"What a superb Company from start to finish… The standard of work is excellent. Everything was done when it was scheduled to be… Probably the best tradesmen's work I have ever had done."

"Brandon was really knowledgeable and helpful with the various options and quotes - and there was no pressure to purchase - but the quotes were very competitive… The post install after service has been great too, and they have followed up to make sure everything is running as expected…"

Certified solar panel installers, with simple ways to pay

Certified and signed off

We're MCS certified, NICEIC approved and TrustMark registered. MCS certification is what lets you claim Smart Export Guarantee payments for the solar power you send to the grid.

Ways to pay

Homes: spread the cost with finance through our lending partners, Hometree and Phoenix. Finance is subject to status.

Businesses: pay upfront, use Smart Ease business finance, or have the system funded under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).

No pressure

A 14-day cooling-off period on home installations, and a price match promise (terms apply).

Questions we're often asked

Do you cover my area?

For homes, we cover Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and the West Midlands. For businesses, we work anywhere in the UK. If you're not sure whether we cover you, call 0800 111 4576 or start with our online solar designer and we'll confirm.

Are you MCS certified?

Yes. Mercia Electrical is MCS certified, NICEIC approved and TrustMark registered. MCS matters for solar because it's what lets you receive export payments under the Smart Export Guarantee. You'll get your MCS certificate and electrical certificates when we hand the system over.

Can I spread the cost?

For homes, finance is available through our lending partners, Hometree and Phoenix, subject to status. Businesses can pay upfront, use Smart Ease business finance, or have the system funded under a Power Purchase Agreement, where you pay for the power the system produces rather than for the system.

Do you work with businesses outside the Midlands?

Yes. We've completed 250+ commercial installations across 11 UK regions, from manufacturing sites and warehouses to schools and sports clubs. We plan each project around how the site runs, handle the grid application and hand over all the certificates.

What happens after installation?

We commission the system, deal with the grid (DNO) paperwork and send you your certificates. Home solar and battery systems come with an app, so you can see what you're generating and using, and we're here if you need help afterwards.
