What Manchester Homeowners Say About Our Solar Installation Specialists
16 x 425W JinkoSolar panels installed on our Manchester east-west tile roof. Paired with a 7kWh GivEnergy battery. System size 51kWp. Total £9360 fitted. MCS-certified installer, RECC consumer-code member.
Three MCS-certified solar firms quoted via BestBuilders for our Manchester 1930s semi. Picked the mid-priced quote at £8600 - 12 panels and a 5kWh battery. DNO G99 paperwork done first - took 5 weeks but standard for our area. Generation already paying for itself - bill down 70%.
Two summers on, the EV charger paired with the panels is genuinely free fuel. Installer near Manchester recommended panel optimisers because of the gable shading - good call. Best decision we have made on this house.
