Our verdict

Hometree is a GB solar-panel marketplace for homeowners who want panels quoted and fitted rather than a boxed battery. It runs in GB only, and every panel carries a warranty of 20 to 25 years, well past what most rivals in this group offer.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Panels come with a warranty of 20 to 25 years, far above the group.
  • Help runs through email, chat and phone, phone and chat included.
  • A named seller, Hometree Marketplace Limited, trading since 2015.

Cons

  • The range runs to solar panel only, so anyone after a home battery or power station has to look elsewhere.
  • Coverage is a single market, GB, so quotes and warranty handling are arranged in that country only.
  • Group warranties top out at 10, well under the 20 to 25 years here.

Who it suits

  • UK homeowners with usable roof space who want panels installed, not just delivered
  • Buyers who put cover length first: 20 to 25 years against a group maximum of 10 years
  • People who want more than email, with email, chat and phone on offer

Who should look elsewhere

  • Buyers after a home battery or power station: DATOUBOSS covers both.
  • Shoppers who want a single maker for the full kit: ALLPOWERS lists power stations, solar generators, home batteries, balcony solar and solar panels.
  • Buyers after a balcony kit: ALLPOWERS lists balcony solar, which Hometree's solar panel range leaves out.

Frequently asked questions

What does Hometree actually sell?+

Hometree is a GB marketplace built around solar, and the listed product range is solar panel alone, which is the main gap against the brands ranked alongside it. Buyers who want storage rather than generation should read the ranges of DATOUBOSS and ALLPOWERS first.

How long is the warranty?+

Every panel listed on Hometree carries a warranty of 20 to 25 years. The median warranty across the brands in this group is 5 years, so Hometree's cover sits well clear of the field.

How do you get help?+

Support runs through email, chat and phone, so questions can go to a person by phone as well as through the help centre. In this ranking a help centre is the most common channel and chat the least, and Hometree offers both.

Where does Hometree operate?+

Hometree trades in GB and its headquarters is in the United Kingdom. That makes it a single-market seller, so quotes, installation and warranty handling are all arranged for a single country rather than a wider region.

Who am I buying from?+

The seller of record is Hometree Marketplace Limited, a UK company trading since 2015. Buyers deal with a named legal entity rather than a trading name, which matters when an installer is arranged on your behalf.

How does Hometree compare with DATOUBOSS and ALLPOWERS?+

It depends on the hardware. Hometree lists solar panel only, DATOUBOSS covers power stations and home batteries, and ALLPOWERS spans power stations, solar generators, home batteries, balcony solar and solar panels. Hometree's edge is warranty length.

What do the other brands in this ranking sell?+

The ranking covers home batteries and balcony solar as well as panels. DATOUBOSS lists power stations and home batteries, Allpowers lists power stations, solar generators and solar panels, and ALLPOWERS adds home batteries and balcony solar. Hometree's solar panel range is the narrowest in the group.
