MCS Certified Solar Panel Installation in Wales for Homes and Businesses
Benefits of Solar Energy for your home
How Does the Solar Panel Installation Process Work?
Generation Green Ltd install MCS certified solar panels across North and Mid Wales, including Wrexham, Mold, Buckley, Deeside, Ruthin, Denbigh, Rhyl, Prestatyn, St Asaph, Llangollen, Chirk, Welshpool and Newtown. Our services cover residential solar panels and commercial solar panel installation. Wales is served by the same Chester based team that works right across the region, and our Solar Panels North Wales page sets out the coastal and rural areas we cover in more detail.
1. Free consultation and survey – we assess your property, analyse energy consumption and design the right solar PV system for your home or business. No pressure and no hard sell, just clear advice on whether installing solar panels is right for you. Our experienced team guides you from the first call.
2. Custom system design – every solar installation is unique. We tailor solar panel systems to your roof layout, orientation, energy needs and budget. We use high-quality solar panels from JA Solar and Longi with Growatt inverters – premium solar components delivering high-quality energy generation for decades.
3. Professional installation – our MCS certified solar panel installers complete most residential or commercial installations in one day. We erect scaffolding, fix mounting rails, clamp panels, run cables and mount inverters. Our NICEIC approved contractor status means we carry out all electrical work in-house – no subcontractors.
4. Commissioning and aftercare – we test and commission your solar PV system, register you for the Smart Export Guarantee, handle all DNO notifications and provide ongoing aftercare. You can monitor generation, consumption and savings in real-time from your phone. Any surplus energy generated is exported back to the grid and you get paid for it.
Solar Panels Across North and Mid Wales
Beyond the main towns we cover Wrexham, Mold, Buckley, Connah’s Quay, Flint, Holywell, Ruthin, Denbigh, Rhyl, Prestatyn, St Asaph, Abergele, Colwyn Bay, Llandudno and Conwy, across to Bangor, Caernarfon and Anglesey, and south through Llangollen, Corwen, Bala, Welshpool, Newtown and Machynlleth. North and Mid Wales is a mix of town housing, exposed coastal property and rural off-mains homes, and each one needs a different design.
Off-Mains and Rural Properties
Large parts of rural Wales are not on the mains gas grid, so heating runs on oil, LPG or electricity at a much higher unit cost than the rest of the country. That changes the sums: every unit a solar array generates is displacing expensive electricity rather than cheap gas, and the payback is usually shorter than it would be on the same house in a gas-supplied town. Rural properties also sit further from the substation and see more outages, which is why we almost always quote solar with battery storage here rather than solar on its own. See battery storage.
Grants and Funding in Wales
Wales has its own funding routes on top of the GB-wide schemes. ECO4 runs through the energy suppliers and can cover solar where the home qualifies on benefits, income or a poor EPC. The Welsh Government Warm Homes Nest scheme sits alongside it, and most Welsh local authorities operate flexible eligibility, which widens who can qualify beyond the standard benefit checks. We handle the eligibility check and the paperwork as part of the job. Full detail on what is available is on our solar panel grants in Wales page, and there is a separate guide to insulation grants in Wales, which are often worth taking first because a warmer fabric makes the solar and battery work harder.
Coastal, Upland and Listed Property
The North Wales coast from Prestatyn round to Anglesey is genuinely exposed, so fixings and mounting rails need specifying for salt air and wind loading rather than picking the cheapest kit. Inland, Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, the AONBs and the conservation areas in towns like Ruthin, Conwy and Llangollen bring planning considerations, and listed property will usually need consent. In-roof mounting, which sets the panels flush within the roof covering instead of on brackets above it, is normally the design that gets approved, and we quote both options at survey so you can see the cost difference before deciding.
