MCS Certified Solar Panel Installation in Wirral
We supply and install solar panels across the Wirral for homes and businesses. Generation Green is an MCS-certified solar panel installer based in Chester, and we work on Wirral properties regularly – from Victorian terraces in Birkenhead to detached homes in Heswall and modern builds in Bebington. As trusted local installers in the North West renewable energy sector, we personalise every solar PV system around your property and energy needs.
Solar Panel Installers Wirral – Why Generation Green
As local solar installers in Wirral, we deliver high-quality solar solutions for homeowners and businesses across the peninsula. We hold MCS accreditation, which means every installation of solar panels we complete is registered under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme. This allows you to access the Smart Export Guarantee and is often required by mortgage lenders. We are also TrustMark registered, RECC members, NICEIC approved, and OZEV certified for EV charging.
We install solar across the Wirral regularly, so we are familiar with the challenges older properties present – mixed roofing materials, limited loft access, and coastal wind exposure that requires reinforced fixings. If your property is in a conservation area, we will explain the practical options and handle any planning considerations.
Every solar PV system comes with monitoring set up so you can track output and spot any issues early. We handle all paperwork including building control notifications and DNO applications to Scottish Power Energy Networks on your behalf. Our aim is to reduce energy costs for every household we work with and help Wirral residents reduce your carbon footprint through clean, renewable energy.

What Our Customers Say
Solar Panels Birkenhead
Birkenhead has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis, and post-war housing that all suit solar panel installation. Terraced properties typically accommodate 8 to 10 panels on a rear-facing roof, generating around 2,800 kWh to 3,400 kWh annually. Semi-detached and detached homes in areas like Oxton and Prenton often have larger roof areas that support full 4 kW systems.
We install regularly in Birkenhead and understand the specific requirements – older slate roofs need careful bracket placement, and some properties require reinforced rail systems to meet wind loading standards for the Wirral coast. We assess every roof during the free survey and design the system to maximise generation from the available space.
Free Solar Panels Wirral
Wirral Council has run the Solar Together scheme, a group-buying programme that gives residents access to solar panel installations at reduced rates. The scheme is managed through iChoosr and opens for registration periodically. If a round is currently open, you can register through the Wirral Council website.
There are no government grants that cover the full cost of solar panels for most homeowners. However, the 0% VAT rate on solar panel installations with battery storage reduces the upfront cost significantly. If you install solar panels without a battery, VAT is also 0% for residential properties.
Once your system is live, the Smart Export Guarantee pays you for surplus electricity exported to the grid. Typical Wirral systems export 1,200 kWh to 1,800 kWh annually, generating £60 to £270 in additional income depending on your SEG tariff.
We can advise on available financing options during your free consultation. Call 01244 848 688 to discuss what is available.
How We Install Solar Panels in Wirral
Every solar panel installation Wirral homeowners invest in follows our structured process from initial survey through to commissioning. We manage the full solar PV installation so you have a single point of contact throughout.
Battery Storage and EV Charging
A battery storage system stores surplus solar energy generated during the day for use in the evening when grid rates are highest. Without a battery, excess energy exports to the grid at lower SEG rates than you pay to buy it back. Adding battery storage solutions increases self-consumption from around 35% to 80%, and the full system qualifies for 0% VAT.
We supply and install battery systems from Tesla Powerwall, GivEnergy, and Huawei alongside solar panels or as a retrofit to existing solar PV systems.
We also install EV charging points that integrate with your solar energy system. Smart chargers prioritise solar generation when available, reducing both fuel costs and carbon emissions. A typical electric vehicle charged from solar power saves between £800 and £1,200 annually compared to grid electricity or public charging.
