to problems after handover. A company's credentials alone do not tell you whether it accepts your particular job.

Compare companies using the same brief

Give shortlisted companies the same address, requirements and existing-system information. Request exact equipment models, a survey scope, installed price, exclusions and separate product and workmanship warranty terms. Check the assumptions behind output or savings estimates and ask for changes to the agreed scope in writing.

Use our battery installation guide for storage questions, repair guide for existing faults, or services and brands directory to explore other requirements.
