Investigation Brief
Tincknell Solar is the renewable-energy division of a family-owned Somerset business founded in 1925. The site offers solar PV and battery-storage services, displays MCS, RECC and NICEIC accreditations, and provides a physical address, email and telephone number in Wells.
Accreditations and company history
The site states that Tincknell Solar is part of the Tincknell Group, which has operated in Somerset since 1925 and now offers fuel, heating, electrical and solar services.
It lists three industry accreditations—MCS, RECC and NICEIC—intended to assure customers that installations meet recognised safety and quality standards.
Quote request and cross-group links
A prominent call-to-action invites visitors to “book a free quote, design and home visit,” directing them to a contact form rather than an immediate purchase.
The page also links to three sibling Tincknell Group sites (Fuels, Heating, Electrical) that operate under the same family umbrella.
Technical signals and isolated detection
One antivirus engine returned a stale detection; no other engines or live threat feeds corroborate malicious code or phishing behaviour.
Why the score is 88
1 independent antivirus family reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.
