Available to all Wymondham homeowners with an MCS-certified solar installation, SEG adds £60–£300 per year in additional income. The best tariffs currently pay 5–15p/kWh (Octopus, E.ON Next, EDF).

How Solar Panel Installation Works in Wymondham
Free survey and roof assessment
We visit your Wymondham property to assess roof orientation, pitch, condition, available area, shading, and electrical connection point. We design your system and provide a detailed, fixed-price quote at no charge.
System design and paperwork
We handle all grid connection notifications (G99/G98), any required planning consent, and DNO applications on your behalf. Most systems are notified — not approved — meaning installation can proceed immediately.
Installation — typically 1–2 days
Our MCS-certified engineers mount the racking, install panels, run cable to the inverter location, and connect the system. We commission and test generation, export metering, and the monitoring app before leaving.
Smart Export Guarantee and monitoring setup
We register your system with your energy supplier for SEG payments and set up the monitoring app (Fox ESS, SolarEdge, or Huawei FusionSolar) so you can track generation and savings in real time.
