Solar Panels for New Build Homes Across the Midlands
The Future Homes Standard (2025) effectively mandates solar on new-build homes. We work with Midlands developers, self-builders and architects to design, install and certify solar PV systems on new-build properties — in-roof, on-roof, or roof-integrated tiles.
✓Fitted at scaffolding stage — no roof access cost
✓Coordinated with developer, roofer, M&E contractor
✓0% VAT (until 31 March 2027)
New build vs retrofit — what's different
New-build solar can be designed into the roof from the start — flush in-roof systems (panels sit in the roof plane, replacing a tile area), or integrated solar tiles (panels ARE the roof). Aesthetically far cleaner than retrofit, often required by planning for sensitive sites. Fitting at scaffolding stage saves £600-£1,200 vs retrofit (no separate scaffolding needed).
Working with Midlands developers
We work routinely with regional and national developers fitting solar on Midlands new-build estates — typically 10-50 plot batches. Volume pricing applies. Coordination with the developer's site programme is critical — we slot in immediately after the roofer.
Frequently asked questions about solar panels for new build homes
Does my Building Control sign-off require solar?▼
Under Part L of the Building Regulations (2022), most new-builds need to demonstrate carbon reduction — solar is the most cost-effective route. Future Homes Standard from 2025 tightens this further.
Can self-builders fit solar themselves?▼
Technically yes, but you'd need to be MCS certified to qualify for the Smart Export Guarantee and 0% VAT. Almost all self-builders use an MCS installer like us.

All package prices assume every panel fits on a single roof elevation. The price covers the cost of scaffolding to one elevation. If your roof needs scaffolding on more than one elevation, or has restricted access, that additional cost is quoted separately after survey. Prices include VAT. Domestic solar and battery storage is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027. Subject to a free technical survey. We will confirm the final price in writing before any work is booked.
