Solar panels for Derby homes
Derby's housing stock runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the city centre through to the new-build estates on the edge of the city and the older properties in the villages beyond. Each of them wants a different approach. Terraces tend to mean slate, a smaller roof area and scaffolding off a shared street, so the design has to earn every panel. New builds usually give us a large unshaded roof plane and modern wiring, which makes them some of the most straightforward installs we do. Out towards the rural fringe we more often see outbuildings, larger arrays and the occasional three-phase supply.
West of the city, towards the Peak District boundary, there is more to think about. Conservation areas and the national park bring extra planning considerations, and panels on a front elevation can need permission where the same panels elsewhere would not. We check this before we design anything. On the grid side, Derby sits in the National Grid Electricity Distribution region, formerly Western Power Distribution, and we handle the connection paperwork for your system as part of the job.
Why Derby homeowners choose P&C
Lower bills from day one
Every system is designed around your roof and your actual electricity use, so the generation lands where your demand is rather than on a generic estimate.
Energy independence
Add battery storage and the power you generate during the day is there in the evening, which is when the grid is at its most expensive.
10 year workmanship warranty
Our own engineers do the work and we stand behind it for ten years. Panels carry their own manufacturer warranty on top of that.
