Accessibility Statement

APN Solar aims to make its website accessible and easy to use for homeowners, installers and visitors who want information about solar panels, batteries and home energy services.

APN Solar is committed to making this website accessible and user-friendly for as many people as possible.

​

We want visitors to be able to find information, read content, submit enquiries and use the website in a clear and practical way, regardless of device, browser, ability or technology.

​

This Accessibility Statement explains our approach to website accessibility and what users can do if they experience difficulty using the site.

​

​

Our Accessibility Aim

 

Our aim is to provide a website that is clear, readable and simple to navigate.

​

APN Solar provides information about solar panels, battery storage, solar installers, solar repairs, solar panel cleaning, inverters, optimisers and wider home energy services. This information should be easy to access and understand.

​

We aim to make the website suitable for:

​

  • Visitors using desktop computers

  • Visitors using tablets

  • Visitors using mobile phones

  • Visitors using screen readers

  • Visitors using keyboard navigation

  • Visitors using browser zoom

  • Visitors with visual, hearing, mobility or cognitive impairments

​

​

Website Design and Usability

 

APN Solar aims to use a website layout that is simple and consistent.

​

Where possible, we aim to provide:

​

  • Clear headings

  • Logical page structure

  • Readable text

  • Mobile-friendly layouts

  • Clear navigation menus

  • Descriptive links

  • Accessible forms

  • Sufficient colour contrast

  • Alternative text for important images

  • Buttons and links that are easy to identify

  • Content that can be read and understood without unnecessary complexity

​

We also aim to avoid design features that make the website difficult to use, such as confusing navigation, unnecessary movement, poor contrast or text that is too small to read comfortably.

​

​

Compatibility With Assistive Technology

 

APN Solar aims for the website to be compatible with commonly used assistive technologies.

​

This may include screen readers, browser accessibility tools, speech recognition software, keyboard-only navigation, mobile accessibility features and browser zoom settings.

​

We recognise that different users access websites in different ways and will continue to improve the website where practical.

​

​

Mobile Accessibility

 

Many visitors use mobile phones to search for solar installers, request quotes or read advice.

​

APN Solar aims to make its mobile pages clear and easy to use, with readable text, accessible buttons and forms that can be completed on smaller screens.

​

We aim to keep important information and calls to action visible and practical on mobile devices.

​

​

Forms and Enquiries

 

APN Solar uses enquiry forms to help homeowners request quotes or contact suitable solar professionals.

​

We aim to make forms as clear and simple as possible.

​

Where practical, form fields should have clear labels, helpful instructions and error messages that explain what needs to be corrected.

​

If you have difficulty using an enquiry form, you can contact APN Solar through another available contact method on the website.

​

​

Images and Alternative Text

 

Images may be used on the APN Solar website to explain solar panels, home energy improvements, installers or related services.

​

Where images provide important information, we aim to include appropriate alternative text so that users with screen readers can understand the purpose of the image.

​

Decorative images may not always include detailed descriptions where they do not add important content.

​

​

Links and Navigation

 

APN Solar aims to make website links and navigation clear.

​

Links should describe where they go or what action they perform. Buttons should be clearly labelled where possible.

​

We aim to avoid unclear link text where it may confuse users, especially those using screen readers or keyboard navigation.

​

​

Colour and Contrast

 

APN Solar aims to use colour combinations that are readable and clear.

​

Colour should not be the only way important information is communicated. Where possible, text, icons, labels or headings should also support understanding.

​

If any part of the website is difficult to read because of colour, contrast or text size, users are encouraged to contact us so the issue can be reviewed.

​

​

Text Size and Zoom

 

The APN Solar website should be usable with normal browser zoom functions.

​

Most browsers allow users to increase text size or zoom in on a page. We aim to ensure that the website remains readable and usable when zoom is increased, although some layouts may vary depending on the device or browser.

​

​

PDF Documents

 

APN Solar may provide PDF documents, downloads or guides from time to time.

​

We aim to make important website information available in normal web page format wherever possible. However, some PDFs or downloaded documents may not be fully accessible.

​

If you need information from a PDF in a different format, please contact us and we will try to provide a suitable alternative where reasonable and practical.

​

​

Third-Party Content

 

The APN Solar website may include links to third-party websites, embedded tools, maps, videos, forms, analytics services or other external services.

​

We do not control all third-party content or platforms and cannot guarantee that every third-party service will meet the same accessibility standards.

​

If you experience difficulty with a third-party feature on our website, please let us know so we can review the issue.

​

​

Ongoing Improvements

 

Accessibility is an ongoing process.

​

APN Solar aims to review and improve the website over time as the site develops, technology changes and user needs are identified.

​

Improvements may include better page structure, clearer content, improved forms, stronger contrast, better mobile usability and more accessible downloadable documents.

​

​

Known Limitations

 

Although APN Solar aims to provide an accessible website, some limitations may remain.

​

These may include:

​

  • Older PDF files that are not fully accessible

  • Third-party tools or embedded content

  • Images that may need improved alternative text

  • Browser or device-specific display issues

  • Some form or plugin features controlled by external providers

  • Content added before full accessibility checks have been completed

​

We aim to address accessibility issues where they are identified and where it is practical to do so.

​

​

​

​

Requesting Information in Another Format

​

Where reasonable and practical, we will try to provide information in a more suitable format, such as plain text, larger text or an alternative document format.
