Wyre Forest is still behind the rest of England on solar.
There are around 57 solar installations for every 1,000 homes in Wyre Forest. Across England the figure is 65. Wyre Forest is still below the England average for solar. Around Bewdley many homes are rural and off the gas grid, where making your own electricity replaces some of the most expensive energy you buy.
11.1% of households in Wyre Forest are in fuel poverty, against 9.9% across England. Every unit you make yourself is one you do not have to buy.

Will solar work on your Bewdley roof?
The roofs around Bewdley are not all equally good for solar. Here is the honest picture by property type, before anyone climbs a ladder.
Homes in Wribbenhall and the newer estates
Post-war and modern houses with plain roofs and good access. The simplest solar homes in the town.
Rural homes around Rock and Kinlet
Detached houses and bungalows with long, open roofs. Outbuildings can often take panels too.
Cottages and older homes
Smaller roofs, chimneys and tight lanes for scaffolding. Often workable with a compact system, and we check access first.
Homes close to the Wyre Forest
Tall trees can shade a roof for much of the day. We measure the shading properly before recommending anything.
Bewdley's Georgian centre
The riverside centre is a conservation area with many listed buildings. Panels facing the street can need permission, so we check what is allowed before we quote.
Listed buildings without consent
Listed homes always need consent for panels, and it is not always granted. We tell you where you stand before you spend anything.
Not sure which of these your home is? We’ll check your roof for free.

Your panels work hardest while you’re out.
The most valuable electricity your panels make is the electricity you don’t have to buy. Tap to see what a battery changes.
Most of your power is made in the middle of the day, when most people are at work. Without somewhere to store it, the spare goes to the grid, often for just a few pence.
Typical figures. Your own split depends on your system size, battery size and when you’re home. We model it for your house at the survey.
Honest figures, and the roofs we turn down.
You won’t find a big savings number on this page. Your saving depends on your bills, your roof and your habits, so we work it out for your house and give you the cautious figure in writing.
- North facing only, with no east, west or south roof to use.
- Heavily shaded by trees, chimneys or taller neighbours for most of the day.
- A roof that needs replacing soon. Re-roof first, then fit panels once.
- Structurally unsuitable, where the roof can’t safely take the load.
- Flats without freeholder consent. It is not your roof to fit on.

How much solar panels generate in Bewdley
A typical 4kW solar panel system on a south-facing roof in Bewdley generates around 3,900 kWh of electricity a year. For comparison, Ofgem puts a typical home’s electricity use at about 2,700 kWh a year.
That does not mean no bills. Most of that power is made in the daytime and in summer, so what you save depends on how much of it you use yourself. That is the part we work out for your house at the survey.
Source: European Commission PVGIS solar model for Bewdley, rounded to the nearest 50 kWh. Assumes a 4kW system facing south at a 35 degree pitch, 14% system losses and no shading. East and west roofs generate less. Your own roof is modelled individually.
0% VAT ends 31 March 2027. Bewdley surveys booking now.
After that, VAT on solar and batteries is expected to rise to 5%. Surveys and installs take a few weeks, so the sooner we see your roof, the safer your 0% is.

Solar panels Bewdley: your questions answered
Often not, but Bewdley needs care. Roof-mounted panels on a house are normally permitted development. Bewdley's Georgian centre is a conservation area with many listed buildings, where panels on a roof facing the street can need permission and listed homes always need consent. We check what is permitted for your street before we quote.
Sometimes. In a conservation area, panels on a roof slope that does not face the street are often still allowed, while those facing the road may need planning permission. Listed buildings need consent whatever the direction. We check the position for your address before we quote, and suggest a rear roof or outbuilding where that is the better route.
There is no general solar grant for homeowners. Solar and batteries carry 0% VAT until 31 March 2027. The government's Warm Homes Loan Scheme offers subsidised loans for solar and batteries fitted by an MCS certified installer. The Warm Homes: Local Grant offers free upgrades to lower-income homes, and for Bewdley it is run by Wyre Forest District Council from its own allocation, so check with the council for current availability.
Yes. A typical 4kW system on a south-facing roof in Bewdley generates around 3,900 kWh a year, according to the European Commission PVGIS solar model. Panels generate from daylight, not just direct sunshine. Output is higher in summer and lower in winter, so we model your system across the whole year using your own roof direction, pitch and shading.
Not always. Panels alone usually let you use 30 to 40 percent of what they make, because most is generated while you are out. A battery typically takes that to 70 to 80 percent. We show you the arithmetic for your house so you can decide.
It depends on the size of your roof, how many panels fit, and whether you add a battery. As a guide, a typical 4kW system starts from £6,500, or from £9,500 with a battery. You get a fixed written price after a free roof survey, with scaffolding included and 0% VAT until 31 March 2027.
