Why Cobham is Great for Solar Panels?
Cobham and the surrounding Surrey area offer some of the best conditions for solar in the South East. Many local homes feature spacious, well-pitched roofs that are ideal for south or south-west facing solar arrays, helping to maximise energy capture throughout the year. With around 1,670 hours of sunshine annually, Cobham enjoys more sunlight than much of the UK — making it a strong location for solar generation and energy savings.
Homeowners here are also becoming increasingly focused on reducing carbon footprints and improving long-term property value, making solar a smart and sustainable investment. With local maintenance and installer teams like TLGEC based nearby, you’re never far from expert support or after-care. Plus, Surrey’s climate action targets align perfectly with solar adoption, meaning your installation not only benefits your home but also supports the community’s wider net-zero goals.

Solar Panel (PV) FAQs
To ensure you have all the information you require at your fingertips, we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions. If you still have a question then feel free to reach out and get in touch. Our team is extremely knowledgeable and here to help.
How much sunlight does my roof in Cobham get?
Surrey averages about 1,650-1,700 sunshine hours per year, so a well-positioned roof in Cobham is well-placed for solar. Modern PV panels work even when it’s not bright sunshine.
Does my property need planning permission for solar in Cobham?
In most cases no, solar PV is classed as permitted development. But if your building is listed or in a conservation area in Elmbridge you should check. TLGEC will advise you on this during your survey.
Will solar panels still generate electricity in cloudy or winter conditions?
Yes. Panels will produce less in low light, but they still generate power. With Clever installation and battery storage you’ll still see benefits all year round.
What kind of roof orientation is best?
South or south-west facing roofs with minimal shading give the best results. East or west orientations still work, just slightly different yield. We’ll analyse your Cobham roof’s shading and angle at the survey.
How long before I “break even” on a solar system?
This depends on your energy use, system size, and export tariff. In Surrey the relatively strong sunshine hours help shorten pay-back time compared to many UK regions. We’ll model this for your house.
Do I have to stay connected to the grid?
Yes. Unless you install a full off-grid system (rare for homes in Cobham). Your solar system will work alongside the grid, and you may export surplus power under the Smart Export Guarantee.
What maintenance will my solar system require in Cobham?
Very little. Panels are built for decades. We recommend visual checks and occasional cleaning if needed (e.g., moss, leaves). With TLGEC you’ll have monitoring and a service option if required.
