Sound familiar?

Paying more for electricity every year, and using it mostly in daylight?

Most homes buy every unit of electricity from the grid, including the power they use in daylight, when their own roof could be producing it.

Solar only pays back when the system is sized to how you actually use energy, positioned for your roof, and paired with storage where it makes sense. Get any of those three wrong and the savings never turn up.

Size a system for my home
  • Bills that keep rising

    Every price change lands straight on your bill, with nothing generated at home to offset it.

  • Daytime power bought in

    The hours your roof could cover are the hours you're still paying the grid for.

  • Export for pennies

    Without a battery, surplus power goes to the grid cheaply and comes back at full price in the evening.

  • Systems sold, not designed

    Panel counts picked from a brochure rather than from your roof, your usage and your shading.

What's Included

  • Free site survey and a system design sized to your electricity use
  • MCS certified solar panel installers, equipment and paperwork
  • High-efficiency panels from AIKO, JinkoSolar and Trinasolar
  • Growatt and SolaX inverters, with battery storage options

Solar panel installation in Solihull and Birmingham

Solihull and Birmingham have a broad mix of homes, from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to 1930s semis and post-war estates. For solar, the age of the house matters far less than the roof: its direction, pitch and any shading from neighbouring buildings or trees decide how many panels are worth fitting.

What the survey checks

We look at the roof's orientation, pitch and shading, check the structure and tiles, and go through a year of your electricity bills, so the system is sized to what you actually use, with or without a battery. As our home base, Solihull and Birmingham gets same-week surveys for most enquiries.

Planning and building rules in Solihull and Birmingham

Roof-mounted panels on most Solihull and Birmingham homes fall under permitted development. Listed buildings, conservation areas and flat-roof installations have tighter rules, so we check your address before quoting.

Case study

Solar PV Installation

A rooftop solar PV installation for a family home, designed around the roof and the household's electricity use, then fitted and commissioned by our own MCS certified team.

This solar PV installation case study covers a full rooftop system for a family home: the panel layout, the inverter setup and the connection into the property's existing electrical supply, all completed by our own team on a property in the West Midlands.

The design started with the roof rather than with a package. Orientation, pitch and shading decide what a roof can realistically produce, and the household's own electricity use decides how big the system needs to be to be worth having. That's what sets the panel count on every family home solar installation we carry out.

We required an urgent new boiler installation due to the old one breaking down and being unrepairable. Greentek Energy supplied and fitted a new one at very short notice so our tenants could have heating and hot water again. We are very grateful to Greentek Energy and would recommend them highly.

What it costs

What Solar Panel Installation Costs

There's no single solar panel installation cost, because a system is sized to your roof and your electricity use rather than sold by the panel. These four things move the number.

  • System size

    How many panels your usage justifies, and how many the usable roof will take.

  • Your roof

    Pitch, tile type, height and access, which decide the scaffolding and fixings needed.

  • Battery storage

    Whether you add storage, and how much, to use more of what you generate.

  • Electrical work

    Inverter choice, cable runs and any consumer unit work the install needs.

Every quote includes

  • A free site survey, with no obligation to go ahead
  • A fixed price agreed in writing before any work starts
  • Materials, labour and making good, in one price
  • Our own team throughout — no subcontractors marking the job up
  • A written workmanship warranty on completion

We don't quote over the phone from a postcode — the survey is what makes the price fixed rather than an estimate that moves. Finance is available through Ideal4Finance, subject to status.
