Questions about our guides

How the REST guides work.

Our guides answer the questions homeowners and businesses ask before choosing solar, batteries or EV charging. New ones are added regularly, with the newest first.

The guides are written for homeowners and businesses thinking about solar panels, batteries and EV charging. They cover the questions our customers ask most, in plain English, and they are checked before they are published.

Yes. The search field checks guide titles, summaries and categories. You can combine a topic button with a search phrase to narrow the results further.

They explain how things work in general. Your roof, your electricity use and your tariff all change the answer, so the REST team can look at your own property and talk you through what suits it.

No. Any finance, savings or export examples are illustrative unless they are part of a proposal written for your property. Finance is subject to status, affordability and lender approval.

New guides are added regularly, covering installation, products, customer protection and tariff changes. The newest guide always appears first.

Yes. Use the topic buttons to find home, battery, EV charging or commercial guides. If you cannot find your question, send it through the form on this page and the REST team will reply.
