Question 1

How do you compare installer partners?

Accepted Answer

We compare partner installers across 8 objective criteria: panel brands offered, inverter brands, battery options, workmanship warranty length, product warranty, Google/Trustpilot rating, response time to enquiries, postcode coverage, and accreditations held (MCS, RECC, TrustMark, NICEIC, Octopus Trusted). Our comparison matrix is updated regularly. Call 0141 230 0198 for a personalised comparison.

Question 2

What criteria matter most when comparing solar installers in Scotland?

Accepted Answer

The most important criteria when comparing Scottish solar installers are: MCS certification (mandatory for grants and export tariffs), workmanship warranty length (longer is better), Google/Trustpilot rating from verified reviews, response time, postcode coverage for your area, and panel brand quality. RECC membership provides additional consumer protection. Call 0141 230 0198.

Question 3

Are all comparisons unbiased?

Accepted Answer

Scotland Solar Installer Compare is a directory and comparison service, not an installer. We present specifications as provided by partner installers and do not favour any single partner. Our comparison matrix uses the same 8 criteria for all partners. Partner profiles are updated regularly. Call 0141 230 0198 for a live comparison.

Question 4

Can I see partner Trustpilot or Google ratings?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our comparison matrix includes each partner's current Google or Trustpilot rating and review count. Ratings are sourced directly from public review platforms and updated regularly. Our top-rated partner currently holds 4.9 stars from 47+ verified Google reviews. Call 0141 230 0198 to discuss partner ratings.

Question 5

How fast do partner installers respond to enquiries?

Accepted Answer

Response times vary by partner. Our fastest-responding partner replies within 24 hours. Partner B typically responds within 48 hours. Response times are part of our comparison criteria because timely communication reflects the quality of customer service throughout the installation process. Call 0141 230 0198 for immediate response.

Question 6

Which partner offers the best warranty?

Accepted Answer

All our partner installers offer 25-year product warranties on solar panels (industry standard). Where they differ is workmanship warranty: our top partner offers 10 years, Partner B offers 5 years, and Partner C offers 2 years. A longer workmanship warranty reflects greater confidence in installation quality. Call 0141 230 0198.

Question 7

Which partner offers the most variety of panel brands?

Accepted Answer

All three partner profiles offer multiple panel brands. Panel brands offered include JA Solar, Jinko, LONGi, REC, SunPower, and GoodWe. The variety offered depends on the partner's supplier relationships and stock levels. More choice can mean a better match for your roof type and budget. Call 0141 230 0198 to discuss panel options.

Question 8

Do all partners offer all panel brands?

Accepted Answer

No, panel brand availability varies by partner. Partner A offers JA Solar, Jinko, and LONGi. Partner B offers JA Solar, REC, and SunPower. Partner C offers Jinko, LONGi, and GoodWe. If you have a preference for a specific panel brand, contact 0141 230 0198 to identify which partner can supply it.

Question 9

How does pricing transparency vary across partners?

Accepted Answer

Pricing transparency is a key comparison criterion. Partner A offers full pricing transparency with detailed quotes. Partner B provides partial transparency with price ranges. Partner C requires a site survey before providing any pricing. We recommend requesting quotes from at least 2 partners for comparison. Call 0141 230 0198.

Question 10

Is Scotland Solar Installer Compare an installer?

Accepted Answer

No. Scotland Solar Installer Compare (solarinstallersscotland.com) is a comparison and directory service — not a solar installer. We connect Scottish homeowners and businesses with our pre-vetted network of MCS-certified partner installers. We do not carry out installations ourselves. Call 0141 230 0198 to connect with a verified partner installer.
