Solar Panels - Mis-sold Claim

I wonder whether anybody had any success claiming against their solar panel providers please? I have written to my provider to explain what I was told when buying the panels but they have written back to tell me their sales people go through extensive training and wouldn't have given me incorrect information. Where do I go from here?

    What was your complaint? And what evidence did you supply?

    Does your contract match up to what you received?

    What evidence did you supply to support your claim? That is going to be key, if it's your word from a sales meeting against say a documented training program that the firm can point to, then your complaint won't go anywhere. Yes we all know sales staff promise the world and deliver a rock but that is irrelevant if you cannot prove what you are claiming is the problem.

    Unfortunately they didn't come back to reply to that thread, and I'm not confident they will come back to this one either.
