Add a battery now or later
A battery stores spare daytime solar for the evening. It can also charge on a cheaper overnight rate.
Fit one with new panels, add one to panels you already have, or have one on its own.
Bigger roof? Compare 6kW
Detached homes in Four Oaks, Knowle and Dorridge often have more than one good roof face. That's room for 14 or 15 panels.
Ask for both 4kW and 6kW quotes if you're torn. Bigger systems often cost less per panel.
Not ready for rooftop? Start small
Renting, saving up, or a roof you'd rather leave alone for now? A plug-in solar kit on a garden stand is a smaller first step. It plugs into a weatherproof outdoor socket and sends up to 800W into your home.
Renting? Ask your landlord first.
Quick answers
Do you fit the panels?
No. We take your quote request and pass it to installers who cover your postcode. They do the survey, the fitting and the paperwork.
Do I pay anything?
No. It's free for homeowners. You pay the installer you choose, under their own contract.
Do you cover my area?
We take requests across the West Midlands. Send yours and we'll pass it on as soon as we have installers covering your postcode.
Which size should I pick?
Start with the size table. Many 1930s semis have room for around 4kW on one roof face. Terraces and bungalows more often suit around 3kW. Pick 'Not sure' in the form and installers will size it at the survey.
