REH editorial starter discussion. Prepared by REH to invite genuine community replies.
REH starter discussion — UK.
Start with the scope: panel capacity in kWp, estimated annual generation in kWh, inverter, scaffolding, roof work, electrical work and handover documents. Ask whether a battery is included and compare warranties and aftercare. A cheaper total can reflect a smaller system or missing work. Get the companies to explain the differences in writing before choosing on headline price.
Join the discussion: Share the system sizes and itemised totals, with names, addresses and reference numbers removed.
Suggested next step: Request like-for-like solar quotes, then compare scope and expected generation.
