I thoroughly recommend them to anyone.

The Benefits of Solar Panels in Dorking

Here are six key reasons why solar is a smart choice for Dorking households:

  • Local Climate Leadership

    Your solar system supports Mole Valley’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2030 and aligns with Surrey’s broader drive for renewable energy.

  • Strong Solar Potential

    While the UK may not feel relentlessly sunny, modern solar systems work well in typical Surrey conditions — capturing both direct and diffuse light, even on overcast days.

  • Lower Energy Costs

    By generating your own electricity, you reduce reliance on the grid and lower your energy bills — a benefit that compounds over time.

  • Energy Resilience

    Pairing solar with a home battery lets you store excess power. That means backup when you need it and more control over your usage.

  • Boosted Home Value

    Eco-upgrades like solar can increase your home’s market appeal — especially in a desirable, green area like Dorking.

  • Support for Community & Nature

    Installing solar helps reduce the area’s carbon footprint and supports local green goals — preserving the character and environment of the Surrey Hills.

Choosing the Right Solar Installer for Dorking

  • Confirm the installer is MCS and NICEIC certified — for safety and quality.
  • Ask for a full roof survey — Dorking homes often have pitched or heritage roofs that need careful planning.
  • Request warranty details — on panels, inverters, and workmanship.
  • Decide whether you want battery storage — for greater flexibility and resilience.
  • Pick a company familiar with local schemes like Solar Together Surrey, enabling you to access vetted, cost-effective offers.

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.

Will solar work on my Dorking home?

Yes — whether yours is a historic townhouse, a countryside-style house, or a modern home, we can design a system tailored to your roof’s layout, orientation, and shading.

Do I need planning permission in Dorking?

Most domestic solar installs are covered by permitted development. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, we’ll carry out a full survey and guide you through planning.

Can I take part in a solar-buying scheme?

Absolutely. Surrey’s “Solar Together” scheme helps residents access high-quality solar and battery installers at group-buy prices.

What happens to surplus electricity?

You can export it to the grid or store it in a battery for later use — we’ll design your system based on your usage and goals.

How long will it take to recoup the cost of installation?

That depends on your system size, how much electricity you use, and how much power you generate. Many homeowners see payback within 6–10 years, with ongoing savings thereafter.

Will solar panels affect my home’s appearance?

We aim to balance performance and aesthetics: using low-profile panels, discreet mounting, and thoughtful placement to preserve your home’s character.

What maintenance is needed?

Very little. Panels usually just need occasional cleaning (rain helps), and your inverter should be checked periodically. We also offer monitoring so you can keep track of system performance.
