Local knowledge

Are solar panels worth it in Manchester?

Short answer: on most roofs, yes. Manchester sees roughly 900–1,000 kWh a year for every kW of panels, so a typical 4kW array generates around 3,500–3,800 kWh — enough to cover a big share of daytime demand from spring through autumn.

What makes the sums work here is pairing solar with a home battery and a time-of-use tariff. The battery stores cheap overnight power for dark winter evenings, so your home power costs stay low in the months the roof does little. That's the difference between a system that looks good on paper and one that actually saves money.

Areas covered: Manchester city centre, Salford, Stockport, Trafford, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Tameside, Wigan and the wider North West.

What is a home energy audit?
We read your bill and half-hourly data, walk the fabric of the house and rank what will actually cut your bills — before anyone mentions hardware. Free, remote or on-site.
Do you fit smart homes too?
Yes. We're a smart home fitter as well as an energy installer: lighting, heating, security and monitoring in one app, alongside your solar, battery and charger.
How do I start saving energy at home?
Draughts, insulation and controls first, then generation and storage. Most Manchester homes find a few hundred pounds of savings before spending on kit.
Is it one team or subcontractors?
One accountable team from survey to home fit and aftercare, using certified electricians and our own vetted partner installers.
