Who We Are
Solar Panels Yorkshire is a family-founded solar energy company dedicated to helping Yorkshire homeowners and businesses transition to clean, renewable energy. Established in 2015, we've grown from a small team of passionate renewable energy engineers to a 40-strong workforce serving every corner of Yorkshire — from the bustling streets of Leeds and Sheffield to the quiet villages of the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors.
Our mission is straightforward: to make solar energy accessible, affordable, and hassle-free for everyone in Yorkshire. We believe that every property in the region can benefit from solar panels, and we're committed to providing honest, expert advice — even if that means telling you solar isn't the right fit for your particular property. That integrity has earned us a reputation as one of the most trusted solar companies in northern England.
Over the years, we have installed solar panel systems on a remarkable variety of properties. Our portfolio includes period stone cottages in Harrogate, semi-detached homes in Bradford, new-build housing estates in Wakefield, and large commercial warehouses in Doncaster. Each installation has taught us something new about Yorkshire's diverse building landscape, and this accumulated knowledge directly benefits every new customer we serve.
Our Approach to Solar Installation
What sets us apart from many solar companies is our consultative approach. We never use high-pressure sales tactics or exaggerated savings claims. Instead, every project begins with a thorough, no-obligation site survey conducted by one of our qualified engineers — not a salesperson. During this visit, we assess your roof structure, orientation, and shading profile using specialist equipment to determine exactly how much electricity a solar system could generate on your property.
Following the survey, we produce a detailed, fully itemised proposal that includes realistic energy generation forecasts based on your specific property data, not generic averages. We explain every line item, answer every question, and give you the time and space to make an informed decision. There is never any rush, and we are always available to revisit the survey or adjust the system design to suit your needs and budget.
Our Qualifications & Accreditations
Quality and safety are non-negotiable. Every member of our installation team is fully trained and certified to the highest industry standards. Our company holds the following accreditations, each of which provides our customers with additional layers of protection and assurance:
- MCS Certification — The Microgeneration Certification Scheme is the benchmark for renewable energy installers in the UK. MCS certification ensures our installations meet rigorous quality, safety, and performance standards, and it qualifies our customers for the Smart Export Guarantee.
- RECC Membership — As members of the Renewable Energy Consumer Code, our customers benefit from enhanced consumer protections including a robust complaints procedure, cooling-off periods, and deposit protection.
- NAPIT Registered — All electrical work is completed to Part P Building Regulations standards by qualified electricians registered with NAPIT, one of the UK's leading competent person schemes.
- TrustMark Registered — TrustMark is the only government-endorsed quality assurance scheme for work carried out in and around the home, providing customers with additional peace of mind.
Our Commitment to Yorkshire
As a Yorkshire-born company, we're deeply invested in our local communities. We employ local engineers, apprentices, and support staff from across the region. We source materials from local suppliers wherever possible, and we actively support Yorkshire's transition to a sustainable energy future through community engagement, educational workshops, and partnerships with local housing associations.
Our intimate knowledge of Yorkshire's unique characteristics — its variable weather patterns, diverse architectural styles, planning authority requirements, and grid connection processes — gives us a significant advantage over national installers who may lack this local expertise. When you choose Solar Panels Yorkshire, you're choosing a company that genuinely understands your area and will still be here to support you for decades to come.
Environmental Responsibility
Beyond installing solar panels, we are committed to minimising our own environmental footprint. Our service vehicles are transitioning to fully electric, we recycle all packaging materials from installations, and we participate in panel recycling programmes for end-of-life equipment. To date, the systems we have installed across Yorkshire collectively prevent over 3,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually — the equivalent of planting approximately 140,000 trees every single year.
Data Sources & Transparency
All performance estimates and savings calculations on our website are based on verified data from the Energy Saving Trust, MCS performance databases, and real-world generation data from our own Yorkshire installations. We update our information quarterly to ensure accuracy. Our cost calculator uses conservative estimates to ensure customers are never over-promised — we would rather exceed your expectations than fall short of them.
