Step 1 of 6
Where's the house?
What type of home is it?
Roof shape and size affect how many panels we can fit.
Do you own the property?
Solar needs the owner's go-ahead, so this helps us plan the right conversation.
What are you looking at?
"Not sure yet" is a perfectly good answer. We'll tell you what makes sense for your home.
Roughly what's your monthly electricity bill?
A rough figure is fine. It helps us size the system before we quote.
Where should we send your quote?
We'll give you a quick call to arrange your free home survey.

Solar on a semi, South Wales
0% VAT on home solar panels and batteries
What we fit
Solar on its own, a battery for solar you already have, or both together. Designed around your roof and your bills, not a one-size package.
Battery storage
Keep using your solar after the sun's gone down. The house runs on stored power in the evening instead of buying from the grid.
- Sized to how you actually use power
- Fitted with new panels or added to existing solar
Solar and battery together
The setup most homes go for. Generate in the day, store the extra, use it at night, and top up from cheap overnight tariffs in winter. One team designs and fits the whole system.
- Biggest cut to your electricity bill
- Works with smart and EV tariffs
- Network operator notified, certificates handed over
- Ready for an EV charger or heat pump later
From first call to switch-on
You'll deal with the same small team the whole way through.

Why Six Energy
Six Energy is run by two installers who've spent years fitting solar and heating systems in people's homes.
They started Six Energy to do the job the way they always thought it should be done: a proper survey before a price, honest advice about what will and won't pay back, and the people who quote your system being the people who fit it.
No sales floor, no board to answer to, and no pressure. If solar is right for your home, we'll show you the numbers and let you decide.
- Installers first, salespeople neverBoth founders come from the tools, not the call centre. You get a straight answer about what your roof can do.
- One fixed price, confirmed at surveyWe check the roof and supply before quoting, so there are no add-ons on install day.
- Battery sized to how you liveEvening cooking, a car on the drive, a heat pump on the way: the battery is sized to that.
- Local, and still local after installBased in South Wales and covering the West of England and the South Coast. If anything ever needs a look, you call us.
What homeowners say
What people tell us once the panels are on, the battery is charging and the first bill comes in.
Google reviews from homes we have fitted.
The survey was thorough, the quote was exactly what we paid, and with the battery we hardly draw from the grid in the evenings now.
They talked us out of a bigger system than we needed. Honest, tidy, and the app was set up before they left.
Scaffold up on the Monday, panels on by the Tuesday, certificates in my inbox that week. Couldn't fault it.

Common questions
Anything else? Give us a call and ask.
How much does home solar cost?
It depends on the size of the system, whether you add a battery, and how straightforward your roof and consumer unit are. That's why we survey first and then give you one fixed price in writing, with VAT at 0%. There's no obligation at any point.
Is a battery worth it?
For most homes, yes. Without a battery, the solar you generate while you're out at work is mostly exported. A battery keeps it for the evening when you're actually using power, and can also charge up cheaply overnight on a smart tariff in winter. We'll show you the numbers for your usage either way.
Does my roof need to face south?
South is ideal but east and west facing roofs still work well, and splitting panels across both can spread generation through the day. North facing roofs are usually not worth it. We'll tell you honestly at the survey.
How long does the install take?
Usually a day or two once the scaffold is up. We confirm the timing at the survey, then test and commission the system before we leave, connect the monitoring app and hand over the certificates.
Do I need planning permission?
Usually not. Roof-mounted solar on most homes is permitted development. Listed buildings and conservation areas can be different, and we'll flag that at the survey if it applies to you.
What happens at the survey?
We look at the roof, the loft, your consumer unit and where the inverter and battery would go, and we talk through how you use electricity. From that we design the system and send you a written quote.
