Welcome back to Only Panels – Solar Installer Chats!

In Episode 5, we’re joined by none other than Chris Nottingham, known online as The Solar Composer and now running The Solar Roofing Company. Chris has made a name for himself by delivering top-quality solar roofing work on some of the UK’s biggest commercial roofs.

We cover everything from:

✅ Why workmanship matters – and why you should always cable tie your MC4s

✅ The good, the bad, and the ugly of mounting systems (Van der Valk, Renusol, Fastensol, Clenergy, Wagner & more)

✅ The reality of working as a subcontractor in solar

✅ Challenges on large commercial installs vs. domestic jobs

✅ Solar panel quality issues across different brands (JA Solar, Trina, Longi, Perlight…)

✅ Tips for getting into solar roofing and what separates average installs from outstanding ones

This one’s packed with straight talk and real insights from someone who literally lives on the roof.
