Orbit Solar’s credentials should be cross-checked on three registers before you sign: MCS Certified for installer accreditation, RECC or HIES for the consumer code, and Companies House for company status. EnergyRanked surfaces what we can see — we don’t independently verify.

Frequently asked questions
What UK grants or schemes apply to a solar install with Orbit Solar?
Current UK support includes 0% VAT on residential solar PV and battery installs (HMRC zero-rating until at least 2027), the Smart Export Guarantee paying for exported electricity, and — for heat pumps — the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (England/Wales) or Home Energy Scotland Grant + Loan (Scotland). Eligibility depends on the property and the install. Confirm with Orbit Solar which apply before signing.
Should I get multiple quotes alongside Orbit Solar?
Yes — three quotes is the UK standard for solar PV. Use Orbit Solar's quote as one of those three. Compare not just price but warranty terms, MCS certification, and panel/inverter brands. Specs vary widely between installers.
Is Orbit Solar registered with RECC or HIES?
RECC (Renewable Energy Consumer Code) and HIES (Home Insulation & Energy Systems) are the two main consumer protection codes for UK renewables installers. Check the RECC register at recc.org.uk or HIES register at hies.co.uk by company name. Membership of either gives you escalation routes and deposit protection.
Does Orbit Solar offer Insurance Backed Guarantees (IBG)?
An IBG is essential — it covers the workmanship warranty if the installer ceases trading. MCS-certified installers usually offer IBG via the MCS scheme. Confirm Orbit Solar provides an IBG certificate at handover; don't accept a workmanship guarantee that's only as good as the installer's continued existence.
How do I contact Orbit Solar?
Use the phone number and email on the listing page above, or visit their website (orbitsolar.co.uk). For initial enquiries, email tends to give you a written paper trail; for an urgent quote, phoning often gets a faster site survey booking.
