Questions people ask.
Is it really free?
Yes. Checking a quote costs nothing and needs no account. Later we may offer an optional paid second quote from a vetted installer, clearly labelled and kept apart from the verdict.
How do you know what a fair price is?
We start from the government's solar PV cost data and the MCS data dashboard, which record what thousands of UK installations cost, and adjust for system size, battery and region. Extras such as scaffolding are judged against the ranges installers publish. Each range is cited on your verdict.
Can it read a photo of a paper quote?
Yes, if the figures are clear. A PDF is best. You'll see everything we read before any verdict, and you can correct it.
Will the installer find out?
No. We never contact installers about a quote and never pass on who uploaded it.
Is this financial advice?
No. It's an independent read of a quote against public cost data, to help you ask better questions. The decision is always yours.
