Electricity is now 24.67p a unit and climbing. Homeowners across Blackpool, Preston, Manchester, Liverpool and the wider North West are switching to solar + EV to cut bills by up to £1,400 a year.
Every price increase makes your home more expensive to run. Solar gives homeowners across the North West a way to generate their own electricity, reduce reliance on the grid and protect against rising energy costs.
Instead of watching your monthly bills climb, you can turn your roof into a long-term saving asset – with the option to charge your EV using cleaner, lower-cost energy from home.
Book your survey and find out whether your home is suitable for solar, EV charging, or a combined installation.
Energy prices aren’t getting cheaper, but your reliance on the grid can. Across the North West, a professionally designed solar system can help you generate your own electricity, reduce monthly bills and protect your home from future price rises.
From survey and system design to installation and aftercare, we deliver tailored solar and EV solutions built around your home, usage and long-term savings.
From your first survey to the final installation, we make the move to solar and EV charging clear, straightforward and stress-free.
We'll visit your home to assess your roof for solar potential and check where your EV charger could go. You'll get an honest view of how much you could save across both systems. No sales pitch, no pressure.
We design solar and EV charging as one connected system, so the sun powers your home first, then tops up your car. You'll get a fixed price quote with a clear, honest forecast of your combined savings.
Our team fits your solar panels, battery and EV charger together, typically in 1 to 2 days. By the end of the week, your roof is generating, your car's charging from sunshine, and your next bill will tell the story.
Make EV charging easier, faster and more convenient with a professionally installed home charger. No more relying on public charging points – just plug in at home and wake up ready to go.
When paired with solar, your EV charger can help you make better use of the energy your home generates, giving you a smarter way to reduce charging costs and get more from every mile.

Switching to solar and EV is one of the biggest upgrades you’ll ever make to your home, so it’s only natural to have questions. We’ve answered the ones we hear most often from Lancashire homeowners below.
If there’s something specific you want to talk through, we’re always happy to chat. No sales pressure, no jargon, just straight answers from a local team that installs these systems every week.
Yes, and it works better than most people think. Solar panels run on daylight, not direct sunshine, so they can still generate power on overcast days across Blackpool, Preston, Manchester, Liverpool and the wider North West. A typical 4kW system can produce enough electricity each year to cover a large portion of a family home’s usage, with potential savings of up to £1,400 a year on your bills. The grey skies aren’t the problem people imagine.
A typical home install with solar panels, battery storage and a 7kW EV charger ranges from around £8,000 to £14,000 depending on system size. Solar comes with 0% VAT for residential installs, and there’s a government grant of up to £350 available for eligible EV chargers. Most Lancashire homes break even within 6 to 9 years, then it’s pure savings for the next 15 to 20 years on top.
Your battery does the heavy lifting. During the day, your solar panels generate power, run your home, and store the surplus in your battery. At night or on darker days, your home draws from the battery first, then from the grid only if it has to. With a properly sized battery, most homeowners use grid electricity for just a small fraction of their total energy.
Yes, and that’s where the real magic happens. We design the system so excess solar power tops up your car automatically, meaning you can drive for almost nothing when the sun is generating. Plug in overnight on an EV tariff like Octopus Intelligent Go, and you’re charging for as little as 2p a mile. Compare that to 15p or more for petrol.
Most full solar and EV installs are completed in 1 to 2 days. The roof team handles the panels, our electricians wire in the battery, inverter and EV charger, then we test everything and walk you through how it works. There’s no major mess, no need to move out, and your power’s only off for short periods while we make the final connections.
Fill in the form and we’ll be in touch shortly to talk through your options. No pressure, no jargon, no salesperson on your sofa. Just honest answers from a local team that installs solar and EV systems every week.
