How do I find a reliable solar panel installer in the UK?
Start by searching the MCS or RECC databases for certified installers in your area. Additionally, reading customer reviews and asking for recommendations from friends or family who have had solar panels installed can also help ensure you choose a reliable installer.

Do I need a Gas Safety Certificate to sell my house?
