Solar Panels in Tamworth: Your 2026 Local Expert Guide

Solar Panels in Tamworth: From Our Home Base
Midland Solar is based in Tamworth — so when we install solar panels here, we're looking after our own community. Our engineers know every estate, every roof type, and every local planning consideration across B77, B78, and B79 postcodes.
Is Tamworth Good for Solar?
Yes. Tamworth's position in the south Staffordshire/north Warwickshire belt gives it around 1,400 sunshine hours annually — well above the UK average. The town's mix of modern estates in Dosthill, Glascote, Belgrave, and Amington, plus larger detached properties in Fazeley and Wilnecote, offers excellent rooftop solar opportunities.
Tamworth Housing and Solar Compatibility
- Newer estates (Dosthill, Glascote Heath): Built from the 1980s onwards, often with south-facing rear roofs. Ideal for 12–16 panel systems.
- Detached homes (Drayton Bassett, Hints Road corridor): Larger rooftops, well suited to 16–20 panel powerhouse systems
- Town centre terraces: North/south split roofs — we'll advise on the best-performing side
