Solar panels and battery storage for Leeds homes
Leeds is about 41 miles north-west of our Retford office. We install solar panels and batteries across the city and its suburbs.
Leeds has a lot of back-to-back and through terraces with smaller roofs, alongside bigger semis and detached homes further out. Smaller roofs can still take a worthwhile system; your quote shows what fits.
The 2021 Census bears this out: 25.0% of Leeds households live in a terraced house and 37.5% in a semi, while only 15.5% live in a detached house, against 22.9% across England.

Planning permission in Leeds
80 conservation areas
Leeds City Council handles planning. Most houses don't need permission for rooftop solar panels, but Leeds has 80 conservation areas, and the council says some solar panels in them need planning permission. Listed buildings always need listed building consent, and we check your address before we quote.
Northern Powergrid
Northern Powergrid 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.
- Panel performance
- 30 yearsA 30-year guarantee that the panels keep producing a minimum level of power
- Panel product
- 25 yearsA 25-year warranty covering faults in the panels themselves

Spoke to about 5 companies all singing from the same hymn sheet. Landed with solar save. Seemed like the only ones that genuinely knew what they were talking about.
