Why Cheshire — and what makes local matter.
Cheshire coverage from Stafford
Cheshire is a short run from Stafford via M6. We regularly install across Crewe, Nantwich, Sandbach, Congleton, Northwich, Middlewich, Macclesfield and the surrounding villages. The eastern and southern parts of the county are inside our normal operating radius.
The Cheshire property profile
Cheshire tilts significantly towards larger detached and semi-detached stock — 90s–2010s builds with clean roof geometry, older village farmhouses and converted stone properties, plus premium new-build estates around Alsager and Sandbach. High daytime consumption households (heat pumps, EVs) make this an ideal solar-and-battery market.
Most-requested Cheshire jobs
Solar + battery installs on larger detached properties (often 6–10kW systems with 10–20kWh batteries), EV chargers to detached garages with groundworks, retrofit batteries to existing 3–5 year old solar systems, and commercial solar on rural agricultural and workshop buildings.
DNO
Cheshire is served by SP Energy Networks and National Grid ED depending on location. We handle both. Higher-capacity G99 applications for solar + battery + EV combined are routine — we set expectations honestly on timeline.

Property and infrastructure quirks in Cheshire.
Large systems on premium new-builds — DNO capacity constraints
Some newer Cheshire estates have local DNO capacity constraints that cap export at a specific kW. This is designed around at inverter stage — we test for it in G99 at survey rather than discovering it mid-install.
Older stone properties and roof mounting
Cheshire's stone and slate properties need different roof hooks and flashing kits from standard interlocking-tile installs. We spec these correctly at survey and cost accordingly.
Long garage-to-house cable runs
Detached garaging 20–50m from the main house is common. EV charger installs here need SWA, correct burial depth, glanding and reinstatement — factored in from day one.
Retrofit batteries on older solar systems
A lot of Cheshire homes had solar installed 2018–2021 without battery. Adding a battery now is often AC-coupled to work with the existing inverter — we design the retrofit to work with your current setup rather than requiring a full replacement.

Frequently asked questions — Cheshire.
Do you cover the whole of Cheshire?+
We cover eastern and southern Cheshire routinely — Crewe, Nantwich, Sandbach, Congleton, Northwich, Middlewich, Macclesfield and the surrounding villages. Chester and the far west are on a case-by-case basis.
Can you retrofit a battery to my existing solar?+
Yes — Cheshire has a large stock of 2018–2021 solar systems that were fitted without battery. We do AC-coupled and DC-coupled retrofits routinely depending on your inverter and system layout.
How long is a solar install typically in Cheshire?+
Domestic solar + battery installs are 1–2 days on site once G99 has been approved. Total lead time from survey to install is usually 4–8 weeks.
How much for solar + battery in Cheshire?+
Bespoke, driven by roof, consumption and battery capacity. Most Cheshire installs land between £10,000 and £20,000 given the larger property profile — fixed written quote after survey.
What about groundworks for a detached garage EV charger?+
Standard for us in Cheshire. Runs up to 40m in SWA are routine. Reinstatement of paving, gravel and turf is part of the quote.
Do you cover commercial solar for Cheshire businesses?+
Yes — rural agricultural buildings, workshops and small commercial units are part of our commercial offering.
Can you help if a Cheshire installer has gone out of business?+
Yes — we do repair, servicing and rectification on other installers' work, and can coordinate manufacturer warranty claims even where the original installer is no longer trading.
What DNO covers my Cheshire property?+
It depends on postcode — SP Energy Networks in some areas, National Grid ED in others. We identify which at survey and manage the application on your behalf.
