What you get from REST
A clear price, a clear saving, no pressure.
Three things matter when you are weighing up solar. REST focuses on all three.
Pay now or spread the cost
Buy outright or ask about finance, including options with no upfront cost. Finance is subject to status, and REST UK acts as a credit broker, not a lender.
Standards you can verify
MCS-certified installation, an insured deposit through HIES, and savings estimates produced under an EPVS-validated process. The details are in your paperwork.
Customer stories
What solar looked like for two REST households.
Real figures from two recent REST contracts, starting with the electricity usage each contract assumes.
Case study
A 10.9 kWp roof for an estimated £2,700 yearly spend
The contract assumes Deepa's home uses about 10,000 kWh of electricity a year at a cost of around £2,700, so the roof needed to be as productive as the space allowed.
REST specified 23 panels (10.925 kWp) with a pair of Fox ESS EP12 batteries, 23.04 kWh of storage between them. Over the first year the contract estimates about 8,213 kWh generated, and around 46% of that is used in the home.
That adds up to an estimated £2,506 first-year benefit: roughly £1,013 from solar used directly, £847 from the batteries and £647 from exporting the rest. The estimated payback is about 10 years.

Case study
A single battery and a big roof: an estimated £1,726 benefit
The contract estimates Salim's household uses about 6,486 kWh a year, costing around £1,742. That is moderate demand for a roof that had room for 18 panels.
REST paired the panels (8.55 kWp) with one Fox EP11 battery of 10.36 kWh. The contract estimates about 7,521 kWh generated in year one, with about 32% used at home and the surplus exported.
Because so much is exported, the largest slice of the estimated £1,726 benefit, about £738, comes from export income. Solar used directly adds around £560 and the battery around £428. Estimated payback is about 8 years.

Customer names are first name and last initial. All figures are estimates taken from each customer's signed REST UK contract, not measured results, and they depend on the roof, usage, tariff and future energy prices. These are selected examples, not typical results. Usage and spend figures are the estimates recorded in each contract, not verified bills.

These are selected examples, not typical results. All figures are estimates taken from each customer's REST UK contract at the time it was signed, not measured results. Older contracts use the government's SAP method and do not quote a payback. Actual generation and savings depend on the roof, shading, how electricity is used and future energy prices, and are not guaranteed.

Panels, batteries and protection, explained plainly.
A good quote is easier to trust when you know what is behind it.
Eurener NEXA panels
European-made panels from a manufacturer that backs them with 30 years of product cover and 30 years of performance cover. REST will help if you ever need to claim.
A choice of battery brands
If a battery suits you, choose from Duracell, Fox ESS, Tesla or Growatt, with the size based on your evening use rather than a default.
Your deposit is insured
HIES provides insurance-backed deposit protection, plus access to dispute help if a problem cannot be settled with REST directly.
Savings shown with their assumptions
Estimates come from an EPVS-validated process and are labelled as estimates. Your written quote sets out how each figure was reached.

Solar in Coventry
What to check before you fit solar in Coventry.
Three local points that can affect your plans, from planning rules to the network connection.
Conservation areas and listed buildings
Coventry has 18 conservation areas, and the council's planning map shows whether your home is in one. Listed buildings need separate consent. Elsewhere, solar on a house roof is often allowed without a planning application, subject to conditions.
Which network you are on
Coventry sits in the West Midlands area run by National Grid Electricity Distribution. REST handles the grid application for your system, but the operator sets the timetable, so we cannot promise a switch-on date.
Roofs, batteries and evening use
Coventry homes range from pre-war terraces to newer estates. Whether a battery pays back depends on how much of your electricity you use after dark, which is why your quote compares solar alone with solar plus storage.

Common questions
Quick answers before you enquire
No. The estimate and the quote are free, with no obligation to buy.
Not always. Your quote compares solar on its own with solar plus storage for your usage, so you can see whether a battery is worth adding.
Shade lowers output, so it is built into your quote. A battery cannot replace generation lost to shade, which is why the roof is checked.
REST UK will contact you using the details you give to talk through your quote, and to arrange a free, no-obligation visit to confirm the details.
The size of the array, any battery, scaffolding and access, and the electrical work needed. Your quote sets these out so you can see where the money goes.
Roofs differ, and a smaller one can still work. REST works out how much of the roof is usable and where shade falls, then recommends a panel count to match.
Yes, through a Smart Export Guarantee tariff that you arrange with your supplier. Rates differ between suppliers.
Not automatically. Backup needs a compatible battery and the right wiring, so tell REST early if it matters to you.
