With over 20 years of experience, we provide solar and battery installation, maintenance, and repair solutions to the West Midlands and surrounding areas. We help our customers maximise their solar investments by offering modern solar panels that not only complement their homes in appearance but also save them money.

Most home solar installations can be finished in less than a day. After we install your system, one of our technicians will guide you through its operation and functionality. You’ll also receive a comprehensive manual, along with all necessary certifications and documentation. Additionally, we’re here to assist you with your application for the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), if needed.

How Much Do Domestic Solar Panels Cost?

Homeowners looking to install new solar panels can expect to pay between £3,500 to £9,000 when they choose us. The exact cost can fluctuate based on factors such as the size of your property and the specific installation type you choose. Please get in touch, and we can provide you with an overall project estimate.

How Long Does It Take to Install?

Typically, we complete your home solar installation in about 1 to 3 days, depending on the size and complexity of the system. Our experienced team ensures a seamless process, from mounting the panels to connecting the battery and integrating the system with your home’s electrical setup. We handle every detail with precision, so you can start enjoying clean, renewable energy as quickly as possible.

Types of Solar Panels

At Goodwill, through our domestic solar panel installation services, we can integrate any type of system into your home. Usually, we install N-type monocrystalline panels, renowned for their market-leading efficiency and exceptional value. To suit the unique aesthetics of residential properties, we typically recommend all-black panels, which seamlessly blend with your home’s design while delivering outstanding performance.

These panels come with impressive warranties, covering 30 years of performance, ensuring long-term reliability and peace of mind.

Solar Battery Installation Solutions

Combining solar panels with a battery storage solution is a game-changer for homeowners looking to maximise their energy efficiency and savings. With solar battery installation, you can store the excess energy generated by your solar panels during the day and use it when you need it most, like in the evenings or on cloudy days. This not only reduces your reliance on the grid but also ensures a steady supply of clean, affordable energy regardless of weather conditions or time of day. By integrating solar panels with a battery system, you can take full control of your energy usage, lower your electricity bills, and contribute to a more sustainable future.

It’s a smart, long-term investment that enhances the value and functionality of your solar PV system. Contact us for more information about our solar battery installation services.

We Are MCS Certified – Commitment to Quality

We take pride in being MCS certified, a testament to our commitment to quality, competency, and compliance in the field of low-carbon energy technologies. The Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) is a nationally recognised mark of quality, ensuring that products, contractors, and installations meet strict standards of excellence. This certification encompasses a wide range of technologies, including solar panels, which are a key focus for us. By choosing Goodwill Electrical for solar panel installation and maintenance, you are entrusting your home’s transition to renewable energy to a team whose expertise and operations meet the high standards set by the MCS. This not only supports the decarbonisation of heat and power in UK homes but also provides you with the assurance that your home-grown energy solution is of the highest quality.

A well-designed system can drastically reduce your electricity bills, often by 50-90%, depending on your energy usage and the size of your system. In some cases, you may even receive credits from your utility company for excess energy you produce.

In most cases, you won’t need planning permission for domestic solar panel installation. However, there are exceptions. If your property has a flat roof, is a listed building, or is located in a conservation area, you may need to seek permission.

While it’s technically possible to uninstall and reinstall your solar panels at a new property, we don’t recommend it. Your solar PV system adds value to your current home, and moving it could result in additional costs and complications. You’d need to inform your District Network Operator (DNO) and get their approval for the move. In most cases, it’s more cost-effective to invest in a new system tailored to your new home.

We can help you explore the best options for solar panels for your home.

Yes, it’s essential to notify your electricity supplier when you install solar panels. This ensures they can accurately measure your electricity usage and adjust your billing accordingly. Additionally, you’ll need to inform your DNO and obtain their permission for the installation.

Not at all! At Goodwill Electrical, we use a rail system to securely mount your panels to your roof. This system is designed to maintain the structural integrity of your roof and keep it watertight. Our expert team ensures that your solar PV system is installed with care, so you can enjoy the benefits of solar energy without worrying about roof damage.

The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) scheme allows you to sell any surplus energy your solar panels produce back to the grid. When you choose Goodwill Electrical for your domestic solar panel installation, we’ll ensure your system is set up with a smart meter, which is required for SEG participation. Once your system is up and running, you can explore SEG rates from various providers (they don’t have to be your electricity supplier) and choose the best deal.

Solar panels for your home offer an impressive array of benefits, making them an increasingly popular choice for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint and utility bills. One of the primary advantages is the significant reduction in electricity costs, as homeowners can generate their own power and even earn back money through feed-in tariffs where excess electricity is sold back to the grid. Furthermore, solar energy is green, renewable, and sustainable, helping to decrease carbon emissions and combat climate change. Additionally, the domestic solar panel installation often increases property value, making it a wise investment for the future. With advancements in technology, solar panels for your home have become more efficient and affordable, making them accessible to a broader range of homeowners.

If you have used our home solar installation services, your panels and battery typically don’t require regular maintenance. However, we can provide home solar maintenance services if needed.

Paul turned up promptly to view the job required and issued a written quotation within two days.

The team have done an excellent job including putting all the carpets back in place, tidying up, and vacuuming everywhere, and even shampooing the carpets were required to bring them back to their original condition. He and his team are hard-working, working 8 am till 6 pm every day to complete the job. Paul and his team are very competent; therefore I would highly recommend them to carry out any electrical work.

Goodwill Electrical are a truly skilled and friendly team, who worked continuously to complete the works and were very respectful of the property and contents. During the quotation visit, I was not sure of best ways to achieve some aspects of what was wanted or needed throughout my 1930’s semi. Paul explained options and gave informative advice. Excellent workmanship and very clean and tidy after the job was finished.

What a like about Paul is his kind disposition and willingness to help with the urgency of the situation as well as his professionalism and good manners. He was loyal to his quote throughout the job and there were no “hidden extras”. His communication about the nature of the work involved was excellent. He was on time every day.

I asked Paul to check the wiring in my house after I was told by a different electrician that we would need a full rewire. Paul told us that we don’t need a rewire and that our electrics are absolutely fine. I’m so glad we checked with Paul as this would have been one very expensive mistake if not! He also didn’t charge us anything for the call out after seeing that nothing was wrong with the electrics. If we ever do have any problems we definitely know who to call now though.

Thanks again Paul.

We required a hard wiring inspection to be done urgently on our property. I am so pleased I found Goodwill Electrical when I did a search. I did an online enquiry and Paul got back to me straightaway to discuss the work, a quote and date.

After completing the inspection and the remedial work required, they have now also fitted a car charger for us.

We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Goodwill Electrical. They are prompt, courteous and professional and we will certainly use them again without hesitation.

Spoke to you this afternoon about getting an new RCD fitted on my shower unit, you were very helpful and informative.

I’m now much more knowledgeable about what is involved in fitting these devices and the price and work involved……much more than I anticipated.

Thank you for your help and advice, I’m much clearer now on what’s needed going forward.
