Solar panel installers in Coventry (CV1 to CV6)

Local MCS (NIC-1542) solar & battery installation in Coventry

Solar City is an MCS certified (NIC-1542) solar and battery installer based in Tyseley, Birmingham, installing in Coventry, about 16 miles from our depot. Our depot is located about 16 miles east along the A45 Coventry Road corridor. Because our yard at Unit 18, The Business Centre, 20 James Road, Tyseley (B11 2BA) sits right beside the A45, our in-house electricians and roofers reach Allesley, Earlsdon, Finham, Styvechale, Cheylesmore, Wyken, Binley, Coundon, Tile Hill and Keresley in around 25 to 30 minutes.

Chris Hammond has worked in solar since 2002. D J Hammond Electrical Contractors Ltd (company number 05338112) carried out its first solar installs in 2005, and the Solar City brand launched in 2010. Because we never use doorstep salespeople or sub-contracted installation gangs, you deal directly with the qualified electricians and roofers who design, survey and fit your system.

Coventry has a distinctive mix of 1930s bay-fronted semi-detached houses in Earlsdon, Coundon and Cheylesmore, post-war family estates in Wyken, Binley, Walsgrave and Holbrook, and larger detached homes in Finham, Styvechale, Cannon Park and Allesley. Many of these roofs have unobstructed south, south-east or east-west pitches that comfortably accommodate 8 to 14 all-black 465W AIKO solar panels.

On 1930s hipped roofs across CV3, CV5 and CV6, panel layout geometry matters: stepping back cleanly from hip ridges and valleys while aligning to the longest eaves edge allows our engineers to fit a balanced array or split strings across two roof faces using a dual-MPPT Fox ESS or Sigenergy inverter.

Where Coventry homes have integral or detached brick garages (common in Finham, Styvechale and Allesley), we frequently mount the Fox ESS H-series hybrid inverter and EP6 (~5.2 kWh usable) or EP12 (~10.4 kWh usable) LFP battery inside the garage or utility room so no living space is lost.

During every Coventry site survey, our electrician checks your incoming cut-out fuse rating, earthing arrangement, meter tails and consumer unit spare ways, while our roofer inspects the condition of your concrete interlocking tiles, Rosemary clay tiles or slates, loft rafters and felt membrane. We also check whether bird protection mesh (£31.50 per panel, minimum £180 in our design tool) is advisable given local pigeon activity across suburban Coventry estates.
