Can You Fit Solar Panels to an Older House?
Yes — most homes in Kingswood, even older ones from the 1930s or 50s, are excellent candidates for solar. Our team frequently installs panels on tiled or slate roofs, and we can recommend non-penetrating systems if needed.
Solar + Battery = Big Savings for Kingswood Homeowners
Adding a battery to your solar system allows you to store energy during the day and use it in the evening — which is when most families use the most electricity. With energy prices still high, it’s a smart long-term investment.
- Charge from the sun, not the grid
- Back-up supply during outages
- Zero export systems available
- Great for EPC improvements and resale value
What About Old Electrics?
Many homes in Kingswood still have older consumer units or outdated wiring. Don’t worry — we handle this every week. Before your solar installation, we’ll check your electrics are compliant. If needed, we can include a fuse board upgrade in your quote.
Do You Need Planning Permission?
Most homes won’t — solar panels fall under permitted development. If you live in a conservation area or have a flat roof, we’ll help guide you through options or planning if required.
How Long Does It Take?
- Site survey: Usually 1 hour
- Installation: 1–2 days for panels + 1 day for battery
- Grid sign-off + paperwork: We handle it all
