What We Install
Solar Panels
High-efficiency monocrystalline or polycrystalline solar panels, specifically sized for your shed roof. We only use premium panels from trusted manufacturers with excellent warranties.
Charge Controllers
MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) charge controllers that efficiently manage the power flow from your solar panels to your batteries, maximizing energy capture.
Inverters
Pure sine wave inverters that convert the DC power from your solar panels into AC power that can be used with standard household appliances and tools.
Battery Systems
Deep cycle batteries (lead-acid, AGM, or lithium) that store the energy generated by your solar panels for use when the sun isn't shining. Sized according to your power needs.
LED Lighting
Energy-efficient LED lighting systems designed for your shed's interior. These use minimal power while providing excellent illumination for your garden building.
Power Outlets
12V DC and/or 240V AC power outlets installed at convenient locations around your shed, allowing you to power various devices and tools as needed.
Our Installation Process
Initial Assessment
We begin with a thorough assessment of your shed, its location, orientation, and your power requirements. This helps us understand what type of solar system will work best for your specific needs. We'll discuss your budget and expectations to ensure we design a system that meets all your requirements.
Custom System Design
Based on our assessment, we design a bespoke solar system specifically for your shed. This includes selecting the right number and type of solar panels, determining the appropriate battery storage capacity, and designing the electrical system to meet your power needs. We'll provide you with a detailed proposal and quote for the installation.
Professional Installation
Our experienced installation team will carefully install your solar system, ensuring all components are securely mounted and properly connected. This includes fitting the solar panels to your shed roof, installing the charge controller, inverter, and batteries, and wiring up all the electrical components. We take great care to ensure the installation is safe, secure, and aesthetically pleasing.
Testing and Commissioning
Once the installation is complete, we thoroughly test every aspect of the system to ensure it's working correctly and efficiently. We'll check all electrical connections, verify the solar panels are generating power, and confirm that the battery storage and power outlets are functioning as expected. We only consider an installation complete when everything is working perfectly.
Handover and Education
We'll show you how to operate and maintain your new solar system, explaining how everything works and what to expect. We'll provide you with documentation about your system, including warranty information, maintenance guidelines, and contact details for support. Our goal is to ensure you're completely comfortable with your new solar-powered shed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to install solar panels on a shed?
The cost of installing solar panels on a shed varies depending on several factors, including the size of your shed, your power requirements, the type of solar panels and batteries chosen, and the complexity of the installation. Our basic systems start from £500, while more comprehensive setups with larger capacity and additional features can range from £1,000 to £3,000+. We provide a detailed quote after assessing your specific needs during the initial consultation.
How long does the installation take?
Most of our shed solar panel installations are completed in a single day. For more complex systems or larger installations, it might take 2-3 days. The exact timeframe will be provided in your quote after we've assessed your specific requirements. We always aim to minimize disruption to your garden space and complete the installation as efficiently as possible.
Will the solar panels damage my shed roof?
Our installation methods are designed to be safe and secure without causing damage to your shed roof. We use appropriate mounting systems specifically designed for different roof materials (felt, metal, EPDM, etc.). Our experienced installers take great care to ensure the panels are properly secured while maintaining the integrity of your shed's structure and weatherproofing.
How much power will my shed solar system generate?
The amount of power generated depends on several factors, including the number and type of solar panels installed, the orientation and angle of your shed roof, and local weather conditions. As a rough guide, a typical 100W solar panel can generate around 300-400Wh of electricity per day in the UK during summer months, and about 100-200Wh per day in winter. During your consultation, we'll provide specific estimates based on your location and system design.
Do I need planning permission to install solar panels on my shed?
In most cases, installing solar panels on a garden shed falls under permitted development rights and doesn't require planning permission. However, there are exceptions for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if your installation exceeds certain size limits. We'll advise you on planning requirements during our consultation and can provide guidance if permission is needed.
