What is a solar panel company?

Solar panel companies, like Lanman Solar, are businesses specialising exclusively in solar energy solutions. Their services focus on photovoltaic panels designed to harness the energy of the sun, and can include anything from design and sales to installation, maintenance, servicing, and repair. Some companies provide additional services such as solar battery storage system installation, ensuring the efficiency of your existing panels.

These businesses play a critical role in helping both domestic and commercial clients make the switch to renewable energy, reducing their reliance on traditional energy sources, cutting down electricity costs, and lowering carbon footprints. 

How to choose a solar panel company?

Choosing the right solar panel company, whether for your installation or maintenance, is a hugely important decision – after all, their quality of work can have a direct influence over the performance and longevity of your system. Our experts recommend looking out for the five following key factors:

Experience and Reputation: Solar panel companies with a proven track record likely have the expertise needed to navigate any job, from the simple to the complex and everything in between. Look for customer reviews, ratings, and testimonials – they should tell you much of what you need to know. 

Credentials: Accreditation like MCS certification demonstrates strict adherence to industry standards. In most circumstances, if you wish to receive RHI payments or access the Smart Export Guarantee, your installer must hold these credentials.

Product Quality: High-performance, durable panels will serve you best in the long run. Ensure that your solar panel company is prepared to supply the best possible option for your property and needs. 

Service Offerings: Different solar panel companies offer different levels of support. Whilst some focus exclusively on installation, others, like Lanman Solar, provide end-to-end services, from initial consultation and installation to ongoing maintenance and support.

Warranty: Your solar panel company should be confident in the quality of their work and products. Look out for a clear and comprehensive warranty offering. 

Where can I buy solar panels from?

In the UK, you can purchase solar panels from several sources, including online and home improvement stores. However, most argue that contacting a specialist solar panel company is the best way to go. 

In purchasing your solar panels from a dedicated company, you’ll gain access to expert design advice, professional installation services, long term maintenance, and, in the case of Lanman Solar, lasting warranties.They’ll be able to set up your solar panels in the most optimal manner possible, accounting for both you and your property’s requirements.

Who regulates solar panel companies in the UK?

Solar panel companies in the UK are heavily regulated by a number of bodies including GEMA, MCS, MCS, NAPIT, NICEIC, REA, RECC, and Solar Energy UK (formally known as SEC). These organisations work collectively to ensure companies’ compliance with industry standards, resulting in the delivery of safe, high-quality products and services. 

The MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) is perhaps the most well-known of these bodies, acting as a nationally recognised quality assurance scheme certifying both products and installation companies. Lanman is proud to hold their certification, amongst many others. 

In addition to the above, solar panel companies must also comply with the requirements of Part P of the Building Regulations.

Do I get online monitoring with my solar panel package?

Yes, online monitoring comes with every one of our solar panel and battery packages. Online monitoring refers to real-time updates on solar electricity generation. Check out our product package guidelines to discover more built-in benefits that come with each one, including full installation, paperwork and documentation.
