UK solar buyer quoted £400 for bird protection only after asking
Original: UK solar buyer told bird protection isn't discussed unless asked, then quoted £400
A UK customer looking to install solar panels was told that bird protection for the panels is not discussed unless the buyer specifically asks about it, and was then quoted £400 to add it. The case has drawn attention to how solar installers handle add-on costs and whether key protections for wildlife under panels should be standard practice.
Why now: It highlights a perceived lack of transparency in solar installation pricing that affects many prospective buyers.
