Deeside is already home to Shotwick Solar Park, the largest solar power installation in the UK at 72.2MW, generating enough clean renewable electricity to power over 18,000 homes every year. Switching to solar on a Deeside property works on the same principle - converting daylight into free electricity, cutting energy costs, and reducing your dependence on the grid.

We are a Which? Trusted Trader and an Octopus Energy Partner. Being based in Shotton means we know the local housing stock, roof types, and planning requirements better than any renewable installer travelling in from further afield. We do not use subcontractors. You speak directly to the engineers who design and install your system, every step of the way.

How Much Do Solar Panel and Solar PV Systems Cost in Deeside?

A domestic solar panel system in Deeside starts from £4,320 fully installed, with larger systems and solar-plus-battery packages from £8,500. Every quote is tailored to your property - costs vary depending on the number of solar panels installed, roof size, inverter choice, and whether battery storage is included.

The guide prices below are based on our recent design and installation work across Deeside and Flintshire, rather than national averages.

System Size Number of Panels Typical Annual Output Guide Price (Installed)
2-3kW 5-7 panels 2,000-2,600kWh From £4,320
4kW 8-10 panels Around 3,400kWh From £5,500
5.7kW + 9kWh battery 12 x Aiko Gen3 475W Around 4,800kWh From £8,500
6-8kW 13-17 panels 5,100-6,800kWh From £8,000

Deeside has a varied mix of properties, from terraced housing in Shotton and Connah's Quay to larger detached homes in Hawarden and Ewloe. Output figures assume a south-facing roof at 30-35 degrees. East-west roofs suit solar PV and batteries particularly well, as generation is spread more evenly across the day, improving cost savings significantly.

What Solar PV Systems, Solar and Battery, and Renewable Solutions Do We Install?

Our solar construction services cover the full range of renewable solutions for homes and businesses across Deeside. We provide high-quality solar PV installations using premium solar panels from Aiko, JA Solar, and Canadian Solar, paired with battery storage solutions from GivEnergy, Tesla, Sigenergy, Victron, and Q Cells.

High-Quality Solar PV Installations for Homes and Businesses

We install solar PV systems for homes and businesses across Deeside and North Wales. Our most popular package is 12 x Aiko Gen3 475W panels with a Sigenergy 9kWh battery and hybrid inverter, from £8,500 fully installed. All panels carry 25-30 year performance warranties, with batteries and inverters covered for 10-12 years as standard.

Solar and Battery Storage - Maximise Your Solar Power

Pairing solar and battery storage maximises the renewable energy your property uses. Rather than exporting surplus solar power to the grid at a low rate, a battery stores it for use in the evening - cutting energy bills and reducing your reliance on grid electricity. Solar and battery together typically covers 70-80% of a home's electricity needs from clean, renewable solar power.

Solar and Heat Pump - Complete Renewable Energy Solutions

Combining solar and heat pump systems is the most effective way to move a home or business in Deeside off gas entirely. Install solar alongside an air source heat pump and power your home or business with 100% renewable energy - cutting both heating and electricity costs while dramatically reducing your carbon footprint.

Services include design, installation, commissioning, and aftercare. We do not install ground source heat pumps or solar thermal systems. Our expertise is solar PV, battery storage solutions, renewable air source heat pump systems, and electric vehicle charging - a complete range of renewable solutions for homes and businesses across Wales and the North West.

Do Solar Panels Generate Enough Renewable Energy in North Wales and Deeside?

Yes. Solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not direct sunshine. Deeside receives between 1,100 and 1,300 hours of sunshine annually, and a typical solar PV system in this part of Wales produces around 85-90% of what the same system generates in the south of England - more than enough solar power to deliver significant savings on energy bills.

Modern high-quality solar panels operate at 20-22% efficiency and continue generating electricity on overcast days. A 4kW installation in Deeside produces roughly 3,400kWh per year - covering 40-50% of a typical household's energy needs from a clean, renewable energy source. Solar PV and batteries together push that to 70-80%, significantly reducing your reliance on the grid.

The mild temperatures along the Dee Estuary also help. PV solar panels lose efficiency when they overheat, so the cooler North Wales climate means panels here often perform closer to their rated output. Combining solar PV with a renewable air source heat pump further reduces your carbon footprint and your home's carbon emissions, cutting both electricity and heating costs for a more sustainable future.

Deeside solar fact: Shotwick Solar Park - the UK's largest solar power installation at 72.2MW - sits right here in Deeside, generating renewable electricity for over 18,000 homes. That is the solar potential of North Wales demonstrated at scale.

Can I Sell Excess Solar Power Back to the Grid?

Yes. Through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), energy suppliers pay you for every unit of renewable electricity your solar PV systems export back to the national grid. Rates typically range from 4p to 15p per kWh. Your installation must be carried out by MCS-certified solar PV installers - which we are - and your property needs a smart meter to qualify.

Adding a battery storage system gives you far greater control over your solar power. Rather than exporting surplus electricity at a low rate, you store it for use in the evening - reducing your reliance on the grid and cutting energy costs. Octopus Flux and similar tariffs pay higher export rates at peak times, making solar and battery storage an even stronger financial case for Deeside households and businesses.

We handle all MCS registration and paperwork as part of every installation, so you can access SEG payments from day one without any additional admin.

Do Solar Panels Need Planning Permission in Deeside?

Most domestic solar panel installations in Deeside fall under permitted development rights and do not require planning permission from Flintshire County Council, provided the panels do not protrude more than 200mm from the roof surface or extend above the highest point of the roof, excluding the chimney.

Planning permission may be required if:

  • The property is listed or within a designated conservation area
  • The panels are ground-mounted and the array covers more than 9 square metres
  • The installation is on a flat roof and rises more than 1 metre above the roof surface

For commercial solar installations - including premises on Deeside Industrial Park - requirements vary with building type and system scale. We advise on this as part of the survey process and can handle any planning application required.

What Happens During Solar Panel Installation in Deeside? Every Step of the Way

A typical domestic solar PV installation in Deeside takes 1 day. We manage everything every step of the way - from initial survey and system design through to installation, commissioning, and aftercare. Our focus on personal service means you deal with the same local team throughout, not a call centre or third-party subcontractor.
1

Survey and Solar Panel System Design

We visit your property - or carry out a desktop assessment using satellite imagery - to check roof orientation, pitch, shading, and structural suitability. We design a solar panel system tailored to your energy needs, available roof space, and budget. Every system is individually specified - no off-the-shelf packages.

2

Install Solar Panels - Installation Day

Our engineers fit the mounting rails, solar panels, inverter, and battery storage where included. All electrical work is completed to BS 7671 wiring regulations by our qualified electricians. We work neatly and tidy up fully before leaving.

3

Commissioning and Handover

We test and commission the full system, set up the monitoring app on your device, and issue all electrical certificates. The solar PV installation - and battery storage where included - is registered with MCS on the same day.

Aftercare - Our Team of Experts Is Here for You

Solar panels need very little maintenance - usually just an occasional visual check and clean once a year is enough. Because we are based locally in Shotton, our team of experts can respond quickly to any queries or energy needs that arise.

Can I Add Battery Storage to My Existing Solar PV System?

Yes. We regularly retrofit battery storage to existing solar PV systems across Deeside. Adding a solar battery typically increases self-consumption from around 40% to 70-80%, reducing your reliance on grid electricity and cutting energy bills - with cost savings building year on year.

If your existing solar panels were installed more than five or six years ago, upgrading to a modern hybrid inverter at the same time allows the solar PV and batteries to work together through a single system. This improves efficiency and gives you clearer oversight of the renewable energy your home generates and uses.

Standalone battery storage solutions now also qualify for 0% VAT - the same eco-friendly incentive that applies to new solar PV installations - making retrofits more affordable than in previous years. We install battery storage from GivEnergy, Sigenergy, Victron, and Q Cells. Contact our Deeside team for a tailored price.

Are Solar Panels Worth It for Homes and Businesses in Wales?

With electricity at 27.44p/kWh under the Ofgem Q1 2026 price cap and 0% VAT on solar panel installation, most Deeside households see a payback period of 7-10 years. The solar panels installed on your roof then generate effectively free electricity for 20+ years - building long-term energy independence and reducing energy bills year after year.

There are 6 compelling reasons to invest in renewable solar power in Deeside right now:

01 0% VAT on domestic solar panel installation and battery storage solutions until at least March 2027 - a significant saving on upfront costs.
02 Smart Export Guarantee payments for renewable electricity exported to the national grid - earn income from your solar PV system from day one.
03 Reduced energy bills - a typical 4kW system can cut electricity costs by roughly £700-£900 per year, with solar and battery storage pushing those cost savings further.
04 Increased property value - buyers across Wales and the North West increasingly seek out homes with high-quality solar PV installations already in place.
05 Reduce your carbon footprint - a 4kW system offsets around 1.5 tonnes of CO2 per year. Pairing solar with a heat pump lets you reduce their carbon footprint to near zero, building a more sustainable future.
06 Solar and heat pump together deliver a fully renewable heating and electricity setup - power your home or business entirely from clean, renewable energy and gain energy independence from the grid.

Eco-friendly PV solar is one of the most practical steps a home or business in Deeside can take towards genuine energy independence, reduced carbon emissions, and lower electricity costs long term. Our services include high-quality solar PV installations, battery storage solutions, air source heat pump systems, and electric vehicle charging - a complete renewable energy solution that generates real cost savings and reduces your carbon footprint.
