Smart CTRL in short

Smart CTRL is a Wellington installer of solar panels, batteries and car charge points for homes and businesses across Telford and the surrounding area. MCS certification and consumer-code membership sit on the public registers behind the name, its engineers carry stated electrical and charge-point registrations, and every install comes with a long insurance-backed workmanship warranty. If you want panels and a battery from one certified firm with the paperwork already published, this is the round's most complete package.

Reviews of Smart CTRL back the promise, with top marks on Google across dozens of ratings. Insurance is published in full, down to the liability and indemnity figures, which no rival in this round matches. Our review finds two things counting against it: the limited company dates only a couple of years back, and no installation prices appear on the site, so your quote does the talking.

Our verdict

Our judgement: Smart CTRL suits you if you want solar panels or a battery from a Telford firm with MCS certification, consumer-code membership and fully published insurance [2] [3] [4]. The 10-year insurance-backed warranty stands out [2]. What counts against it is a trading record under three years and no published prices [5].
