01Solar in Dudley

Dudley borough has about half the solar of the rest of England.

There are around 36 solar installations for every 1,000 homes in Dudley borough. Across England the figure is 65. Dudley has little more than half the England rate of solar. Plug-in car ownership here rose 64% in a year, so more and more homes have a reason to make their own electricity.

11.3% of households in Dudley borough are in fuel poverty, against 9.9% across England. Every unit you make yourself is one you do not have to buy.

02Your roof

Will solar work on your Dudley roof?

The roofs around Dudley are not all equally good for solar. Here is the honest picture by property type, before anyone climbs a ladder.

Usually a good fit

Semis in Sedgley and Woodsetton

Interwar and post-war homes with good-sized roofs and at least one clear slope. The most straightforward solar homes in the borough.

Usually a good fit

Estate homes

Houses on the Priory estate and in Holly Hall with plain pitched roofs and good scaffold access.

Depends on the roof

Terraces in Netherton and the Gornals

Narrower roofs with chimneys and rear extensions. A smaller system often still works, and we measure first.

Depends on the roof

Homes on the ridge

Dudley is hilly, and a neighbour's house or the slope itself can shade a roof at either end of the day. We model it properly.

Check first

Conservation areas and listed buildings

Parts of Sedgley, the town centre near the Castle and Himley include conservation areas. We check your street before we quote.

Usually not

Flats and maisonettes

If you do not own the roof, panels need the freeholder and a shared scheme. We will tell you straight away.

Not sure which of these your home is? We’ll check your roof for free.

05Why a battery matters

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.

30 to 40%of the power your panels make gets used in your home

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.

06Straight talking

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.

6–9 yrs Typical payback. We quote the long end, because a promise you beat is better than one you miss.
  • 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 Dudley

A typical 4kW solar panel system on a south-facing roof in Dudley 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 Dudley, 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 deadline

0% VAT ends 31 March 2027. Dudley 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.

12Straight answers

Solar panels Dudley: 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 parts of Sedgley, the town centre near Dudley Castle and Himley include conservation areas where extra limits can apply. We check the rules for your street before we quote.

Yes. Plug-in car ownership in Dudley rose 64% in a year, and charging at home from your own roof is the cheapest way to run one. With solar, a battery and a smart charger, a good share of your driving can run on your own electricity. We fit all three.

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 Dudley it is funded through the West Midlands Combined Authority and run by Dudley Council. Eligibility depends on your income and where you live.

Yes. A typical 4kW system on a south-facing roof in Dudley 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.

All Dudley postcodes (DY1, DY2 and DY3), including Netherton, Holly Hall, Sedgley, Upper Gornal, Lower Gornal, Woodsetton, Priory, Quarry Bank, Dudley Wood, Pensnett and Himley. We also cover Brierley Hill, Stourbridge, Halesowen, West Bromwich and Wolverhampton.
