LITLEC

Per the public business listing, LITLEC list themselves under: Solar PV Installation, Electrical Services. Confirm whether they handle other renewable categories before scheduling a survey. Some Manchester-area installers sub-contract specialist work (e.g. roof structural checks, DNO applications), so ask what's done in-house.

UK solar workmanship warranties commonly run 5–10 years; panel performance warranties 25 years; inverter warranties 5–12 years. Ask LITLEC 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).

Lead times for Greater Manchester renewables installers swing seasonally — late spring and early summer are peak demand. Ask LITLEC directly for current scheduling once you've got a written quote. Plan for 4–12 weeks from deposit to install on a typical residential project; complex roofs or DNO upgrades can extend that.

Most reputable UK installers — including most Manchester-area firms — offer a free desktop survey followed by a paid or no-cost roof inspection. LITLEC's specific policy isn't published on EnergyRanked; ask when you make initial contact (their website litlec.co.uk is a useful starting point). A red flag would be any installer quoting without ever physically seeing the roof or property.

Manchester gets enough annual sunlight for a typical 4 kW domestic system to produce roughly 3,200–3,800 kWh/year. Payback periods are typically 8–11 years at current electricity prices. Ask LITLEC for site-specific yield modelling based on your roof orientation, pitch and shading.
