Cannock Chase is still behind the rest of England on solar.
There are around 57 solar installations for every 1,000 homes in Cannock Chase. Across England the figure is 65. Cannock Chase is still below the England average for solar. The district has a lot of new-build housing with plain modern roofs, which is about as easy as solar gets.
10.4% of households in Cannock Chase 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 Cannock roof?
The roofs around Cannock are not all equally good for solar. Here is the honest picture by property type, before anyone climbs a ladder.
New-build estates
Modern homes in Heath Hayes, Norton Canes and Hednesford with simple roofs. Some already have a few builder-fitted panels we can add to.
Semis and detached homes
Post-war houses in Pye Green, Huntington and Great Wyrley with good-sized roofs and easy access.
Ex-mining terraces in Hednesford and Chadsmoor
Narrower roofs with chimneys and rear extensions. A smaller system often still works, and we measure first.
Bungalows
Low, wide roofs that are quick to scaffold and often well placed for the sun.
Homes on the edge of Cannock Chase
The Chase is a protected National Landscape, where panels on a roof facing the road can need permission. We check before we quote.
Roofs shaded by the forest
Close to the Chase, tall trees can shade a roof for much of the day. We tell you at the survey if yours will not pay back.
Not sure which of these your home is? We’ll check your roof for free.

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.

- 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 Cannock
A typical 4kW solar panel system on a south-facing roof in Cannock generates around 3,850 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 Cannock, 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. Cannock 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 Cannock: your questions answered
Usually not. Roof-mounted solar panels on a house are normally permitted development, as long as they sit close to the roof and no higher than the ridge. Listed buildings need consent, and Cannock Chase is a protected National Landscape where panels on a roof facing the road can need permission. We check the rules for your street before we quote.
Usually, yes. Many newer homes in Heath Hayes, Norton Canes and Hednesford were built with a small array and no battery. We can add panels where the roof allows and fit a battery, after checking your existing inverter and your developer warranty terms.
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 Cannock it is run as Staffordshire Warmer Homes, which has been open since 24 November 2025 for homes on or off the gas grid.
Yes. A typical 4kW system on a south-facing roof in Cannock generates around 3,850 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.
