Terms of Service

2. Nature of the Service & Independent Directory Status

Verified Solar UK is an independent informational directory and publisher. We provide searchable public directory listings, regional solar irradiance data, and educational content on microgeneration, government grants (such as ECO4), and the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).

3. Contractor Listings, Ratings & Consumer Due Diligence

We curate directory listings from publicly accessible registries, trade organisations (MCS, RECC, HIES, TrustMark), and verified Google Places profiles. While we take meticulous care to ensure phone numbers, business names, and addresses are correct:

• We strongly advise consumers to independently verify that any chosen contractor holds active, valid Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) accreditation for both solar PV and battery storage prior to signing contracts or transferring funds.
• Consumers must ensure that the installer provides an insurance-backed guarantee (such as HIES or RECC) and completes mandatory Distribution Network Operator (DNO) notifications (G98 or G99 grid approval).
• We make no warranties, representations, or endorsements regarding the punctuality, workmanship, or financial solvency of listed third-party businesses.

4. Solar Savings Calculator & Energy Estimates Disclaimer

Our interactive UK Solar Savings Calculator and regional generation figures provide illustrative estimates only:

• Calculations are modelled using official UK meteorological radiation averages (PVGIS / Met Office data), standard domestic electricity unit rates (Ofgem price cap benchmarks), typical 35° roof pitch angles, unshaded south-facing azimuths, and the UK 0% VAT relief policy.
• Real-world generation and financial return will vary based on your exact roof pitch, orientation, scaffolding complexity, local shading from trees or chimneys, seasonal weather patterns, household self-consumption habits, and your specific electricity supply tariff (e.g., Octopus Flux or Intelligent Outgoing).
• Estimations should not be treated as formal financial or structural advice. Homeowners must obtain a bespoke site survey from a certified professional.

5. Intellectual Property Rights

All content, database structures, visual designs, CSS frameworks, brand logos, and original editorial guides published on VerifiedSolar.uk are the intellectual property of Verified Solar UK and are protected by United Kingdom and international copyright, database rights, and trademark laws.

6. Third-Party Links & Advertising

We do not control or endorse the content or practices of these external sites and accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from your interaction with them.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted under applicable UK law, Verified Solar UK and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from your use of, or inability to use, this directory, or for any disputes, defective installations, or claims between consumers and listed contractors.
