Solar
Solar for Sandwich and East Kent homes, from budget-friendly DIY kits through to a full MCS-certified installation for households wanting the paperwork sorted and the SEG export payments set up properly.

Two routes: a DIY plug-in system you fit yourself, or a full MCS-certified rooftop install.
