Solar panels and battery storage for Stoke-on-Trent homes
Stoke-on-Trent is about 56 miles south-west of our Retford office. We install solar panels and batteries for homeowners across the six towns, and every quote is based on your roof and how your household uses electricity.
Whether your home is in Hanley, Burslem or any of the other towns, your quote shows how many panels fit and whether storing some of their output in a battery makes sense for you.
Stoke is a city of houses: in the 2021 Census, nearly 9 in 10 households lived in a house rather than a flat. Semis are the most common, at 46% of households, followed by terraces at 28%.
What we install in Stoke-on-Trent
Costs, savings and help with the price in Stoke-on-Trent
Stoke-on-Trent City Council runs a Warm Homes: Local Grant with the Midlands Net Zero Hub, and solar panels are one of the measures on offer for eligible homes.
When we checked in October 2026, the council had used its funding for April 2026 to March 2027 and wasn't progressing new applications, but you could still register interest for later rounds through Community Home Solutions.
The scheme runs until March 2028.

Most houses in Stoke-on-Trent don't need planning permission for roof panels. The exceptions are listed buildings and the city's 22 conservation areas, which since 2024 include Winton Square in Stoke and Albert Square in Fenton. Stoke-on-Trent City Council handles planning, and we check your address before we quote.
