Solar is confusing on purpose, sometimes. We're trying to fix that.

Maya Solar started from a simple frustration: most solar advice online is either a sales page dressed up as an article, or written for people who already understand kWp, SEG and MCS. If you're looking into panels for the first time, neither is much help.

So we write it the other way round. Every guide on this site starts from the question a first-time buyer actually asks — "is this worth it?", "how much will it really cost?", "am I going to get hassled by salespeople?" — and answers it plainly, with real 2026 figures and no exaggeration.

What we do

We explain solar panel installation, costs, grants, battery storage, maintenance and the Smart Export Guarantee in plain English, then match homeowners who want to go ahead with MCS-certified installers for a free, no-obligation survey and quote. We are not an installer ourselves, and we don't charge homeowners anything.

How we make money

When a homeowner requests a quote through Maya Solar, we introduce them to vetted MCS-certified installers, who may pay us for that introduction. It never affects the price you're quoted, and we only work with installers who meet MCS standards — our reputation depends on it.

Why there's no phone number

On purpose. Every enquiry comes through our online form or [email protected], so nothing gets lost in a phone queue and nobody has to sit through a sales call to get an answer. If an installer contacts you, it's because you asked for a quote — never before.

Editorial standards

Costs, grant rules and Smart Export Guarantee figures are reviewed regularly and year-pinned, so what you read reflects current UK schemes rather than outdated averages. We link to primary sources — gov.uk, Ofgem and MCS — wherever a claim needs backing up.
