Why York is well suited to solar panels
York and the surrounding North Yorkshire countryside benefit from strong levels of annual daylight, making solar a sound investment for homeowners and businesses alike. The Yorkshire region benefits from weather patterns created by the Pennines, which can reduce cloud cover and boost sunshine hours compared to other parts of northern England.
York's mix of period properties, modern estates and rural homes across villages like Bishopthorpe, Haxby and the Poppletons offer a range of roof types well suited to solar installation. Many of the larger detached properties on the outskirts of the city and in surrounding villages have ideal south-facing roof space with minimal shading.
Properties within the York conservation area or listed buildings may need additional planning considerations. We check all of this during the initial survey and handle any applications on your behalf.
- Fully tailored system design for your property
- Bird-protection meshing included as standard
- Smart Export Guarantee: get paid for unused energy
- Optional battery storage to maximise self-consumption
- Workmanship warranty + insurance-backed guarantee
Commercial solar for York businesses
York's thriving business community, from the independent retailers in the city centre to the commercial parks at Monks Cross and Clifton Moor, can benefit significantly from commercial solar. A well-designed system can offset a large portion of your electricity costs while improving your environmental credentials and ESG score.
We also serve businesses across the wider York area including industrial units in Elvington, commercial premises in Stamford Bridge, and agricultural buildings throughout the surrounding countryside.
- Businesses of all sizes, offices to industrial units
- Finance options available with no large upfront cost
- Planning applications handled on your behalf

Trusted by homeowners across
Yorkshire
I recently had solar panels installed at my property, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was seamless. The installation team was professional, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable.
Liam provided an excellent service from start to finish. Very knowledgeable, took cost into consideration, explaining all options open to us. Turned up on time and left no mess.
Liam was very thoughtful and considerate in keeping us aware of what was happening throughout. A very nice, customer-orientated professional. Highly recommended.
