Check a solar quotation

    Step 1 of 8: Introduction and limitations

    Step 1 of 8: Introduction and limitations

    Before you start

    You type in the details from a solar quotation you have already been given. PowerGuardian then separates what the quotation states, what it omits, what contradicts itself, what the arithmetic implies, and what we cannot assess.

    • There is no score, no rating and no pass or fail verdict.
    • Nothing is verified against any register or document. MCS details have not been independently verified by PowerGuardian.
    • We do not produce our own generation estimate, because no current MCS or UK government estimation method and irradiance dataset is available to us.
    • Savings and payback are not calculated in this free screening.
    • It is not an installation design, technical survey, quotation approval, installer approval, legal advice, financial advice, confirmation of regulatory compliance or a guarantee of any kind.
    • Your entries stay in this browser session unless you choose otherwise. No payment is taken.
    • Uploading a document is optional. If you upload one, we read the details from it and ask you to confirm every value before it is used.

    Add your quotation document (optional)

    You can type everything in manually — that route is unchanged and needs no upload. If you prefer, upload the quotation and we will read the details from it and ask you to confirm each one before it is used.

    • PDF, JPG or PNG. Up to 5 files, 10.0MB each, 25 pages per PDF.
    • Your document is stored privately in your own account area. Only you can open it, and you can delete it at any time.
    • Reading a document is assistance with data entry only. It does not verify anything, does not judge the quotation and produces no score.
    • Extraction can misread documents. Every value is shown to you with the page it came from, and nothing is used until you confirm it.
    • Scanned documents with no readable text cannot be read automatically. If that happens you can still complete the screening manually.
    • Please remove or ignore anything you do not want to share. Only the fields you confirm are used in the screening.

    Uploading requires a My PowerGuardian account so the document can be kept private to you. You can complete the whole screening manually without signing in — nothing is uploaded on that route.
