PROCEDURES & EXPERIENCE More about us

Britsolar is an MIS3002 standard solar system installer registered with NAPIT. We are inspected annually without fail to ensure that we conform to the highest standards. As such our installation teams are fully insured and certificated to carry out every aspect of your installation.

Because there is a significant probability that your installation will be subject to a rigorous independent quality check after it has been commissioned it is important that everything is done properly.

From time to time we publish leaflets and guidance notes which you can access by selecting the thumbnails below:
