Home / Solar Panels Durham
Generate your own power and cut your bills. Solar PV, battery storage and EV charger integration across County Durham, installed by our own qualified electricians.
Energy prices aren't going back to where they were. Solar panels let you generate your own electricity, use it as you make it, store the rest in a battery, and lean far less on the grid. We install solar PV systems across County Durham, from the city and Belmont out to Chester-le-Street, Spennymoor and the surrounding villages.
Because we're an all-trades firm with our own qualified electricians, the whole job sits under one roof: the survey, the panel installation, the inverter and battery, the electrical connection and the certification. No separate contractors, no finger-pointing, one firm accountable for the lot.
Every system is designed around your actual roof and your actual usage, not a one-size-fits-all package. We'll tell you honestly what your property can achieve before you spend a penny.
The people on your job work for ATKINSONS. One firm accountable for the lot.
A named Contracts Manager from first visit to final certificate.
Real people answer, day or night. Engineers dispatched, not job numbers logged.
In writing, in plain English. No surprises in the small print.
Tell us the work, the property, your timescale and budget through our quick form, and upload any plans or photos. Everything in one place from the start.
We review what you've sent and decide the best next step, whether that's pricing straight away or sorting drawings, planning or building control first.
Where it's needed, we come and look properly: access, structure, levels and anything affecting the cost. Your chance to ask questions before we quote.
A clear, transparent quote setting out what's included, assumed and excluded, with a payment structure. Confidence in what you're accepting, not a one-line price.
Once you're happy, we sort dates, materials, access and building control before anyone lifts a tool, so the job runs smoothly on site.
Our team arrives clear on the agreed scope, keeps the site tidy, communicates as we go and respects your home throughout.
It depends on the size of the system, your roof and whether you add battery storage. We survey your property, then give a fixed written quote with no call-out charge, so you know exactly what you're paying before you commit.
Savings depend on your usage, your system size and how much power you use during daylight hours. A battery helps you use more of what you generate rather than exporting it cheaply. We'll give you a realistic estimate for your home, not a sales figure.
Under the Smart Export Guarantee, energy suppliers pay for surplus electricity you export to the grid. Eligibility depends on the installation meeting the required standards and certification, which we'll confirm when you enquire.
Not necessarily, but a battery lets you store daytime generation and use it in the evening, which usually makes a solar system work much harder for you. We'll talk through whether it's worth it for your usage.
Most roofs are, but orientation, pitch, shading and condition all matter. We assess all of it at a survey and tell you honestly whether solar is a good fit for your property.
Very little. They're largely self-cleaning in our climate, but an occasional check of the panels, inverter and connections keeps the system performing. We offer maintenance and aftercare if you want it.
Solar PV is electrical work, carried out by our own qualified electricians and certified accordingly. We'll confirm the relevant accreditation, including what's needed for export payments, when you get in touch.
