Coventry has homes of every age, from older terraces to the estates built after the war. We design around your roof in particular, so the quote fits your home.
The most common home: a terrace
Terraced houses are the most common home in Coventry: in the 2021 Census, 40% of the city's households lived in one, well above the 23% for England, and 30% lived in a semi. A terrace roof is smaller, but it can still take a worthwhile system, and your quote shows what fits.
What we install in Coventry
Costs, savings and help with the price in Coventry
Warm Homes: Local Grant
When we checked in October 2026, Coventry City Council was working with E.ON and Act on Energy on a Warm Homes: Local Grant for eligible homeowners and private renters in Hillfields, Upper Stoke and Lower Stoke, with solar panels among the possible improvements. The council says eligible households won't have to pay anything.
Where it applied when we checked

- Upper Stoke
- Lower Stoke

Solar panel installation in Coventry: how it works
We're about 67 miles away in Retford. Being further from our office doesn't change how we work. We start with a free consultation, by phone or at your home in Coventry, then send a written quote with the full price. If you go ahead, an independent technical surveyor checks the details, then most homes are fitted in a day, and we notify the network operator and send your handover pack afterwards.
What happens on installation day, step by step.

- Panel performance
- A 30-year guarantee that the panels keep producing a minimum level of power

Planning permission in Coventry
Coventry City Council
Most houses in Coventry don't need planning permission for roof panels. The exceptions are listed buildings and Coventry's 19 conservation areas, which include Earlsdon, Kenilworth Road, Spon Street, Chapelfields, Allesley Village and Hawkesbury Junction. Coventry City Council handles planning, and we check your address before we quote.
Conservation areas the council names
- Earlsdon
- Kenilworth Road
- Spon Street
- Chapelfields
- Allesley Village
- Hawkesbury Junction
The local electricity network
National Grid Electricity Distribution runs the local electricity network. Most home systems only need notifying after they're switched on; bigger ones need approval first. We handle both.
The national rules
The national rules changed on 27 August 2026: planning permission for solar panels has the current limits.
