Two of them visited initially. One explained the feed-in tariff in detail, with reference to our electricity bills, and made an initial estimate of the finances. He also explained how the deposit insurance. The other made a very detailed survey, with measurements of roof dimensions, angle and aspect. My main concerns had been about the position of the inverter and how the cables would run to the meter cupboard, and he discussed a couple of options. A detail that surprised me was that he recommended shortening our soil pipe slightly to stop it casting a shadow on the panels. He explained that if one panel is shaded all the others reduce their output in sympathy. They sent a very detailed quotation for a 10 panel 2.4 kWp system, with financial and output estimates based on both the official national (Sheffield based) estimate and one for our locality. Their first visit was on 26th August, detailed quote 14th September, installation within a day on 28th September. They helped me fill in the FIT application form and supplied the necessary MCS Installer Certificate. We were blessed with an unusual heatwave so immediately started generating. Altogether, we are well satisfied. Photos see www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/5763 .

Treadlighter installed a 1.71 kWp grid connected photovolatic (PV) system, comprising of 9 solar modules. Their approach from the initial survey to the final installation and commissioning was very professional. They provided detailed quotations of alternative schemes following a thorough survey of our property. The staff were very friendly and polite, they arrived on the promised day, completed the installation and commissioned the installation on the same day. The system has already exceeded both the design output and our expectations! We have no hesitation in recommending this company.

The company erected solar panels on our flat roof. They co-ordinated the replacement of the roof at the same time. All the work was done on time and excellently co-ordinated. The contractors were extremely helpful and informative throughout the process.
