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.

The Benefits of Solar Panels in Leatherhead

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

  • 1. Backing from County-Level Climate Strategy

    By installing solar, you’re playing your part in Surrey’s net-zero goals, supporting the county’s pledge to scale up renewable energy.

  • 2. Good Solar Potential

    Leatherhead receives roughly 2,145 sunshine hours annually, making solar generation a very viable, long-term investment.

  • 3. Lower Energy Bills

    When you generate your own electricity, your dependence on the grid drops — so your bills go down. Over time, that adds up.

  • 4. Energy Resilience

    Add a home battery system, and you can store excess solar power. That means backup during power cuts and flexibility to use your energy when you want it.

  • 5. Increased Property Value

    Eco-friendly upgrades like solar are increasingly attractive. In Leatherhead — with its mix of commuter appeal and countryside character — solar boosts both sustainability and property appeal.

  • 6. Contribution to Local Environment

    Your solar system helps lower carbon emissions and contributes to Surrey’s broader green vision, preserving the beauty of the Mole Valley for future generations.

Choosing the Right Solar Installer for Leatherhead

  • Confirm MCS & NICEIC certification — essential for quality and safety.
  • Ask for a detailed site survey — a good installer will check roof orientation, shading, and structure.
  • Request clear warranty information — for panels, inverters, and workmanship.
  • Decide whether you want battery storage — for greater control and resilience.
  • Choose a company that understands Surrey-wide solar schemes (e.g., the Solar Together programme) to maximise your value.

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 work on my Leatherhead home?

Yes — whether you have a pitched roof, a riverside property, or a modern extension, we can design a system optimized for your layout.

Do I need planning permission?

Most solar installations are classed as permitted development. But if your home is in a conservation area, listed, or has unusual roof lines, we’ll check and advise.

Is there a solar scheme in Surrey I can join?

Yes — Surrey County Council runs a “Solar Together” group-buy scheme to help residents install solar and batteries through vetted installers.

What if I generate more electricity than I use?

You can export excess power to the grid, or even better — store it with a battery to use later.

What is the typical payback period?

It depends on your system size and your energy usage, but many homeowners see a return in 6–10 years, with savings continuing for decades.

Will solar panels affect the look of my house?

We design with aesthetics in mind — using low-profile panels and discreet mounting to preserve your home’s character.

How much maintenance do solar panels need?

Very little. Occasionally, panels may need cleaning (rain often helps), and the inverter should be checked periodically. We also offer monitoring so you can track performance.
