Solar Panel Installers in Devon
With electricity prices continuing to rise, solar panels are one of the smartest investments a Devon homeowner or business can make. A well-designed solar PV system can generate 3,500–4,500 kWh per year from a typical 4kW installation — enough to cover 50–70% of an average household's electricity consumption.
As qualified electricians with extensive experience in renewable energy installations, we handle everything from the initial roof survey and system design through to electrical integration, consumer unit upgrades, and DNO notification. We work with leading panel manufacturers including JA Solar, Trina Solar, and Canadian Solar to deliver reliable, high-efficiency systems.
Whether you're looking to reduce your energy bills, lower your carbon footprint, or future-proof your property with battery storage and EV charging integration, our team will design a system tailored to your roof, your budget, and your energy goals.

Our Solar Panel Services
Domestic Solar PV
3kW–10kW rooftop systems for homes. We assess your roof orientation, shading, and energy usage to design the optimal system. Includes scaffolding, panel mounting, inverter installation, and connection to your consumer unit.
Commercial Solar PV
10kW–50kW+ systems for warehouses, offices, farms, and retail premises. Commercial solar offers faster payback due to daytime usage patterns aligning with generation. G99 applications handled.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do solar panels cost to install in Devon?
A typical 4kW domestic solar panel system costs between £5,000 and £8,000 installed. Larger 6–10kW systems for bigger properties range from £8,000 to £14,000. We provide free surveys and quotes tailored to your roof size, orientation, and energy usage.
Do solar panels work in Devon's climate?
Absolutely. Devon receives excellent levels of solar irradiance — comparable to much of southern England. Solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not direct sunshine, so they produce energy even on overcast days. South-facing roofs in Devon typically generate 3,500–4,500 kWh per year from a 4kW system.
How long do solar panels take to pay for themselves?
With current electricity prices, most Devon homeowners see a payback period of 6–8 years. After that, you're generating free electricity for 20+ years. Adding battery storage can further reduce your payback time by storing excess generation for evening use.
Do I need planning permission for solar panels?
Most domestic solar panel installations fall under Permitted Development and don't require planning permission. However, listed buildings, conservation areas, and some flat-roof installations may need approval. We advise on this during your free survey.
Can I add battery storage to solar panels?
Yes — we install Tesla Powerwall, GivEnergy, and Sunsynk battery systems alongside solar panels. Battery storage lets you use your solar electricity in the evening and can provide backup power during outages. See our dedicated solar battery page for more details.
Are you MCS certified for solar installations?
We're qualified electricians who handle all electrical aspects of solar installations. For MCS certification (required for Smart Export Guarantee payments), we partner with MCS-certified solar specialists while managing all the electrical infrastructure — consumer unit upgrades, inverter connections, and battery integration.
