Frequently asked questions
Does The Solar Hut 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 The Solar Hut provides an IBG certificate at handover; don't accept a workmanship guarantee that's only as good as the installer's continued existence.
What questions should I ask The Solar Hut before booking a survey?
Key questions: panel and inverter brands (and warranties for each); installer MCS number; expected install lead-time; deposit terms and refund policy if cancelled before survey; who handles the DNO application; and roof/structural inspection responsibility. The Solar Hut should answer all of these without hesitation.
Is solar still worth it in Southampton given the climate?
Southampton 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 The Solar Hut for site-specific yield modelling based on your roof orientation, pitch and shading.
Is The Solar Hut 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.
What UK grants or schemes apply to a solar install with The Solar Hut?
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 The Solar Hut which apply before signing.
