About Spark
The Spark vision is to take the standards of the residential solar industry and redefine them. Founded by a team with 3 decades of experience, our goal is prioritising both products and service and placing the customer at the forefront of our ethos.
We are proud to be MCS-registered, HIES and Which? Approved, and known for setting high standards in workmanship, compliance, and customer care.
We don't offer off-the-shelf solar systems. Instead, we have curated a range of panels, batteries, and inverters for their blend of optimal performance and assured quality. We have chosen products that allow us to ensure that every system Spark installs is excellent as standard, seamlessly blending high-quality solar into a bespoke system that is tailored exclusively to our customers.
As demand for domestic solar continues to surge, we're expanding our renewable operations team and are looking for an experienced Solar PV Electrician to assist the installation of our residential solar projects across the UK. This role is attached to our new South East hub, based around Chelmsford.
