If you want accurate solar panel quotes, a technical solar survey, and a smooth installation process, this is the exact step-by-step journey Spirit Energy takes UK homeowners through. Use our solar calculator to get instant estimates, then follow the seven steps below to understand precisely what happens next.
Your solar journey begins when you contact us through our website, phone, or by using our Solar Calculator.
We collect a few key details about your home, such as roof type, electricity usage and whether you're considering battery storage.
This allows us to give you an early indication of expected generation, savings, and the typical solar panel installation cost UK homeowners can expect for a system of your size.
Next, our technical sales complete a detailed desktop assessment using aerial imagery, shading tools and 3D roof models.
We check:
We then produce a bespoke system design, generation forecast and outline cost. This stage helps confirm that the system is technically appropriate before any on-site visit.
Once you're happy with the initial design, we prepare a fixed proposal.
It includes:
DNO permission is needed for grid connection. We handle the entire process for you.
A qualified member of our install team visits your home for a full technical survey. This ensures your property is safe and suitable before any installation work begins.
We check:
If you have a flat roof, we confirm which mounting structure is appropriate and how ballast or fixings will be applied.
This survey allows us to sign off the final technical design.

Installing the inverter and battery (if included)
Electrical wiring and safety testing
Commissioning the system
Submitting MCS certification and DNO notification
Most residential installations in the UK take a few days, depending on system size.
