What homeowners compare in a solar quote
Most homeowners collect two or three solar quotes and lay them side by side. The quote that makes comparison easy tends to win: system size in kWp, battery capacity, inverter type and a clear scope. A single line reading "supply and install solar system" leaves the customer guessing and usually sends them to the next installer.
Structure the line items
- Hybrid inverter: state power rating and phase (three-phase here).
- Battery modules: quantity and total usable capacity (2 × 4.6 kWh).
- Power optimisers: one per panel, so the count matches the panels.
- Energy meter: needed for self-consumption and battery control.
- Panels and mounting: give the wattage class if the model is not fixed yet.
- Services: installation, AC/DC cabling, commissioning and DNO notification.
Survey first, then define the scope
Before sending the quote, record roof type (tiles, slate, flat), orientation, shading and the condition of the consumer unit. If a consumer unit upgrade, scaffolding or making good is not included, say so. State who handles the grid notification and the certification paperwork, because customers ask about this step more than any other.
VAT and validity
In the UK the installation of solar panels and batteries in homes currently qualifies for 0% VAT under the energy-saving materials relief; other work is charged at the standard 20%. Put the VAT treatment on the quote, give a validity period and set out a payment schedule such as deposit, delivery and completion.
Common mistakes and what to do after sending
- Optimiser count that does not match the panel count, so the quote looks incomplete.
- Battery listed by model name only, without the total kWh.
- Installation, cabling and commissioning squeezed into one vague labour line.
- No exclusions, so a later scaffolding or consumer unit cost feels like a surprise.
Call the customer within a few days of sending and ask what is still unclear. Homeowners often want to change battery size, add a few panels or include an EV charger. Send each change as a new revision number so everyone knows which version is current.

FAQ
What should a solar panel quote include?
System size, panel class and count, inverter, battery capacity, mounting, installation scope, VAT treatment, validity and payment terms. Anything excluded should be written down too.
Is there VAT on solar panels and batteries in the UK?
Installation of solar panels and batteries in residential homes currently qualifies for 0% VAT under the energy-saving materials relief. Check the conditions for each job and state the rate on the quote.
How do I show battery capacity on a quote?
Give module count and the total, for example 2 × 4.6 kWh = 9.2 kWh. Customers compare quotes on the total figure.
Why does the optimiser count match the panel count?
In this example each panel gets its own optimiser. Matching numbers also show the customer that nothing is missing.
