Solar consultation & design
Not ready to install yet? Our design service produces MCS-ready layouts, generation forecasts, and equipment schedules you can use for planning, planning permission, or competitive quotes.

Solar consultation & design
Consultation and design produces the plans and paperwork you need before committing to install — panel layouts, equipment schedules, yield estimates, and cable routes suitable for installers and planning checks.
BlankSolar’s design service suits homeowners comparing options, businesses planning capex, or properties in conservation areas where layout evidence matters. You can take the pack to any installer or ask us for a fixed install quote on the same design.
Revisions stay within agreed scope so you are not paying for open-ended drawing time.
- Layout drawings and yield estimates
- Equipment schedules for tender or install
- Design-only or design-plus-install
- Commercial and domestic projects
