Based in Stockton-on-Tees, our MCS-certified in-house team designs and installs systems tailored to your property, with fixed quotes, flexible finance options, and no subcontractors involved.

Getting started is easy. You can receive a no-obligation solar panel price in under 60 seconds or speak to our team directly about your home, energy goals, and available grant options.

Is Solar Right for Your Home?

Most homes across Teesside are suitable for solar panels, but the amount of energy your system can generate depends on factors such as roof space, orientation, shading, and your household's electricity usage.

You don't need to work this out yourself. As part of our quotation process, we carry out a full assessment of your roof, energy usage, and property layout to confirm whether solar is suitable and identify the system that will deliver the strongest return for your home.

If you're new to solar and want to understand the technology in more detail, read our guide on how solar panels work before arranging your assessment.

A solar PV system may be suitable if:

  • Your roof receives a good amount of daylight with limited shading from trees or neighbouring buildings

  • You want to reduce your reliance on grid electricity and lower long-term energy costs

  • You're considering battery storage, EV charging, or other home energy upgrades

  • You're looking to improve your home's overall energy efficiency

  • You have available roof space for a system sized to your property's needs

What Type of Solar System Is Right for You?

The best solar setup depends on how and when your household uses electricity. Some homeowners are focused on reducing daytime energy costs, while others want to store energy, charge an electric vehicle, or support a wider home energy upgrade.

Every home uses energy differently. Speak to our team for tailored advice on the right solar, battery, EV charging, or heat pump setup for your property.

Solar Panels Only

Generate electricity during daylight hours and reduce the amount of energy you buy from the grid. Any unused electricity can be exported through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).

Best for:

  • Lower upfront costs

  • Daytime energy usage

  • Reducing electricity bills

Solar Panels with Battery Storage

Store excess electricity generated during the day and use it later when your home needs it most, helping maximise the value of your solar generation.

Best for:

  • Evening energy usage

  • Greater energy independence

  • Maximising long-term savings

Panels, Battery & EV Charging

If you own an electric vehicle, solar can help reduce charging costs by using electricity generated from your roof rather than purchasing it from the grid.

We currently offer a free EV charger with any qualifying Solar PV installation, professionally installed by our engineers with both tethered and untethered options available.

Best for:

  • Electric vehicle owners

  • High electricity users

  • Households looking to reduce transport and energy costs

Solar, Battery & ASHP

For homeowners planning a wider energy upgrade, solar panels can work alongside an air source heat pump to help reduce both electricity and heating costs.

We offer a free air source heat pump with any qualifying Solar PV and battery storage installation, designed and installed as a complete system by our engineers for maximum efficiency and savings

Best for:

  • Homeowners planning long-term energy improvements

  • Properties considering a heating system upgrade

  • Households looking to reduce overall energy expenditure

How Much Energy Will Solar Panels Generate in Teesside?

Teesside offers strong conditions for solar generation, with a typical PV output of around 967.9kWh per installed kW each year.

The amount of energy your system generates depends on factors such as roof orientation, shading, system size, and panel efficiency. South-facing roofs typically achieve the highest output, but east and west-facing roofs can still deliver excellent results and provide strong long-term savings.

Adding battery storage can further increase the value of your system by allowing you to store unused daytime generation and use it later when your home needs it most.

Benefits of Installing Solar Panels in Teesside

Solar installation in Teesside can help lower energy costs, improve how your home uses electricity, and create additional savings opportunities through battery storage and SEG payments.

We’ve covered the top benefits below, but our guide covering the pros and cons of solar panels explores the key considerations homeowners should understand before investing.

Lower Electricity Bills

Every unit of electricity generated by your solar panels is electricity you don't need to buy from the grid. With energy prices remaining significantly higher than historical averages, solar provides a practical way to reduce long-term household costs.

Greater Protection from Rising Energy Prices

Generating your own electricity reduces your reliance on energy suppliers and future price increases. While no system removes energy bills entirely, solar gives you more control over what you spend on electricity year after year.

Make Better Use of Battery Storage

When paired with a battery, unused daytime generation can be stored and used later in the evening when household demand is often highest. This helps maximise the value of the electricity your system produces.

Earn Money Through the Smart Export Guarantee

Any electricity you don't use can be exported back to the grid through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). This creates an additional financial return alongside the savings already being made on your electricity bills.

Increase Your Home's Energy Efficiency

Solar panels can contribute towards a stronger EPC rating and reduce your property's overall reliance on imported energy. This can be particularly beneficial as energy efficiency standards continue to become more important for homeowners and future buyers.

Build a Smarter Home Energy System

Solar works exceptionally well alongside battery storage, EV chargers, and air source heat pumps. Rather than installing technologies individually over time, many homeowners are creating integrated energy systems that reduce both electricity and heating costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have tried to answer most questions here but if you have any other queries please feel free to contact us!

Are solar panels worth it in Teesside?

Yes. Teesside benefits from annual solar generation levels of around 967.9kWh per installed kW, allowing homeowners to generate a significant proportion of their annual electricity usage. When paired with battery storage, solar can further reduce reliance on grid electricity and improve long-term savings.

How many solar panels do I need?

The right system size depends on your electricity usage, roof space, and future plans. As a guide, a 6-panel system is often suitable for lower-usage households, while larger homes or properties with EV chargers and heat pumps may benefit from 10, 16, or 20-panel systems.

Will solar panels work on cloudy days?

Yes. Solar panels generate electricity from daylight rather than direct sunshine. Generation will be lower during overcast conditions, but your system will continue producing electricity throughout the year.

Is battery storage worth adding to a solar system?

For many homeowners, yes. Battery storage allows you to store unused daytime generation and use it later in the evening when household demand is often highest. This helps maximise the value of the electricity your system produces.

How long does solar panel installation take?

Most domestic solar installations are completed within one to three days, depending on system size and complexity. We'll provide a clear installation schedule before any work begins.

Do I need planning permission for solar panels?

In most cases, no. Solar panels are usually classed as permitted development. If your property is listed or located within a conservation area, additional permissions may be required, and we'll advise you during the survey.

Can solar panels power an electric vehicle or heat pump?

Yes. Solar panels can work alongside both EV chargers and air source heat pumps. Many homeowners choose to combine technologies to reduce both electricity and heating costs while making greater use of the energy generated by their solar system.

Can I get funding for solar panels?

Potentially. Eligible households may qualify for a fully funded solar installation through the ECO4 scheme. We can assess your eligibility and explain any grant or finance options available as part of your quotation.
