About Solar Panels Explained

Our purpose

Solar Panels Explained is an independent UK information website. Its purpose is to help homeowners build a reliable understanding of how solar works, what changes a quote, and what to check before comparing installers — and, when ready, to record an enquiry so the website operator can match them with vetted, MCS-certified installers for comparison.

The website is not a solar installer, lender, broker or government service. It does not currently employ or represent an installation crew. No installer is automatically contacted when an enquiry is submitted.

How the referral model works

All the learning-route content and the "build your learning route" tool run entirely in your browser and are never submitted anywhere. If you separately choose to request quotes, that enquiry is added to the authenticated central MoreLeadz lead dashboard so the website operator can manage and follow it up. The submission itself is not an installation booking and does not guarantee that a provider covers your postcode.

Who writes the guides

Pages are prepared by the Solar Panels Explained editorial team using clearly identified sources — principally MCS, RECC, Ofgem and the Competition and Markets Authority. No named external solar-industry reviewer is currently attached to the site; each guide says so. We will add reviewer biographies only when real people have agreed to review the material.

What we will not publish

We do not create fake reviews, accreditations, local offices, response-time claims or savings guarantees. Calculators and worked examples are clearly labelled as indicative, not a quotation or a market price estimate.
