Solar Panels Guildford: Local Knowledge Matters
Did you know? Guildford's history stretches back to Saxon times, with the town growing up around a ford across the River Wey — the "gold ford" from which its name likely derives. Guildford Castle, with its striking Norman keep, was built shortly after the 1066 conquest, and the town's cobbled High Street still follows its medieval line up the hill past the Guildhall and its famous gilded clock.
Guildford is also a modern university town: the University of Surrey was founded on its Stag Hill campus in 1966 and today has more than 15,000 students, giving the town a strong research and tech sector alongside its historic core. Guildford Borough Council has committed to the county's climate emergency ambitions, targeting carbon neutrality by 2030, and with around 1,500 hours of sunshine a year, the borough is well suited to solar. Housing here ranges from timber-framed buildings on the High Street to Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas, Edwardian semis and extensive post-war and modern estates spreading out towards Merrow, Burpham and the surrounding villages — a mix our surveyors know well.

How Does PV Solar Work?
Sunlight Hits the Panels
Your solar panels capture daylight, even on cloudy days, and convert it straight into DC electricity.
Powers Your Home & More
An inverter turns that DC power into usable AC electricity, running your home, charging a battery, and topping up an EV.
Surplus Sent to the Grid
Any energy you don't use is exported safely to the grid under G98 approval or stays stored on-site if you've gone battery-first.
How Much You Could Save
A residential solar system generating 1kWp produces around 850–950kWh a year in the South East.
Adding battery storage means you use more of that energy yourself, instead of exporting it back to the grid.

Residential Solar FAQs
Everything you need to know before switching your home to solar.
What's the difference between the package tiers?
Bronze covers panels only. Silver and Gold add battery storage (FoxESS) so you can use stored energy in the evening. These are a starting point; a free site survey gives you an accurate, tailored proposal.
Will this actually cover my electricity usage, or just offset some of it?
A well-sized system can generate more than you use on a good day, with surplus exported via the Smart Export Guarantee for a payment back. On cloudier days you'll still generate, just less. Most homeowners see a significant reduction in their bills, and adding a battery closes more of that gap.
Is that price the full cost, or are there extras?
The price you receive following your site survey is the complete price. Scaffolding, bird protection, and installation are all included, with no hidden extras.
Will this affect my home insurance or mortgage?
Let your insurer know once installed; most add it to your policy at little or no extra cost. Some mortgage lenders like to be informed too, though it's rarely an issue. We provide the documentation you'll need for either.
Will it work on my roof type, angle, or shading?
Every roof is different. Our free site survey assesses suitability, orientation, and shading so we can size and position your system for the best performance.
Do I need planning permission?
In most cases, no. Solar installations fall under permitted development, with exceptions for listed buildings, conservation areas, and some flat roofs. We'll flag it during your survey if it applies.
What happens if something breaks, who do I call?
Us. Panels carry a 25-year manufacturer's warranty, inverters and battery storage a 10-year manufacturer's warranty, and our installation a 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Can I add a battery or EV charger later if I don't get one now?
Yes, it can be added later, though it's more cost-effective as part of a combined package from the start.
