Can you install on a terraced house?

Yes — terraced and mid-terrace roofs across Manchester, Salford and Bolton are a large part of our domestic work. Scaffolding and access are priced in at survey.

Do I need my consumer unit upgrading?

Older units sometimes do. We check it at the survey and include any upgrade in the quoted price rather than adding it later.

How quickly can you start?

Typical lead time from accepted quote to installation across Greater Manchester is two to four weeks, subject to scaffolding and the DNO application.

Solar PV across Greater Manchester

Dense urban roofs bring shading from neighbouring buildings and chimneys, conservation-area constraints and older consumer units that often need upgrading before an installation signs off. We survey for shading properly and use optimisers or panel-level electronics where a roof needs them rather than accepting the loss.

Commercial solar in Greater Manchester

Greater Manchester has a large stock of warehouse and light-industrial roofs where on-site consumption is high through the working day — the ideal profile for commercial solar. We model half-hourly data, handle the DNO application and maintain the system afterwards.

Highly recommended
“I can't recommend these guys enough. From the beginning everything was clearly explained and the solar and battery system was designed to meet our needs. The job was completed by competent electricians who cleared up after themselves and showed us how to use the system and the App. Our electricity savings over the last year have far exceeded our expectations and monthly bills have been down to £30 over this summer. We also get paid for export of any excess electricity generated by our energy supplier.”

Had solar panels with battery installed
“Had solar panels with battery installed 2 years ago. It works brilliantly, and the after sales care (helping me to understand how it all works) is fantastic.”

Absolutely thrilled with my solar
“Absolutely thrilled with my solar panels and battery storage installed in March — the difference has been incredible. My electricity bills have dropped each month, and I'm already earning money back by exporting to the grid. The installation team were outstanding: professional, smart, tidy, polite, and genuinely respectful of my home. Choosing solar has been one of the best decisions I've made.”
