Yes. Bright Ray Solar is focused on domestic solar, meaning solar for houses and other homes. This site explains how home solar works and how to prepare a sensible enquiry.
Domestic solar →Preparation
Your main goal, the approximate location and type of home, whether you own it, anything you have noticed about the roof and a rough idea of when energy is used. The enquiry checklist helps you pull this together.
Enquiry checklist →Preparation
Not at first. A rough idea of usage is enough to start, and you can add detail later. Please do not send full bills or account numbers unless we ask and you have confirmed who is asking.
Understanding your energy use →Preparation
No. The number of panels follows from your roof, your energy use and your goals, so it is better settled after an assessment than guessed beforehand. Knowing your priorities helps more than a panel count.
System sizing guide →Home
Photos help with a first impression, but they cannot show roof condition, structure, shade through the year or access. A proper assessment is needed before anyone can say what is suitable.
Roof suitability guide →Home
Roof direction, pitch and shading all influence how a system performs, and the best arrangement depends on the individual home. Describe what you see and let an assessment confirm what is practical.

You can ask, but permission from the owner, landlord or freeholder is often needed, and shared roofs raise extra questions. Note your situation when you get in touch so the conversation starts in the right place.
Planning and property permissions →Home
Yes, if you are thinking about adding to or changing an existing system. Tell us what is installed, how old it is and what you want to change, and keep any paperwork you have for later.
Existing solar systems →Scope
Ask for it in writing. A clear scope lists what is included, what is not and what you would need to arrange yourself. If two offers describe different work, their totals cannot be compared like for like.
Comparing solar quotes →Scope
Ask for the full legal name and company number of the contracting party, and for the role each business plays in the work. Registered details can be checked on the public company register.
Comparing solar quotes →Scope
No. Sending an enquiry or a completed checklist is only a way of starting a conversation. Nothing is agreed until you have received a written scope and chosen to go ahead.

Our costs and value guide explains what influences the price of a home system and how to think about the return. It does not quote prices or promise savings, which depend on your home.

Bright Ray Solar Limited, registered under company number 16749680.
Who am I dealing with?
Jerome Bryan is the company director.
Who runs the company?
59, Shearmans, Fullers Slade, Milton Keynes, MK11 2BQ, United Kingdom.
Where is the company registered?
[email protected] is the address for enquiries.
How do I get in touch?
A short note is enough: what you hope solar will do for your household, roughly where the home is, the type of property, whether you own it and anything you have noticed about the roof. The enquiry checklist turns this into a sheet you can copy or print.
Leave out bank details and full bills unless you are specifically asked and have confirmed who is asking. Approximate figures are fine at the start.
Lower bills, more use of your own power, a battery or planning ahead for an electric vehicle all lead to different conversations.
What do I want solar to do?
Approximate location, property type, ownership and what you can see of the roof.
What do you need to know about the property?
When the household is at home, big appliances and any existing solar or battery equipment.
How do I describe my energy use?
Generally not with confidence. Photographs and satellite views are a useful start, but shading, roof condition, structure, the electrical set-up and access all need to be checked properly before anyone can say what suits a home.
Treat any firm promise made without an assessment with caution. A sensible first conversation sorts out what is worth looking at, then an assessment confirms what is possible.
Condition, covering, pitch and what lies beneath all affect what can be fitted.
Why does the roof need checking in person?
Trees, chimneys and neighbouring buildings cast shade that changes with the seasons.
Does shading matter?
The existing supply and consumer unit influence what is practical.
Does my wiring affect the answer?
Ask for the scope in writing before you agree to anything: what work is included, what is not, who carries it out and which company you would be contracting with. If any of that is unclear, ask again until it is clear.
Our guide to comparing quotes sets out the points worth checking side by side, and the same approach applies to any enquiry, including one to us.
A clear list of what is included and what is excluded, so two offers can be compared fairly.
What exactly is included?
Whether the company you speak to carries out the work itself or arranges it through others.
Who will do the work?
The legal name and company number of whoever the agreement is with.
Who am I contracting with?
