Enquiry process

The process for requesting a solar PV installation is structured in several stages. It begins with an initial contact to learn about the project and continues with a bespoke proposal that includes a rough estimate of costs. If the client accepts, the order is formalised and a site survey is carried out to finalise the details. The company also offers an online form with simple questions that allows you to check prices for PV and storage systems, choose from the recommended systems and request a free survey, after which it sends a full design quotation by email.

Warranties and maintenance

Cambridge Solar states that its warranties go beyond those offered by most of its competitors and cover not only the main equipment, such as panels and inverters, but also components such as generation meters, isolators and cables. The company describes the systems it installs as 'fit-and-forget', with no moving parts and very low maintenance requirements.

Environmental commitment

The company notes that its commitment to a low-carbon economy is part of its business vision. As an example, it states that the roof of its own office has a 7 kW solar PV system that generates more electricity than it consumes over the year.
