Which should you choose?

We deliberately do not pick a winner: the right choice depends on your roof, your existing equipment and your tariff, and we hold no evidence that would justify a general ranking. Put both through a full compatibility-checked design instead.

Automatic Expert Manufacturer Approved Manufacturer Guaranteed

Compatibility levels: what we have read, and what the manufacturer has promised

Minute Solar's reading

Automatic. Read by Minute Solar from recorded specifications, compatibility groups or a stored record that has not yet been reviewed; no manufacturer approval is recorded.
Expert. Reviewed and accepted by a named expert within their approved area, or supported by Minute Solar testing; it is not manufacturer approval or a guarantee.

The manufacturer's word

Manufacturer Approved. The manufacturer has confirmed this exact pairing in writing (grey tick).
Manufacturer Guaranteed. A contractual manufacturer guarantee is recorded for this pairing (blue tick).

A is the default: our reading of a stored record or a manufacturer compatibility group before anyone has reviewed it, not the manufacturer's word. No decision recorded means there is neither, and it is not incompatible. Evidence applies to the stated pairing and conditions.
