England-first checklist

Compare what is written, not what sounds similar.

Use written quotes and ask installers to clarify missing fields. SolarQuote Check aligns entered facts; it does not validate system design or installer suitability.

01

Price and scope

Make sure both totals describe the same installed job before comparing headline price.

  • Total price and whether VAT is included
  • Installation, scaffolding, roof or enabling work
  • DNO application or notification
  • Monitoring, bird proofing, and provisional costs
02

System assumptions

Put system size and installer-provided performance assumptions on equal footing.

  • Solar array size and battery capacity
  • Quoted annual generation
  • Self-consumption and export assumptions
  • Tariff assumptions and quoted annual savings
03

Protection and handover

Compare protection during purchase and documents supplied after commissioning.

  • Panel, inverter, battery, and workmanship warranties
  • Consumer code and deposit protection
  • Commissioning and MCS documentation
  • Monitoring access and handover documents
