Will solar work on your Telford roof?
The roofs around Telford are not all equally good for solar. Here is the honest picture by property type, before anyone climbs a ladder.
New builds at Lawley, Lightmoor and Priorslee
Modern roofs with simple shapes. Some already have a few builder-fitted panels that we can add to, usually with a battery.
New town estates
Homes from the 1970s and 80s at Sutton Hill, Hollinswood, Leegomery and Shawbirch, with uniform roofs and good access.
Homes in Wellington and Admaston
Semis and detached houses with good-sized roofs. Older streets near the centre have more chimneys to work around.
Homes that already have panels
With so much solar already in Telford, adding a battery is a common job. No scaffolding, and 0% VAT.
Ironbridge Gorge
The Gorge is a World Heritage Site and conservation area, where panels on a roof facing the road generally need permission. We check before we quote.
Flats and shared roofs
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.

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 Telford
A typical 4kW solar panel system on a south-facing roof in Telford 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 Telford, 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. Telford 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 Telford: 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. The exception is the Ironbridge Gorge, a World Heritage Site and conservation area, where panels on a roof facing the road generally need permission. Listed buildings always need consent. We check the rules for your street before we quote.
Usually, yes. Many homes at Lawley, Lightmoor and Priorslee were built with a small array to meet building regulations, often two to six panels 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 Telford it is run by a consortium of Telford and Wrekin, Shropshire and Herefordshire councils, so check with Telford and Wrekin Council for current availability.
Yes. A typical 4kW system on a south-facing roof in Telford 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.
