These Terms of Service are published for transparency and general guidance only.

The binding contract between Solar & Battery Company.com (The Solar Battery Company Ltd) and each customer is contained within the full Terms of Agreement provided as part of your official quotation and proposal.

While this version reflects our standard practices and obligations, the contractual version you receive with your quotation may differ slightly to meet RECC and MCS compliance requirements.

1. About Us

Solar & Battery Company.com is a trading name of The Solar Battery Company Ltd, registered in England and Wales.

We are members of the Renewable Energy Consumer Code (RECC) (No. 00076764) and certified under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) (No. NAP/73919/24/1).

These memberships confirm our commitment to high installation standards, consumer protection, and fair trading.

2. Scope of Work

We design, supply, and install solar PV systems, battery storage, and related energy solutions as described in your individual quotation.

Quotations are valid for 30 days unless otherwise stated and are based on site conditions known at the time of survey.

3. Standards of Work

All installations are completed with reasonable care and skill in accordance with MCS Installation Standards and the RECC Code of Practice.

Only MCS-certified installers carry out installation and commissioning.

4. Payment Terms

Initial Deposit (25%) – Payable upon acceptance of the quotation.

Fully refundable if you cancel within the statutory cancellation period or if a site survey later shows the installation cannot proceed.

Materials Deposit (35%) – Payable once your installation materials are ordered.

Used solely for purchasing goods for your project.

Together with the initial deposit, these advance payments will never exceed 60% of the total contract price.

Both payments are protected by an insurance-backed guarantee in accordance with RECC requirements.

Final Balance (40%) – Payable upon completion of installation, prior to system handover and certification.

Ownership of all goods transfers once full payment has been received.

Late payments may incur interest at 2.5% above the Bank of England base rate.

5. Cancellations

You have the right to cancel this contract within 14 days of the date you sign it or pay your initial deposit, whichever occurs first.

This is known as your “cooling-off period” under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.

To cancel, please notify us by email at [email protected] or in writing to:

Solar & Battery Company.com, 33 Boston Road South, Holbeach, Spalding, PE12 7LR.

If you wish us to begin work or order materials before the end of the 14-day cancellation period, you must confirm this in writing.

By doing so, you acknowledge that if you later cancel within this period, you may be charged for:

Any goods or materials already ordered or delivered, and

Any work or services already carried out.

After the 14-day period has passed, cancellation may still be possible but may incur costs for work done, materials ordered, or other expenses reasonably incurred.

6. Delays

We make every effort to meet agreed installation dates.

Delays can sometimes occur due to weather, supply issues, or other factors beyond our control.

If an unreasonable delay occurs within our control, you may be entitled to compensation or the option to cancel the contract and receive a refund.

7. Changes and Unexpected Work

Any changes to the agreed work will be discussed and confirmed in writing before proceeding.

If unexpected conditions arise (for example, hidden roof or electrical issues), we will advise you and agree on any cost adjustments before continuing.

8. Warranties and Guarantees

Workmanship Warranty: 5 years roof warranty and 2 years workmanship for battery, backed by an insurance-backed guarantee.

Product Warranties: Manufacturer warranties for panels, inverters, and batteries (typically 5-10 years).

9. Maintenance

Regular inspection and cleaning are recommended to maintain system performance.

Optional maintenance plans are available separately.

10. Liability

We maintain appropriate public and product liability insurance.

We are not liable for:

Pre-existing property or electrical defects,

Indirect losses such as reduced energy savings or export income.

Our total liability will not exceed the total contract value, except for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
