Working throughout Wiltshire providing quality solar solutions.

Most residential solar panel installations in Wiltshire can be completed within one to two days. This timeframe includes mounting the panels, connecting the inverter, and integrating with your home’s electrical system. For larger or more complex systems—especially those with battery storage or EV chargers—the process may take slightly longer.

Before installation day, we’ll already have conducted a thorough site survey and submitted any necessary applications to the DNO (District Network Operator). This planning ensures a smooth, efficient install with minimal disruption to your daily routine. Our qualified team will also handle all safety checks, commissioning, and handover on completion.

Yes, solar panels are highly effective in the UK, including Wiltshire. While they work most efficiently in direct sunlight, they still generate electricity on cloudy days thanks to advanced photovoltaic (PV) technology that captures diffused light.

Solar systems are designed to maximise annual generation rather than peak on sunny days alone. In fact, the UK’s moderate climate keeps panels cooler, which helps them operate more efficiently compared to extremely hot countries. Your system will be designed to suit local weather conditions and deliver year-round performance.

In most cases, solar panel installations fall under "Permitted Development Rights," which means planning permission isn’t required. This applies to both domestic and commercial buildings, provided certain conditions are met, such as not extending beyond the roof edge or being installed on listed buildings.

If your property is located in a conservation area or is subject to special restrictions (e.g. AONB – Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), we’ll guide you through any additional planning steps. Our team will advise on all compliance matters and, if needed, handle the planning application on your behalf.

The amount you save depends on your electricity usage, system size, and whether you include battery storage. Most homeowners can expect to save 50–70% on their annual electricity bills, and even more if they optimise usage during daylight hours.

Over time, these savings can amount to thousands of pounds, making solar a solid long-term investment. You may also earn money through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), where excess electricity is sold back to the grid—providing additional income on top of your savings.

Solar panels are incredibly durable and typically come with warranties of 25 years or more. Many systems continue to produce electricity well beyond that timeframe, although their efficiency may gradually decrease by a small percentage each year.

Inverters may require replacement after 10–15 years, but they are the only major component likely to need attention. With proper maintenance and occasional cleaning, your system will deliver reliable performance for decades.

Absolutely—solar battery storage can be added at any time, either during the initial installation or as an upgrade later. Many homeowners in Wiltshire start with solar panels and choose to add batteries once they see how much unused energy they produce.

Adding storage allows you to keep more of your generated power, increasing your energy independence. It also protects you during power outages and enables off-peak energy use, helping you get the most out of your solar system.

Yes, solar panels are widely recognised as a home improvement that can boost property value. Buyers are increasingly seeking energy-efficient homes, and the prospect of lower energy bills makes your property more attractive.

In Wiltshire and across the UK, energy efficiency ratings (EPCs) now play a bigger role in property valuation and mortgage applications. A solar PV system demonstrates long-term cost savings and environmental awareness—key selling points for today’s market.

Solar PV systems are extremely safe when installed by accredited professionals. All components must meet rigorous UK safety standards, and systems are installed with circuit protection, earthing, and isolation switches.

Once fitted, they require little maintenance and pose no risk of noise or pollution. Our installations are carried out by qualified electricians and solar engineers, ensuring everything is safe, efficient, and compliant with MCS regulations.

Solar panels are low-maintenance, with no moving parts that require regular attention. Most systems just need an occasional clean to remove dirt, leaves, or bird droppings that may reduce efficiency.

It’s also recommended to schedule a professional inspection every year or two to ensure all components are functioning properly—especially the inverter, wiring, and mounting system. In Wiltshire, where rural and agricultural settings are common, regular cleaning may help maximise performance due to increased pollen or dust.

By default, grid-tied solar panel systems automatically shut off during a power outage for safety reasons. This protects utility workers from injury while they repair the lines.

However, if you install battery storage with a backup function or an off-grid inverter system, your solar setup can continue supplying power even during a blackout. This is particularly useful in rural areas of Wiltshire where outages may be more common.

Most roof types in the UK—including slate, tile, and metal—can accommodate solar panels. Our team assesses roof pitch, orientation, and structural integrity before installation to ensure suitability.

If your roof isn’t ideal due to shading, limited space, or structure, ground-mounted systems or flat roof installations may be a better option. We’ll always provide the most efficient and cost-effective recommendation tailored to your property.

A typical 4kW solar PV system—suitable for many homes—requires around 25 to 30 square metres of unshaded roof space. The actual number of panels needed depends on the panel wattage and your energy requirements.

Our installers will perform a site survey to determine how many panels your roof can accommodate and how to arrange them for maximum exposure to sunlight. Even if you have a smaller or awkward-shaped roof, bespoke designs can often make it work efficiently.

Yes! Most modern solar PV systems come with smart monitoring apps or online dashboards that allow you to track real-time energy production and consumption. This gives you insights into your usage habits and helps you make the most of your solar power.

Monitoring tools can also alert you to system faults, reduced output, or maintenance needs. Whether you're in central Wiltshire or in a rural village, remote monitoring ensures you're always in control of your energy performance.

The size of your solar system depends on your average energy usage, available roof space, and budget. A typical UK household may install a 3–6kW system, while businesses often require 10kW or more.

During your consultation, we’ll review your energy bills and conduct a property assessment to recommend the most cost-effective system size. We tailor installations to meet both residential and commercial energy goals in Wiltshire.

No, when installed correctly by qualified professionals, solar panels won’t damage your roof. In fact, they can even protect the roof surface underneath from weather and UV exposure.

Our team uses industry-approved mounting systems designed for your specific roof type. We take care to seal and waterproof all fixings to prevent leaks, and we’ll never proceed with an installation if the roof structure isn’t sound.
