We fit solar panels and batteries on Twickenham homes and businesses regularly, so you get a genuinely local installer who knows the area and the roofs, not a national call centre passing you on.
Four things decide it. Most homes pass on all four, and the one people worry about most is rarely the problem.
The question we are asked most, and the one people get wrong. Due south is best, but in Twickenham an east-facing roof still returns about 80% of a south-facing one and west about 79%. South-east and south-west are within 6%. A roof that is not south facing is usually still worth doing.
A 4kW system needs roughly 9 panels and about 18 square metres of usable roof. Panels can be split across two faces where one is not big enough, which is common on terraces and on houses with a rear extension.
A chimney, a dormer or a neighbour's tree costs more than people expect, because shade on one panel used to drag down the whole string. Panel-level optimisers or microinverters fix that, and the survey is where we work out whether you need them.
We check age, covering and structure before anything else. If a roof needs work in the next few years, it is cheaper to do it before the panels go on, and we will say so rather than fit around it.

No, and the gap is smaller than most people expect. In the UK the sun sits in the southern sky, which is why a south-facing roof is the 100% case and every other direction is measured against it. Modelled for Twickenham.
Each figure is that orientation’s own annual output in Twickenham. The compass turns with the house, so the reading is for the way it is facing. Tap any of the five to hold it.
PVGIS (EU Joint Research Centre), 4kW system at a 35 degree pitch. An east or west facing roof in Twickenham still returns around four fifths of a south-facing one, which is usually the difference between worth doing and not.
Start with the one figure you already know off your bill. What comes back is what we actually quote a home that uses that much, and what it would make in Twickenham.
5,000kWh
It starts at 5,000 kWh, the middle of the 1,504 quotes we hold a usage figure for. The mark shows TW: a median of 5,000 kWh across 25 quotes.

| System | Panels | Generation a year | Typically suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3kWp | 6 panels | 2,978 kWh | Smaller homes, or a roof with one usable face |
| 4kWp | 8 panels | 3,971 kWh | Around the size we fit most often |
| 6kWp | 13 panels | 5,957 kWh | Larger homes, or a household with an EV |
| 8kWp | 17 panels | 7,942 kWh | High usage, an EV and a heat pump |
Generation from PVGIS (EU Joint Research Centre), 35 degree pitch, due south. The size we suggest is the median we quote homes in your usage band across 1,450 quotes, not a rule of thumb: real quoting is much flatter than usage, because roof space caps the top of it. Panels at 480W, the AIKO module in most of our quotes; the 470W DMEGC needs one more for the same output. The table models whole kWp sizes, so its panel counts are the nearest module. What you save depends on your tariff and how much you use during daylight, which is what the free assessment works out. We will not put a figure on it before we have seen your bill.

These schemes offer financial incentives and payments for generating renewable energy, helping to offset the cost of solar panel installations.
Yes, solar panels can still be installed on roofs that are not south-facing in Twickenham.

It depends on your roof and how much electricity you use, not on the town. Modelled by PVGIS, a 4kW system in Twickenham returns about 3,971 kWh a year, and the median system we are asked to quote in the TW postcode area is 5.64 kW. Whether that adds up for you comes down to your tariff and how much you use during daylight, which is what the free assessment works out. We will not put a figure on it before we have seen your bill.
About 3,971 kWh a year from a 4kW system, modelled for Twickenham by PVGIS (the EU Joint Research Centre) at a 35 degree pitch facing south. It is not spread evenly: roughly 474 kWh in May against 142 kWh in December. Your own figure depends on which way the roof faces, its pitch and any shading, which is what the survey measures.
No. They run on daylight rather than heat or direct sun, so they generate on overcast days too. Twickenham shows it plainly: the same 4kW system still returns about 142 kWh through December, the dullest month of the year here.
Yes. We survey and install across the TW postcodes, including TW7, TW18, TW2, TW5, TW3, TW15, TW9 and TW4. If your postcode is not in that list it is still worth asking, because the list is drawn from where we actually work rather than a radius drawn on a map.
Yes. Work is carried out under our own MCS registration. That matters beyond the badge: MCS is the UK government-recognised standard for solar installations and it is what the Smart Export Guarantee requires, so without it you cannot be paid for what you export. You can check any installer, us included, by name at mcscertified.com before you commit.
Check three things before you compare prices. That the installer is MCS certified, because the Smart Export Guarantee depends on it. That the quote is itemised, so you can see the panel, the inverter and the battery separately instead of one number. And that the workmanship warranty is written down, with who honours it named. It is also worth asking who files your DNO paperwork, because that is the step most often left to the customer.
They cut what you buy from the grid, and how much depends on your tariff, when you use power and whether you add a battery. In the TW postcode area 90% of the systems we are asked to quote include storage, which is what lifts the share of your own generation you actually use. We will not put a saving figure on it before we have seen your bill.
Solar panels turn daylight into electricity: the panels generate DC power, an inverter converts it to the AC your home uses, and anything you do not use can charge a battery or export to the grid. They run on daylight rather than direct heat, so they work all year round. Every system we fit in Twickenham is sized and wired to your own roof and usage.
It depends on how much electricity you use, your roof space and whether you add a battery, not your postcode. The system we fit most around Twickenham is about 4kW; after a free assessment we size it to your actual bills so you are not over- or under-panelled.
Yes. Solar panels run on daylight rather than heat, so they still generate on overcast days and through winter, just less than at the height of summer. For Twickenham that is about 142 kWh in December against 474 kWh in May from the same 4kW system, which is why we size systems around your annual usage rather than a single sunny day.
As well as cutting your bills, solar and battery systems can make a home more appealing to buyers, and several studies link them to a modest uplift in value. In Twickenham, the day-to-day saving on your electricity is usually the bigger draw, with any resale benefit on top.
