For your home

Solar panel installation, sized to your actual bills.

Tier-1 panels, MCS-certified install, fixed written quote. We fit solar across Yorkshire from our Leeds base — and we'll tell you up-front if solar genuinely doesn't suit your roof.

What's included

A proper solar install — not just panels on a roof.

Tier-1 panel brands

We fit panels from manufacturers with long financial track records — so the 25-year warranty is still worth something in year 24.

Sized for your roof and bills

We model the layout and yield for your specific roof, then balance system size to your actual consumption — not a fill-the-roof default.

MCS-certified install

Required for Smart Export Guarantee payments. Every install is documented, certified and handed over with the paperwork pack.

Bird mesh and pigeon guard

Standard on every install — the gap under panels is otherwise a pigeon hotel waiting to happen.

Tidy cable routing

Internal where we can, neat conduit where we can't. Nothing draped across the brickwork.

Real handover

We walk you through the monitoring app, show you what the inverter is telling you, and leave a printed copy of everything.

The maths

What payback actually looks like on a Yorkshire home.

  • Typical 4 kWp system — around 3,400–3,800 kWh generated per year in Yorkshire.
  • With a 5 kWh battery — most homes use 60–80% of their own solar instead of selling it cheaply and buying it back expensively.
  • Typical bill saving — £900–£1,400 a year at current electricity prices.
  • Payback — usually 7–10 years; the panels keep generating for another 15+ after that.
Common questions

Solar panels — frequently asked

  • We size to your actual electricity use. A typical Yorkshire household uses around 3,300 kWh a year and pairs well with a 4 kWp system; bigger homes, EV drivers and electric-heated homes often want 6–8 kWp. We model the maths on every quote.

  • Modern tier-1 panels come with a 25–30 year performance warranty. After 25 years they typically still produce 85%+ of their original output. Inverters last 10–15 years and are usually the only part you'll need to replace in the system's life.

  • Yes — they produce less in December and January than in June, but they still generate. UK panels are designed for diffuse, cloudy light, and the cold actually slightly improves their efficiency.

  • You should tell your insurer, but in our experience it rarely changes premiums. The install is MCS-certified and the electrical work is signed off under NAPIT's competent person scheme — both of which insurers recognise.
