British Solar is the UK's largest direct-to-consumer MCS installer. We replaced the sales pitch with a fixed online price — and we've installed in 45,000+ homes since 2014.
British Solar started in a Sheffield workshop in 2014. Two electricians, one ageing van, and a frustration with the door-to-door sales model that dominated UK solar at the time.
Twelve years later we're part of the ClickQuotes network, installing in every postcode in Great Britain through an employed team of 180 MCS-accredited engineers. Our partnership with ZOA Energy lets us bundle SEG export tariffs straight into your quote — so you see your real, lifetime savings before you decide.
We've stayed obsessed with one thing: making solar feel like buying any other product online. Pick it, pay a refundable deposit, get it installed. No phone calls, no haggling, no surprises.
If we can't quote it online, we won't sell it. No 90-minute kitchen-table pitch.
Every installer is PAYE. That's why our workmanship warranty is 10 years, not 12 months.
Designed, installed and signed off in-house — never handed to a third party.
HIES-protected warranty stays valid even if British Solar ceased trading. £10m public liability cover on every job.
