\"\"There is a tool on the SolarQuotes site that almost no one uses.<\/p>\n

Not because it is hidden on purpose. Mostly because it is hard to stumble across.<\/p>\n

This one.<\/a><\/p>\n

Years ago, when the team and I were arguing about the limits of \u201ctrust us, we\u2019ll pick three good installers for you\u201d, we built the Find An Installer tool as an escape hatch.<\/p>\n

It does one simple thing. It gives you control.<\/p>\n

Instead of waiting for three installers to make contact, you can browse local installers on a map. You can sort them by distance from your house, not just by who says they service your area. You can also filter out installers who cover your postcode but are based a long way away.<\/p>\n

You can filter by the brands they install, what they are good at, and their ratings. You can zoom right down to your suburb and see who is actually located near you.<\/p>\n

If you like the old way, nothing changes. If you want more control, this tool is for you.<\/p>\n

\"Filter

The Find An Installer tool comes with a medley of filters to narrow down your search.<\/p><\/div>\n

You Can Bypass Us Completely<\/h2>\n

Once you find installers you like, you have two options.<\/p>\n

You can select them and still have SolarQuotes broker the quotes, with the Good Installer Guarantee<\/a> behind you.<\/p>\n

Or you can bypass us and contact them directly. Their phone numbers and details are right there.<\/p>\n

That part is deliberate. SolarQuotes exists to help people buy solar safely and with less stress, not to trap anyone in a funnel.<\/p>\n

The only difference: we can’t protect you with the Good Installer Guarantee.<\/p>\n

The tool is a bit rough around the edges. It was built years ago and could be better. If you use it, we would love feedback on how it feels to use and what is confusing or clunky.<\/p>\n

When someone asks me, \u201cWho\u2019s good near me, sells this brand, and actually knows what they are doing?\u201d, this is the page I open. It is where I can give an answer I am happy to put my name to.<\/p>\n

I hope it\u2019s useful.<\/a><\/p>\n
