Our Agreed Code of Practice: Renewable Energy Consumer Code
Sector: Renewable Energy
As a full member of the Approved Code Scheme, Sussex Solar Ltd has signed-up to a sector-specific Code of Practice - administered by Renewable Energy Consumer Code (as an accredited 'Code Sponsor' organisation) - that ensures higher levels of customer service and stronger consumer rights than those included in UK law. In practice, that means they have agreed to a range of measures guarding against 'sharp' sales practices (i.e. no cold-calling or hard-selling) or overly-complicated and misleading information (i.e. about products or services). Their contracts, terms and conditions, and complaints process must also be clear and fair. And, if something does go wrong, they have agreed to a simple, cheap, fast and independent dispute resolution process (see below).
In this way, Sussex Solar Ltd membership of the Approved Code Scheme sets them apart from the less reputable businesses in the sector. Indeed, it singles them out as both reliable and trustworthy - and a legitimate business that will treat you (or your loved ones) with due care and attention - and respect - at all times. Membership of the Approved Code Scheme isn't something businesses can simply 'pay and display'. It demands dedication (to meet and maintain the strict consumer protection requirements of the Scheme), and a longer-term commitment to raising standards across the entire sector. Cowboys, scammers and con-artists wouldn't make it through the doors (they would be rooted out in the initial vetting) - and any business that doesn't already maintain the highest standards, would barely last 5 minutes (unfortunately, that also includes members of several other trust-based schemes). Based on its continued membership of the Scheme, we are confident that Sussex Solar Ltd is a legitimate business that genuinely cares about its customers - and puts them and their satisfaction first.

If a dispute arises between you, the customer, and Sussex Solar Ltd, in the first instance, please inform them that you are aware of their membership of the Approved Code Scheme and that you have access to the Sussex Solar Ltd Code of Practice they have signed-up to. Staff should have received training on the requirements of the Code of Practice and should deal with your complaint promptly and fairly. However, if you are not happy with their response, you can take it further. Tell them that you are still unhappy and, if they haven't offered it already, ask for details of their independent Alternative Dispute Resolution body (or check Renewable Energy Consumer Code profile page for details). This is a fast-tracked process for resolving your dispute, that saves you the expense and effort of going to court. Renewable Energy Consumer Code provides additional - and more specific - information for resolving disputes with one of their member businesses on their Profile Page.

Membership of the Approved Code Scheme does not guarantee that member businesses will offer the best service possible, nor provide a seamless or trouble-free customer experience. As with all trust-based schemes, the effectiveness of the Approved Code Scheme depends on our business members abiding by the terms of their membership. However, each business has been vetted by its Code Sponsor organisation. And, if things do go wrong, the Code of Practice that Sussex Solar Ltd has signed-up to make specific provisions for dealing with any issues. These provisions ensure that the business will do all it can to ensure your satisfaction, long before a dispute arises. You can read more about the Approved Code of Practice that Sussex Solar Ltd has signed-up to on their Code Sponsor organisation's profile page - in this case, Renewable Energy Consumer Code.
