Services
Residential Solar Installation
We design and install custom solar PV systems for homes of all types, from terraced houses to period properties. Using all-black panels and discreet mounting systems, our installations maximise energy generation while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Every project includes free design consultation, performance estimates, and MCS certification for export payments.
Commercial Solar PV
Tailored solar solutions for industrial and commercial properties, including factories, warehouses, and community buildings. Systems range from 5kWp to 1000kWp with smart inverters and monitoring. Eligible for 100% capital allowances, our installations deliver 3-5 year payback periods for high-energy users through direct grid savings and export tariffs.
Battery Storage Systems
Enhance your solar system with lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery storage from leading manufacturers. These systems store excess solar generation for nighttime use, reducing grid dependency. Compatible with smart tariffs, they enable time-shifting of energy use to cut costs by up to one-third compared to standard rates.
Roof-Integrated Panels
Specialist installation using Solfit and Viridian Solar panels that replace roof tiles for seamless integration. Ideal for new builds and re-roofing projects, these systems maintain architectural integrity while generating renewable energy. Constructed with non-combustible materials for enhanced safety and longevity.
Technical Surveys
Comprehensive site evaluations using 3D modelling and shading analysis to optimise system design. Our MCS-certified surveyors assess roof structure, electrical capacity, and energy consumption patterns. Delivered within 2-3 days, each survey includes three design options with performance projections and cost breakdowns.

Leeds Solar recently installed a nine solar panel system for us, as part of a major refurbishment project. The work was done quickly and efficiently and the system was explained to us clearly. All wiring is neat and unobtrusive. We are very pleased with the final result.

Pretty much faultless. Leeds Solar were 1 of 4 companies I made enquires about with regards to Solar installation and they came out on top by far. Quick to communicate and excellent product knowledge. Panels now installed and all working well! Would highly recommend.

Leeds Solar went above and beyond on this one! Great company, I had a leaking roof with the problem area under the panels. I struggled to find a company that would take on both the removal of the solar panels and repair the roof. Leeds solar dont normally do this either BUT they went out of their way to find a workable and cost effective solution. The guys completed the work to an efficient and high standard and were very pleasant throughout. Iv already got them quoting for further work.

Had a 4kw system installed in December. Very happy, initial process of options and decision on system was great, they were happy to answer questions as I worked out what I wanted. Installation was quick and clean and the system worked and has had no problems since it was installed nearly 4 months ago. System has peaked at just over 4kw production even under the winter sun so I'm looking forward to summer

Absolutely superb, very happy. From initial discussions through to fitting the panels and connecting them up, the service was first class. They worked around a very annoying, very unprofessional set of scaffolders and never grumbled, and the care and attention they took were amazing, especially since they were dealing with an older property where extra care needed to be taken. I couldn't recommend these guys more.
