Solar Panel Installation

Professional solar panel installation designed to reduce energy costs, improve efficiency, and deliver long-term performance for homes and businesses.

At Orton & Wenlock, we design and install reliable solar energy systems tailored to your property, usage, and long-term financial goals. From initial enquiry through to installation and aftercare, our focus is on delivering systems that perform properly and provide measurable value over time.

Solar Panels for Domestic Properties

Renewable energy for the home…

Our solar panel installation service for homeowners is designed to give you greater control over your energy use while reducing reliance on the grid.
Every system we install is tailored to the property and household usage. We assess how and when you use electricity, then design a solar PV system that maximises generation and supports long-term savings. Where appropriate, this includes battery storage to store excess energy for use later in the day.
All installations are carried out by our in-house team, ensuring consistent quality, clear communication, and a high standard of workmanship from start to finish.

With energy prices continuing to fluctuate, solar panel installation offers a practical way to stabilise and reduce household energy costs. Rather than relying entirely on external suppliers, you generate and use your own electricity, improving efficiency and lowering ongoing bills.
Battery storage plays an important role in this. By storing unused electricity during the day, you can reduce the amount of energy you need to import from the grid in the evening, giving you greater independence and control.
For households with electric vehicles, solar can also support lower running costs by powering charging directly from your system.

Solar Panels for Commercial

Renewable energy for business….

Our commercial solar panel installation service is focused on helping businesses reduce operating costs and improve long-term energy efficiency.
We work with a wide range of commercial clients, including industrial units, offices, agricultural sites, and public sector buildings. Each system is designed around the site, energy demand, and operational profile to ensure strong financial performance over time.
Every project is managed end-to-end, with a dedicated project manager overseeing survey, system design, installation, and delivery. This ensures a clear process, minimal disruption, and a system that is installed safely and efficiently.
For many businesses, solar panel installation provides a clear opportunity to reduce electricity spend, particularly where there is consistent daytime energy usage. It also supports broader sustainability objectives and helps organisations move towards lower-carbon operations.
Our role is to provide a clear, commercially realistic view of system performance, expected savings, and long-term return, so you can make a properly informed investment decision.

Solar PV Upgrades

Solar technology continues to improve, and many existing systems can benefit from upgrades that enhance performance and efficiency.
We support both new and existing customers with solar PV upgrades, including system expansions, inverter replacements, and the integration of battery storage. These improvements can help increase generation, improve energy usage, and extend the lifespan of your system.
If you are planning building works such as an extension or roof changes, we can safely remove and reinstall solar panels as required, ensuring your system continues to operate effectively once work is complete.
We also offer ongoing maintenance services, including system checks, cleaning, and bird proofing, helping to protect performance and maintain long-term output.

Battery storage overview

Battery storage is becoming an increasingly important part of modern solar panel installation.
By storing excess electricity generated during the day, battery systems allow you to use more of your own energy rather than exporting it back to the grid. This improves overall system efficiency and increases the financial return from your installation.
For many properties, battery storage helps reduce peak-time electricity usage and provides greater control over when and how energy is used.
We design battery storage as part of the overall system, ensuring it is correctly sized and aligned with your usage patterns, rather than treated as an add-on.

Benefits

Cost

Solar panel installation reduces your reliance on grid electricity, helping to lower energy bills from the moment your system becomes operational. Over time, this can lead to significant cost savings, particularly as energy prices continue to rise.

Independence

Value

A well-designed solar installation can enhance property appeal by improving energy efficiency and reducing running costs. For businesses, it supports stronger financial performance; for homeowners, it adds long-term practical value.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve just had solar battery storage added to my solar PV system, which I have had for several years. I would definitely recommend Orton and Wenlock. The whole process from enquiry to installation was smooth and professional, all my questions were answered, the quote was competitive, the installation quick with no mess left behind. Will be using again. 🙂

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent diagnostics on an issue last year and solved the problem. Plus we just had batteries installed to our panels and we couldn't be happier with the attention to detail and professional service the team gave, highly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Orton & Wenlock have saved the day again for us.  Our aging vulnerable uncle was without electricity suddenly, and they worked it out quickly so that he was immediately safe, and then they managed to come within the week, rearranging schedules to fix the problem.  I can't recommend them enough.  They care about their work and their customers.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Orton & Wenlock has recently completed a 10.75kWh solar PV array with 7.5kWh battery system. From the outset, Steve Hayward, their business development manager was very knowledgeable, and supported us in the planning and installation phases of this project. The install team headed by Conor was very professional and courteous and liaised with me on all aspects of the build. I have no hesitation in recommending them as a preferred supplier of Solar PV systems.
