MCS-certified rooftop install
Roof-mounted solar, wired in properly.
MCS-certified installation for Smart Export Guarantee income, 0% VAT (until 31 March 2027), battery backup and EV charger integration. From around £4,000 depending on roof size and battery inclusion. Conservation-area and DNO checks are part of the quote, not an afterthought.
MCS certification
Without it, no SEG export payments and no 0% VAT. We sign off every install to MIS 3002, the current Solar PV Installation Standard, and you get the certificate the day it's finished.
G99 DNO notification
Above 3.68kW per phase, UK Power Networks Southern has to approve the connection before anyone touches your roof, usually a 6 to 16 week wait. We submit it and chase it so you don't have to.
Conservation-area check
Deal and Walmer sit across seven conservation areas. Rear or side roof slopes not facing the highway are usually permitted development; front-facing, highway-visible slopes normally need planning permission. Listed properties need listed building consent regardless, though this isn't automatically refused for a non-visible slope.
The offer, honestly
What you get, and what you're responsible for
A typical £12,000 solar-and-battery system currently pays 0% VAT (equipment and labour, provided you buy and install through the same company), rising to 5% from 1 April 2027. SEG export rates currently range roughly 1p to 32p per kWh across around thirty live tariffs, so which supplier you export to matters as much as the install itself. We'll size the system to your roof and usage honestly rather than oversell capacity you won't use.
FAQs
How long does an MCS install take once DNO approval lands?
Physical installation is typically 1-2 days for a domestic roof. The variable is the G99 DNO approval wait beforehand, which we start as early as possible in the process.
What if my roof faces the street in a conservation area?
We check this before quoting. Options include a rear or side-slope-only install, an in-roof (integrated) system that some conservation officers view more favourably, or a formal planning application where the roof genuinely has no other viable slope.
Do you handle SEG tariff registration?
We provide the MCS certificate and installation documents you need to register; you choose your own SEG supplier since rates and terms change frequently and you're free to switch later without affecting the install.
