- HOW IT WORKS
A straightforward process, from

We keep the process clear and personal at every stage.

Tell us about your property and what you're hoping to achieve. We'll ask a few questions to understand your usage.
Site Survey
We assess your roof, electrics and energy usage on site to confirm what's possible and what makes sense.

You'll receive a clear, honest proposal with system size, equipment recommendations and expected performance.

How much do solar panels cost in Cheddar?
Most home solar and battery systems fall between £6,000 and £12,000 installed, depending on roof size and the battery you choose. We send a clear, itemised quote within 24 hours of your enquiry, with no sales visit needed.
Do I need planning permission for solar panels in the Mendips?
Usually not. Roof-mounted solar on a house is permitted development in most cases, including inside the Mendip Hills National Landscape. Listed buildings and the conservation areas in Cheddar and Axbridge need extra care, and we will tell you honestly if planning is needed before you spend anything.
Is a battery worth adding?
For most homes here, yes. A battery stores the daytime power you do not use so you run on it in the evening instead of buying from the grid, and it pairs well with cheap overnight tariffs. We size it to your actual usage rather than selling you the biggest unit.
