MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) accreditation is not merely a badge. It is what allows the customer to actually get paid for exported electricity through the Smart Export Guarantee. State clearly that the installation will be MCS-certified. A customer who later finds their system isn't eligible for export payments because of an uncertified install will hold the installer responsible, regardless of how well the panels themselves were fitted.

A roof survey and structural assessment is a real, separately billable step before you can commit to a firm price. Roof orientation, shading, and the condition of the roof structure itself all affect feasibility and final cost. Price the survey on its own, and credit it against the job if the customer proceeds. That's standard practice, and it avoids giving away a technical assessment for free on jobs that don't go ahead.

Notifying the Distribution Network Operator (DNO) before connecting a system to the grid is a legal requirement, not paperwork you can skip. Some installations need DNO approval before work even starts, which can affect your schedule. Flag this explicitly if the property's local grid capacity is a known constraint in the area, instead of assuming approval will be instant.

Break out panels, inverter, and scaffolding as separate line items instead of one bundled "solar system" price. Scaffolding in particular is a real, sometimes substantial cost that has nothing to do with the panels themselves. A customer comparing your quote against one that excludes scaffolding access will otherwise assume yours is simply more expensive for the same job.

Frequently asked questions

It is required for the customer to receive Smart Export Guarantee payments for electricity they export back to the grid. An uncertified install can mean a customer misses out on that income entirely.

The Distribution Network Operator must be notified before a solar system connects to the grid. Some areas require approval before work starts, which can affect scheduling.

It is a real access cost independent of the panels and inverter themselves. Pricing it separately avoids a customer assuming your quote is inflated compared to one that quietly excludes it.
