Before you invite any solar installer into your home, it’s worth knowing the right questions to ask. ☀️

The solar industry has grown quickly and while there are plenty of excellent installers out there, not all of them offer the same level of quality, transparency, or aftercare.

Here are the 7 questions we’d encourage every homeowner to ask:
1️⃣ Are they MCS accredited? The national quality standard, if the answer is no, that’s a red flag.
2️⃣ Will they survey your property first? No visit means no proper assessment. Firm prices without a survey aren’t reliable.
3️⃣ Is the system designed around your home? Bespoke vs standard packages, the difference matters for long-term performance.
4️⃣ What brands and products do they use? Ask about efficiency ratings and warranty terms before you commit.
5️⃣ What warranties and aftercare do they offer? Know what’s covered, for how long, and what happens if something goes wrong.
6️⃣ Are they a local company? Local means accountable, reachable, and knowledgeable about your area.
7️⃣ Is the quote transparent and itemised? A vague or unusually low quote is always worth questioning.

We’ve written a full guide covering all of these in detail - link in bio if you’d like to read it.
And if you’d like to put us to the test, we’re always happy to answer every single one.

If you had solar panels installed this spring - welcome to your first summer. ☀️

This is when it all starts to make sense.

Longer days mean more daylight hours, which means your system will be generating more than at any other time of year.

If you have battery storage, it’ll be working hard too - charging up during the day so you have energy stored and ready to use in the evenings.

A few things worth knowing as you head into the summer months:

☀️ All systems come with monitoring as standard, we can also keep an eye on performance on your behalf if you’d like.

🔋 Battery storage means less drawing from the grid, make the most of those long sunny days.

🧹 Keep your panels clean - regular cleaning with water only will help maintain performance year round.

🌿 The more energy you use directly from your system, the less you’re relying on the grid.

And if you’re still thinking about going solar, there’s still plenty of summer left to make the most of.

Book a free, no-obligation survey and we’ll tell you honestly what solar could do for your home.

If you drive an electric vehicle, you’ll know the frustration of relying on public chargers. ⚡

Hunting for an available charger, waiting in a queue, paying over the odds, it adds up in both time and money.

A home EV charger changes all of that.

🔌 Public charging: More expensive, inconvenient, not always available when you need it and no benefit to your home.
🏠 Home charging: Far cheaper, your car is fully charged every morning, no queuing, and it adds value to your property.

And if you have solar panels or you’re thinking about getting them, you can go one step further and charge your car using energy generated from your own roof.

At Suffolk Solar & Electrical we install home EV chargers across Suffolk, with a tailored solution designed around your vehicle, your property, and your energy setup. Free consultation, no pushy sales.

Solar isn’t just for houses and in Suffolk, more and more farms and businesses are making the switch. ☀️

It’s easy to think of solar as something for homeowners, but commercial properties and agricultural land are often even better suited to it.

Here’s why:
🏗️ Larger roofs and open land mean more panels and stronger generation.
⚡ High daytime energy use aligns perfectly with when solar produces the most power.
💰 Reduced energy overheads make a real difference to the bottom line.
🔋 Add battery storage and you can use that energy outside daylight hours too.

Every system we install is bespoke - designed around your specific site, energy use, and goals. Whether you’re running a farm, a business premises, or looking at a mix of both, we’ll design a system that works for your property.

We install across homes, farms and businesses throughout Suffolk.

Did you know that not all solar installations are equal, even if the panels look the same? ☀️

The difference often comes down to who installs them and whether they’re properly certified.

MCS certification is the UK’s quality mark for solar and without it, you could miss out on being paid for the energy you generate, lose your warranty protection, and have very little comeback if something goes wrong.

It’s one of the most important questions to ask before you commit to any installer.

Swipe through to see exactly what MCS certification means for you and what accreditations to look for.

If you’d like honest, straightforward advice from a fully certified local team, we’re always happy to help.

Here’s something a lot of people don’t realise about solar 👇

If the power goes out… will your solar panels still work?

The honest answer: it depends on your setup.

Most standard solar systems will automatically shut down during a power cut. This is a safety feature designed to protect engineers working on the grid.

But with the right battery setup (EPS), your system can switch to stored energy, helping keep essential appliances running.

It’s one of those things that’s worth understanding before you install, and one of the reasons battery storage is becoming increasingly popular.

If you’re thinking about solar or already have panels and want to explore your options, we’re always happy to help.

No pushy sales. Just straightforward advice from a local, family-run team.

Another installation completed in Suffolk ☀️

For us, it’s never just about fitting the panels and moving on.

Every job gets the time and care it deserves, from the initial survey right through to aftercare once your system is up and running.

That means helping you understand your system, find the right export tariff, and set up charge times to suit your energy use. We’re here to guide you through the whole process, not just the installation day.

Here’s what our customer thought:
“So pleased with the installation from start to finish. I wasn’t bombarded with sales speak or complicated technical info - and it’s always great when the guys who run the company actually do the work too. All the great customer service you’d hope to find in a local company. I have no hesitation in recommending.”

Because it’s not just about installing solar. It’s about making sure it works for you long after we’ve left.

If you’re thinking about solar, we’re always happy to talk it through.

Is solar still worth it in the UK in 2026? It’s a question we get asked a lot, and the answer is yes. ☀️

Energy bills aren’t getting cheaper. Solar lets you generate your own electricity from your roof, reducing how much you rely on the grid and that’s a form of stability no energy tariff can offer.

Here’s what makes solar a strong investment in 2026:

☁️ Modern panels work on daylight, not heat - so they generate electricity year-round, even on cloudy Suffolk days.

🔋 Battery storage means you keep more of what you generate, using it in the evenings rather than sending it back to the grid.

💰 The Smart Export Guarantee pays you for any surplus you do export.

🏡 A well-installed system adds value to your home and improves your EPC rating.

The key is getting the right system for your property. Roof orientation, shading, energy use, and future plans like an EV charger all affect what will work best for you.

We’ve written a full blog post on this, link in bio if you want the detail.
