How it works

How it works: from your enquiry to a fixed quote

Three steps, one point of contact. Solar Stash takes the enquiry and books the survey; a local MCS-certified installer surveys, quotes and installs. Free, and no obligation at any point.

Three steps

What happens after you press send

  1. Step 1: You fill in the form or call

    Five quick questions: home or business, property type, what you are after, postcode, how to reach you. Or ring 07442 511817. Either way the next step is a human calling you back, not a sales appointment.

  2. Step 2: We call back and book your free survey

    We call back within one working day, usually the same working day. We ask about your roof, your bills and who is home in the day, say honestly whether solar suits the house, and book a survey with a local MCS-certified installer at a time that suits you.

  3. Step 3: The installer surveys and gives a fixed quote

    Half an hour to an hour at your home: the roof, the loft, the consumer unit, where a battery would go. A written quote follows, fixed and itemised, with the installer named and its MCS number on it. No obligation.

After you say yes

Installation, handover and who to call

The part most quotes skip. Here is what the weeks after a yes look like, and who does what.

Timing matters more than usual this year: 0% VAT ends on 31 March 2027 and the rate follows the invoice date.

Installation
Usually one day, two with a battery and a new consumer unit. Scaffolding goes up a day or two before and comes down a few days after. The installer who surveyed is the installer who fits.
Commissioning and the MCS certificate
The system is tested, registered and the MCS certificate issued by the installer. That certificate is what your export tariff and home insurer ask for.
Handover
The monitoring app on your phone, how the battery is set up, and the warranties registered in your name. The export tariff application is explained so you can claim what you are owed.
Afterwards
One number: 07442 511817. For a warranty question, a tariff question or a fault, we chase the installer so you do not have to.
Have ready

What helps on the first call

  • A recent electricity bill, or your annual usage in kWh from your supplier app
  • Who is home in the day and when the big loads run (washing, cooking, car charging)
  • Whether you already have solar panels, and if so roughly when they were fitted
  • Anything you know about the roof: age, material, any shading from trees or chimneys
  • Where a battery could go: garage, utility room, an outside wall

None of it is essential. The survey covers all of it in person. See what we fit: solar panels and a battery or a battery for existing solar.

Straight answers

The process, answered

Not here? The number at the top reaches a person who can answer it.

Is the survey really free, and is there any obligation?
Yes and no. The survey is free and the quote that follows is fixed and in writing. You can take it, sit on it or bin it. Nobody rings you to chase a decision, and if solar does not stack up for your house we say so at the survey rather than quote anyway.
Who comes to the survey?
A local MCS-certified installer we work with in West Yorkshire, the same company that fits the system. Your quote names the company and its MCS number. Solar Stash books the appointment, confirms it the day before and stays your point of contact throughout.
How long does it all take?
We call back within one working day. The survey is usually booked within a week or two and takes half an hour to an hour. The fixed quote follows within a few days. Installation is typically a few weeks after you accept, longer in the busy months before the VAT deadline, and the fitting itself is usually one day.
What should I have ready for the call?
A recent electricity bill or your annual usage in kWh, a rough idea of who is home in the day, and whether you already have solar panels. Photos of the roof and the fuse board help but are not essential; the survey covers them.
What happens if something goes wrong after installation?
Ring Solar Stash on 07442 511817. The installer carries the workmanship warranty and the manufacturers carry the equipment warranties, both registered in your name at handover. We chase the installer for you so you are not left ringing around.
