Solar and Storage

Central Point Registration System

With the end of the Feed-in Tariff (FITs) scheme on 1st April 2019, you, as an installer, will no longer be able to sell based on this incentive. However, this opens up an exciting opportunity to help consumers achieve energy independence by increasing their self-consumption percentage, which will reduce their energy bills and safeguard them against potential future energy price increases. The combination of solar PV and storage could achieve those aims.

By joining Flexi-Orb you can register your customers for FREE on the Flexible Energy Register for solar and storage in a single registration. We will then send your customer a certificate and ask them to complete a customer satisfaction review. We will also provide you with advice and guidance on best practice for selling the solar and storage package to consumers to help them make an informed decision which may help increase your sales.

Help Your Customers Buy Through Finance

A quarter of British adults have no savings (reported by The Independent), therefore it doesn’t matter how good you are at selling or how much consumers want your products, if consumers don’t have the money to buy then you won’t sell. If you can help them buy you can get more sales.

Over the last few years, we have worked hard to keep the major finance lenders in the sector and keep lending in the marketplace to help you sell more. By becoming a member of Flexi-Orb we can introduce you to these lenders to help you gain consumer finance.
