About this sector
Solar has moved from an early-adopter purchase to a mainstream one, and the installer market has followed, with a mix of long-established electrical contractors adding renewables and new firms that exist only to sell panels. The Guide prefers the former, because the electrical work is the part that goes wrong.
Every installer listed here holds MCS certification in its own name, which is checked on the register rather than taken from a website badge.

Questions about solar & battery installers
How much does solar cost in West Yorkshire?
A typical domestic system of around 4kW costs £5,000 to £8,000 installed by a West Yorkshire MCS-certified firm, and adding a battery of 5 to 10kWh takes that to roughly £8,000 to £13,000. Commercial installations are priced per kilowatt-peak, commonly £900 to £1,400 per kWp for a straightforward roof, falling with scale. Quotes far below these ranges usually mean uncertified labour or components without a serviceable warranty.
Do I need an MCS-certified installer?
Yes if you want to export power under the Smart Export Guarantee, which requires an MCS certificate for the installation, and yes in practice because MCS is the only scheme that audits the installer’s work. Check the certificate belongs to the company doing the work: some firms sell under their own name and subcontract to a certified installer, which is legal but changes who is responsible if something fails.
Is a battery worth it?
Increasingly, yes. A battery lets you use your own daytime generation in the evening rather than exporting it for a few pence per unit and buying it back at full price, and it opens up cheap overnight tariffs. Payback in West Yorkshire is typically six to ten years for a well-sized system. The mistake to avoid is a battery too large for the panels feeding it.
