Solar PV
Rooftop solar that makes power for the home, planned as part of a wider fabric-first package.
Solar, in plain English
Solar panels on the roof turn daylight into electricity for the home. That helps reduce bills by covering some of the power you would otherwise buy from the grid during the day.
What you get from doing it properly
Your roof helps pay for daytime electricity use.
Works well with battery storage so more of that power is used in the evening.
Stronger results when the house is already holding heat properly.
We survey the roof, design a neat array, then fit it.
The panels go on once we know the roof, the electrics and how the house uses power. Battery can go on in the same visit if it belongs there.
Time on site
Typically 1–2 days on the roof
Survey and design come first. Scaffolding or roof access is arranged around the install. A larger array, or awkward access, takes longer.
- 01
Roof and electrics
We check the roof covering, structure, orientation and the consumer unit so the array is sized for this house, not a brochure.
- 02
Design and install
A neat, MCS-certified array. Most domestic jobs are a day or two on the roof once the kit is ready.

Commission and hand over
We commission the system and leave you with simple guidance on generation, not a manual you will never open.
MCS is the accrediting body
Solar PV has to be installed by an MCS certified contractor if you want the work to count for quality schemes and most funding. That is us.
MCS
The Microgeneration Certification Scheme is the standard for solar PV installers in the UK. Westdale North is MCS certified.
TrustMark
MCS solar work is lodged through TrustMark, the government-endorsed quality mark.
