Solar installers in Bath

Solar for Bath homes,
designed properly.

Cube Solar designs and installs solar PV and battery storage for homes across Bath and the BA1 and BA2 postcodes. We're an electrician-led team: every job starts with an in-person roof survey, and the system is designed around your roof, your consumer unit and the way your household actually uses electricity.

Bath asks more of an installer than most cities. Period terraces, Bath stone, conservation areas and roofs that face three directions at once are normal here. We fit standard on-roof systems, in-roof solar that sits flush with the tiles, and, where the roof itself needs renewing, roof and solar as one managed project. The awkward jobs are the ones we're set up for.

What we do

Everything you need,
under one roof.

Solar panels, battery storage, EV charging and air conditioning for Bath homes and the surrounding area, all designed and installed by our own team.

01
Solar panel installation

Solar PV designed around your roof, your usage and your budget, from straightforward rear slopes to in-roof and reroof projects. We handle everything from survey to DNO paperwork and handover.

02
Battery storage

Store daytime generation for the evening, or charge on a cheap overnight tariff. We size the battery from your actual usage, not the biggest unit on the van.

03
EV charging

Charge your electric vehicle from your own solar panels. Smart home EV chargers that sync directly with your system.

Solar in a World Heritage city

Solar specialists
for Bath homes.

Bath isn't a normal solar market. A national installer working from a satellite image sees a roof; we see a Georgian parapet, a valley gutter, a conservation-area street and a consumer unit that may need work first. These are the things that shape a Bath installation, and the reason every quote starts with a visit.

Georgian and period housing

Many Bath terraces have M-shaped roofs hidden behind a stone parapet. The concealed inner slopes can take panels that can't be seen from the street. Our guide to solar on listed buildings explains how consent works.

Bath stone and conservation areas

Most of the city sits in a conservation area. That adds conditions, not a ban: rear and side slopes usually fall under permitted development. We check what applies at your address. How the conservation-area rules work.

Complex roofs, several orientations

Hips, dormers, valleys and split slopes are common here. We often design across two or more roof faces, isolating each array separately, as on our dual-array Sigenergy install.

Discreet, in-roof solar

On sensitive streets, or where the roof is being replaced, panels can be set into the roof so they sit flush with the tiles. In-roof solar in Bath covers when it's worth it.

Reroof and solar together

If the roof has limited life left, renewing it and fitting solar at the same time avoids lifting the panels later. Cube can manage the roof, solar and battery as one project.

Higher electrical demand

Batteries, EV chargers, heat pumps and three-phase supplies change the design. Because we're electricians first, the inverter, battery and any supply upgrades are planned with the panels, not after them.

FAQ

Solar in Bath:
common questions.

How much do solar panels cost in Bath?

A typical 4kWp residential system costs between £6,000–£8,000 installed. Battery storage adds £3,000–£5,000. In-roof systems, scaffolding on tall Bath terraces and three-phase work can change the figure, which is why we quote after a survey. Qualifying residential solar & battery installations are 0% VAT (until 31 March 2027), and our quotes are fixed.

How long does installation take?

Most residential solar installations are completed in one to two days depending on system size. In-roof systems and projects combined with a reroof take longer. We'll confirm the exact timeline when we survey your property.

Do I need a battery with solar panels?

Not always. Without a battery you use solar while it's generating and export the rest. A battery stores daytime generation for the evening and can charge on a cheap overnight tariff, so it tends to suit households that are out during the day, have an EV or heat pump, or are on a time-of-use tariff. We size it from your usage, or tell you if it isn't worth it.

Is my roof suitable for solar?

Most roofs in Bath are suitable. South, east and west-facing roofs all work well, and many Bath homes use two or more roof faces. We visit every property in person to check the roof, shading and electrics before recommending anything.

Can I install solar in a conservation area or on a listed building?

Often, yes. Conservation areas add conditions rather than a ban: rear and side slopes usually fall under permitted development. Listed buildings need Listed Building Consent, and Bath's M-shaped Georgian roofs often have concealed valleys suited to hidden panels. See our guides on conservation areas and listed buildings.

Can solar be installed while my roof is being replaced?

Yes, and it's often the best time. The scaffold is already up, and the panels can be built into the new roof with an in-roof system. Cube can manage the roof, solar and battery as one project. See Roof + Solar.

Do I need permission from the electricity network?

Every grid-connected system has to be registered with the local network operator, National Grid Electricity Distribution in this area. Smaller systems are notified after installation; larger systems, and some with batteries, need approval before we fit them. We handle the application as part of the job.

What is the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)?

SEG pays you for surplus electricity you export back to the grid. With an MCS certificate for your installation you're eligible to earn £150–£500 a year depending on your system and energy supplier.

Do solar panels work on cloudy days?

Yes, but less. Panels generate from daylight, not just direct sun, though heavy cloud often cuts output to around 10–25% of a bright day. That's why we quote on annual generation, which already allows for UK weather.

Can I get finance or spread the cost?

We don't currently offer finance ourselves. Most of our customers self-fund or use their own borrowing, and some banks offer green home improvement loans worth asking about. We keep our pricing fixed and transparent so you know exactly what you're funding before you commit.
