Complaints Procedure

If something hasn't gone to plan, we want to know. Here's exactly how we'll handle it — and how to escalate if you're still not satisfied.

Last updated: 24 May 2026

Step 1 — Tell us

Get in touch using whichever is easiest:

  • Email: complaints@britishsolar.co.uk
  • Phone: 0800 000 0000 (Mon–Fri, 8am–6pm)
  • Post: Complaints Team, British Solar Ltd, 1 Solar Court, Sheffield S1 2AB

Please include your order reference, the names of any engineers involved, and a clear description of the issue.

Step 2 — Acknowledgement

We'll acknowledge your complaint in writing within 3 working days and tell you who is investigating.

Step 3 — Investigation and response

We aim to give a full written response within 10 working days. If we need longer (for example, we need to revisit the site), we'll keep you updated every 10 working days.

Step 4 — Final response

If you're satisfied with our resolution, we'll close the complaint. If not, we'll issue a "final response" letter setting out our position and your right to escalate.

Step 5 — Independent escalation

If you're still unhappy 8 weeks after first raising the complaint, you can refer it free of charge to:

HIES Alternative Dispute Resolution
Suite 11, Manor Park, Sheffield S2 5XS
hiesscheme.org.uk

HIES are an independent ombudsman whose decision is binding on us but not on you — you can still pursue other legal remedies if you prefer.

For complaints about credit or finance, you can also contact the Financial Ombudsman Service.
