1. In-House Installers Only
Many companies are just sales teams who sell your contract to a random white-van team. Not us. Every electrician and roofer who steps onto your property is a direct employee of Starks Solar. They are trained to our high standards, drive our branded vans, and wear our uniform. This ensures accountability and quality control on every single job.
2. Free Bird Proofing Included
In rural areas like Abbotts Ann, pigeons and jackdaws can be a nuisance, nesting under warm solar panels and damaging cables. Most companies charge £300+ for bird protection. We include premium bird mesh free of charge with every residential install, ensuring your system remains safe and efficient for decades.
