Citrus

Demand peaks April–August across the UK. Booking in autumn or winter often means shorter waits and sometimes pricing flexibility. Installation itself is a year-round activity in most UK weather — the constraint is scheduling, not the season.

At time of indexing, Citrus's public Google business listing showed 12 reviews averaging 3.9★. Numbers change daily — open the Google Maps listing for the live count. When reading reviews, sort by 'lowest rated' as well as 'most recent' — the negative reviews tell you more about how a Liverpool-area installer handles problems than the average score does.

Most reputable UK installers — including most Liverpool-area firms — offer a free desktop survey followed by a paid or no-cost roof inspection. Citrus's specific policy isn't published on EnergyRanked; ask when you make initial contact. A red flag would be any installer quoting without ever physically seeing the roof or property.

SEG registration is usually handled by your electricity supplier rather than your installer, but Citrus should provide the MCS certificate and inverter performance data your supplier will request. Ask Citrus whether they walk customers through the SEG paperwork as part of handover.

UK solar workmanship warranties commonly run 5–10 years; panel performance warranties 25 years; inverter warranties 5–12 years. Ask Citrus specifically what's covered, who underwrites it, and what happens if they go out of business (an MCS Insurance Backed Guarantee — IBG — covers this scenario).
