Tom Solar provides information and the first property check.
Tom Solar is run by Tom Kinnaird, an independent solar consultant based in Fife. I provide practical guidance, initial roof checks and preliminary system-design advice. If you want an installation quotation, I can help you explore suitable installers. I will identify any proposed installer and ask your permission before sharing your details.
There is no charge for the free roof check, and submitting a property does not commit you to a survey, quotation or purchase. Read the privacy notice for the full details.
