Solar panel installers, wherever you are in the UK

Each city guide covers the local housing, the planning rules that apply and the company that runs your grid connection. It also explains which support schemes exist in England, Scotland or Wales. Because these details differ, a local view helps you ask better questions.

How local coverage works
We do not run a local office in each city. Instead, we pass your enquiry to MCS-certified installers that already work in your postcode area. As a result, you compare real local quotes.
Before you choose, read about MCS-certified installations and our guide to comparing solar quotes.
What changes from place to place
Housing is the biggest difference. Tenements in Glasgow, Tyneside flats in Newcastle and back-to-backs in Leeds each raise their own roof questions. Because shared roofs need agreement from every owner, the first step is often a conversation with neighbours.
Planning and support also vary. Scotland and Wales have their own planning rules and support schemes, while England follows national rules with local conservation areas on top. Each guide explains what applies, so you can ask the right questions.
Money matters are national, although the detail changes. VAT on fitting is 0% in Great Britain until 31 March 2027, and export payments come through the Smart Export Guarantee. Our guide to how much solar panels cost puts the numbers in context.
Grid connection also differs by region. A different network operator runs the grid in each part of the country, so the paperwork goes to a different company. Your installer files it, but our guides name the operator so you know who is involved. For example, Northern Powergrid covers Yorkshire and the North East, while SP Energy Networks covers central Scotland.
