Solar PV for Homes & Businesses

Generate your own electricity, reduce reliance on the grid, and explore battery storage for greater control over your energy use.

Trojan Eco Installs Ltd supports domestic and commercial solar PV enquiries with practical advice, property-led recommendations and a straightforward next-step process. Whether you are looking at rooftop solar for a home, rental property or commercial building, we help you understand what may be suitable and how the project can move forward. Solar panels generate electricity from daylight and still work on cloudy days, although performance is best on roofs with good solar exposure and limited shading.

What solar PV does

Generate electricity on site
Reduce reliance on the grid
Lower daytime electricity costs
Add battery storage for more control
Export unused electricity through SEG tariffs, where eligible

Solar PV is most effective when the design is matched properly to the property, roof and usage pattern.

Battery storage

Battery storage can help you keep more of the electricity your solar panels generate, rather than exporting it immediately. This can be especially useful for properties where electricity use is higher in the evening. Trojan Eco Installs Ltd can also advise on whether battery storage is worth considering as part of a wider solar PV system.

Planning permission and building regulations

For many domestic properties, solar panels are treated as permitted development, so a full planning application may not be required, although important limits and conditions still apply. Planning Portal also notes that building regulations will normally apply, including checks that the roof can safely carry the additional load.

Planning Portal also states that solar panels on non-domestic buildings and land may be permitted development in some cases, again subject to conditions and limits.

We can help you understand the likely route before any work moves forward.

Is your property likely to be suitable?

Solar panels often work best on roofs with strong solar exposure and minimal shading. Energy Saving Trust notes that south-facing roofs with little shading usually perform best, but shading can matter more than direction, meaning a shaded south-facing roof may perform worse than a clearer east- or west-facing roof.

You have a usable roof area
The roof gets good daylight exposure
There is limited shading from trees, chimneys or nearby buildings
The property has suitable electrical setup and roof condition
You want to reduce purchased electricity and improve long-term energy control

A proper assessment is needed to confirm suitability, expected generation and the right system size.

FAQ

Yes. Solar PV generates electricity from daylight and still works on cloudy days, although output is lower than in strong direct sunshine.

Often not for standard domestic installations, but permitted development rules still have limits and conditions, and building regulations usually apply.

Potentially yes, through a Smart Export Guarantee tariff if your installation and setup meet the relevant criteria

That depends on your usage pattern, system design and whether you want to keep more of the electricity you generate for use later in the day.
