Solar PV & Battery Storage
Solar panel and battery storage systems designed and installed for homes and businesses across Manchester.
Solar PV Installation in Manchester
Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems allow you to generate your own electricity from sunlight, reducing your energy bills and your carbon footprint. JD Electric 2013 LTD designs and installs solar PV systems and battery storage solutions for domestic and commercial properties across Manchester and Greater Manchester.
We handle the entire process from initial survey and system design through to installation, commissioning, and grid connection notification. Our team will assess your property's orientation, roof space, and energy consumption to design a system that maximises your return on investment.
Pairing your solar panels with a battery storage system allows you to store surplus energy generated during the day for use in the evening and at night, further reducing your reliance on grid electricity. We install leading battery storage systems alongside our solar PV installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will solar panels work in Manchester's climate?
Yes, solar PV panels generate electricity from daylight, not direct sunlight, so they produce energy even on overcast days. Manchester receives sufficient solar irradiance to make solar PV a worthwhile investment for most properties. In addition, high temperatures reduce solar panel performance, so the cooler Manchester climate actually helps improve solar panel productivity.
How much could I save on my energy bills?
Savings depend on the size of your system, your energy consumption, and how much of the generated electricity you use directly. A typical domestic system can save several hundred pounds per year on electricity bills, with additional income available through the Smart Export Guarantee.
Do I need planning permission for solar panels?
In most cases, solar panels on a domestic roof are permitted development and do not require planning permission. Exceptions apply for listed buildings, conservation areas, and some flat roofs. We will advise you during your survey.
What is the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)?
The Smart Export Guarantee requires licensed electricity suppliers to offer a tariff for surplus electricity exported to the grid by small-scale generators. To be eligible, your installation must be MCS-certified. We install to MCS standards.
