Solar Panel Installation in Solihull | MCS Certified Experts

Solihull is one of the most prosperous metropolitan boroughs in the West Midlands, covering B90–B94 postcodes and including Shirley, Knowle, Dorridge, Dickens Heath, Cheswick Green and the wider rural fringe towards the Warwickshire border. The housing stock skews toward larger detached and semi-detached properties with generous south or southwest-facing rear aspects — ideal geometry for solar. Annual irradiance in Solihull averages 970–1,010 kWh/m², and the borough's relatively low shading environment (fewer high-rises, more open suburban streets) gives consistently good solar yield.

• 4kWp (semi-detached, B90/B91): £6,800–£8,200
• 5kWp (detached, B93/B94): £7,800–£9,400
• 6kWp (large detached, Knowle/Dorridge): £8,500–£10,800
• Battery (GivEnergy 9.5kWh): £3,200–£4,500
• Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh): £7,500–£9,000

Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council does not require planning consent for most residential solar under permitted development. Conservation areas exist in Knowle village centre and parts of Solihull town centre. Most B90–B94 residential properties fall outside these zones. Midland Solar checks all planning constraints before survey, and our Solihull engineers are familiar with the specific requirements in Knowle and historic Dorridge.
