Solar Energy Concepts is a personal blog operated by Nikola Nedoklanov. I share what I have installed, measured, researched and learned as a UK homeowner. I am not acting as your electrician, solar installer, engineer, financial adviser, lawyer or other professional.
Nothing on this site is professional advice or a recommendation tailored to your home, finances, equipment or circumstances. This page explains the basis on which the information is published and the limits that apply when you use or rely on it.
Last updated: 14 July 2026.
Personal blog, not professional advice
The articles, videos, comments, calculators, directories and other material on Solar Energy Concepts provide general information and personal opinion. They do not replace advice from a competent professional who has inspected your property, equipment and proposed work.
Your use of the site does not create a professional-client, adviser-client, fiduciary or contractual relationship between you and Solar Energy Concepts or Nikola Nedoklanov. You remain responsible for deciding whether information is suitable for your circumstances and for obtaining professional advice where you need it.
Electrical and solar safety
Solar panels, batteries, inverters, consumer units and mains electricity can cause fire, electric shock, serious injury or death if they are designed, installed, altered or used incorrectly. An article describing what I did at my own property is not an instruction or approval for you to repeat the work at yours.
Do not carry out electrical or structural work unless you are competent for that specific task. Before starting work, independently confirm the current requirements that apply to your location and installation. These may include Building Regulations, planning rules, electrical standards, DNO approval or notification, equipment certification, manufacturer instructions, testing, commissioning, insurance conditions and landlord or mortgage terms. Requirements can differ across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Use an appropriately qualified and registered professional whenever the work, the law or your own competence requires one. If you are unsure, stop and obtain site-specific advice before buying equipment or starting work.
Calculators, costs and savings
Calculators, system sizes, generation figures, prices, payback periods and savings are illustrative estimates. They depend on the inputs and assumptions shown, including location, roof conditions, shading, consumption, tariffs, export rates, equipment performance, degradation, tax and installation cost. Your result may be materially different.
Nothing on this site is a quotation, valuation, investment recommendation, financial advice or guarantee of output, savings, income, payback or return. Check the assumptions, obtain current quotations and make your own assessment before spending money or entering a contract.
Product data, prices and regulations
I take reasonable care when researching content and correct known errors, but I do not warrant that every page is complete, accurate, current or suitable for a particular purpose. Product specifications, model suffixes, certifications, compatibility, prices, stock, warranties, tariffs, incentives and regulations can change without notice.
Before relying on a product or rule, verify the exact model and current position with the manufacturer, seller, installer, DNO, regulator or other responsible body. Publication or an updated date does not guarantee that nothing has changed since the page was checked.
Advertising, affiliate links and referrals
Solar Energy Concepts is funded in part by advertising, affiliate links and referral links. Google and its advertising partners may automatically select and display ads. The appearance of an advert does not mean that I have tested, approved or endorsed the advertiser, product or claim.
Some links can earn Solar Energy Concepts a commission or referral benefit when a qualifying purchase or signup is attributed to the link. Referral-coded links used on the site include links to Octopus Energy, Fogstar and Pi Supply. A commercial relationship does not turn the seller into my agent, make me a party to your purchase, or transfer responsibility for the seller’s product, service, price, contract, delivery, warranty or support to me.
Affiliate advertising must also be identified where you encounter it; this page is the general explanation of how the site is funded. Commercial relationships do not guarantee a positive review. Opinions remain my own, and you should compare alternatives before buying.
External websites and third parties
Links to external websites are provided because they may be useful. I do not control their content, availability, security, privacy practices, prices or terms, and these can change after a link is published. Check the third party’s current information before relying on it or entering a transaction. Any contract is between you and that third party unless expressly stated otherwise.
Warranties and limitation of liability
The site and its content are provided on an “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no express or implied warranty is given that the site will always be available or that its content is accurate, complete, current, error-free or fit for your particular purpose.
Subject to the next paragraph and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Solar Energy Concepts and Nikola Nedoklanov will not be responsible for loss or damage that arises because you treated general blog content as site-specific professional advice, relied on an estimate as a guarantee, used outdated or third-party information without making the checks described on this page, undertook work beyond your competence, or acted contrary to a safety warning.
Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, and any other responsibility that the law requires Solar Energy Concepts or Nikola Nedoklanov to retain. Nothing here affects any statutory rights that apply to you.
Privacy and cookie choices
This disclaimer does not obtain consent for cookies, analytics or advertising. Those choices are managed through the site’s privacy controls. Using the site does not by itself amount to consent for non-essential cookies or tracking. Privacy questions can be sent to the contact address below.
Changes to this page
I may update this disclaimer when the site, its funding, its tools or the law changes. The revised wording applies from the “Last updated” date shown above.
