What Paisley Homeowners
Say About Our Comparison
"Excellent service from start to finish. Really appreciated the honest comparison of brands — they didn't push us towards the most expensive option. The report compared JA Solar vs LONGi for our semi-detached and clearly explained the difference. Ended up with JA Solar panels and a GivEnergy battery, saving around £1,400 a year. Would highly recommend to anyone in Paisley considering solar."
"Had the Duracell Energy Bank installed alongside our solar panels. Craig and the team were fantastic — very knowledgeable and the comparison report they provided showed exactly why the Duracell was the right choice for our property versus the GivEnergy. The whole process from form submission to installation was smooth and professional. Whole-heartedly recommend."
"Used Paisley Solar Compare to get multiple installer quotes. They found me a significantly better price than I'd found myself by going direct. The brand comparison report was genuinely helpful — I hadn't realised how much the inverter choice matters for shaded roofs. The whole process from comparison to installation took 3 weeks as promised."

Meet the Team
The people behind Paisley Solar Compare
Craig founded Paisley Solar Compare after noticing that most Renfrewshire homeowners were going direct to a single installer — often paying 20-30% more than necessary. After 8 years in the Scottish renewable energy sector, Craig built an independent comparison platform specifically for the PA postcode area. His focus: genuine brand-agnostic advice, no upselling, and connecting Paisley homeowners with the right MCS-certified installer at the right price.
