Sustain deliver a comprehensive service process for the installation of solar PV panels and this includes consistent attention to detail. From the initial communications with Sustain to the after sales support, you will find a comprehensive service system. We will provide an honest appraisal of your situation and deliver on your requirements. Our service process is very similar for both domestic and large-scale commercial solar PV installations; however, there are some additions to the process for commercial operations.
We may need to assist clients with planning regulations as well as any local requirements to ensure the service process runs smoothly. Sustain recognise the commitment involved with large-scale solar PV installations and work with clients closely to ensure everything is dealt with effectively. All our clients will have a specific contact that will be available to answer any questions throughout the process.
1. Discussing The System
Contact us and a solar PV expert will visit your home or commercial premises to answer all your questions on solar energy. We will discuss your requirements & provide a no obligation quote.
2. Assess Property Suitability
Your solar PV expert will do some preliminary checks of your property to understand whether it is suitable for solar energy. The roof angle and orientation of the property will be checked.
3. Property Survey
Your solar pv expert will now complete a detailed survey of the property. They will measure the roof, assess the loft, electricity meter and check to see if any shading effects the property.

As part of the survey we will make a visual assessment of the current electrical installation to check it is up to standard. We will look at your fuseboard, wiring & whether you have a loft light.
