Solar panel installation in Swansea
Many homes in and around Swansea are older solid-wall properties, and coastal exposure makes wind-driven rain and damp a real consideration. 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, and on exposed sites how the fixings are specified.
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. Swansea is covered by the same in-house team that works across the West Midlands, with surveys arranged around our regular South Wales work.
Planning and building rules in Swansea
Roof-mounted panels on most Swansea homes fall under permitted development. Listed buildings, conservation areas and flat-roof installations have tighter rules, and the Welsh rules aren't identical to England's, so we check your address before quoting.
