Solar Panels & Battery Storage in Gateshead

Low Fell and Whickham are two of Gateshead's more affluent, established suburbs, known for larger detached and semi-detached homes with generous roof space and, in Whickham's case, views out over the Derwent Valley. That combination of roof area and owner-occupier households looking to cut long-term running costs makes both areas well suited to solar. A solar PV system converts sunlight into electricity you can use in the home as it's generated, and adding battery storage lets you store the surplus for the evening rather than exporting it for a fraction of what it's worth.

We survey the roof first, checking orientation, pitch and any shading from mature trees common on the larger Low Fell and Whickham plots, before recommending a system sized to how the household actually uses electricity. As a NAPIT registered, City & Guilds qualified firm working to the 18th Edition, we handle the full installation, wiring the system into the consumer unit correctly and setting up any battery storage so it charges and discharges automatically. Everything is tested, certified and notified to the district network operator and Building Control as required. You get a free fixed written quote after the survey, one price agreed up front, so the full cost is clear before any panel goes on the roof.
