Frequently Asked Questions

Honest answers to the questions Manchester homeowners ask us most.

A typical 4kW system for a 2-3 bedroom home costs between £6,000 and £8,000 including installation. A larger 6kW system ranges from £8,000 to £11,000. With 0% VAT and potential grants (like ECO4 or Solar Together GM), the actual cost can be significantly lower — and in some cases, completely free. We offer 0% finance options to spread the cost.
Yes! Solar panels work with daylight, not direct sunshine. They produce energy on cloudy days through diffused light. Manchester produces around 650+ kWh per kW installed annually — about 20-25% less than southern England, but still very profitable. The rain actually helps by naturally cleaning your panels, and cooler temperatures improve cell efficiency compared to hotter climates.
Several schemes are available: ECO4 can provide fully-funded solar panels for eligible low-income households (ending March 2026 — act fast). Solar Together Greater Manchester is a group-buying scheme offering 20-30% discounts. All residential solar installations benefit from 0% VAT until 2027. Plus, the Smart Export Guarantee pays you for surplus energy exported to the grid.
Most residential installations are completed in just one day. Larger systems or those with battery storage may take 1-2 days. From your initial survey to installation is typically 2-4 weeks, depending on scaffolding requirements and your schedule preferences. We work around you and keep disruption to an absolute minimum.
No. Our MCS-certified installation methods are designed to be non-invasive. Panels are mounted on brackets that attach to your roof rafters — not just tiles — creating a secure, weatherproof fixing. In fact, solar panels can actually protect the covered area of your roof from weather exposure, extending its lifespan. All our work comes with a 10-year workmanship warranty.
In most cases, no. Solar panels are classed as a 'permitted development' in England, meaning you don't need planning permission as long as your panels don't protrude more than 200mm from the roof surface and aren't on a listed building or in a conservation area. We check all of this during your free survey and handle any necessary paperwork for you.
