Joss W, Kent

I have been entirely happy with the efforts of all their staff, from the initial survey site visit through the telephone specification discussion and the liaison between the PV slab fitters and our roofers and finally fitting the Tesla battery and liaising with our electricians. I thoroughly recommend them to anyone.

Benefits of Installing Solar Panels

Installing solar in Esher offers many tangible advantages. Here are six key ones:

  • Lower Electricity Bills

    With clear local skies and a thriving commuter-town during daylight hours, your new solar system can generate a large share of your daytime electricity. That means less grid supply and lower costs.

  • Boosted Property Appeal

    Esher remains one of Surrey’s desirable commuter towns. Homes with premium solar installations from a trusted installer like TLGEC are increasingly attractive to buyers looking for energy-efficient housing.

  • Support for Local Green Ambitions

    The Elmbridge Borough Council (which covers Esher) declared a climate emergency and is working toward being carbon neutral as a borough by 2050 and a carbon-neutral organisation by 2030. Investing in solar aligns your home with those local goals.

  • Excellent Roof Suitability

    Many homes in Esher feature south or south-west facing roofs, plenty of roof area, and less overshadowing than in denser urban zones. These factors make solar panels especially effective.

  • Future-Proofing for EVs & Storage

    With growing electric vehicle use and charging infrastructure in the borough, adding battery storage or an EV charger alongside your solar system makes sense for Esher homeowners looking ahead.

  • Long-Term Confidence & Premium Equipment

    TLGEC uses only trusted brands (like SunPower, SolarEdge, Tesla) and provides full warranties and monitoring. With 300+ five-star reviews and over a decade of experience, we are your assured partner for quality solar service.

Choosing Us

Choosing the right installer matters. At TLGEC, we handle everything from your free survey to final grid connection — specifically for Esher homes. We check roof orientation, shading from mature trees (common in Esher gardens), roof condition, and your energy profile. We then present a clear design, cost estimate and timeline. Once agreed, our NICEIC- and MCS-certified team installs your system, handles paperwork with the distribution network operator and commissions your system. We continue to support you post-installation with monitoring and service options. Get your free solar quote in Esher today.

Why Esher Is Great for Solar Panels

Esher benefits from good solar generation potential thanks to elevated sunshine hours and rooftops largely free from deep shadowing. Its position in the Thames valley means lower risk of obstruction, and many homes remain unshaded by high-rise buildings. Plus, local policy via Elmbridge Borough Council strongly supports renewable and low-carbon measures — making now a smart time to act.

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.

Can I install solar panels if I live in a conservation area in Esher?

Yes — many neighbourhoods in Esher fall within conservation areas. We’ll review your specific location during the survey, advise on heritage constraints and, if required, help with planning permission or visual assurances.

How much sunshine can my Esher roof expect to capture?

While exact hours vary, Esher enjoys many clear-sunshine days in summer with UV exposure and bright daylight — giving you strong generation potential for much of the year.

Will I need planning permission for rooftop solar in Esher?

Most domestic rooftop solar systems qualify as permitted development. However if your property is listed or in a conservation area you may need additional consents. We’ll check your local context for you.

What if trees in my garden cast shade onto the roof?

Shading can reduce output, so during our site survey at your Esher home we assess tree positions, likely future growth and roof orientation to optimize panel placement or suggest trimming where feasible.

Can I add a battery storage system later?

Absolutely. We design your initial solar system so it’s ready for battery storage or EV charging later without major disruption. Many Esher homeowners take this route as their energy needs evolve.

Why should I choose TLGEC instead of a large national company?

As a local specialist with deep understanding of Surrey roof-types, planning policies and installer-standards, we offer tailored service, ongoing support and local accountability — not just a remote “install and leave” model.

How long does the process take from quote to installation in Esher?

After your free survey, you’ll receive a design and quote fast. Once approved, typical domestic installation takes a few days, and commissioned connection is often within 4-8 weeks depending on grid-connection timing and roof access.
