Why do you need a copy of my electricity bill and a screenshot of my property?

It might feel like we’re being a bit nosey, but we promise there’s a very good method to our madness! 🕵️‍♂️ When we ask for a recent electricity bill, it’s not because we’re interested in your spending habits—it’s actually the "secret sauce" for designing a system that actually saves you money. Think of it like a tailor measuring you for a bespoke suit; we need to know exactly how much energy your home "wears" throughout the year. By looking at your annual kilowatt-hour (kWh) usage, we can calculate the perfect number of solar panels and the right size of battery storage to ensure you aren't overspending on kit you don't need, or worse, running out of stored sunshine by 7:00 PM! ⚡🌙

As for the screenshot or photo of your property, this helps our design team perform a "virtual site survey." We use high-tech software to look at your roof’s orientation (north, south, east, or west), the pitch of the tiles, and any potential "sun-blockers" like nearby oak trees or your neighbour’s chimney stack. 🏡☀️ Seeing your property allows us to spot any technical hurdles—like the location of your consumer unit (fuse board) or where the mains electricity enters the building—long before we arrive with our ladders.

For our local customers in Derby and across the East Midlands (we cover a 40-mile radius!), providing this info upfront means we can give you a lightning-fast, accurate quote without you having to wait for a physical visit. Plus, because we offer a 10-year workmanship guarantee on all solar installations, we want to make sure the design is 100% "spot on" from day one. It’s all about making your transition to renewables as smooth and "shock-free" as possible!
