FAQs
The exact price for your Richmond property depends on several factors, including your roof's orientation, pitch, and energy needs.

Most solar installations in Richmond upon Thames fall under "Permitted Development," meaning you typically do not need formal planning permission. However, Richmond has a high number of Conservation Areas and listed buildings where stricter rules apply to preserve the borough's character. While living in a Conservation Area often requires a planning application, our partnership with Richmond Council allows us to streamline this process. We work closely with the planning department to ensure our bespoke designs are compliant, often saving residents time and hundreds of pounds in application fees.
There are several ways Richmond residents can reduce the cost of going solar:
- Council Discount: All residents in the borough of Richmond upon Thames are eligible for an automatic £500 discount through the MakeMyHouseGreen partnership.
- 0% VAT: A UK-wide government scheme currently offers 0% VAT on energy-efficient measures, including solar installations, until April 2027.
- Smart Export Guarantee (SEG): While not an upfront grant, this scheme allows Richmond homeowners to earn money back by exporting excess energy back to the grid.
We offer a range of systems to suit different roof types. Flat roof installations are a common and effective solution in the borough.
The best way to determine if solar is a good fit is to chat with our solar experts for a free assessment. We look at several factors specific to your property, including:
- Roof Orientation: South-facing is ideal, but east- and west-facing roofs also perform well.
- Daylight Exposure: We assess potential shading from nearby trees or chimneys that could impact your output.
- Energy Goals: We review your annual energy usage to determine the optimal system size for your needs.
