The Solar Assure Standard
Who We Are
Solar Assure is an independent certification and membership body dedicated to raising standards in the solar panel cleaning industry.
We support both homeowners and professionals by making solar panel maintenance safer, more transparent, and more trustworthy.
Solar Assure exists to protect homeowners and their solar investment by connecting them with independently verified, fully insured, and trusted solar panel cleaners.
We’re not a government agency, but we operate with the same purpose: to ensure the right people are doing the right job to the right standard and to make that clear to everyone.
We help homeowners find verified, insured, and trained solar panel cleaners in their area and help professionals stand out with trust-building tools, support, and visibility.

Protecting Homeowners With Standards You Can Rely On
Solar Assure was created to protect homeowners from unsafe, unqualified, and misleading solar panel cleaning practices.
We saw how many people were being pressured by aggressive sales tactics, confused by conflicting advice, or left with damaged panels from improper cleaning methods.
We knew something had to change so we built a system homeowners can finally trust.
Coming from backgrounds that demanded precision, honesty, and accountability, we understand how important trust is when someone works on your home.
After more than a decade working within the trade industry, we’ve seen firsthand how easy it is for consumers to fall victim to poor workmanship or outright scams.
Solar Assure was born out of frustration with the companies who practice unsafe methods, invalid warranties, or operate without proper insurance.
Homeowners are paying the price and we decided to do something about it.
Our Commitment to Homeowner Confidence
To give homeowners peace of mind and help solar panel cleaning professionals earn trust through visible certification, guidance and consistent standards.
We aim to:
- Promote cleaner accountability through transparent certification.
- Help homeowners protect their solar investment with reliable maintenance.
- Encourage better training, safety, and insurance practices in the industry.
- Build a network of trusted local professionals, not just faceless companies.
Why Trust Solar Assure UK?
At Solar Assure, everything we do is built around one simple principle:
connecting homeowners with trained, vetted professionals they can depend on.
We’ve seen how easily homeowners can be misled by non-certified operators and we built Solar Assure as the answer to that problem. Our approach is shaped by years spent in roles where precision, accountability, and reliability were the standard, and that same standard guides how we assess and approve every cleaner listed with us.
Here’s what sets us apart:
We verify every cleaner thoroughly
No shortcuts. No paid placements. Every professional you see has been checked against strict criteria to ensure they follow safe, warranty-friendly methods.
1. We Independently Verify Every Member
Before becoming certified, every Solar Assure member must provide:
- Proof of insurance
- Valid ID and address verification
- Training credentials or provable experience
- A review of their professional conduct and claims
We’re not a pay-to-list directory. We check before we approve and we reserve the right to revoke certification if standards slip.
2. We Don’t Use Star Ratings or Public Reviews
Most review systems are broken. They’re paid for, filtered, or reflect the loudest voices and not the full story.
Instead, we gather direct feedback privately and use it to monitor standards so we can act on it.
This creates:
- Less incentive to chase perfect ratings
- More focus on real improvement
- A fairer representation of cleaner performance
Your feedback gets amplified to all our solar panel cleaners, not just the ones you use.
This creates a system that improves the standard of cleaning nationwide, ensuring a network of reliable and trustworthy professionals.
3. You Can Check Certification Easily
Every certified cleaner gets a dated membership ID and can be searched directly on our website using their postcode.
Look for the Solar Assure 2025 Member Sticker on vans or websites and scan the QR code to verify their live status.
No certification? Not listed? Then they’re not one of ours.
4. We’re Human, Not a Faceless Brand
Solar Assure was created by professionals who understand what homeowners truly need: reliability, honesty, and respect. We have families and homes of our own, so we know how important it is to feel confident about who you let onto your property.
Every decision we make is guided by real experience rather than corporate targets. We care about clarity, fairness and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your solar panels are being looked after properly. Our work is grounded in practical knowledge and a genuine commitment to supporting homeowners, not in marketing buzzwords or empty promises.
Our team includes professionals from the cleaning industry, technology and customer services. We know what it’s like to work on houses, manage customers, and build something from scratch.
That’s why we’re starting small with genuine intentions and growing carefully to protect what matters: your trust.
How We’re Funded
Solar Assure UK is a for-profit membership body, but certification is free during our initial 6-month launch phase. After that, certified members pay a modest annual fee to continue benefiting from:
- Public trust signals (certification, QR, listing)
- Exposure via our postcode search and SEO pages
- Access to guides, tools, and our internal member area
We believe in earning that fee by giving real, ongoing value and not by locking people into systems that don’t work.
