Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions solar panel installers, renewable energy contractors and green energy businesses ask about accounting.
What VAT rate applies to solar installations?
Residential installations are zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then revert to 5%. Commercial installations are standard-rated at 20%. Maintenance on residential systems typically attracts the 5% reduced rate.
How does CIS reverse charge affect installers?
When subcontracting within a CIS chain, you do not charge VAT. The main contractor self-accounts through their return. Your invoice must state reverse charge applies and show zero VAT collected.
Is MCS certification needed for all installations?
MCS certification is required for residential solar and commercial systems up to 50kWp to access Smart Export Guarantee tariffs. Larger commercial systems need relevant competency certifications and Part P compliance.
How is panel and inverter stock valued?
Panels, inverters, batteries and mounting equipment are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Stock represents significant working capital. Accurate year-end valuation directly affects taxable profit.
