Different assumptions
One quote may value every generated unit while another models realistic home use and export.
Compare the numbers, audit the missing evidence, generate the installer questions and control every change through installation and handover.
Built around the evidence a serious UK solar proposal should make clear.
System sizes, self-use assumptions, export rates and exclusions vary. A cheap headline can become an expensive choice when the evidence is incomplete.
One quote may value every generated unit while another models realistic home use and export.
Scaffolding, electrical upgrades, bird protection, monitoring and making good may sit outside the headline price.
Product, workmanship and insurance-backed warranties are different things—and need separate evidence.
This is a connected decision workflow: compare, audit, question, verify, decide and control delivery.
Start with a quick comparison, then audit roof design, battery performance, backup, contract terms, deposits, variations and aftercare.
Record the selected quote, unresolved conditions, final checks, price, reasoning and decision date in one clean summary.
Follow the quote from generation assumptions and battery value to scope, protection, installation and handover.
Ask each installer for the system design, generation estimate, itemised scope, warranties and consumer protection.
Normalise price and savings, then check roof design, battery backup, deposits, exclusions, warranties and contract terms.
Select a quote and the workbook creates a prioritised request list you can copy into an installer email.
Save a final summary, track quote revisions, payment milestones, handover documents and unresolved snags.
Use 12 essential checks before you sign. No email, no account and no installer referral.
