Contact Solar

Contact Solar, national installer of solar panels and batteries in the United Kingdom

Contact Solar presents itself as a nationally operating installation company focused on photovoltaic systems and battery storage, for both domestic and commercial use. The company states it has over ten years of activity and places customer relations and technical advice among its priorities, with an in-house technical support team and a no-pressure sales approach.

Solar panels for homes and businesses

The activity is divided into two main lines. On the domestic side, the company installs photovoltaic systems for homes and offers various panel and power packages adaptable to each property. On the commercial side, it supports the client from the initial consultation and system design through to final installation, with the stated aim that the installation meets the requirements of each project.

Battery storage and electric vehicle charging

Alongside the panels, Contact Solar sells battery systems that allow the surplus energy generated during the day to be stored for use at night, which the company links to greater savings and a better return on investment. The service catalogue also includes electric vehicle charging points, as well as servicing and repair of installations.

Packages and system components

The website details several fixed packages with transparent pricing. These include a 4 kW system with a 5.32 kWh battery, a 5 kW system with a 5.32 kWh battery and a 4 kW system without a battery. The packages include an all-black fixing kit, an online monitoring portal, MCS documentation and full installation, with scaffolding included and warranties. The company states that these conditions are subject to location, survey and terms and conditions.

Regarding the components, the material explains that photovoltaic panels convert sunlight into electricity, which passes through an inverter to convert direct current into usable alternating current and is then distributed around the property. The company lists the main parts of the system as the panels, the inverter, the battery, the generation meter and the export limiter where applicable.
