Pier Solar covers the whole life of a solar system. We design it, specify it and arrange the install through vetted partners. Then we help you keep it working. Each service stands alone, but they work best together. Below, you can see how they fit and where to start.
You can begin with design and add the rest as needed. That order keeps costs clear, because each step builds on the one before it. You can also add a service later to a system you already own, for example a battery or a health check.
Design and installation
Every project starts with design. Our bespoke solar system design service models your roof, shading and energy use. The result is a specification that an installer can price and build. Because the design comes first, quotes are easier to compare.
Next comes the build, and here quality shows. Our premium panel and inverter installation service covers choosing quality components and fitting them well. Our MCS-certified installations are carried out by certified partners. MCS is the UK quality mark for small-scale renewable installations such as solar panels. You normally need an MCS certificate to be paid under the Smart Export Guarantee.
Storage and charging
A battery stores surplus power for the evening. For example, you can charge it at midday and use it after dark. Our battery storage systems service sizes a battery to match your use. A home battery typically costs from about £2,500 up to £10,000, depending on size, according to the Energy Saving Trust and Which?.
If you drive an electric car, solar can help to fuel it. Our EV charger installation service adds a smart home charger to the design. Home chargers sold in Great Britain must be smart-capable under the 2021 regulations.
Protection and aftercare
A good system should last 25 years or more, so aftercare matters. Our extended workmanship warranties sit on top of manufacturer product warranties. Pier Solar arranges the workmanship cover.
Afterwards, smart energy monitoring shows what the system makes and uses. As a result, a fault shows up early. Our system health checks then confirm that the system still performs as designed. Panels slowly lose output over time, typically around half a percent a year, so a regular check helps you spot anything unusual.
How to choose
Start with your goal. If you want lower bills, design and installation matter most. If you want independence from the grid, add a battery. If you are buying an electric car, plan the charger now, since it is cheaper to wire it in once.
Our solar guides library can help you decide. For example, read how much solar panels cost in the UK before you ask for quotes. When you are ready, send an online solar enquiry. Our UK solar coverage page shows where our partners work.
