Your questions answered
Common questions
What qualifications do your engineers have?
All our electricians are highly qualified, meeting the following standards at a minimum:
- NVQ Level 3 in Installing Electrotechnical Systems & Equipment
- C&G 2919-01 Certification
- BS7671:2018 Wiring Regulations (18th Edition, Amendment 2)
Additionally, all work is tested and certified by an engineer with a 2391-52 Inspecting & Testing qualification.
What areas do you cover?
We proudly serve the entire Bristol area, as well as South Gloucester, South Wales, Bath, and Gloucester. Our typical service area extends within a 30-mile radius from our office (BS32), ensuring prompt and efficient service for all local clients.
For larger commercial projects, we are more than willing to travel beyond this distance to accommodate your needs and deliver our top-notch solar solutions wherever they are required.
Do you charge for quotations?
No, we do not charge for quotations. At Sunify, we believe in providing transparent and accessible pricing information to our customers. Our quotations are offered free of charge, allowing you to explore your solar energy options without any financial commitment. We are committed to ensuring that our clients have all the information they need to make informed decisions about their solar projects.
How long do you take to install?
We typically estimate around 4 weeks from the initial enquiry to installation. This timeframe accounts for the necessary paperwork for G98 and G99 compliance, as well as the setup of scaffolding if required
Is the cost of scaffolding included?
Yes, scaffolding costs are included in our service. We believe in providing transparent pricing and ensuring that our customers understand the full scope of our services. By including scaffolding costs upfront, we aim to simplify the process for our customers and eliminate any unexpected expenses.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, we offer a comprehensive warranty package to ensure peace of mind for our customers. All our installations come with a 2-year insurance-backed warranty provided by HIES (Home Insulation & Energy Systems). This warranty not only covers the workmanship but also protects your deposit, providing added security throughout the installation process.
In addition to the HIES warranty, all products installed by us are backed by independent manufacturers’ warranties. These warranties vary depending on the specific products used but typically cover materials and performance over extended periods. We are committed to using high-quality components from trusted manufacturers, ensuring that your solar system operates reliably for years to come.
Our goal is to provide you with a worry-free experience and reliable support, backed by industry-leading warranties that uphold our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.”
Who will fit the system?
We take pride in delivering quality and consistency by utilizing our dedicated in-house teams. We do not use subcontractors for our installations. Instead, we have four on-site teams that handle every aspect of the installation process. From initial setup to final testing, our skilled technicians ensure that your solar system is installed with precision and care.
The only exception is scaffolding, which is provided by our trusted scaffolders. This approach allows us to maintain control over the entire installation process, ensuring high standards of workmanship and customer satisfaction. Rest assured, your solar system will be fitted by our experienced teams who are committed to delivering reliable and efficient installations.”
What is FIT (Feed-in Tariff)?
FIT, or Feed-in Tariff, was a government scheme designed to promote renewable energy generation. Under FIT, homeowners and businesses were paid for the electricity they generated from renewable sources such as solar panels and fed back into the grid. The scheme provided a financial incentive to invest in renewable energy technologies, helping to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainability.
The FIT scheme in the UK closed to new applicants on March 31, 2019. Existing participants continue to receive payments according to their agreement terms. Since the closure of FIT, homeowners and businesses now typically benefit from savings on their electricity bills through self-consumption of solar-generated power rather than exporting excess electricity to the grid for a payment.
In place of FIT, there is now the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). This scheme requires large energy suppliers to offer payments to small-scale low-carbon generators for the electricity they export to the grid. The payments are based on the amount of electricity exported and the rates set by the suppliers. The SEG aims to encourage the uptake of renewable energy generation and support the transition to a more sustainable energy system.
