About Solar Panels Explained

What we're trying to do

Understanding solar shouldn't require an engineering degree. Solar Panels Explained walks homeowners through how solar actually works, what changes the price of a quote, and what to check before comparing installers — and once you feel ready, you can record an enquiry so the website operator can match you with vetted, MCS-certified installers for comparison.

Boundaries of the service

We are not an installer, lender, broker or government service. We do not employ or represent an installation crew, and submitting an enquiry never triggers automatic contact from an installer.

Learning tools versus the enquiry form

Every piece of learning-route content and the "build your learning route" tool runs entirely inside your browser and is never submitted to us or anyone else. Only a separate request for quotes reaches us, and that goes into the authenticated central MoreLeadz lead dashboard for the operator to manage and follow up — it is not an installation booking, and it does not guarantee that a provider covers your postcode.

Editorial standards

The Solar Panels Explained editorial team writes to clearly identified sources — principally MCS, RECC, Ofgem and the Competition and Markets Authority — and currently has no named external solar-industry reviewer attached; every guide discloses that, and we will add reviewer biographies only once real people have agreed to review the material.

We do not fabricate reviews, accreditations, local offices, response-time claims or savings guarantees, and every calculator or worked example is clearly labelled as indicative — never a quotation or a market price estimate.
