Solar, Storage & Heat Pumps Tailored to You

Every tailored energy solution starts with a proper survey of your roof, your usage, and your budget — solar, battery, and heat pump work is planned together as one system, not three separate quotes from three separate suppliers.

Testimonials

Real Results From Real Homeowners

We don't just install systems, we build relationships with the homeowners and businesses we work with. Here's what they have to say.

4.9 out of 5 based on verified customer reviews

From the first survey to the final sign-off, the same two people handled everything. No call centre, no chasing for updates. Our bills have dropped noticeably since the install.

James Mitchell

Solar + Battery · Solihull

They actually assessed our heat loss before recommending a heat pump size, instead of just quoting off our floor area like the other two companies we spoke to. Install was done in three days.

Rachel Patel

Air Source Heat Pump · Birmingham

The quote we got was the price we paid, no hidden extras added on installation day like we'd heard about from friends who used other installers. Very straightforward process.

David O'Connor

Full System · Coventry

Battery storage has made the biggest difference to our evening bills. The team sized it around our actual usage rather than pushing the biggest unit they sell.

Sarah Hughes

Solar + Battery · Warwick

We got the BUS grant applied for as part of our heat pump install, which Solar Xtra handled directly. One less thing for us to sort out ourselves.

Tom Walsh

Air Source Heat Pump · Solihull

Commercial install for our warehouse roof went smoothly from survey to certification. Communication throughout was better than any contractor we've used before.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about cost, timelines, and what to expect from a solar, battery, or heat pump installation.

How much does solar panel installation cost in the UK?

Cost depends on system size, roof type, and whether battery storage or an air source heat pump is included, so an accurate figure comes from a site survey rather than a fixed online price.

Is solar panel installation worth it in the UK?

For most homes with reasonable roof orientation and daytime electricity use, solar panels reduce ongoing energy bills, though the exact payback period depends on system size and usage pattern.

How long does solar panel installation take?

On-site installation is typically completed in 1–4 days, though the full process including survey, design, and DNO approval usually spans several weeks from enquiry to switch-on.

Do I need planning permission for solar panels in the UK?

Most UK homes can install solar panels under permitted development rights without planning permission, though listed buildings and conservation areas may need separate consent.

What is the payback period for solar panels in the UK?

Payback period varies by system size, household usage, and whether battery storage is included, so it's calculated per property rather than as a fixed UK-wide figure.

How does battery storage work with solar panels?

A battery storage system stores surplus solar electricity generated during the day so it can be used in the evening, reducing how much electricity you buy back at peak times.

What is the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?

The BUS grant is a UK government grant that reduces the upfront cost of installing an air source heat pump by £7,500, applied for as part of the installation.

Are air source heat pumps worth it in the UK?

ASHPs typically run more efficiently than gas or oil boilers over time in well-insulated homes, though suitability depends on your property's heat loss assessed at survey stage.

How much can I save with solar panels in the UK?

Savings depend on system size, roof orientation, and household electricity use, so an accurate estimate is calculated per property rather than quoted generically.

Who is a good solar installer near me?

Choose an experienced solar installer and check that they meet recognised UK industry standards for quality and safety. This can provide greater confidence in the workmanship, system design, and installation of your renewable energy system.

What warranty do solar panel installers offer?

Reputable installers provide both a workmanship warranty covering the installation and separate manufacturer warranties on the panels, battery, and inverter.

Can I get solar panels installed without upfront cost?

Some installers, including Solar Xtra, offer PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) and finance options alongside standard purchase, reducing or removing upfront cost depending on eligibility.
