Why local matters

Why choose a Gloucester-based solar installer?

Designed for Gloucester homes

Gloucester’s housing runs from Victorian terraces near the centre to newer estates in Abbeymead, Quedgeley and Kingsway. We design each system around the roof you actually have.

Aftercare close to home

If anything needs looking at after installation, we’re local, so you deal with the same team that fitted your panels.

Local planning, checked for you

Gloucester has 14 conservation areas and two Article 4 directions. We check your address at the survey, so there are no surprises later.

How much will solar panels generate in Gloucester?

Using satellite weather data for Gloucester, here’s what a typical 4 kWp system (around 10 panels) produces in a year, depending on which way your roof faces.

East- and west-facing roofs still produce about 80% of a south-facing one, so most Gloucester homes are worth a look. Your instant quote works out the figures for your own roof.

Gloucester FAQs

Questions from Gloucester customers

The things people in and around Gloucester ask us most about going solar.

Rather talk it through?Call our Gloucester office on 01452 471031 or book a free survey.

Where are you based in Gloucester?

Our office is at 22 Lancaster Business Centre, Meteor Business Park, Gloucester GL2 9QL. We survey and install across the city and the villages around it, so you deal with the same local team from your first visit to aftercare.

Do I need planning permission for solar panels in Gloucester?

Most homes don’t. Rooftop solar is usually permitted development, as long as the panels stay below the highest part of the roof and stick out no more than 20cm. Take extra care if you’re in one of Gloucester’s 14 conservation areas, such as Denmark Road: panels can’t go on a wall or roof enclosure facing a road, and flat-roof systems need prior approval.

Gloucester also has two Article 4 directions, at St Michael’s Square and the Southgate Street Conservation Area. In St Michael’s Square, any alteration to the roof needs planning consent. Gloucester City Council has an interactive conservation area map, and we check your address at the survey.

Is there VAT on solar panels in Gloucester?

Solar panels installed on homes currently have 0% VAT, which is scheduled to last until 31 March 2027. Business installations are charged VAT at the standard rate, which VAT-registered businesses can usually reclaim.

Which way should my roof face for solar panels in Gloucester?

South is best, but it isn’t essential. In Gloucester a 4 kWp system generates about 4,000 kWh a year facing south, 3,780 kWh facing south-east and around 3,150 to 3,200 kWh facing east or west. So east- and west-facing roofs still produce about 80% of a south-facing one.

Can you fit solar panels on industrial units in Gloucester?

Yes. Warehouses, factory units and workshops often have large, unshaded roofs and high daytime electricity use, which suits solar well. We survey the roof and electrics and design the system around your usage.

Who is the network operator for solar panels in Gloucester?

National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) runs the local network across Gloucester, as part of its West Midlands area. Smaller home systems are notified to NGED after installation; larger systems, or solar with a big battery, need NGED’s approval before we install. We handle both.

Can I add a battery to my solar panels later?

Yes. A battery can be added to most existing solar systems, so you can start with panels and add storage when it suits you. See solar battery storage in Gloucester.
