Local MCS (NIC-1542) solar & battery installation in Warwick and Leamington Spa

Solar City is an MCS certified (NIC-1542) solar and battery installer based in Tyseley, Birmingham, installing in Warwick and Royal Leamington Spa, about 21 miles from our depot. Our depot is located about 21 miles south-east down the M40 / A46 and A4177 corridor. From our Tyseley depot in Birmingham (B11 2BA), our engineers travel straight down the A41 / M40 or A452 through Solihull and Knowle to Kenilworth (CV8), Warwick (CV34), Royal Leamington Spa (CV31, CV32, CV33), Whitnash, Cubbington, Lillington, Heathcote, Warwick Gates, Hatton and Wellesbourne (CV35).

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.

Warwick, Leamington Spa and Kenilworth combine historic Regency, Victorian and Edwardian townhouses and villas (particularly across central Leamington CV32, Clarendon Square, Milverton and historic Warwick CV34) with substantial post-war and modern detached housing across Warwick Gates, Heathcote, Whitnash, Cubbington, Lillington, Myton and Kenilworth.

On modern detached homes in Warwick Gates, Heathcote, Bishops Tachbrook and Kenilworth, pitched roofs often hold 10 to 16 all-black AIKO Neostar panels (4.65 kWp to 7.44 kWp) paired with a Fox ESS EP12 (~10.4 kWh usable) or Sigenergy SigenStor battery stack and a 7.4 kW home EV charger.

On period slate or clay-tile roofs in Leamington and Warwick, careful rafter fixing, hidden black-on-black rail detailing and discrete rear or side roof aspect selection keep the array sympathetic to the building.

Warwick and Leamington Spa solar panel FAQs

Do you cover Warwick, Leamington Spa, Whitnash and Kenilworth?
Yes. Warwick and Royal Leamington Spa are about 21 miles from our Tyseley, Birmingham depot (B11 2BA) via the M40/A46 corridor, well within our 40-mile Solihull and West Midlands service radius.
Can I install solar panels in the Leamington Spa or Warwick conservation area?
On unlisted houses in a conservation area, pitched-roof solar panels can still fall under Permitted Development if they project less than 200mm and are not subject to an Article 4 direction restricting that elevation; listed buildings always require Listed Building Consent. Read our UK solar planning permission guide and we will check your property during survey.
How much does a solar and battery system cost in Warwick or Leamington?
In our instant design tool, a typical 4 to 4.7 kWp solar-only system (8 to 10 panels) costs around £4,600 to £5,100 (10 panels is £5,085), or £6,435 with a Fox ESS H-series hybrid inverter and EP6 (~5.2 kWh usable) battery, and £7,650 with an EP12 (~10.4 kWh usable) battery. Every figure is indicative, from the Solar City design tool at solarcityuk.co.uk/design. Scaffolding is extra (around £400-£500 per side) and an on-site survey confirms your final design and price.
