Investing in solar panel installation is one of the smartest steps UK homeowners can take—but only when it’s done right, by the right people.
At Wright Renewables in Worksop, we frequently meet customers frustrated by previous poor experiences. From South Yorkshire to Lincolnshire, the same story repeats: systems sold to hit a budget, not to last. This is where using trusted local solar panel installers makes all the difference.
Let’s look at why some installations fall short—and how you can make sure yours is future-ready.
One of the biggest issues? Installers chasing the lowest quote.
Many solar companies, especially those not rooted locally, win business by slashing costs. But this can be a false economy. Corners get cut. Components get downgraded. Performance and safety suffer.
“Solar is all about the long run,” says Lee Rolfe, Managing Director at Wright Renewables.
“You need a system that’s designed to work for you over decades. Beware the cheapest quote—installers may be cutting corners you’re not even aware of.”
Choosing experienced local solar installers means getting honest guidance, not just a race to the bottom.
We often see systems built around the cheapest inverter available. Yet the inverter is the beating heart of your solar system, if it fails, so does everything else.
It’s the same story with panels. While some brands offer flashy guarantees, many are unproven and may not even be around in 20 years. As local solar panel installers with a long-standing reputation, we only install products from manufacturers with proven track records and UK-based support networks.
Every roof is different. But you’d be surprised how many installations are done without proper assessment.
We’ve seen panels thrown onto shaded sections of the roof, mismatched layouts that hamper efficiency, and systems lacking basic access for maintenance. Just because it looks tidy doesn’t mean it’s optimised.
Our local solar installers take the time to get the design right—factoring in pitch, orientation, future needs, and the specific energy goals of your household.
Many systems are sized for today’s needs, but what about tomorrows?
Will your energy use increase? Are you planning to buy an EV, or fit a heat pump later on? Thinking ahead now can prevent costly upgrades later.
That’s why we future-proof every system. Whether it’s allowing for battery storage, or using a scalable inverter, our approach means your solar investment grows with you.
Some companies set up shop one year and vanish the next, leaving you with a system no one wants to take responsibility for.
Wright Renewables is different. We’re part of the Wright Group of Companies, established in 1986. We never subcontract. Our in-house engineers and support team are all local, and we’re proud to be part of the OVO Solar & Heating delivery network.
