Huge Growth Potential – UK Solar to Triple
Solar Panel capacity in the uk is expected to grow from the current 18GW to somewhere between 45 to 60GW by the end of 2030. That’s triple the amount of solar panels to clean in the coming 5 years. In addition to this, we estimate that 5-6% of households currently have solar panels fitted and a large portion of these have been installed within the last 3-5 years.
What this means for you?
Many of the current solar panel installations are coming up to an age where their owners will start to seek cleaning. Many homeowners are waiting until solar panels are showing moderate dirt, moss and lichen before cleaning. Furthermore the current stock of solar panels is likely to increase by 3 times and there’s data to suggest we’ll stop once the 2030 projections are met which suggests the growth will continue.
If you are not positioning yourself to service this growing market now you risk loosing out to other more proactive cleaners who will. This is a service homeowners need and we need great professionals to join the cause and service these customers in a manner which exceeds current expectations of tradesmen.
Why Get Certified? What Difference Does it Make?
Homeowners are cautious and many are fed up with poor standards of tradespeople. Added extras not explained on quotes. Poor standards of work. Unprofessional conduct and generally sub standard service leaves so many homeowners feeling unhappy about services they’ve contracted which have not met expectations.
Furthermore, trust for other directory sites is disputed by a significant number of homeowners which feel these setups are more about a membership fee that actually ensuring good standards. Reviews also appear to have had their day. Many customers don’t trust reviews in general. A roundup of many perfect 5 star reviews is often met with suspicion of fake reviews, reviews from friends or incentivised reviews. Poor reviews can be weaponised by unreasonable customers and competitors.
With Solar Assure UK we are striving to curate a group of top solar panel cleaners who are professional, well presented and take their work and customer service seriously. You’ll have good health and safety standards and maintain an ongoing deep knowledge of solar panel cleaning. When a Solar Assure Certified Cleaner conducts work our homeowners will have their expectations exceeded.
The benefits of being certified:
- Appear in our national postcode search – Get found by more customers. More enquiries means more work and more profit.
- Show proof of safety & insurance – Customers are reassured of your legitimacy which means higher tier customers who value this. This means a higher baseline trust from the customer and better working experience for you. Customers are also mostly happy to pay a small premium for a tradesperson that is properly insured and works safely because they understand this costs businesses time, money and resources.
- Win more work – trust leads to bookings. It’s that simple.
- Access optional support – resources to grow your business and sharpen your edge. Access to our community of other certified cleaners where we encourage mutual support and motivation.
- Use our badge on your van, socials & website – stand out instantly.
A Smarter Alternative to Reviews
We don’t use star ratings or public reviews. There’s no need to spend excessive time hassling customers for good reviews.
Why? Because they’re often unreliable, emotionally skewed, or just plain unhelpful. One bad day can stick to your name forever — even when the work was solid.
Instead, we operate a private feedback loop designed to:
- Encourage honest insights from homeowners.
- Help you improve without public embarrassment.
- Identify trends across the industry so we can support better standards.
- Spot gaps in training, communication, or pricing early.
If an issue arises, we give members a fair chance to respond, improve, and move forward. No witch hunts. No anonymous hit jobs.
The result? A more professional industry, better service for customers, and real business advantage for certified cleaners.
We Call it Quality Assurance Feedback
With our Quality Assurance System we prompt homeowners for reviews on your behalf with the aim to understand, address and improve any applicable points. We collate and share feedback points collectively so all members can learn and understand what pleases homeowners and what doesn’t. It’s a fantastic system which works more like an ongoing market research engine on your behalf and because we anonymously collate and share the information, all cleaners can learn from the feedback of all other cleaning visits.
This is pure gold because it means that you are enabled to understand what changes can be made to improve how we provide Solar Panel Cleaning for homeowners. This leads to more satisfaction and increased trust for Solar Assure. This leads to more work for you.
