Nestled in the valley of the River Wey, Godalming is a historic market town of about 22,000 people in south-west Surrey, just 4 miles from Guildford and around 30 miles from London.

Surrounded by lush green belts and the Surrey Hills National Landscape, the town combines classic English charm (like its water meadows at the Lammas Lands) with excellent commuter links — the A3 runs nearby, and trains go regularly to London Waterloo.

Godalming lies within Surrey County, which has committed to ambitious climate goals: the council aims for 15 % of its county’s energy to come from solar PV by 2032.

Plus, Surrey County Council runs a Solar Together Surrey scheme to help residents access high-quality solar + battery installs at competitive rates.

I thoroughly recommend them to anyone.

The Benefits of Solar Panels in Godalming

Here’s why solar is a smart choice for Godalming homeowners:

  • Strong Local Alignment with Net-Zero Goals

    By installing solar, you’re aligning with Surrey’s climate ambition — supporting the county’s drive to reach 15 % solar generation by 2032.

  • Excellent Solar Resource

    Godalming enjoys a healthy amount of sunshine — around 2,100+ hours annually, by some estimates. That makes solar a reliable long-term investment.

  • Reduced Electricity Bills

    When you generate your own power, you lower your dependence on the grid. Over time, your solar system can save you money — especially with rising energy costs.

  • Energy Independence & Resilience

    Add a battery system, and you can store surplus power. This gives you backup during outages, or simply lets you make the most of your solar generation.

  • Improved Home Value

    Homes with solar often attract higher value. In a desirable town like Godalming — with its heritage, greenery, and commuter connectivity — solar is a great upgrade.

  • A Greener Legacy

    Installing solar is a visible way to reduce your household’s carbon footprint, contributing to Surrey’s long-term sustainability and helping protect the Surrey Hills landscape for future generations.

Choosing the Right Solar Installer for Godalming

  • Look for MCS certification and experience with local regulations (roofing, planning).
  • Ask about warranty: panel, inverter, and workmanship.
  • Ensure they provide a site survey — Godalming’s mix of traditional and modern roofs needs careful assessment.
  • Choose a company that offers battery storage if you want energy resilience.
  • Consider installers who coordinate with local solar schemes (like Solar Together Surrey), to benefit from bulk-buy savings.

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 panels be effective on a traditional Surrey house?

Yes — even in historic homes, well-designed solar systems (with good panel placement and the right inverter) can work very well. We assess each roof to maximise performance.

Do I need planning permission for solar in Godalming?

Most installations on homes are permitted development, but if you live in a listed building or conservation area, our surveyor will check and guide you.

Can I join a group-buy to reduce costs?

Yes — Solar Together Surrey is open to Surrey residents and gives access to vetted installers, solar + battery, and cost savings.

What happens when I generate more electricity than I use?

If your system produces excess, you can either export to the grid or store it with a battery for later — we’ll design a system based on how you use power.

How long until I recoup my solar investment?

It depends on factors like system size, your electricity use, and energy prices — but many of our Surrey customers see a payback in 6–10 years, followed by decades of low-cost energy.

Will solar panels change the look of my Godalming home?

We aim for a balance: using low-profile panels and discreet mounting, especially on heritage homes, to maintain visual appeal while providing maximum efficiency.

What maintenance do solar panels need in Godalming?

Very little — just occasional cleaning (rain helps) and a periodic check on the inverter. We can also set up monitoring so you can track performance and alerts.
